Welcome Home Retreat
The voyage back to self…
Through the journey of life and the many titles you have held over time; somewhere you have lost sight of yourself. You constantly show up for people, but it’s not always reciprocated. You also struggle to show up for yourself in the same way that you do for others. This retreat is the reset you need! It is a four-day weekend, limited to four guests. This is a village that will be curated before you arrive with the intention to remain connected long after you leave.
I know what it costs to wear masks. Most of the time you aren’t even aware that you are wearing a mask. My own ketamine journey gave me a release, a clarity, and a confidence I still can't fully put into words. More than anything, it felt like meeting myself again and validating who I KNEW I was this entire time. I can't promise you my experience. What I can promise is the space, the safety, and the people for your own voyage back.
You have carried so much for so long that carrying is just what you do now. You hold the family together. You hold the job down. You hold the invisible work that goes unnoticed. Every morning, you put it on (the mask). Maybe yours is the people pleaser who can't say no. The perfectionist who can't let anything be seen unfinished. The strong one who handles it, whatever it is. The one who pours a drink, or scrolls for hours, or stays busy, anything to quiet the noise. The masks are not your enemy. They have kept you safe and functional. That was their job. But underneath all of them is a self you haven't heard from in years, and some part of you knows that, or you wouldn't still be reading.
Now picture this. Being in nature and nobody needs anything from you. A space where you can sit with your journal while the morning opens up. Trails to walk when your body wants to move. Water to sink into when it wants to be still. Your own room. Your own bed. A door you can close. And a small circle of people where the mask can come off, because nobody here is wearing theirs either.
Inside that space, over one long weekend, you'll move through two Ketamine medicine sessions with me and a trained support person beside you the whole time. Around those sessions we'll breathe together, journal with intention, rest, play a little, and connect. Some of the deepest work will happen lying down with your headphones on. Some of it will happen at the dinner table, barefaced.
If ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is new to you, start with my KAP page, then come back. This retreat is that same journey but with a village.
Let me paint a picture…
Who is this for?
This retreat is for people who have already started the healing work but somewhere the path still feels blocked. You've sat on the therapy couch. You've read the books, tried to set the boundaries, taken the medication… and that helped some, but not enough. If you're healing from complex trauma, or carrying anxiety or depression that talk therapy and medication haven't fully reached, this is the exact gap KAP exists for.
It's for the caretakers and the strong friends. It’s for the one who is ready to try something different because mainstream options have only gotten you so far. The ones everybody calls and nobody checks on.
Black women are the heart and the center of everything I build, and this space is created with you in mind first. Also holding in mind that healing belongs to anyone who seeks it regardless of identity. Whoever you are, whatever mask you've been wearing, if this page is speaking to you, the door is open.
In all honesty: This not for everyone. Every guest completes a full medical screening with Journey Clinical's licensed medical team, and not everyone is approved. This is not a party, not an escape, and not a shortcut. It is real therapeutic work in a beautiful place, with people who understand the road because they're walking it too.
Building a Village
I believe it takes a village to be human. Most of us were never given one. So here, we build it. It is hard to take a mask off in front of strangers. That's exactly why you won't be strangers.
Your cohort is four people. Not forty. Four. Before anyone packs a bag, each of you meets with me one on one, so I know you and you know me. Once Journey Clinical's medical team approves you, your cohort gathers twice, in person or virtually, to start leaning into each other. You'll also share a private group chat from the very beginning; forming the village.
So when you walk into the room on that first day, you are not four people showing up to a program. You are a village arriving at its gathering place. Everyone in your circle has been screened, prepared, and pointed in the same direction. Everyone understands the voyage, because they're on it too.
The Journey
-
Your voyage begin and your cohort comes together. This what you can expect:
We talk, one on one. About you, your story, and whether this voyage is right for you.
Referral to Journey Clinical. Their licensed medical team completes your screening and confirms KAP is safe for you.
Once approved, your intake session. We go deeper; preparing you for the medicine, the work, and what to expect.
Two cohort gatherings. You meet your village, in person or virtually, and the group chat opens.
-
Day One: You arrive in the evening, and the first words you hear are the name of this whole experience: welcome home. We connect, we lean in, and we ground. You settle into your own room, unpack, and exhale. Nothing is asked of you tonight except to arrive. Keep in mind that you have complete autonomy to move through the weekend however you need.
-
Day Two: Our first medicine session. You will have your own head phones to connect to the playlists that I've curated for the journey. You will have support beside you the whole time. After, you will have time to rest, journal, have an integrations session with me, and possibly a group hike. That evening, we play! This night is themed, and you'll know the theme before you come.
-
Day Three: Our second medicine session. This day will be wrapped in self-care. A wellness session which could include: a sound bath, yoga, breath work or intentional movement. In the evening, we close the weekend together with a group dinner.
-
Day Four: Your journey home. We depart in the morning, intentionally leaving the remainder of the day to acclimate back into your routine with your recent experience in mind. If you can take a day off, take it. The landing is part of the voyage.
-
One week later, we meet virtually to check in. Then we continue meeting, connecting and checking in one time per month on a group call for the next three months. You will also have a follow up session with me two weeks after the retreat. The group chat stays open. From your first cohort gathering to months past the retreat, this was never a weekend with a hard stop. It's a season of coming home to yourself, with a weekend at the center of it.
All Meals Provided
You will not cook. You will not plan. You will not stand in anybody's kitchen making sure everyone else is fed. For one weekend, you are the one being served.
Every meal is taken care of, and the menu follows the medicine. Early in the weekend things stay light and clean, with fresh juices and nourishment chosen to honor the work your body is doing. Heartier options are always on hand for anyone whose body or medical needs call for more. Before you arrive, I'll invite you to eat lightly or fast so you come in clear. Remember, it's an invitation, never a requirement.
Your doctor's guidance always comes first. Never stop or change a medication, or change how you eat, on my say so. You follow your medical team. Always.
Before you say “yes”
Not everyone is approved. Journey Clinical's licensed medical team screens every guest, and their decision protects you. If KAP isn't safe for you, I will help you find what is.
Ketamine is not magic. It can open a window, and what comes through is sometimes tender, sometimes heavy, and sometimes not what you expected. That is exactly why the preparation, the support person, the integration, and the village exist.
You are supported the entire time. I am present through every medicine session, and so is a trained support person. No one sits in this experience alone.
Plan for rest, not performance. There's no driving after medicine sessions, and I'll ask you to give yourself soft landings on both ends of the weekend.
I can't promise you my outcome. I can promise you my presence, my preparation, and a container built with care.
How to Join
Cohorts are small because the work is deep. Four seats. That's it. When dates open, the interest list hears first, before I say a word about it anywhere else.
1. Join the interest list. You'll be the first to know when doors open.
2. We talk, one on one. A real conversation about you, your story, and whether this voyage is right for your healing.
3. Medical screening with Journey Clinical. Their licensed team confirms KAP is safe for you.
4. The village forms. Two cohort gatherings, the group chat opens, and the voyage begins long before you pack.
Joining the list is not a commitment and doesn't guarantee a seat. It simply means you hear first. The Next Cohort launches late spring 2027.
