Dark spaces has 4 different experiences, each one serving a different healing tool or modality for your healing.  Each experience is profound in itself and should be approached as a practice, rather than a one time affair.  With healing, it is with the building of the relationship to our chosen practices that allows for expansion and raise in conscious awareness to occur.

 

Here is the menu:

 

OSHO Dynamic Meditation 

This hour long meditation is not your typical meditation, expect to feel like you got a workout in and dress accordingly. You will be guided every step of the way through this 4 part dynamic meditation that moves through different expressions and practices for release, including a portion of communal rage expression. There is an introduction part that helps activate your throat and body before moving into the anger and rage portion.  Afterwards, you are guided through two more phases that are designed to help regulate your nervous system, reducing chances for re-traumatization for those that have had a negative history with this human emotion. 

 

Blindfolds are mandatory for this experience. Blindfolded within community promotes an inwards experience while being within the group.

 

Expect to feel alive, free and light afterwards. This offering can bring on a big cathartic release.

​

Holotropic Breathwork

A beautiful practice, one that we do at Bliss to prepare for our plant medicine ceremony. This dynamic breathing is a powerful self healing tool that can excavate deep emotions and stuck energies.  This practice will allow you to feel grounded in your own body, call your power back fully and release whatever is getting in the way of you showing up in full love and acceptance.

​

Another practice that offers a cathartic release.  Holotropic breathwork also has the ability to invoke psychedelic experiences. If we have never done this practice with Jas you will receive a prescreening form after you sign up to make sure it is safe for you.

​

Expect that each breathwork session you do will be different and come with a curious mind.

​

Shadow Work

In this session you will dive into your shadow self, all the parts of you that your ego wants to deny or forget in order to fit in or to be loved.

 

During our time together we will have a brief discussion of what the shadow is and how we hide from it, with the opportunity to ask questions and self reflect. You will be guided through an activity that allows you to embody your shadow and figure out what parts of it you are still resisting with intention of softening those parts. The activities chosen for this experience will always be different, with the theme of the shadow always obvious.

 

To finish our time together, you will be guided into yourself to meet your shadow self and to see, feel or hear any messages your shadow has for you. The guided visualization will also vary each time.

 

We will finished the same way we finish every dark spaces, with a sharing circle to hear and see each brave soul who showed up.

​

Non-Psychedelic Plant Medicine

I will be joined by the masculine in this dark spaces experience. My partner Michael will assist me in serving you the non-psychedelic plant medicine in this experience.

 

First you will be served Sananga, a scared medicine from the Amazon, and offered a meditation to connect you to the earth below and the sky above. Second, my partner Michael will serve you Hapeh, another sacred medicine from the Amazon. Michael has been working closely with this medicine in his own practice and I am so excited for him to join me for this special dark spaces.

 

Both these medicines offer you a practice with discomfort. They are not easeful. But afterward it is very common to feel a sense of ease, a grounded-ness in oneself. The medinces we will serve you have been gifted to us or purchased from Four Vision Market, who do an incredible job at honouing and compensating the Indigenous communities where these medicines are source.
