Facilitated by Chris Dub & Marda Sperber [FULL DETAILS HERE](https://mailchi.mp/soulguidednetwork/january-march-mushroom-ceremony-18162258?) This ceremony will support you to nurture and strengthen the new pathways you are choosing to take mentally, physically and spiritually to ensure you are a living a life that feels in rhythm with your body and soul. Receive the support you need to let go of the pain, hurt, sense of unworthiness & not enoughness, as well as the struggle we can all feel victim to at times. Immerse yourself into a space of love, forgiveness, and compassion, unlearning the ways you've been taught to judge your *very* human emotions and thoughts. ***You deserve to feel the love and support that's all around you, so you can bring forward the gifts and purpose you came here to share.*** The mind can be sticky, but when you experience genuine love it clarifies any confusion of who you truly are. ***This ceremony is an opportunity for just that: to open up to the authentic love that is innate within you, which opens up your heart, and helps you gain control of the mind.*** ### **Energies that could potentially arise in ceremony** **Shamanic medicine ceremonies may open access to a wide range of emotional, somatic, energetic, and spiritual experiences. Each journey is unique, and all expressions are welcomed within a container of safety, consent, and compassionate presence.** **Energies that may arise:** * Emotional release such as grief, joy, anger, relief, or deep peace * Memories or imprints from early life, ancestral lineages, or collective experiences * Somatic sensations including trembling, heat, cold, expansion, or energy moving through the body * Kundalini life-force activation, energetic attunements, and realignment * Encounters with inner archetypes, sacred geometry, spirit guides, animal allies, or symbolic imagery * Awareness of repetitive patterns or subconscious conditioning * Messages from past loved ones or benevolent guiding energies * States of expanded awareness, unity, stillness, or heightened intuition * Heart opening, deep surrender, electromagnetic field expansion, and embodied presence *All energies arise only as each participant is ready to meet them and are supported within a regulated, grounded, and loving field.* **Truly forgive yourself, learning to love the darker aspects that are rising to be seen and witnessed.** Cultivate a deeper love for the past versions of you, as well as others who have negatively impacted you. Gratitude is the open door to freedom, and ***when you recognize the gifts of the lessons life has given you - it becomes easier to let go of the anger, resentment, and regret***. As you unravel what has been tight within you, there is a natural alchemy that takes place within the body. Energy blocks and stagnation are unfurled, allowing you to open to more love, and the flow of vital life force energy. ***You will feel a loving space to heal and process through old traumas, ancestral karma, and become more astutely aware of ego identification, leading to more freedom, peace, and simplicity.*** **Release negative thought patterns, rewiring your nervous system for peace, harmony, and balance.** Be held in safe space so you can look at the negative thoughts and limiting beliefs that hold you back from feeling your freest, clearest, most alive and fully expressed self. Regulate your system through the awareness of breath, body (all levels - mental, emotional, physical & energetic), your 5 senses, and extrasensory perceptions. ***As you re-balance and re-align your system you will be able to see your internal experience more clearly, and also recognize why other people are the way they are, allowing you to have more compassion and forgiveness both for others and yourself.*** The more ***aware*** you are, the better ***regulated*** you are, and from that space you can become the master of your domain. You deserve the space and time to simply be, rest, rejuvenate, and feel the aliveness of living life moment by moment for YOU! **You are fully supported throughout the entire journey.** This ceremony includes the optional combination of pure MDMA along with the psilocybin mushrooms. We have found these medicines work very synergistically together, and offer an amplified level of heart opening. The pure MDMA is optional, and the dosing for both medicines will be based upon your intentions, disposition, prior experience, and current state at the time of the ceremony. After this ceremony you will feel more love for yourself and others, with a heightened sense of courage, strength, and integrity. ***You will want to make better choices, and also have the self-awareness needed to stay accountable to yourself.*** This level of love and clarity will emanate out to reach and impact all those closest to you. | **This is an invitation to open up your heart, and love and forgive yourself through unconditional acceptance. To awaken to your divinity and beauty, and access your greatest gifts of self-healing and conscious creatorship.** | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | | | Ceremony Preparation & Integration Prior to the ceremony you will receive an in-depth **plant medicine workbook** to help you prepare, questions to ask yourself and a recommended diet to support your experience. We will meet as a group before the ceremony for an **Intention Setting Call**, to connect with each other and share our intentions for the journey. You will also receive a **nervous system regulating practice** that supports in expanding internal awareness, grounding, centering and overall mindfulness. Following the Ceremony we will have an **Integration Call** to support and hold space for continued breakthroughs, challenges and dream weaving.

### 🌑 Kundalini Activation & Sound Bath — Full Moon Ceremony Step into a powerful evening of **reset, remembrance, and realignment**. This Full Moon Ceremony weaves together **Kundalini Activation** and **Sound Bath Healing**—two deeply transformative practices that work in harmony to clear stagnant energy, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect you with your true essence. The **Full Moon** is a natural portal for slowing down, turning inward, and planting intentional seeds for what you’re ready to call in next. Supported by the grounding energy of **Virgo**, this experience invites clarity, presence, and embodied alignment. #### ✨ What to Expect * **Kundalini Activation** Gently awakens your life force energy, helping release emotional and energetic blockages while opening intuitive awareness. This is not forced movement or breathwork—your body moves only as it needs to. * **Sound Bath Healing** Crystal bowls, gongs, and sacred instruments create vibrational frequencies that calm the mind, soothe the nervous system, and support deep integration of the energetic work. * #### 🌿 Benefits of This Experience * Energetic cleansing and renewal * Emotional release and inner stillness * Heightened awareness and intuitive clarity * Deep nervous system regulation * Realignment with your path and intentions This ceremony is for you if you’re seeking **clarity, healing, grounding, or a deeper connection to yourself**—or if you simply feel called to pause and reset under the New Moon. No prior experience is needed. Just come as you are. ✨ **Leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected—ready to step into your next chapter.** Booking Link: [https://www.qalb.ca/current-workshops](https://www.qalb.ca/current-workshops)
