Ellementa CA Central Valley: Kids & Cannabis

THIS MONTH’S TOPIC: Kids & Cannabis We, as women, are at the “Epicenter of Care” meaning we are often caring for children, our partners, aging parents, even our circle of friends. How can we integrate cannabis and CBD safely and responsibly into not just our own lives but into our households? How do we care for our children when their health needs warrant looking at alternative medicines and solutions and cannabis fits the bill? Meet a mom with a child with an autoimmune disorder and a mom with a child with autism and learn how they are treating their children with positive results. Hear from a canna consultant with years of experience. Someday, cannabis and CBD will be every day medicine kept in our medicine cabinets at home like other natural remedies and dispensed mindfully for health and wellness benefits. Women will be at the forefront of normalizing cannabis and CBD for wellbeing. Join the Conversation! ********* Ellementa meets monthly to bring women together to learn about cannabis for health, wellness, self-care and caregiving. This is a non-consumption, educational event for women/female-identified only. We create welcoming spaces where women can come together to speak openly about cannabis wellness. GUEST EXPERTS…. Carol Couchman Carol Couchman is a studying herbalist. Her personal experiences with cannabis led her to become an activist to promote the use of this wonderful plant, along with other plants and herbs, to bring us back to a healthy state of being. Education is a critical part of bringing the healing and health building qualities of cannabis to the public. As the COO of Peace Of Mind, Carol is committed to offering high quality cannabis products to those who are starting their journey to improve their quality of life. Kay Lara Kay Lara’s journey with cannabis began in 2016 after she heard the story of a man who leveraged cannabis for treatment with Autism for his son. After completing extensive research, she began self administering CBD oil to her son. She was amazed at the positive impact the CBD oil had not only on his digestion but also with his speech and language. She observed that after taking a dose, he seemed to be more focused and calm. One cannot imagine the joy she felt watching her child flourish. From this experience, she became a cannabis advocate. Recognizing the feeling of peace she experienced from cannabis and creating art, Bam Buddha Lounge was born. The perfect environment for cannabis and art enthusiasts to unwind. They offer instructor led art classes for adults and children. ~Habitually Zenful~ Michelle Patino Michelle has been teaching private and group yoga classes, along with meditation, since 2015. She first realized her passion for yoga while taking classes at a local gym in 2008. Her appreciation for the strengthening, yet calming results of the practice drew her to learn more. Shortly after beginning her journey with yoga, Michelle chose to enroll at Modesto Junior College, eventually graduating with honors, earning an Associate of Science Degree in Athletic Training / Sports Medicine. In 2015 she earned her 200-hour certification (RYT-200) from the Art of Yoga teacher-training program at Village Yoga Center in Modesto, CA. Her introduction to yoga was rooted in the detailed style of Iyengar, yet has evolved to include a style abound in yin, restoration, gentle flow, and mindfulness. In her classes, Michelle uses the incorporation of several styles and methods of yoga, as well as mindful breathing and meditative concentration to guide her students on their own personal journey to inner peace and greater overall wellness. What Michelle loves most about teaching yoga is allowing those with fear to embrace their own personal journey to inner peace and harmony among body, mind, and spirit.
