Join us at Cardea Space on October 17th for a Therapist open house! This will be a chance for all professionals in the Behavioral Health field to explore the Lascaux Method in depth with its founder, Ross Ellenhorn, and experience our dialogic techniques firsthand in our unique space. This event is free with limited capacity. Reserve your spot now!

The Lascaux Method is a short-term ketamine-assisted psychotherapy approach that integrates therapeutic principles with carefully guided ketamine sessions, all aimed at creating a fertile space for healing and expanding aliveness through a concept we call Play.

At Cardea, we see ketamine and psychedelic experiences in general, as a “key to a key.” They assist in helping us gain access to a sense of aliveness, in both ourselves and in others.

Our practice approach is most strongly influenced by a Finnish model called Open Dialogue and the “dialogic” process it initiated. In this approach, the therapist’s job is to avoid the certainty of expert formulations, analysis, and diagnosis in order to create the right environment for play. Working this way, we offer an innovative approach to an “old school” ethos, since we see psychotherapy as it was originally intended: an improvisational art form helping people contemplate “problems of living” rather than an attempt to remove symptoms surgically.

Our intention is to provide our guests with a chance to reconnect with their innate vitality and inherent ability to perceive the dynamic life in others; to feel more related to their relationships; to embrace head-on the life-enhancing potential of uncertainty; and to embark on a transformative journey of personal growth. The way to get there is to unleash the playful elements practiced in the best of psychotherapies and turn up the volume on these while seeing ketamine as an ally in this process, helping people open up to novelty and uncertainty, and a sense that their experience of themselves and others is ready to be sculpted into something new.

Enjoy light bites, drinks, and conversation. We will guide guests through their own Dialogic experience and of course, answer any questions about our methods.

Hope to see you there!
