Dreaming with Blue Lotus

about this event

 Join us to dream with Blue Lotus: worlding in the unconscious mind under the light of the full moon Friday, June 21st from 7:15pm-9:15pm at our Venice Apothecary.

Artist, herbalist, and plant dreamer, Paige Emery will be guiding a tea ceremony and hypnotic induction with sound to connect and journey with with Blue Lotus for guidance and renewal towards a greater ecological consciousness. 

Blue Lotus is a plant revered throughout the ages for connecting one to one’s intuition, higher consciousness, and unconscious mind. This is the liminal realm in which our hypnosis journey will venture.  Hypnosis is a practice to commune with the deep levels beneath conscious awareness.  The hypnosis journey is a type of internal worlding that seeps into the way we exist in the world. A renewal from the deep, watery submersion of the mind, just like the conscious blossoming of the Lotus flower from murky waters.

  • Comfy attire
  • Yoga mat
  • Blanket and pillow
  • Journal and pen 
  • Open heart

  Note:

  • We will have limited blankets for use. 
  • Also, dress in layers and bring a jacket in case it gets chilly.
  • Refunds will only be issued 24 hours or more prior to the event.
