Why Group Ketamine?
Group Ketamine Sessions offer a different container.
Within a small, intentionally facilitated group, ketamine is paired with:
- Clinician led
- Structured preparation and integration
- Trauma-informed facilitation
- The steady presence of others engaged in similar inner work
What Group Ketamine Experiences Look Like
Group Sessions are carefully structured to support safety, depth, and integration.
Journey Day
The in-person session includes:
Brief individual check-ins
A structured opening and intention setting
Ketamine administration under medical supervision
Supported inward experience
Space for reflection and optional group sharing
The session concludes with time to gently reorient, reflect, and reconnect before returning to daily life — including light refreshments and space for informal grounding.
Preparation
Participants attend a virtual preparation session to meet facilitators, clarify intentions, learn grounding tools, and review expectations.
*All Group Ketamine participants are required to attend the virtual preparation session in order to attend the Group Journey Day.
Integration
Integration support is available to help translate insight into everyday life.
Group Facilitators
Both Kim and Emily have completed in-depth training and certification in Psychedelic Research and Therapy. They’re close colleagues and have been co-facilitating Group Ketamine Sessions together for many years.

What participants say about our Group Ketamine Experiences
Healing Happens in Connection
Humans are wired for connection, yet many of us carry struggle quietly and alone. Over time, isolation can deepen depression, anxiety, shame, and disconnection from self and others.
Group Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy creates a shared, clinically held space where individuals engage in ketamine-assisted work alongside others — not to be fixed, compared, or pressured to share, but to be witnessed and supported.
Participants often describe:
- A reduced sense of isolation
- Greater emotional depth and honesty
- Increased compassion for self and others
- Insight that feels embodied, not forced
