With the renaissance of psychedelic medicines, it’s important that clinicians are well equipped with techniques to support their clients' integration.
This 4-day retreat will provide experiential opportunities, integration practices, and practical information. Clinicians will learn preparation for, holding space for, and integration of ESA while working with their own psycho-spiritual development.
This workshop includes experiences with Ketamine, breathwork, shamanic drum journey, art process, movement, and group process. Those attending the retreat will have the option of participating in an ongoing, year-long Growth Group where they engage in their personal unfoldment, commit to the group process, and learn skills to work with clients who request integration for ESA. This may include Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) clients who work with a KAP-trained therapist for initial treatment and need ongoing integration.
While this training is not a KAP certification training, it is a way to deepen into that training.
Some of the topics included in the retreat include:
-
Ceremony as Set, Setting and Integration.
-
Spiritual emergence vs psychotic break.
-
Basics on the legal use of Ketamine for mental health.
-
Traditional psychotherapy versus integration.
-
Respecting the client’s innate healing intelligence (inner healer).
-
Theories and methods that lend themselves well to integration.
-
Art for Access integration technique.
-
3 categories of a client’s psycho-spiritual center of gravity.
