Enjoy the beautiful landscape of Muriwai with a beach and forest walk and views of the sea. Learn about the Indigenous history of cacao, cannabis, and mushrooms and how these stories may relate to your own roots.
Join the cacao ceremony and be guided through practices to drop into your body and mind. Share a plant-based catered meal. Leave the day with your own ceremonial plant medicine bundle so you can craft your own ritual at home. ❤️
This is not a psychedelic experience - however, we’ll prepare the body and mind to attune to journey within. You may feel the subtle effects of these (legal) plant medicines guiding you to being more in the flow of life.
Check out some of the amazing plant medicines we'll be experiencing from:

/// Tiger Drops /// Hemp Oil
Here's a short excerpt from the Tiger Drop website:
Our world needs to change.
Let's change it.
In 2016 a High School History teacher called Tadhg Stopford co-founded the Hemp Foundation with a GP friend, and began educating kiwis about Hemps divine nature.
Because I had learned that Cannabinoids exist in all mammals, in many food plants; and were vital.
In 2017 we created NZ's first RNZCGP approved Hemp Medicine course for GPs.
In 2019, I learned that not only was Hemp/Cannabis Sativa/Kaneh Bosem an essential part of Moses Holy Oil; from 1500BC. But an essential strategic resource for much of humanity’s history. Hemp is a veritable tree of life.
In June 2020 I launched www.Tigerdrops.com / www.tigerdrops.co.nz; and in November 2020, the world's first High School biology unit on the human Cannabinoid system at SciCon 2020.
You can learn more about Tiger Drops and what they do from their website here.
/// Wildcrafted Apothecary /// Blue Lotus
Wildcrafted Apothecary is a multidimensional plant medicine woman and galactic starseed, specialising in embodied trauma release.
My heart led, individualised sessions gently awaken the connection between the mind, body and soul: the true essence of being.
