A CONSCIOUS CANNABIS JOURNEY: FROM HABIT TO HARMONY

Is your relationship with Cannabis out of balance in some way?

Has your Cannabis use has become more of a routine than a conscious choice?

Do you find yourself using all the time?

Needing more and more?

Is your relationship with Cannabis causing challenges in your life?  

You're not the only one. Many will take break, and start back with the best intentions only to find the same pattern arising again and again. For others the wisest path is to quit altogether.

Cannabis is not a medicine that is black or white- there is a whole world of grey where each person has to find what works for them. 

 

I offer supportive tools and practices to help you with that process. These help you meet life with more clarity, presence, and emotional resilience—so you don’t have to turn to Cannabis out of habit or overwhelm.

As your relationship with the plant becomes more intentional, you’ll start to feel more empowered—able to choose when, how, and why you engage with her. This shift allows you to honor what truly supports your healing, growth, and connection, rather than falling into unconscious patterns. You can enjoy the plant once again for it's many positive properties that allow you to access your creativity, play and presence without depending on the medicine. 

And if you’re curious about going deeper with the Spirit of this medicine, I can help you do so—through Sacred practice and ceremony, where she is waiting for you to be ready for her guidance, to help you heal, grow, remember, and  listen to the messages of your Soul.

ABOUT ME

 

Hello, my name is Lotus McClatchie. I’m based just outside the spiritual sanctuary of Sedona, Arizona. My work is rooted in the belief that true healing begins within. I support you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom so you can meet life’s experiences with greater skill, presence, and love.

Through our work together, you’ll begin to feel more calm and grounded, expand your awareness, and gently release trauma and limiting beliefs that no longer serve you. Together, we’ll rewrite the old stories about who you’ve been told you should be—so you can discover who you truly are. This opens the path to living a more empowered, fulfilling, and aligned life. Ultimately, our journey is about healing the illusion of separation and awakening to the truth: the answers you seek already live within your own heart.

My offerings include:

  • Inner child healing

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Present-moment awareness

  • Emotional and energetic release

  • Conscious movement and breath practices

  • Heart-opening compassion work

  • Intentional and sacred living practices

  • Relationship and intimacy support

  • Artistic expression

  • Integration for plant medicine and psychedelic journeys

  • Prayer and connection to the Sacred

My Story

Like many, my healing journey began with pain. As a child, I adapted to my parents’ divorce and  conflict in the home by wearing masks, trying to become who I thought I needed to be to receive love and feel safe. Over time, this created a core belief that I wasn’t enough—that the world was not to be trusted and that it was best to repress and hide my emotions. These patterns later manifested in unhealthy relationships, divorce, financial collapse, and a chronic pain condition that left me unable to walk for two years.

But these trials became my greatest teachers. They ignited a lifelong commitment to healing, growth, and service. I bring to this work a heart full of compassion, a deep well of experience, and a devotion to walking my path with integrity, humility, and love.

My journey began with meditation, and I quickly realized it was the key to understanding myself and breaking free from the patterns of my past. Since then, I've participated in several multi-day silent retreats—both challenging and transformative experiences—that allowed me to immerse myself in ancient practices, deepen my understanding of the human condition, and gain insight into my own mind, emotions, and patterns. My love for this practice eventually led me to study at UCLA, where I became an Internationally Certified Mindfulness Teacher

 

I’ve had the privilege of participating in countless Sacred ceremonies with Master plant medicine teachers. These profound experiences have been instrumental in my healing journey and have helped me find my voice—both literally and spiritually.

I hold a deep respect and connection with the plant medicine Cannabis—a sacred ally that’s often misunderstood, overlooked, and used without intention. When consumed unconsciously, it can create imbalance in people’s lives. But when approached with reverence, Cannabis becomes a gateway to healing, insight, and awakening. I’m honored to serve as a guide in the Conscious Cannabis movement, helping others find harmony in their relationship with this medicine—and with life itself.

As a Transformational Retreat Facilitator, I co-lead deeply transformative healing experiences both in the U.S. and internationally. In partnership with my Soul sister, Jenna Israel, and The Sanctuary at Sedona, we create Sacred spaces that guide participants—many of whom are in recovery and building a new life after addiction—on profound journeys of healing, embodiment, and awakening. Our retreats are open to anyone seeking deep transformation and are intentionally designed to provide a space for healing, growth, and renewal. We host only two to three exclusive retreats each year, offering a truly unparalleled experience. Learn more at www.sanctuarybridgetransformations.com.

I’m also a Certified Awaken Breathwork Facilitator, lifelong yogi, and passionate advocate for the healing power of movement, nature, and the breath. I’ve spent years hiking, biking, climbing, and rafting through the wild landscapes of the Southwest, finding deep connection and healing in the arms of Mother Earth.

Spiritually, I am a devoted student of A Course in Miracles and The Sophia Code, and a guest teacher with the Flagstaff Insight Meditation Community.  I am a guest teacher with the Flagstaff Insight Meditation Community - listen to my talks at Dharma Seed.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Northern Arizona University and was a Licensed Professional Counselor from 2011 to 2024. My training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Studies, and Family Systems work. After more than 25 years in the helping professions, I came to a turning point.

While I’m deeply grateful for my education and clinical experience, I chose to let go of my license in 2024 so I could step fully out of the Western medical model—which often views people as problems to be diagnosed and fixed. What I’ve come to understand is that our symptoms and suffering are not signs that something is wrong with us—they are sacred calls for love, understanding, and compassion.

Letting go of my license was an intentional act of alignment—so I could serve from a place of deeper truth, embracing a more holistic, Soul-centered, and heart-led path to healing.

Lastly, I am devoted to walking the Bodhisattva path—a life rooted in integrity and peace, dedicated to offering the highest service to all beings in this lifetime and beyond

Healing through Compassion class: next class to be announced

In this time where many people feel like the earth is upside down and shaking, changing rapidly in ways that feel overwhelming and difficult to understand, it can be quite helpful to have tools available to help us cope, regulate our nervous systems and feel more peaceful.

If you find yourself more reactive and less able to feel calm, or are just curious to learn more about compassion practices, this class may be a good fit for you. You will learn and have an opportunity to practice a series of compassion and self regulation tools that can benefit your overall health and well being, improve relationships and provide an alternative lens for viewing the events of the world with a fresh perspective.

Previous meditation experience encouraged but not required.
