The Sanctuary Experience - Psychedelic Therapy
WITHOUT PLANTS AND FUNGI, HUMANS WOULD NOT EXIST.
OUR WAY OF LIVING IS DEPENDENT ON HOW WE CARE FOR THESE ESSENTIAL ORGANISMS THAT MAKE LIFE POSSIBLE. PLANTS AND FUNGI CLEAN OUR AIR, PROVIDE NOURISHMENT, DECOMPOSE DEBRIS, AND ARE PRETTY TO LOOK AT (IN MOST CASES).
WHEN PLANTS AND FUNGI ARE NOT BUSY CLEANING THE PLANET, OR PROVIDING THE FOOD WE EAT, THEY CAN ALSO OFFER US AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND OUR MENTAL CAPABILITIES.
THE USE OF PSYCHEDELICS IN HEALING THERAPY IS ON THE RISE, AND MORE AND MORE LOCATIONS AROUND THE GLOBE ARE LEGALIZING THE USE OF PSYCHEDELICS FOR BOTH THERAPEUTIC AND RECREATIONAL USE.
IN THIS ARTICLE, WE’LL LEARN ABOUT A SPECIAL GROUP OF PSYCHEDELIC PLANTS AND FUNGI KNOWN AS ENTHEOGENS. WE’LL ALSO HIGHLIGHT SOME GLAMPTUARYS AROUND THE WORLD WHO EMBRACE THE POWER OF NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE, AND THE GOAL OF ACHIEVING A HIGHER FORM OF EXISTENCE.
The Sanctuary Experience - Fishing
HUMANS HAVE BEEN PRACTICING THE ART OF FISHING FOR OVER 80,000 YEARS.

IT’S ESTIMATED THAT SPORT FISHING ACCOUNTS FOR OVER $48 BILLION DOLLARS SPENT ANNUALLY ON LICENSES, EQUIPMENT, FISHING TRIPS AND FISHING RELATED ITEMS (BEER NOT INCLUDED…).

The Sanctuary Experience - Winter
WINTER MEANS SOMETHING DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE ON PLANET EARTH.
FOR SOME…IT MEANS HUNKERING DOWN AND WAITING FOR WARMER DAYS.
FOR OTHERS…SNOW, DARKNESS, AND FRIGID TEMPERATURES CAN BE ENJOYABLE THINGS.
ESPECIALLY WHEN ACTIVITIES AND ACCOMMODATIONS ARE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO ENHANCE THESE OFTEN SHUNNED ELEMENTS OF NATURE.
THE GLAMPING DESTINATIONS FEATURED IN THIS ARTICLE, SET AMIDST THE COLD CLIMATES OF THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE, OFFER UP THE CHANCE TO EMBRACE THE COLD WINTER…AND MAYBE EVEN CELEBRATE IT.
SO PUT ANOTHER LOG ON THAT FIRE, BREW YOUR FAVORITE COCOA, WRAP THAT COZY BLANKET AROUND YOU, AND PREPARE TO LEARN ABOUT HOW YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THE COLD OF WINTER IN AN ENTIRELY NEW WAY.
