Ketamine Experiences for Healing Professionals

Guide MindBody Therapy is a place where therapists and healing professionals can come together to heal, grow, and learn. It is essential for us to be able to receive care and connection in order to provide solid and sustainable care for others.

We are excited to offer more Ketamine Experiences for those who work in the healing professions. Our last three groups for healing profesionals were wonderful experiences of healing and growth. We are excited to continue to offer more opportunities.

" Participating in the KAP Group for Healers with Guide MindBody was powerful and beautiful. Ashley, Safia, and Melanie created safe space for each member to share deeply and experience differently in group while offering authentic presence to keep us both grounded and open to the transcendental. I felt well prepared approaching my first medicine-assisted experience, and I felt safe receiving this assistance in the presence of such kind, skillful clinicians. Every detail in the environment and the guided process was thoughtfully designed, enabling my experience to be profoundly healing at new depths. I have a greater trust in life now, and I feel very grateful to have witnessed the growth of other brave healers as well as to be held so fully by Ashley and her team. "

What Group Ketamine Experiences are & are not:

  • everyone wearing an eye mask on their own comfortable mat going internally to be with their own process. 

  • There is music playing in the background that helps support your experience, similar to group breathwork.

  • Everyone is on medicine at the same time: though you may hear someone else laughing or crying or saying words, you are deeply in your own journey. 

  • These are confidential groups. This protects the process and work we are all doing to show up and heal together.  

  • Ketamine experience groups for Healing Professionals are not therapy groups, they are providing supplemental experiences for you to deepen the work you are already doing. We are not your therapists, but rather, we are your skilled colleagues, guiding you to continue to grow in the healing journey that you are already on with your own therapist.

  • Because we are not your therapists --- it is essential for you to have your own therapist for integration.  Ketamine Journeys are like panning for gold. When the ketamine wears off you have a pan with gold in it. Integration is taking that pan of gold out of the water and doing something with it. Not integrating it is like dumping it back in the river to be reabsorbed.

  • Integration is just as important as the experience itself.  Being able to be vulnerable about it with a professional who can help you process it as well as witness you doing deep work is a huge part of anchoring it into your system.  

  • Thus, integration is essential — it completes the process, forming integrity. At Guide, we emphasize both doing our own healing before offering healing to others, and experiencing altered states of consciousness before offering it. This prevents a myriad of issues when working with healing medicines/altered states of consciousness.

  • If you don't have a therapist, we are happy to refer you to someone who can provide what you need.

Healing in community is powerful.

Our culture has an epidemic of loneliness. 

"I bet you didn’t smoke 15 cigarettes today. 

Of course you didn’t. It’s alarmingly clear how terrible smoking is for your health. 

(Not to mention the status and affiliation of smoking has completely reversed itself.)

But what if there was something as bad as smoking that we all experience from time to time? 

Loneliness. 

(Why isn’t anyone talking about this?!) 

Julianne Holt-Lunstad, PhD, a psychologist at BYU found that loneliness makes premature death 

fifty percent more likely for people of all ages. 

The stats are mind-blowing:

  • Air pollution increases the odds of early death by 5%

  • Obesity increases the odds of early death by 20%

  • Excessive alcohol consumption increases the odds of early death by 30%

  • Living with loneliness increases the odds of early death by 45%

This wasn’t one poorly conducted study. It was two different meta-analyses of 

over 200 studies and over 3.5 million people. 

Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy (the guy in charge of the warning labels on cigarettes) said that loneliness is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

Health insurer Cigna ran a huge study on loneliness where 54% of respondents said they felt “no one knows them well”. What does that mean? 

It means that they are not sharing the truth about themselves and no one is there to listen. "
