Group Ketamine Retreat:Returning to the Heart

💖 Returning to the Heart is February's Ketamine group experience designed to gently reconnect you with yourself during a time when life and the world can feel heavy. When stress, grief, or burnout take hold, many of us naturally disconnect from our hearts as a form of protection. This group honors that wisdom while creating a safe, supportive space for softness, self-compassion, and re-connection to emerge at your own pace. Rather than forcing emotional openness, we focus on safety, spaciousness, and allowing using Ketamine as a tool to experience care without pressure. This small, trauma-informed group is ideal for those feeling numb, guarded, or disconnected, and for anyone longing to return to themselves with gentleness and support. 

🌺 Why Join This Retreat?

Creating inner balance is not about perfection, it’s about being in honest relationship with your inner world, tending to it with care, and learning how to return to center when life inevitably pulls you off track. This retreat creates space to:

🌬️ Regulate your nervous system – soften stress and find breath and grounded presence.

🌀 Stay rooted in your truth – hear your own voice; not the noise of others' expectations

🔥 Protect your energy – When you're balanced internally, you can set boundaries without guilt, hold space for others without depletion, and lead or guide from a well-resourced place.

🌙 Support spiritual growth – Just like the earth follows cycles of light and dark, your own inner rhythm needs both stillness and momentum, joy and sorrow, action and rest. Balance helps you honor every part of your journey, not just the shiny or productive ones.

🌾 Bridge body, mind & heart – Inner balance isn’t just mental clarity—it’s embodied wholeness. When your body, heart, and mind are in harmony, you’re more available to yourself and those you love and support.

🧘 What Makes This Retreat Unique

Unlike our regular group therapy sessions, this retreat includes restorative yoga before the medicine journey, guided meditation, and music helping prepare both body and mind for a deeper, more balanced experience. You get more than medicine. You experience a whole luxury journey complete with all comfort items, certified guides, advanced practice providers.

Come as you are!

Leave enlightened, relaxed, and awed!

In addition, we’ll hold a preparation call on Thursday, February 19 at 7:00 PM (via Zoom), where you’ll be invited to reflect on prompts such as:

Where am I overextended or undernourished right now?

What helps me return to myself?

What would balance feel like in my body, breath, and heart?
