The Team
Kanna Garden was born from the shared vision of Gabrielle Bachand and Michael Oliver—partners, collaborators, and seekers—who’ve spent the past three years walking side by side in love, ritual, and healing.
Michael is the founder of The Flying Sage and Legacy Journeys, with a background in psychedelic research, community building, and soul-led entrepreneurship. His work blends science, ceremony, and creativity—often accompanied by the sound of his guitar—supporting others to live with more meaning and presence.
Gabrielle is a breathwork facilitator, somatic coach, and ceremonialist devoted to the sacred path of remembering. Her offerings are grounded in lived experience and reverence for plant allies, helping others reconnect with their bodies and the wisdom within.
Together, they created Kanna Garden not just as a business, but as a love letter—to the plants, practices, and shared moments that help us slow down and return to what matters most.
What Is Kanna?
Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) is a succulent plant native to South Africa, traditionally used by Indigenous Khoisan peoples for centuries in ritual, connection, and emotional centering. Known as a heart-opening ally, kanna was often chewed, brewed, or smoked to support states of calm, presence, and communal harmony—especially after long hunts or in ceremonial gatherings.
Today, its gentle, grounding nature continues to be honored as a botanical that brings us back to ourselves.
At Kanna Garden, we work with high-quality kanna extracts to help you weave this sacred plant into your own rhythms. Whether you're journaling in the morning, dancing at a festival, settling into breathwork, enjoying a hot/cold cycle or simply seeking a deeper connection with the moment, kanna offers a natural invitation to slow down and soften.
Many in our community report feeling more open-hearted, energized, centered and creatively attuned when working with this ancient plant.
Frequently asked questions
How does kanna make you feel?
Many people describe kanna as heart-opening, calming and gently uplifting. It supports presence, creativity, and a sense of connection... without the intensity of psychedelics or stimulants.
How long does kanna last?
Typically, kanna lasts for 3-4 hours.
Is kanna legal in Canada?
Yes. Kanna is fully legal to buy, sell, and consume in Canada.
Will kanna make me high?
No. Kanna is not a psychedelic. It may subtly elevate your mood or help you feel more emotionally open, but it won’t cause hallucinations or impair judgment.
Where are your products manufactured?
Our kanna extracts are sourced from South Africa and our products are then created here in Vancouver, BC.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. You will always know the shipping price before you purchase.
Can I take kanna with other supplements or medications?
We recommend consulting a healthcare practitioner before combining kanna with other supplements or medications, especially SSRIs or MAOIs... as interactions are possible.
Can I mix kanna with alcohol?
We don’t recommend combining kanna with alcohol. While some people report mild effects when using them together, both kanna and alcohol influence mood and nervous system function. For safety and clarity, we suggest enjoying kanna on its own... especially if you’re exploring its effects for the first time.
Can I take kanna instead of alcohol?
Yes! Many of our customers use kanna as a mindful alternative to drinking. It can support connection, relaxation, and heart-opening without the hangover or heaviness. Whether at social events or in quiet moments, kanna pairs beautifully with presence.
