Join us as we blend the wellness qualities of cannabis and CBD with Sacred Sound!
If you use cannabis, have considered using it, or just want to learn more about its health benefits, this event is for you!
According to research published on ProjectCBD.org, many people seek alternatives to pharmaceuticals with harsh side effects – medicine more in synch with natural processes. By tapping into how we function biologically on a deep level, cannabis and CBD can provide relief for chronic pain, anxiety, inflammation, depression, and many other conditions.
Gongs are precision sound healing instruments that acoustically elevate us, creating a deep, spontaneous meditative state that restores harmony and vitality to the mind, body and soul.
Event Description: The 90-minute event includes a 62-minute Gong Meditation, followed by sweets and community. Before the Gong Meditation, we’ll have a brief discussion on the healing attributes of the Gong, and we’ll hear from Dr. James Lathrop, owner and cannabis expert from Cannabis City, on the wellness benefits of cannabis and CBD – what it is, how to use it, and why it works. There will be a short 10-minute intermission between the presentations and the Gong Meditation.
