Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy combines the use of ketamine with structured therapeutic support. Ketamine can temporarily shift perception, reduce habitual defenses, and increase emotional access. In this group, the medicine is used as a therapeutic aid, not as a stand-alone experience, and is integrated through preparation, psychotherapy, and follow-up.

This is group/couples psychotherapy, with individualized attention embedded throughout the process. You’ll have a private session before the retreat and shared integration afterward. The group format allows for depth, resonance, and support while still honoring personal boundaries.

You have the opportunity to do an individual ketamine session with us before the retreat at an additional cost. Additionally, if you would like to continue with more ketamine sessions after the retreat, that is available to you as well.

No prior ketamine or psychedelic experience is required. Many participants are new to ketamine. Preparation is part of the process, and sessions are paced with care. Wemay recommend an individual session before participating in the group experience if you have no experience being in an altered state, but it's not required.

During each session, participants rest on comfortable mats with eyeshades and curated music/live music. The experience is largely internal without group processing until afterwards. Clinical staff are present, and the environment is calm, contained, and supportive.

The session lasts several hours, including preparation, dosing, and recovery time.

Safety is central to this work. All participants complete medical screening with a licensed prescriber and a therapeutic intake beforehand. The group is facilitated in a professional setting with clear boundaries, monitoring, and trauma-informed care.

Ketamine is not appropriate for everyone, and participation is contingent on medical and psychological clearance. Overall, ketamine is considered a safe substance for most people with plenty of research to back up this claim.

Supportive physical Touch during the retreat will be discussed in great detail during the preparation process and consent is received each step along the way.

Below are some of the common ketamine experiences that a person can have; however, it's important to note that it's hard to explain how these experiences may look or feel like and everyone reacts to Ketamine differently. 

Physical sensations: Deep relaxation or heaviness in the body; sensations of floating, sinking, or dissolving; numbness or altered body awareness (e.g. loss of body boundaries); tingling, warmth, or a light buzzing sensation, slowed or irregular sense of time and movement

Emotional: catharsis, joy, love, sadness, grief, oneness, anxiety, fear, emotional detachment or observation (viewing emotions from a distance), old emotional patterns may resurface for healing

Visual and sensory: Heightened senses of touch, sound, dreamlike scenes or narratives; shifts in temperature, texture, or perception of space

Cognitive: Disruption of habitual thought loops; enhanced clarity, new insights, or problem-solving; decreased inner critic or mental noise; non-linear or symbolic thinking; a sense of watching one’s mind from a distance

Mystical/spiritual: Timelessness, oneness, feeling connected to something greater, revisiting key life events or transitions from a soul perspective, interconnection, ego dissolution.

Some people feel clarity or lightness afterward; others feel tender or reflective. Integration support is provided to help process whatever arises.

Responses to ketamine vary from person to person and from session to session. Some people feel a sense of clarity, openness, or emotional relief afterward. Others feel quiet, reflective, or emotionally tender.

It’s also common to notice:

• heightened sensitivity or introspection

• shifts in mood or perspective over the following days

• a need for rest, reduced stimulation, or gentle pacing

There is no “right” way to feel. Part of the therapeutic process is allowing the experience to unfold over time rather than expecting immediate conclusions or answers.

This is why integration support is built into the group — to help you track what’s emerging, make meaning of the experience, and support nervous-system regulation as things settle.

This is an incredible opportunity to receive a quality group KAP retreat at an accessible rate. Typically, a group ketamine-assisted therapy retreat will range between $1,500-$4,000 and include more than 8 participants, meaning less individual care and attention.
