Join 'Train with Sensei' at the Ape's Clubhouse-a dedicated mind, body, and spirit gym-for a truly distinctive event that merges the holistic benefits of cannabis with physical and mental relaxation techniques. Located in the heart of Detroit, this event promises to be an immersive experience for all attendees.
Ape's Clubhouse (Mind, Body, Spirit Gym)
Inside the Art building at Russell Industrial Center
1610 Clay Street, Suite 204
Detroit, MI 48211
Tickets available for $20 each on the Eventbrite page.
Designed as a sanctuary from the chaos of everyday life, Ape's Clubhouse is not just another space-it's an oasis. Participants have previously reported feelings of rejuvenation, relief from long-standing tension, enhanced clarity, and even alleviation of pain.
The session will kick off with an enlightening conversation about our psychological connection to the cannabis plant. Following this, participants will be guided through a series of self-stretches led by the renowned instructor, Sensei. Each attendee will also have the unique opportunity to experience an individual stretching session with Sensei.
But the experience doesn't stop there. After the stretching, attendees are encouraged to meditate and focus on the beauty and gift of life, aided by controlled breathing techniques. Ensuring a wholesome experience, your aura will be purified with Palo Santo to ward off negative energies. Furthermore, 'Breathe Again' essential oil will be used, which is known to enhance oxygen flow, alleviate mucus, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.
Remember, daily stretching is paramount for our overall health, improving circulation, and ensuring the adequate delivery of oxygen throughout the body. This lack of oxygen can lead to a plethora of issues, including inflammation, tissue damage, emotional disturbances, low immunity, and mobility issues. Let Sensei's signature stretches guide you back to a state of equilibrium.
To make the most of this transformative evening:
Embark on this journey of physical and spiritual revitalization with us. Please bring along positive energy, and stay assured, everyone else will reciprocate. We look forward to seeing you there. Blessings!

Step into the evolving world of the cannabis industry in Detroit and discover opportunities like never before.
The dynamic relationship between cannabis and culture has never been more evident than in Detroit's budding marijuana scene. Enter the Apotheculture Club, Detroit's avant-garde gathering that combines the pleasures of a weed-infused culinary experience with the timeless charm of opera and theater.
For many, the marriage of a sumptuous dinner and a sublime opera performance encapsulates the epitome of indulgence. But, add a hint of cannabis to the mix, and the evening transforms into something truly extraordinary. Detroit's Apotheculture Club has carefully curated just such an experience: a four-course cannabis-infused dinner coupled with a journey to either the Detroit Opera House or the Detroit Public Theatre (DPT).
James Blaszko, one of the masterminds behind this unique Detroit cannabis initiative, shared his perspective. "Classical music and cannabis form an unparalleled alliance," he remarked. "Operatic arias, with their lingering cadences, combined with the temporal distortion effect of cannabis, allow patrons to savor each moment in an unhurried, immersive fashion. It's a refreshing break from the fast-paced, ephemeral nature of today's digital age."
Joining Blaszko in this creative endeavor are distinguished personalities from Detroit's cannabis and arts scene: Enid Parham (also known as luckypistil), Jacob Lewkow, and Ben Holbrook.
The Apotheculture Club's forthcoming event, set for Saturday, October 21st, promises another mesmerizing night. For an investment of $200, attendees will be treated to a delectable dinner at an exclusive venue, followed by an exhilarating Dance Theatre of Harlem show at the Detroit Opera House.
Blaszko, recognized for producing notable events such as Liza Jessie Peterson's one-woman show "The Peculiar Patriot" and the presentation of "Xerxes" at the Detroit Opera, also expressed his passion for integrating individuals previously incarcerated for cannabis-related offenses. "My primary objective as a cultural architect is to create a space where they can appreciate the live arts, perhaps for the first time," he articulated.
The city witnessed the inauguration of its recreational cannabis market earlier this year. House of Dank earned the distinction of being the inaugural medical marijuana establishment to introduce adult-use cannabis products in Detroit, with DaCut joining the league shortly after.
This thriving market, combined with innovative ventures like the Apotheculture Club, underscores Detroit's commitment to creating a holistic, integrated cannabis experience for its residents and visitors alike.
