Healing from Within:
A Sacred Women’s Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
Retreat in
Puerto Rico
January 10-17, 2025
If you are a woman who has been carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, or trauma, or someone who yearns for inner peace and self-discovery, AND you’re ready to dive deep into transformative healing supported by ketamine-assisted therapy, then join us in Puerto Rico for this life-changing retreat.
You step out into the warm, humid air of the Puerto Rican morning, the sounds of the rainforest waking with you. The soft rustle of leaves greets your ears as the sunlight filters through the canopy, dappling the path ahead.
The air is thick with the scent of earth and tropical flowers, grounding you with every breath.
As you walk, your feet press gently into the earth, feeling the cool, damp ground beneath you. The song of birds surrounds you—vivid flashes of color as they flit between the trees—and you happen to catch a glimpse of a bright coquí frog hopping across your path, its chirp familiar and soothing. The path leads you deeper into the lush greenery, where the sound of a distant waterfall beckons.
You pause for a moment, taking in the expanse that stretches as far as the eye can see.

The world here feels alive, vibrating with the rhythm of nature, and you can feel yourself beginning to sync with it. The weight you’ve been carrying starts to lighten as you realize that you’re not just in a beautiful place—you are a part of it.
Later, you dip into the crystal-clear pool, the cool water instantly soothing your skin after the hike. You float on your back, eyes closed, feeling the sun warming your face. The stillness of the water mirrors the growing sense of calm within you, and for the first time in a long while, you allow yourself to simply be.
In the quiet moments of the day, as you relax in a hammock or walk barefoot along the forest’s edge, you feel the land holding you. The trees, the birds, the breeze—they’re all a part of your healing journey. Each breath you take feels deeper, more connected. You are not just visiting this place; you are becoming part of it, and it is becoming part of you.

Can you imagine how healing it will be to undergo your inner journey while immersed in the rainforest’s energy?

There’s something about nature that calls to me—and I know it calls to many of you, too. I’ve seen firsthand how the stillness of a forest or the rhythmic crashing of waves can help us ground ourselves, feel supported, and open up in ways we didn’t think were possible. This connection with nature, coupled with the therapeutic effects of ketamine in a safe, guided setting, is life-changing. My goal is to help you let go of what no longer serves you, embrace your strengths, and find a meaningful connection with yourself and the world around you.
This isn’t just work for me; it’s personal. I’ve walked my own path through healing and transformation, and I know how powerful—and sometimes challenging—it can be. My retreats are built to hold space for you in a way that feels supportive and empowering. Together, through sacred practices, meaningful reflection, and the nurturing presence of nature, we’ll go inward, find what’s been hiding, and embrace the beauty of who you are at your core. I’m honored to be part of your journey.

Queridas Almas Hermosas,
Dear Beautiful Souls,
If you’re reading this, I want you to know how deeply honored I am that you’re considering joining us in Puerto Rico. There’s something magical about this place, something sacred in its soil, sun, and seas. My heart has been called here not just for the beauty of the rainforest, the warmth of the island, or the power of the ocean, but because of the healing journey this land invites. Together, we will step into a space of profound transformation, supported by the wisdom of nature, the power of ketamine-assisted healing, and the safety of a nurturing, like-hearted community.
I created this retreat because I believe that each of us deserves a space to let go, to breathe deeply, and to find the parts of ourselves that may have been buried beneath the weight of life’s challenges. Whether it’s trauma, anxiety, or simply a need to reconnect with yourself and the world around you, this time together is designed to help you release, renew, and reclaim a sense of inner peace and purpose.
From morning meditations to our evening gatherings, each part of this experience is crafted with love and intention. And with the island’s spirit guiding us, I hope you’ll find clarity, healing, and a lasting connection with yourself and the incredible women who will walk alongside you on this journey.
I can’t wait to welcome you with open arms, share this beautiful adventure, and witness the powerful shifts that await us all.
Con todo mi amor y luz,
(With all my love and light)
Meg
