With the renaissance of psychedelic medicines, it’s important for clinicians to be familiar with how they work and, especially, how to support their client’s integration of their experience. This 5-day retreat will provide experiential opportunities, integration practices and practical information.

Clinicians/Practitioners will learn preparation for, holding space for, and integration of – expanded states of awareness (ESA) while working with their own psycho-spiritual development. Experientials include KAP via a low dose oral and an IM ketamine experience, breathwork, shamanic drum journey, art process, movement, ceremony, and group process work.

Those attending the retreat will have the option of an ongoing, year-long Growth Group where they engage in their personal unfoldment, commit to group process and learn skills to work with clients who request integration for ESA. This may include KAP clients who work with a KAP trained therapist for initial treatment and who need ongoing integration post home KAP sessions.

* While this training is not a KAP-specific training, it is a way to deepen your knowledge of ketamine integration and can be taken before or after other KAP trainings.

Through experiential learning, discussion and didactics practitioners will be able to:

• Distinguish 4 ways in which traditional psychotherapy and integration are different
• List 3 psychological theories/methods that lend themselves well to integration
• Apply the 8 steps of Jennifer’s Art for Access integration technique for integration
• List 3 bridge Integration practices
• List 3 ways art acts as a bridge to non-ordinary states of awareness
• Describe the relationship between Intention and Integration
• Apply 3 energy practices used in preparation
• Discern 3 unique characteristics of ketamine integration
• List 4 considerations with group integration vs. 1:1

I’d like to invite you to an exciting journey of exploration and growth through the Inka Medicine Path. This thousand year old tradition of love and power practiced by Inka Shamans will be able to heal and empower your lives, children, and communities. Here’s a brief description of the training program.

Inka Medicine People have mastered practical ways to effectively heal, transform and envision the human experience in accordance with the principles of Heaven and Earth. These ancient maps teaches us to engage reality through heart-centered processes,securing optimal conditions for wellbeing, creativity, equilibrium and light. For thousands of years, a Cosmovision of Power and Healing has been used effectively to attain maximum benefit in the course of one’s life. Inka Pachas, or archetypal expressions of time and space through which life evolves and comes into full circle, is a four fold path to personal healing and empowerment. We learn the way of the shaman and track the Kausay or vital force that propels our journey in order to understand our imprints, wounds, behaviors, karma, potentials, vision, and ultimately our transcendence.

This Peruvian based training series has been carefully structured to bring you tools, insights, and visionary skills.The Cosmology for Empowerment Series consists of 4 training sessions. The first deals with the memories of the soul, our individual and collective past. We learn the ways of the land, the ways of the Great Mother as we retrieve long lost soul pieces. As we recover our wounded past, through animistic ceremonies, we break free from the bindings of our imprints and patterns.

The second class teaches you the nature of perception and the Shaman’s way of seeing. Through the mastery of hypnagogic states, we are able to summon the memories of our healed states. We learn to map our healing, transformation, and embodiment of power.

In the third class we explore the nature of time, of existence, of fulfillment. We learn to awaken to the knowledge that resides in our luminous bodies and break free from our limiting belief systems. Using tracking modalities we learn to navigate in different realms of consciousness and become familiar with the mystery teachings and spirit guides.

The last session deals with the nature of Life and Death. We explore our individual and collective guiding mythologies and the big transitions of our human journey. We learn the subtleties of energy as we develop our own medicine body connected to the powers of the shaman’s animated altar.

Through this training we create a Mesa or Medicine Bundle that becomes our map of transformation and healing through the medicine path. A powerful body of knowledge, Ritual, Healing Techniques, and Rites of Passage become the axis of a strong medicine body. This learning program will take place in a healthy environment surrounded by natural settings. Lectures, experiential exercises and discussion are part of the core curricula. The program is geared around small group participation to promote community and to provide maximum benefits for growth and empowerment. It is recommended that you take the sessions in sequential order.

In Spirit,
