In this four hour medicine session, participants will be guided on a journey inward, with the support of our clinical and support staff.

Participants will administer their own medication under the trained guidance of our clinical team.

"Something feels different, I am becoming different, experiencing my self differently. There is movement, shifting. I feel the ketamine process has illuminated healing in a way I’ve never experienced before. I see my pain, my wounds and I see strength and hope."
