Awaken, Heal, & Evolve
A Weekend Workshop of Deep Healing and A Guided Journey Into Inner Transformation
Curious about ketamine therapy?
Curious about ketamine therapy and how it can unlock new possibilities in your life?
Our Weekend Transformation Workshops offer a powerful yet accessible introduction to the healing potential of ketamine-assisted therapy, breathwork, and meditation. Designed for those who seek deep healing but may not be ready for a longer retreat, this immersive experience provides a safe, supportive, and transformative space to explore the power of altered states and conscious integration.
What sets us apart from most is our holistic approach, where science and modern day therapy meets spirituality to create a harmonious blend of modern spiritual practices along with ancient techniques and wisdom. Our experienced facilitators, trained in ketamine therapy, breathwork, and meditation, create a safe and nurturing environment for your personal and spiritual exploration and growth. As opposed to a stark clinical setting, where you experience the medicine by yourself, the retreat environment is what allows you to go even deeper with the medicine journeys and to be in community, cultivating deep relationships while doing so.
What is ketamine?
Medical Background & Safety
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been used in medical settings for decades. It's primarily used in emergency rooms for procedures requiring short-term sedation or anesthesia.
Ketamine is one of the most widely used drugs in the world due to its excellent safety profile.
Common medical applications:
- Reduction of fractures and dislocations
- Wound repair in uncooperative patients
- Sedation, especially for children
- Pain management
Therapeutic Applications
Due to profound effects observed in research, ketamine is now being used in therapeutic settings and is treated by many psychotherapists as a dissociative psychedelic.
Ketamine therapy has shown promising results for treating:
- Treatment-resistant depression
- Suicidal thoughts and ideation
- Chronic anxiety
- PTSD
The dissociative state allows people to gain a "bird's eye view" of their life and circumstances, often leading to profound insights and emotional breakthroughs that may not be accessible through traditional therapy alone.
How It Works
Research shows that ketamine has neuroplastic properties, which is the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. We theorize that these neuroplastic changes can translate into concrete new thought patterns and behaviors.
This powerful shift in engrained ways of thinking and behavior creates space for exploration from a more accepting and loving place. This curiosity allows you to make positive changes that may otherwise feel overwhelming or out of reach.
The combination of these elements allows you to realign with what truly matters to you, often leading to lasting positive change that extends beyond the treatment itself.
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic and is primarily used in emergency rooms for procedures requiring short-term sedation/anesthesia, such as the reduction of fractures and dislocations, as well as in wound repair in uncooperative patients, especially children and can be safely used in a wide age range, beginning at three months. However because of the profound effects that were studied on people who struggled with treatment resistant depression, suicidal thoughts/ideation, and chronic anxiety, it is now being used in a therapeutic setting and is treated by many psychotherapists as a dissociative psychedelic.
Ketamine is one of the most widely used drugs in the world due to its safety profile. As a dissociative psychedelic, it creates a sense of disconnection from one’s ordinary reality. This psychedelic experience is crucial to creating changes in perspectives and moods and allows people to have a bird’s eye view of their life. Research also shows that ketamine has neuroplastic properties, which is the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. We theorize that neuroplastic changes can translate into concrete new thought patterns and behaviors.
This powerful shift in engrained ways of thinking and behavior creates space for exploration from a more accepting and loving place. This curiosity allows you to make positive changes that may otherwise feel overwhelming or out of reach. Ketamine coupled with breathwork and meditation, and alongside our profound framework for healing the inner child and transcending your triggers creates an avenue to access your deeper self so you can realign with what truly matters to you.

The Power of Community
While ketamine is mostly being used in clinical settings on an individual bases, we wanted to bring a different approach that we believe is much more effect. Studies have shown that when you bring a group of like-minded individuals together, creating a space of security, safety, and trust, you can create states of energetic coherence within the group that in and of itself creates powerful healing and changes on an emotional, psychological, biological, and spiritual level. By combining the power of coherence within the group, the beautiful medicine, the breathwork, the group exercises, integration circles, and the integration tools offered, you will be provided with every opportunity to experience a life changing 3 days.
Investment for a weekend retreat is $975.
