Introducing Our Weekly Kits Beach Meetups
Every Thursday during the summer, we gather as a community at Kits Beach and invite local facilitators to join us in offering unique workshops with a different theme each week. Through these events, we seek to offer transformation, connection and peak experiences all while providing a container to connect with other like-minded people in the community and enjoy some food together.
For these events, you can expect everything from yoga and movement workshops to sound healing and introductory psychedelic exploration. We hope to provide a rich diversity of offerings all summer long!
Please register below if you would like to attend the facilitated portion of the event from 7:00-8:30pm. We meet on the grass area near Kitsilano Showboat (just behind Kitsilano Pool) and these events are weather dependent, so if it rains, we will postpone.
About This Week’s Meetup: 4-ACO Psilacetin Breathwork
This week we are hosting another special Psilacetin (4-ACO DMT) Breathwork Ceremony facilitated by Kaan. The breathwork will be a gentle experience weaving storytelling, meditation and rhythm to create a safe container for you to explore the deep wisdom that your body has within it. For those that would like an additional flare to their experience, there will be microdoses of psilacetin available.
What is Psilacetin (or 4-ACO DMT)?
4-ACO-DMT is safe and legal compound that induces effects closely resembling those of the classical psychedelic, psilocybin (AKA Magic Mushrooms). Upon ingestion, 4-ACO-DMT metabolizes into Psilocin in the body, producing effects that can last for up to 7 hours. Numerous reports have favored 4-ACO-DMT, citing its euphoric, gentle, warm, and colorful effects. It is also less likely to cause nausea due to its lower material consumption. 4-ACO is an unregulated substance in Canada.
The dose that will be available will be 2mg and it is completely optional. You can take it before the breathwork, or take it home to enjoy another time. The breathwork will be an experience in of itself and the psilacetin is there to heighten the experience if desired. Neurodose products will be available which you can also purchase yourself here using this link. If you would like to learn more about psilacetin, please visit this link.
About This Week’s Facilitator:
Kaan Akkaya
Kaan was born in Turkey and lived in the UAE for 10 years before moving to Vancouver. His spiritual journey began in his late teens when he started practicing yoga, meditation and participating in plant medicine ceremonies. Kaan explores altered states of consciousness in a mindful manner and advocates for respect and reverance for the medicines. He has always loved movement; having trained in gymnastics since the age of 5, to playing competitive sports and practicing calisthenics, he puts a large emphasis on movement as it relates to breath and trauma stored in the body. Kaan has his 200 hour YTT and completed the Trauma Informed Somatic Breathwork Course by Tim Morrison. In his approach, he has been inspired by John Sutherland's Adaptive Bodywork and his teachings on active pain relief and human structural integration. Kaan's main aim is to explore the connection between mindful movement, the breath and trauma in conscious settings.
