PREPARING FOR PLANT MEDICINE

Shortly after a life-changing traumatic brain injury in early 2020, Lumi was called the shamanic paths of Shipibo curanderismo, Ayahuasca, Chinese energetic medicine and Qigong.   

As a student of these two ancient lineages and nature, she is dedicated to helping us all find the healer within.   At the Convergence Retreat, Lumi will be teaching preparation & integration for Ayahuasca plant medicine ceremonies with a focus on harm reduction and conscious consumption. 

SYOGA

After finding yoga to heal the pains and aches of doing bodywork for so long, her attention quickly shifted wanting to learn more about releasing holding patterns in the body within yoga poses and breathwork. Then once figuring out that cannabis enhanced yoga was not only capable but beneficial, there was no turning back on the love for creating classes for those who want to join in on the experience of elevated awareness. 

So became Syoga.
