Immersive Experiences in the Finger Lakes
Uniquely tending to set and setting to create a nurturing, nature-infused, and ceremonial context for your healing journey.
The Experience
The benefits of ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP) can be deepened within a circle of connection and support. As social beings, healing often occurs in the context of warm authentic relationships. When we are seen and heard for who we truly are, underneath the labels and social conditioning, we can connect with our True Selves. Groups are facilitated by a licensed psychologist in a safe supportive therapeutic context paired with opportunities to engage in practices that promote an open stance of curiosity and facilitate inner exploration. These may include meditation, a sound bath, gentle yoga, breathing practices, creative expression, or connection with the natural world.
The Setting
Set (mindset) and setting (the environment) are important factors in maximizing the benefits of KAP. When people take a reprieve from the distractions and obligations of daily life, authentic spacious presence can foster conditions needed to relax into an expansive state for a shift in perspective in what it means to be human. Additionally, slowing down to connect with nature surfaces our deep remembrance of being part of a sacred web of life. It is in this context that healing can be optimal.
The Participants
Group KAP immersive experiences can be ideal for those already engaged in KAP and looking to further their therapeutic progress, It can also be appropriate for those starting KAP and who are committed to the ongoing integration that follows. Potential participants meet with a licensed psychologist to discuss their intentions and fit for the group. Ideal candidates tend to be insightful, curious, and looking to find meaning in life’s challenges. They also may be drawn to explore existential or spiritual issues in relation to their therapeutic goals.
