Discover Healing in a Day
Join us for a transformative One-Day Group Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Experience at the stunning Rainforest Retreat in Río Grande, Puerto Rico. This condensed offering provides all the benefits of ketamine therapy and group connection in a single, powerful day.
A Day Designed for Deep Healing
In this intimate group setting, you’ll embark on a 3-hour ketamine journey supported by expert facilitators, followed by a 3-hour integration session to process and ground your experience. Nestled in the heart of Puerto Rico’s lush rainforest, this experience combines the therapeutic power of ketamine with the restorative energy of nature.
WELCOME TO YOUR RETREAT DAY!
You arrive at the rainforest retreat, surrounded by the lush greenery and soothing sounds of nature. The air feels alive, yet there’s a quiet stillness that invites you to pause. You’re nervous—uncertain of what this journey will bring—but you know you’re here for a reason.
As you settle into the session, the facilitators gently guide you through the process, ensuring you feel safe and supported. The ketamine begins to take effect, and you notice a shift. At first, it’s unfamiliar, maybe even a little uncomfortable.
Emotions you’ve pushed aside for years might start to surface. It can be intense, raw, and even scary, but in this space, you’re not alone.
The sensations evolve, shifting like waves. There may be moments of lightness, where things feel clear and expansive—like a window has opened to new possibilities. But there may also be moments that challenge you, where you face parts of yourself you’ve avoided. And yet, as these feelings come and go, you realize something important: you are capable of holding space for them.
Each moment, whether joyful or difficult, offers insight. You might become awarye of a struggle in your life or feel a connection to yourself that you haven’t felt in a long time. Or maybe you simply let yourself be with what is, no pressure to solve or fix anything, just allowing whatever arises to unfold.
As the session concludes, you’re guided back to the present, grounding yourself in the here and now. The group gathers to reflect; not to compare experiences, but to share in the understanding that healing is a journey, and every step is valid.
You leave the rainforest retreat not with all the answers, but with something meaningful: a deeper connection to yourself, a new perspective, and the reassurance that even in the challenging moments, growth is possible.
How will it feel to finally take a break from carrying everything on your own?
What a relief to let go of the constant pressure to have it all together! Imagine being in a space where you don’t have to fix anything immediately — just be supported, heard, and understood while exploring what’s really going on beneath the surface.
How will it feel to face emotions you’ve been avoiding and finally move through them?
It might feel scary at first, but it will also feel freeing. When you allow yourself to confront those emotions in a safe, guided environment, they lose their power over you. You’ll feel lighter, clearer, and more at peace with yourself by the end of the day.
How will it feel to break through the mental fog and finally see things clearly?
It will feel amazing to gain clarity where there was once confusion, and to finally begin to understand your feelings and the patterns holding you back. This retreat is designed to help you open up new perspectives and leave with a sense of direction and purpose.
How transformative will it be to access new emotional insights through Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy in a tropical paradise?
Life-changing! Ketamine opens up your mind to new perspectives and allows deep emotional work to happen. When combined with the healing energies of the rainforest, it will guide you to deep understandings that might have felt out of reach before, providing you with new tools for long-lasting healing.
