I'm delighted to share that Kevin Cannella, LPC and I will be hosting our second offering of Transform in Community: A Legal Psychedelic Therapy Retreat this October after the incredible experience we co-created during our first retreat and the overwhelming positive feedback we received from our previous participants!

Early Bird Pricing through August 15 - $300 OFF!

We will again be offering scholarships of $500 off total retreat price to increase access to those who would like to participate but need financial assistance to make this viable.

This retreat will consist of:
Medical Consultation
1 Virtual Preparation Session
4 Day In-Person Retreat with 2 Ketamine Intramuscular Injections
2 Virtual Integration Sessions
Lodging and Chef-Prepared Meals Included

This retreat is well suited for clients and clinicians who are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, burnout, grief, and more.

We will incorporate depth psychology, transpersonal psychology, nature-based practices, parts work, and more.

It will be an opportunity to unplug from ordinary life, slow down, and increase liminal space - the time between a psychedelic experience and returning back to the hustle of daily life. It will include a lot of time and opportunities for integration, which is an essential component of the most effective psychedelic therapy.

Group psychedelic therapy is a radically powerful modality that allows participants to build community and connection with those who can share in your struggles and celebrate your successes.

I'll be including my e-course "Supporting Your Clients Through Ketamine Treatment" for clinicians who participate at no additional cost (3 CEUs). So clinicians can count this as part of your business expenses!

Please feel free to contact me through my website for a free info call.

More details and the registration form (which includes price based on lodging selection), can be found at my website: https://lauraevanscounseling.com/retreat

With gratitude,
Laura
