A Workshop in Integration Journeywork
May 17 - 20 at the
Magical Eaglenest Sanctuary near Victoria, B.C.
​
You are invited to attend this special workshop in Integration Journeywork, which will use the process of THC Internalized -
sessions with eyeshades, headphones and evocative music, as well as energy-releasing bodywork when requested. People
can also choose to do deep breathing with the headphones and music instead of THC (which we call Integration Breathwork).
Participants choose a partner, and one person will do a session on Saturday with the other “sitting,” and then
on Sunday they will switch places. There will also be a high ratio of facilitators who will provide support to everyone.
​
May 17 (Fri 6:30 pm for dinner) - May 20 (Mon 11 am)
$595 Cdn for shared dorm-style accommodation and healthy meals
$525 early bird rate until May 1st
(maximum fourteen participants - seven journeyers per session)
*Fees are 50% refundable until April 15
​
Master practitioner James Cunningham will also be onsite offering sessions in massage and bodywork.

​
With the widespread, favorable coverage of CBD oil, it is surprising how little attention has been given to the responsible
use of THC in deep emotional work. Using cannabis with an internalized set or intention can provide unusually strong
experiences - for many people, even more so than with MDMA. It is also an ideal training for professionals interested in
working with more powerful catalysts in the future. Cannabis is currently the most powerful, legal catalyst to
self-exploration in the Western world (Canada). We invite therapists who want a broad, hands-on training for their own
upcoming work in this developing field.
​
The workshop will include presentations on Grof's expanded cartography of the human unconscious, on how to support
clients' own inner self-healing intelligence, and on how to use archetypal astrology to support the spiritual quest. Journeyers
will have full permission and unconditional support to experience any material that emerges from their psyches. This
modality combines the maximum benefits and minimized risks of using eyeshades and headphones, with the community-
building, bonding, and inspiring elements of a group workshop. The format will allow plenty of time for optimal integration,
with opportunities to walk in nature, swim, soak, sit around the fire, share our experience in group circles, and say hello to the
Alpacas. The Eaglenest Sanctuary is bordered by the clear and vibrant Koksilah River, with a large deck and a famous
walking/biking trail adjacent to the property. http://eaglenestsanctuary.com/
​
We will follow careful medical and psychological screening procedures for all participants. To ensure full effect, we also
recommend that people refrain from ingesting THC or other psychedelics for at least a week prior to the workshop.
