What to Expect

  • What to Expect During a Ketamine Journey

    • Ketamine is a legal, evidence-based medicine used in therapeutic settings to support emotional processing, insight, and healing

    • Experiences are supported with preparation, clinical oversight, and integration of the experience

    During the Journey

    • Individual experience lying comfortably on a mat

    • Eye mask and music provided to support an inward, reflective state

    • Intramuscular Ketamine injection with dose determined during your clinical intake session with Elias Snyder, PhD, NP

    • Optional booster dose if appropriate and desired

    The Experience

    • Most people experience an expanded, psychedelic state of consciousness

    • Often described as dreamlike, introspective, or expansive

    • Can support new perspectives, emotional release, and deeper insight

    • Dosing is carefully titrated by our clinical team to prioritize safety

    Support & Comfort

    • Clinical team present throughout the experience

    • Nausea medication available if needed

    After the Journey

    • Access to two quiet spaces for reflection | Individual or Small Group

    • Snacks & Drinks available

    • Guided group integration and yoga to support grounding and meaning-making

  • Integrity, creativity, and empathy shape the way we work. These aren't just words—they’re the foundation of everything we build.

  • What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.

Reconnect with your body and mind as you escape the noise of everyday life.
Day Two

Set Intentions & Reflect

Together, we pause to consider our goals, hopes, and direction. This is about aligning with ourselves and with the journey ahead. This is a chance to reconnect with what brought you here—your questions, your hopes, your turning points—and consider how they’ve shifted or deepened.
