Wellness is the Purpose
This transformative experience offers a unique opportunity for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth, hosted at Pala Medicine in Pasadena. Our skilled team of facilitators has meticulously crafted a comprehensive program to ensure a safe and supportive environment for your ketamine healing journeys. Each group is limited to just 8 people.
- Experience the power of psychedelic healing with ketamine from skilled practitioners in a medically-supervised setting.
- Address personal burnout, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, and addressing depression, anxiety, and trauma.
- Reboot with a nervous system reset in a relational space – reconnect with yourself while healing in community.
- Learn to take maximum advantage of neuroplasticity in the “window of opportunity” after each psychedelic journey.
- Safe and effective psychedelic journeys are conducted in a small group.
Carefully Curated Program
3 Ketamine Journey Sessions (on Saturdays)
Most ketamine group programs work only with sublingual ketamine, which is generally less psychedelic than an intramuscular (IM) administration. Our retreat is physician-supervised, allowing you to go deep into the psychedelic space for maximum impact.
- 1st Session, Saturday, November 18th – sublingual psychedelic dose to get started
- 2nd Session, Saturday, December 2nd – intramuscular dose, going deeper
- 3rd Session, Saturday, December 9th – intramuscular dose, higher dose for a profound journey experience
- The third journey is tailored to your unique experience and physiology (with an option to return to sublingual and/or modify dose as needed)
- Each day is 10 am to 3 pm. Be flexible as we may go overtime to 4 pm. You will need to have a ride home for safety.
Additional Preparation and Support
- Initial Group Meeting, Friday, November 17th – we’ll get to know one another, prepare for our first journey, and cover intention-setting
- 3 Integration Calls during the week following each journey (over Zoom)
- Medical pre-screening session included
