CONSCIOUS CANNABIS SOMATIC THERAPY GROUP
The Conscious Cannabis Somatic Therapy Group is an ongoing therapeutic community for adults 25+ in Oregon and California where we explore an intentional relationship with cannabis through mindful practice, embodied inquiry, and shared experiences of healing, self-discovery, and personal growth.
In just 10 years, our cultural relationship with cannabis has changed dramatically. After decades of prohibition and stigma, cannabis is now widely available. Dispensaries are a part of the neighborhood landscape throughout Oregon and California, and a booming for-profit cannabis industry offers an ever-expanding variety of products promising relaxation, creativity, relief, and more.
The era of prohibition is being replaced by one of commercialization—yet neither framework can teach us how to relate to cannabis with awareness, intention, and care.
Perhaps you’ve experienced moments when something shifts after connecting with cannabis. A tension softens, a feeling becomes easier to name, or you discover a new perspective on an old problem. What if we approached these experiences with greater intention and curiosity toward what this plant can teach us about ourselves?

ABOUT GROUP MEMBERSHIP
The Conscious Cannabis Somatic Therapy Group is an ongoing therapeutic community offering periodic therapist-guided cannabis journeys, integration sessions, or other community events open to anyone who has completed an Individual Intake and Screening Session with Kip and remains in good standing with the group. You have the option to participate in individual events as they become available, returning whenever you feel drawn to explore further.
This group is not a substitute for mental health or substance use treatment. The scope of this group is limited to exploring a mindful, embodied, and intentional relationship with cannabis. We encourage group participants to be engaged in ongoing work with an individual therapist.
-
This group is for adults 25+ in Oregon or California who already use cannabis and want to explore a mindful, embodied, and intentional way of working with the plant.
This group may be a good fit if:
you already use cannabis,
feel curious about how you’re relating to it,
and would enjoy connecting with others who are on a path of intention and healing.
This group may not be a good fit if:
you are primarily seeking treatment for cannabis use disorder or support with stopping cannabis use,
have certain medical or psychiatric conditions that could make participation unsafe,
or are currently experiencing significant psychological instability or distress that would be better supported through individualized care.
-
There is a fee for the Individual Intake and Screening Session with Kip, followed by a separate fee for each group session you choose to attend.
We offer a trust-based sliding scale to help make participation more accessible. We invite you to choose the rate that best reflects your financial circumstances.
SLIDING SCALE TIERS
Standard Rate: For those who can afford the full fee.
Supported Rate: For those for whom the full fee would create a financial strain.
Community Access Rate: A limited number of spots will be made available for those experiencing significant financial constraints. Please inquire about availability.
If even the lowest fee is inaccessible, please reach out. We’d be happy to explore what’s possible.

A Group Journey is an immersive, 3–5 hour session of Conscious Cannabis-Assisted Somatic Group Therapy, integrating the intentional use of cannabis with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and relational exploration.
In a supportive, professionally facilitated online setting, participants may choose to use cannabis in their own private spaces while being guided through intention setting, trauma-sensitive mindfulness and somatic practices, music, and periods of quiet inner exploration.
Each person's journey is unique, with opportunities for personal reflection and optional group sharing to deepen self-understanding, support healing, and integrate insights into everyday life.
Cannabis use is entirely optional. You're welcome to participate in the guided meditations and shared journey with nothing more than your own breath and mindful presence!
-
Group Integration Sessions offer a supportive space for reflection, self-discovery, and connection within the Conscious Cannabis Somatic Therapy Group. Integration can take many forms, and you don't need to have attended a guided journey to participate.
In addition to personal reflection and optional group sharing, sessions may include trauma-sensitive mindfulness and somatic practices. Some sessions may also explore specific themes related to cultivating a mindful, embodied, and intentional relationship with cannabis.
-
Group journey sessions are not covered by insurance, and out-of-network reimbursement is not available.
However, if you meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis, we may be able to provide a superbill for your Individual Intake and Screening Session or any Group Integration Sessions you attend. You may be able to submit this to your insurance provider for possible out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan's benefits.
Reimbursement is not guaranteed, so we encourage you to check with your insurance provider in advance.

ABOUT THE FACILITATORS
Kip Williams, Ph.D. (he/they)
Group Therapist and Clinical Lead
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Oregon (#T1723) and California (#93170)
Kip is a queer eco-somatic therapist and community activist based in Portland, OR. Their areas of focus include complex trauma, complicated grief, LGBTQ+ issues, family estrangement, and activist burnout.
Lani Lee, MA (she/her)
Co-Facilitator and Clinical Support
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California (#51375)
Lani is a neuroqueer somatic therapist in Santa Rosa, CA. Her areas of focus include healing professionals, post-traumatic growth, cultivating resilience, and rewiring sovereignty through radical embodiment.
In addition to being licensed psychotherapists, Lani and Kip are both credentialed Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Therapists through the Medicinal Mindfulness Psychedelic Therapy Training Program, with specialized training in Cannabis-Assisted Psychedelic Therapy. We share a foundation in somatic, relational, and transpersonal therapeutic orientations. As stewards of cannabis-assisted healing within the scope of our professional license, our unique approach blends traditional plant medicine wisdom with the ethics and trauma-informed care of modern clinical practice.
We believe that healing happens in relationships where people feel seen, respected, and safe enough to be authentic. As two anti-racist white therapists, we recognize that access to healing has not been equitable, and that the history of cannabis in the United States is deeply intertwined with racism, stigma, and criminalization. We are committed to creating an inclusive, trauma-informed, and liberatory space where diverse identities are welcomed, and where everyone is invited to explore their lived experience with curiosity, dignity, and respect.
