About this Event
Kanna Comforts Melbourne is an in-person gathering for the local community to explore the use of Kanna in a heart opening space filled with opportunities of social connections in a calm, cozy setting.
What to expect
Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) is a natural plant ally known to gently ease anxiety, support mood regulation and relaxation, and enhance social connection. It is also associated with improved focus, stress management, pain relief and gentle states of spiritual exploration.
Each session offers a unique experience guided by a rotating collective of healing practitioners. Your level of participation is entirely your choice. The experience may include:
- Music and guided meditation
- Breathwork
- Gentle touch and energy healing
- Vocal toning and tuning forks
- Heart-centered connection in a calm, restorative atmosphere
Come alone, with friends or family, or as a couple. Create your own “nesting” space and choose what feels natural and supportive: meditate, receive nourishing touch, draw or journal, or work through blocks. Afterwards, a warm, nourishing meal and herbal teas will be served.
Please bring
- Mattress and bedding (please don’t bring an air mattress; a yoga mat may be insufficient).
