Trainings, Events & Workshops

Have you been curious about psychedelic healing for personal  growth or curious  how to integrate psychedelic healing into your therapeutic practice?  We offer opportunities for participants to explore spiritual growth and healing as well as for clinicians to experience and deepen knowledge about ketamine, psychedelics, and best clinical practices.  For seekers and clinicians Psilocybin retreats are available in Jamaica and ketamine  in Los Angeles.

We offer a range of trainings; from introduction to psychedelic healing to comprehensive and experiential. The intensive work is designed to prepare therapists to feel comfortable working with clients in a non-ordinary state of consciousness. Psychedelics are non-specific amplifiers therefore they can create a larger space for healing as well as a larger feeling a vulnerability. Our goal is to begin the training process, the process of learning how to be our most authentic selves and help people access the core of their essence will be an ongoing process for both therapist and client alike.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for Practitioners

Group Ketamine Learning and Healing Experience

Home-LA offers experiential sessions to clinicians interested in understanding the ketamine-assisted therapeutic process. Our goal is to strengthen the alliance within the therapeutic community. The format is three group meetings and one individual meeting for clearance. The individual clearance appointment can be booked in advance of the first session.

Group Meeting #1: One-hour informative Q&A and preparatory session over Zoom. This gives us the opportunity to connect, discussion intentions, expectations and prepare for the journey ahead.

Group Meeting #2: Three-hour journey utilizing intramuscular ketamine. This begins with a check in to reconnect and reorient ourselves to the space, the intention and the group. We then drop in with a grounding meditation to arrive into the space together, followed by ketamine administration companioned by a psychedelic sound track.

Group Meeting #3: One-hour integration. This involves a group reflection over Zoom on your ketamine experience and is a safe space for individuals to share their thoughts.

Ketamine Assisted Therapy Virtual Training Series

Ketamine assisted psychotherapy is a novel tool in the mental healthcare field, proving to be effective and quite nuanced. Ketamine is an approved medicine for treating depression and shows much promise addressing complex trauma, substance used disorders, anxiety, and other disorders associated with a limiting belief system. Coupling Ketamine with psychotherapy works synergistically to expedite and amplify the therapeutic process.
 
It is a sharp tool and as practitioners we must be skilled, careful and respectful of the power of both the medication and the vulnerability it creates. This Ketamine Training Series is appropriate for clinicians and practitioners of the healing arts. Consider this training a step in an ongoing journey—one where we, as clinicians, help shape the evolving future of mental healthcare.
