About Sponsor:
Kanna Gaden
This event is in partnership with **Kanna Garden** who will be supporting this event by offering kanna, a gentle heart opening medicine.
Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) is a succulent plant native to South Africa, traditionally used by Indigenous Khoisan peoples for centuries in ritual, connection, and emotional centering. Known as a heart-opening ally, kanna was often chewed, brewed, or smoked to support states of calm, presence, and communal harmony—especially after long hunts or in ceremonial gatherings.
Kanna is sometimes regarded as "nature's MDMA" because of how similar it is to other psychedelic empathogens in regards to it's euphoric effects. The key difference is that kanna is natural, gentle, fully legal and not a psychedelic.
