Most clients begin with weekly or biweekly sessions. Frequency can shift over time depending on your needs, goals, and preferences.
-
At Eleusium, all psychedelic experiences begin with a careful intake and preparation process. For clients in our psychotherapy practice, we explore your goals and assess whether a cannabis ceremony is appropriate and supportive for your healing. If you're already working with a therapist, we can offer adjunctive support, provided you complete our screening process and meet health and safety criteria.
Cannabis ceremonies are not a replacement for psychotherapy or medical treatment. We do not provide, sell, or promote cannabis; all participants are responsible for obtaining their own supply. Ceremonies are guided for harm reduction, education, and integration purposes and are only offered when clinically appropriate and ethically aligned.
What about if I’m interested in medicines other than cannabis?
Eleusium does not provide, promote, or facilitate access to any psychedelic substances. However, we take a harm reduction approach and offer preparation and integration support to individuals choosing to engage in psychedelic experiences independently.
Our role is to help you stay grounded, reduce potential risks, and make meaningful use of your experience. All support is non-judgmental, trauma-informed, and focused on safety, education, and integration.
Please note: This work is not a substitute for psychotherapy or medical care, and all clients must complete an intake to ensure it is appropriate and safe for them to participate.

Yes, when used intentionally and in the right set and setting, cannabis can produce altered states of consciousness that are introspective, visionary, and emotionally profound—similar to classic psychedelics.

A cannabis ceremony at Eleusium is a guided, intentional experience rooted in mindfulness, safety, and personal growth. You’ll begin with a preparation session to clarify your intentions and receive support in selecting a cannabis strain. During the 3- or 5-hour ceremony, you’ll be guided through breathwork, meditation, and inner journeying in a supportive environment. Afterward, we offer integration support to help you make meaning of your experience and apply insights to your life.
