About the Event

A Workshop for the Curious, the Courageous, and the Open-Hearted

Elemental Psychedelic Immersion is not a workshop. It is a deliberate pause. A recalibration of the nervous system. A day designed to help you listen more closely to what is already trying to emerge.

This therapeutically held immersion weaves together breathwork, somatic awareness, intention-setting, live music, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to support meaningful inner shifts. The experience unfolds within a carefully curated container of safety, depth, and presence, allowing you to step out of habitual momentum and into a slower, more receptive state of being.

The group is intentionally intimate, limited to 8–12 participants, creating a spacious, connected, and grounded atmosphere where each person can feel seen, supported, and at ease.

This is not an escape from your life. It is a reset for how you meet it.

Light refreshments will be provided.

  • Gently reset your nervous system and reconnect with your inner compass

The day is intentionally structured to help soften what feels rigid, open what feels closed, and return you to yourself with greater spaciousness, clarity, and grounded energy.

Important Notes About KAP Participation

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an integral component of this immersion.

KAP uses low-dose ketamine in a therapeutic setting to gently shift consciousness, soften habitual defenses, and support deeper emotional insight. When paired with careful preparation, skilled guidance, breathwork, music, and intention-setting, many participants report increased clarity, self-compassion, and access to emotions or perspectives that feel difficult to reach in ordinary states of awareness.

Participation includes:

  • A required medical screening that begins upon registration
  • Completion of all screening requirements by January 23
  • Review by our medical team of medications, blood pressure, psychological stability, contraindications, and intentions for the experience

This workshop is not appropriate for individuals with active psychosis, unstable medical conditions, or those seeking a recreational or non-therapeutic psychedelic experience.

  • Wanting to reconnect with creativity, purpose, meaning, or a deeper sense of self

A Nervous System–Centered Approach

At its core, this experience is about restoration. Through breath, sound, and therapeutic support, the body is invited to release tension, soften protective patterns, process emotional material at a manageable pace, and return to a more regulated state.From this place, insight, clarity, and emotional movement often become more accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions

KAP combines low-dose ketamine with therapeutic support to help soften defenses, expand perspective, and deepen emotional insight. Ketamine gently shifts consciousness, creating a window where entrenched patterns become more flexible. With guidance from trained clinicians, participants often experience increased clarity, compassion for themselves, and access to underlying emotions that may be difficult to reach in day-to-day awareness.
Ketamine works best when the mind and body are already in a receptive state. Breathwork calms the nervous system, focuses attention inward, and opens somatic pathways for release. Intention setting gives the mind direction, while music creates an immersive emotional landscape that supports deeper exploration. Together, these elements help the journey unfold with more coherence, safety, and meaning.
Live soundscapes influence physiology and emotion, helping participants move through different inner states with greater ease. Vibrations, rhythm, and melody can quiet the analytical mind, evoke imagery, soften resistance, and guide people into deeper relaxation or insight. Many participants describe the music as the “container” that holds the journey and makes it feel both safe and expansive.
Breathwork helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, release stored tension, increase emotional openness, and shift consciousness without substances. For many, breathwork alone brings profound moments of clarity, release, or calm. It also prepares the mind and body to enter a ketamine journey with more grounding and intention.
Groups are intentionally small — 8 to 12 participants — to ensure warmth, spaciousness, and individual attention. People typically join with a mix of curiosity, openness, and a desire to reconnect with themselves.
We recommend comfortable clothing, a journal, and anything that helps you feel grounded (small blanket, cozy socks, meaningful object). We provide mats, seating, and light refreshments.
