Before your ketamine session, we’ll meet with yo

Before your ketamine session, we’ll meet with you in our Winnicott room, named after our favorite British Psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. Two of our trained facilitators will join you in a “dialogic meeting” to help you contemplate and conceptualize your goals. Dialogic work is a form of deep inquiry in which the two facilitators reflect to each other based on their experience of you in the moment and prompt you to dive more deeply into your thoughts, based on your initial selection of images placed in front of you. Our aim is to help you deepen your own curiosity about your intention in a way that is highly individualized and reflective of your unique experience.

Influenced by a Finnish model called Open Dialogue, our facilitators are trained to avoid the certitude of expert formulations, analysis, and diagnosis in order to create the right environment for improvisational and the emergence of deep dialogues to occur. 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”.

Research on human change shows that real and susta

Research on human change shows that real and sustained healing begins by looking beyond disease labels to a person’s unique relationship with their suffering.

We fear ketamine treatment is provided in a way that increasingly ignores this fact, focusing instead on medical diagnoses and quick-fix solutions through pharmaceuticals: it’s the age-old pitch of calling you “broken,” then offering a miracle cure.

We don’t focus on your labels, we don’t see you as diseased, and we certainly don’t promise any magic bullets. Our signature model focuses on your courage in the face of your challenges, and your humanity in your suffering as we walk beside you on your path towards growth.

Welcome to Cardea Space. Our unique interiors were

Welcome to Cardea Space. Our unique interiors were carefully designed by artist @randypolumbo . Randy has designed and built Cardea’s Tribeca Ketamine Space in New York City to enhance the calming, novel and imaginative environment for transformative experiences. The space’s design materializes Cardea’s concept of “radical hospitality,” which places the guest and their goals at the visual, tactile, and acoustical center of the experience. All sensory interactions have been considered, from lighting, sound, scents and textures, leading each moment of a journey to a new discovery.

We don’t always experience ourselves as alive an

We don’t always experience ourselves as alive and we don’t always appreciate the life in others. In fact, days can go by in which our lives feel deadened, closed-off, or empty. Luckily, there is a very human process that brings us to life and opens us to others, one in which psychedelics can aid us. This practice has been performed by our species since we first painted the walls of caves.

It’s play.

Think of a child playing with her toys and you’ll see just how serious this business of play is. While playing, a child becomes enrapt in her senses, focused, and “in flow,” all the while animating her toys, taking what is wooden and bringing it to life. She also feels deeply connected to the toy. The same is true in all kinds of adult encounters too: in good conversations, in collaborative work, cultural pursuits, artmaking, lovemaking, and just plain making, play brings us closer to ourselves and to others.

All our methods at Cardea aim to bring our guests into a state of play, since we think play is at the very root of change. Whether its making free flowing art together prior to our group ketamine sessions, or engaging in our dialogic process prior to our one-on-one treatments, we are helping our guests reach a state of play.

Play is the marrow of compassion, an essential element of cooperation and innovation, and it’s what we are doing when we contemplate. To play is to be liberated. In this, it’s a whole lot more than “fun.”

Depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction treatmen

Depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction treatments using psychedelics have become increasingly widespread, and enthusiasm among therapists and wellness professionals is growing at a rapid pace.

Unfortunately these treatments are often so expensive that they’re beyond the reach of large numbers of frontline individuals who dedicate their lives to helping others —individuals whose jobs often result in burnout, extreme stress, and vicarious trauma.

The mission of The Further Fund is trifold: to provide ketamine treatment for free to a wide variety of frontline care professionals who are positively impacting their communities; to hasten the healing impact of the psychedelic movement by training professionals in psychedelic therapies; and to support organizations who do good in the world.

If you’re a first responder, doctor, nurse, social welfare advocate, counselor, case manager, therapist, or other addiction or behavioral health professional in non-profit or government agency, who are suffering from the inevitable burnout, stress, and trauma caused by your work, and could benefit from the healing potential of ketamine assisted therapy, please apply today through our link in bio!
