Cooking with Cannabis Introduction Class
2022-12-10 10:30 - 11:30, 2023-01-07 10:30 - 11:30 UTC
Blend the magic of cannabis with the craft of cooking in this introductory class that will teach you the basics of cooking with cannabis. Held in our demo kitchen, we will show you how to make infused butter and oil to give you the building blocks to include hemp in your dishes!

Decarb & Infuse

Decarboxylation, or decarb for short, is the process of altering the chemical makeup of cannabis to create a potent formula for edibles, oils, and salves. During this class, you’ll learn the decarboxylation process so you can infuse your medical marijuana or hemp flower into foods.

Dosing Edibles

Unless you invest in an at-home THC tester, there’s no way to know exactly how potent your infusion is. You can, however, do a calculation to get a rough estimate of potency. During this session, we’ll go over the process of dosing edibles to ensure safe consumption.*

About the InstructorAs a chronic pain sufferer, related to spine issues and migraines, Heather Kreider a Registered Nurse, knows first-hand how cannabis can help patients live a happier, healthier life. She is an Medical Marijuana card holder in PA, cannabis advocate and strives to break the stigma that cannabis users are “a bunch of burnouts.” Heather is also certified in Advanced Cannabis Training and is PA Dispensary Agent Certified.
Heather also helps patients navigate the process of obtaining a medical marijuana card, working with dispensaries, and determining the medical marijuana formulations and application methods that will best target the symptoms they’re experiencing. Her goal is to alleviate the gap in patient education by helping individuals understand the different types of cannabinoids, terpenes, and ways to consume medical marijuana. She also helps guide patients in how to safely administer the products they purchase.

Wellness Through Art: Coping with PTSD
2022-12-10 13:00 - 14:30 (America/New_York)
Post-traumatic stress disorder affects a wide demographic. We hold a soft spot for veterans, abuse survivors, and all those who have served – even if you don’t consider yourself a vet because you never saw combat.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after a frightening, distressing event, or after a prolonged traumatic experience, which is categorized as complex PTSD, or CPTSD.
Types of events that can lead to PTSD include:

serious accidents
physical or sexual assault
abuse, including childhood or domestic abuse
exposure to traumatic events at work, including remote exposure
serious health problems, such as being admitted to intensive care
childbirth experiences, such as losing a baby
the death of someone close to you
war and conflict
torture

PTSD develops in about 1 in 3 people who experience severe trauma, and those who have depression and/or anxiety without much family support are more likely to develop PTSD after a distressing event.
People with PTSD continue to produce high amounts of fight or flight hormones, even when there’s no danger.
We are here to help those feeling distressed, anxious, and alone find a sense of community and emotional release through artistic mediums.
Designed to improve motor functions, foster self-esteem, build emotional resilience, and enhance social skills, Art Therapists work with people seeking emotional, creative, and spiritual growth.

Calling all beginner artists and seasoned painters: Channel your creative fire with a little help from your friends and a sparked-up pre-roll!
We encourage you to bring an open mind, as Heather Hostetter guides us through the creative process of transferring ideas from your imagination to a canvas you can take home and proudly display.

TRANCE SONICS - The Merging of Hypnotherapy and Sound Healing Workshop
2023-01-22 09:30 - 16:30 (America/New_York)
TRANCE SONICS – The Merging of Hypnotherapy and Sound Healing Workshop
Workshop Date: January 22, 2022
Workshop Time: 9:30am-4:30pm (hour lunch break)
WORKSHOP FEE: $150 PER PERSON
This one day intensive will introduce participants to concepts and practices using sound and music for meditative, centering, and healing purposes. Viewing through a double lens, we will also learn about the nature of trance or hypnosis, and explore some underlying approaches related to the induction and use of trance. Historically, hypnotherapy has employed primarily spoken language to induce trance and suggest change. Here, we will be focusing primarily on non-verbal inductions, but also addressing how to enhance sound healing practices with elegant linguistic patterns.
Traditional healers of all cultures have used vibrations – specifically the audible vibrations of sound and music, to induce and enhance states of healing, vision and creativity. We will be addressing two questions: How can today’s healers and therapists better utilize music and sound healing practices; and how can those who are following the path of sound healing learn to incorporate spoken “hypnotic” language and an understanding of the “structure” of trancing, into their existing practice?
WHAT PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN: Singing bowls, tingshas and gongs to create fractal healing immersion field • Tuning fork protocols for entrainment • Hypnotic and NLP language patterns (reframing, the specificity model, embedded suggestions, etc.) • Shamanic journeying w/ drum and rattle • Vowel sounds and energy centers in the body • “Magical” Overtone singing and Sino-cranial vibration • Entrainment (The “Frequency Following Effect”)
INSTRUCTOR BIO: Peter Blum, a multi-instrumentalist, creates a unique meditational environment using large gongs, bells, cymbals, tuning forks, and his collection of over 40 Himalayan singing bowls.
