There is a third way to use Cannabis (beyond recreational and medical), as a sacred and ancient plant teacher.
Cannabis {Santa Maria} has been used ceremonially in almost every major religion, and its spiritual use goes back thousands of years, predating all religious traditions.
Join Mark Abrams as he guides you into developing a deeper connection with yourself, and this sacred, and often misunderstood ancient plant teacher.
This should really go without saying but these are inclusive ceremonies that openly embrace all ethnicities, all races, all cultures, all religions (or no religion), all genders, all sexual orientations, all ages (over 21), all sizes, and all types.
While we hold a sacred ceremonial space and work with core shamanic practices that are common to plant-medicine work, we do not make any claims as to the nature of reality. We do not look to promote or dislodge any particular religious/spiritual beliefs.
Highest Light ceremonies are not about getting high for recreational purposes (not that there is anything wrong with that!). This is a deeply immersive experience in a safe and sacred space, using intention, awareness, breath, mind, body, and sound to journey within--to see--to explore the depths of our own being.
Having said that, ceremonies are usually highly enjoyable.
------------
WHEN
SAT 10/31/20 from 4:20 PM to 11 PM
***Doors open at 3:30. We start promptly at 4:20. DOORS CLOSE to late arrivals. Please come at least 15 min early to check in, get situated, and to get to know the other journeyers that you will be spending the evening with.
------------
SO WHO IS THIS CEREMONY FOR?
-If you are interested in self-discovery and personal growth, and simply curious about how the intentional use of this ancient plant teacher may be of some benefit, then this ceremony is for you. Benefits listed below under "What May Happen in Ceremony."
-Experienced users that would like to explore the use of Cannabis in a new way beyond medical or recreational use.
-Total newbies that have never ingested Cannabis before but are interested in trying. This ceremony would be a great space for your first time--safe and supportive.
-Experienced users that already work with Cannabis in a meditative, embodied way, or spiritual way, and would like to explore new possibilities.
-Anyone who tends to get anxious, overly self-conscious, or have a lot of negative fear-based thoughts when using Cannabis AND would like to explore and transcend those thoughts and emotions in a safe setting with proper guidance.
-Anyone who would like to heal a strained relationship with Cannabis due to overuse, abuse, or negative attitudes by communing with her in a safe space, along with proper tools and guidance.
-Anyone interested in exploring other entheogenic plant substances (where they are legal), such as Ayahuasca, San Pedro, or Peyote. Highest Light ceremonies provide a foundation and skill set that help to prepare participants for work with other potent plant medicines and substances.
------------
WHAT MAY HAPPEN IN CEREMONY?
-You may learn about yourself in a new and different way. Illuminate blind spots in your life that may be preventing you from living to your fullest.

WHAT TO EXPECT

-You will then commune with the Cannabis that either you personally brought to the ceremony, or that is shared by other members/participants of our community. Much more on this the next section below.
-While we are patiently waiting for the medicine to take hold, we do guided practices to relax the body, quiet the mind, and regulate the breath, so that we may meet our plant ally in an optimal state.
-Slowly and gently, we tunnel into a magical journey...
-After, we'll grab some snacks and have a sharemony within a ceremony where we authentically relate with each other through structured sharing.
-We close the circle around 10:30 pm, and no later than 11:00. You are welcome to hang for a bit, enjoy provided snacks, and get to know fellow journeyers.

ABOUT THE CANNABIS {SANTA MARIA}:
In compliance with all Colorado and local consumption laws, Cannabis is not included in your admission to any Highest Light ceremony. We do not sell any Cannabis products containing THC.
Members/participants of the Highest Light community bring both Cannabis-infused oil and dried flower to share in ceremony.
One or more active members oftentimes donate a Cannabis coconut oil or ghee to share with other participants. But this is never guaranteed as part of your admission.
All Cannabis oil that is donated is made with loving care. The Cannabis is grown organically in living soil without pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. The flower is infused in organic coconut oil or ghee, creating a full-spectrum oil of cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other plant constituents. She is prayed on regularly.
For ceremony, Highest Light makes a non-psychoactive tea that we then combine with member-donated Cannabis oil (when available). This is a tasty hot chai-like beverage (vegan), inspired by an ancient drink native to India, called a Bhang Thandai.
The tea is infused with spices, botanical extracts (legal and non-psychoactive) that help to even out some of the less desirable effects of Cannabis. The tea ingredients are available upon request.
Each participant is required to bring a minimum of 1 gram of dried Cannabis flower from a local dispensary to share. This must be brought in the original dispensary packaging with an unbroken seal.
Participants have the option to smoke/vape the flower that they bring, or share in Cannabis-infused tea (if and when available). However, for obvious safety reasons, we do not allow both smoking/vaping AND consumption of Cannabis-infused tea in the same evening. So you will have to choose before we begin.
As previously stated, Cannabis is not provided as part of your admission to any Highest Light ceremony. Any Cannabis oil is donated by members/participants, so do not count on it being available. Be prepared to smoke/vape what you bring.
------------

ABOUT MARK ABRAMS / Journey Guide
MARK ABRAMS
Journey Guide
If we keep swimming far enough upstream, we will eventually arrive at the source of most of our personal, interpersonal, and collective suffering/challenges on this planet.
That source is consciousness. Much can be said about it, but in summary, it's been neglected and urgently needs some major tlc (and perhaps a little thc).
My lifelong passion is to be a catalyst for personal and planetary healing through the evolution of consciousness (starting with my own), and its troublemaker offspring--thought.
In this life, I have experienced being a lost, confused, troubled soul with my own unique set of physical health and other life challenges. My unexamined consciousness and thoughts have taken me on quite the ride with many wrong turns.
Trying to correct course and find my way, I have been on an expansive personal journey of physical and emotional healing over the past 30 years--a regular meditator over the last ten years, and a seeker of truth all my life.
I remain an imperfect being with many flaws (to use polite language). I do my best to accept and embrace them all while chipping away. Awareness is the first step.
"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." --Michelangelo
Wholeheartedly committed to the path of awakening, by living life as a ceremony, I am a practitioner of the way of Kriya Yoga as taught by the lineage of Paramahansa Yogananda.
Combined with Kriya Yoga teachings, meditation, and many other sober practices (including shadow work)--the intentional, intelligent, and skillful use of plant medicines like Ayahuasca, Psilocybe Mushrooms, San Pedro, and Cannabis, have been instrumental in my journey of self-discovery and personal evolution, continuously informing and refining my path.
Cannabis is my main plant-ally. In addition to significant direct experience over many years with this sacred plant, I am in my 4th year of openly guiding group journeys.
I have extensively studied the historical and modern spiritual use of Cannabis for inner exploration and healing. I continue to learn and grow--ALWAYS remaining a student.
On the safety end, I have completed an intensive psychedelic-harm-reduction certificate program from Medicinal Mindfulness, located in Boulder, CO. I am also currently training as an Addiction, Recovery, and Psychedelic Integration coach through the Being True to You network. I intend to be certified by January, 2021.
In 2016, I started Spread the Hug, a project to reduce fear and intolerance in the world, and encourage a culture of kindness.
I am passionate about assisting this sacred and ancient plant teacher, through Highest Light--Cannabis {Santa Maria} Living Journeywork Ceremonies--bringing what I believe to be her greatest gift to the world.
