Life after death is one of the deepest mysteries we face, especially in times of grief. While no one knows for certain where we go, many find comfort in beliefs, memories, and the continuing bond we hold with those who’ve passed.

Grief is love that has nowhere to go — and healing begins when we allow ourselves to feel, remember, and honor.

What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a therapeutic approach that combines the carefully monitored use of ketamine with psychotherapy. Ketamine can help the brain enter a state that allows for greater emotional processing, perspective shifts, and insight. In this state, psychotherapy can be more effective, helping you work through trauma, depression, anxiety, or patterns that have been difficult to change. KAP is guided by a trained therapist in a safe, supportive environment, with a focus on integrating the insights gained into lasting healing and growth.

If you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, or navigating life transitions, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) can support deeper emotional processing and meaningful change. In a safe, guided therapeutic setting, ketamine can help you gain new insights, work through challenging emotions, and break unhelpful patterns.

KAP is not a quick fix—it’s a therapeutic tool that, when combined with psychotherapy, supports lasting growth, self-understanding, and resilience.

✨ Personalized, compassionate care in a safe environment
✨ Evidence-based integration to help you process and make sense of your experience
✨ Ideal for those ready to explore new and alternative approaches to mental health - not just talk therapy

We’re still learning how to work with the newest part of our brain — the prefrontal cortex — the center of awareness, choice, and compassion. For most of human history, we’ve been wired to survive, operating from the older, more primal parts of the brain that react instantly to threat (often called the “reptilian” brain).

Therapy helps us bridge that gap. Approaches like somatic therapy gently bring the body into the healing process, teaching the nervous system it’s safe to relax and respond instead of just react. And therapies like EMDR help rewire trauma responses stored in older brain regions, allowing the thinking, conscious parts of the brain to come back online.

The more we practice this, the more we shift from survival to presence — from automatic reactions to intentional, grounded choices.

We do not merely fall in love with another person — we fall into the depths of our own unconscious. The beloved becomes the mirror in which we glimpse the hidden image of our soul. Love, in its highest form, is the invitation to confront ourselves.

How we live is how we die. May we live in deep presence so we meet death with the dignity of life.

Carl Jung offered mandalas as a map of the soul. Symbols of the Self, they reflected our inner world: whole, centered, and in balance.
⠀
When life felt chaotic, Jung and his patients would draw mandalas to restore a sense of order and meaning.
⠀
“The mandala is the psychological expression of the totality of the self.” — Jung
⠀
Every circle is a quiet invitation: Return to yourself.

When was the last time you played?
When was the last time you danced?
When was the last time you sang?
Life is both serious and a cosmic joke!
The world doesn’t need a more “healed” version of you.
It’s needs your now — in your joy. In your love. In your grief. In your anger. In your peace. In your full presence.
It’s all part of the deal of this being human.

Spirituality, consciousness, enlightenment is not something that can be captured by how you dress, how much love and light you shine, how much you meditate or how many medicine journeys you have done.

It’s not something you have to work for or try to be. You already are.

I recently heeded a call to adventure and embarked on a vision quest — a journey of stillness, reflection, and deep reconnection with the wisdom of the natural world atop Pine Mountain, California.

Alone in the vastness of nature, with only the wind, the trees, and my own thoughts as companions, I allowed myself to slow down, turn inward, and listen.

A vision quest is a traditional rite of passage in many Indigenous cultures, particularly among Native American communities, where time in solitude and often fasting helps guide a person toward insight, clarity, and personal transformation. Today, it’s also embraced as a practice for spiritual growth and self-discovery.

In my latest Love Letter — a newsletter straight from the heart — I share what stirred in my soul, the insights that emerged, and the reflections I brought back from this journey.
