A master in nervous system mediation, Sceletium is rapidly gaining popularity in South Africa and worldwide. But despite the increasing pharmacological benefits of the Sceletium tortuosum plant, there is a great need for us modern humans to reacquaint ourselves with this ancient, sacred plant on a metaphysical level, and learn from the eternal wisdom that it offers.
Known as Kanna, Channa, or Kougoed (chewing stuff), it is indigenous to the Karoo region of South Africa, and has been used in traditional fermented form by the Nama, San and Khoikhoi peoples for millennia. Once nicknamed Bushman’s ecstasy, this sacred plant has a profound effect on regulating the nervous system for mood enhancement, and is also used as an appetite suppressant, trance dance facilitator, dream herb, and psychoactive (not psychedelic).
In this weekend immersion, Saskia and Olivia will guide you through a series of experiential activities to meet Sceletium, working together with the plant physically through an elixir (for those who can and wish to) and in essence form (an infusion of the plant's vibration, which won’t interfere with pharmaceutical anti-depressants).
Interweaving with Olivia’s conscious breathwork and nervous system regulation guidance, Saskia will facilitate you in a journey to meet and be with the eternal spirit of Sceletium, to learn directly from this wise being, as well as guide somatic practices, to move with the plants and integrate their teachings in your nervous system.
Each participant will go home with a bottle of Sceletium essence, to continue working with their teachings in daily life, both personal and professional. An online follow-up call one month after the immersion will allow for sharing, questions and further integration.
Let this be a nourishing immersion with Sceletium, to regenerate your nervous system, so that you can root in resonance with Nature.
