SUMMARY:Cardea Salon Series: We Are All Aging – Let’s End Ageism with Ashton Applewhite
DESCRIPTION:We Are All Aging – Let’s End Ageism \nFrom childhood on\, we’re barraged by messages that it’s sad to be old. That wrinkles are embarrassing\, and old people useless. Author and activist Ashton Applewhite believed them too\, until she figured out where this prejudice comes from and the damage it does. In this provocative\, funny\, and deeply informed talk\, Applewhite explains the roots of ageism—in society and in our own age denial—and how it divides and diminishes us. Applewhite sets out the personal and professional consequences (especially for women)\, shows how ageist myths and stereotypes harm our health and well-being\, critiques the portrayal of olders as burdens to society\, describes what an all-age-friendly world would look like\, and concludes with a rousing call to action. Whether you’re older or hoping to get there\, this talk will cheer you up\, shake you by the shoulders\, and change the way you think about the years ahead. \n \nAn internationally recognized expert on ageism\, Ashton Applewhite is the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism and a co-founder of the Old School Anti-Ageism Clearinghouse. She speaks widely at venues that have included the United Nations and the TED mainstage\, and is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and make age a criterion for diversity. In 2022 the United Nations named Ashton one of the Healthy Aging 50: fifty leaders transforming the world to be a better place to grow older. \nAll ticket proceeds will be donated to Cardea’s non-profit The Furthur Fund. Please consider donating. \n \nCardea Space is an innovative approach to growth\, healing\, and transformation\, guided by leading practitioners in the psychedelic and psychotherapeutic arts\, using space holding techniques coupled with ketamine\, arts\, and dialogue. Experts in holding the right space for change\, 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. Cardea’s mission is to support social change and make ketamine therapy accessible. Through their privately funded non-profit arm\, The Furthur Fund\, they have treated over 90 frontline care professionals who are positively impacting their communities. We hope to hasten the healing impact of the psychedelic movement by training these professionals in psychedelic therapies and we want to support organizations who do good in the world. We serve first responders\, climate change activist\, social workers\, shelter managers\, EMTs\, and other professionals who suffer from the inevitable burnout and trauma caused by their work. We also train members of this group in providing psychedelic-assisted care. Support the mission or apply today!

SUMMARY:Cardea Salon Series: The Captive Imagination with Dr. Elias Dakwar
DESCRIPTION:In this part-experiential group discussion\, we will explore the diverse relationships that are possible with psychoactive drugs. We will also inquire into why some relationships predispose to harm\, while other relationships – even with the same drug – might be liberating\, therapeutic\, or illuminating. A final discussion will touch on the centrality of imagination\, creativity\, and fluidity in our fruitful engagement with these drugs\, and explore ways we might heighten our capacity for skillful drug-taking. \n \nElias Dakwar is an associate professor of psychiatry at Columbia University and practicing psychiatrist in New York City. His research includes investigation of novel treatments for addiction\, with a focus on combining contemplative practices\, medicines\, and psychotherapy. Dr. Dakwar completed a fellowship in Addiction Psychiatry at Columbia and received a K23 award evaluating the ketamine infusions combined with mindfulness training to treat cocaine use disorders. Most recently\, he is a principal investigator on several R01s evaluating ketamine for induction onto extended-release naltrexone for opioid use disorder as well as ketamine infusion to facilitate treatment for cocaine use disorder and alcohol use disorder. \nAll ticket proceeds will be donated to Cardea’s non-profit The Furthur Fund.

SUMMARY:Cardea's Lascaux Method -  Facilitator Training for Psychedelic-Assisted Care - 5 Weeks
DESCRIPTION:An Immersive Facilitator Training for Psychedelic-Assisted Care and Group Ketamine Session led by Co-Founder\, Dr. Ross Ellenhorn.\n \nBecome Certified in The Lascaux Method! \nWith decades of experience in psychedelic\, psychiatric and psychotherapeutic practices\, Cardea invites those seeking a deeper way to hold space through our custom training. Whether you’re a psychedelic facilitator\,  therapist\, teacher\, counselor\, or just looking to develop skills to deepen your relationship with yourself or others\, this training is for you. \nINTRODUCTION\nAt Cardea we believe that the quality of a psychedelic experience depends on what’s called a “holding environment\,” the way in which people comfort and contain a person during the experience. We also believe that holding people in this way is an art\, requiring just as much skill\, practice and training as any artform. Holding begins at your first interaction with a client\, the preparation for the session\, and through the post journey experience of meaning making. \nIn this training we focus predominantly on the art of holding before and after the psychedelic experience. And we offer an innovative way of doing so\, in which an experience of play and aliveness are the goal. This 5 week immersive and intimate training will give you a unique opportunity to learn the Cardea’s Lascaux Method of space holding directly from the founder Dr. Ross Ellenhorn. \nRoss has spent 30+ years researching and developing a care model of helping individuals reach higher levels of realness\, connectedness and play in their lives\, his most recent books on this subject published by HarperCollins.  \nWhether you are looking to gain more training as a psychedelic facilitator\, are a therapist\, teacher\, counselor\, or just looking to develop skills to deepen your relationship with yourself or others\, this training is for you. \nTo learn more and reserve your spot\, schedule a free consultation. Capacity is limited to 10 participants. \n  \n \n\nWHAT TO EXPECT\n\n\nInitial Consultation and 1 on 1 Dr. Ross Ellenhorn prior to the start of training to help us learn what you’re looking for and determine if this is a good fit you. \n\n\nA deep dive into the origins of “Dialogic” psychotherapy that influenced the Cardea’s Lascaux Method from the creator and founder Dr. Ross Ellenhorn. \n\n\nAmple opportunity for each participant to practice our methods together and received real time feedback from Ross Ellenhorn and Clinical Director Zach Rieck. \n\n\nThe option to engage in a group ketamine treatment experience on the final day of training where all the skills learned will be used in practice. \n\n\nIntimate experience with individualized attention to help you hone your skills with a maximum capacity of only 10 participants in the cohort. \n\n\n15 hours of training + 3 hour ketamine session (hybrid). \n\n\nOption to gain hands on experience with real clients at Cardea Space upon completion of the training. \n\n\nLascaux Method Certification for Preparation and Integration of Psychedelic-Assisted Care \n\n\nTRAINING SCHEDULE\n\nSunday\, Sept 29th: 10am – 6pm – Orientation & Overview (in person at 511 Canal St)\nTuesday\, Oct 8th: 6pm – 7pm – Practice Session (virtual)\nTuesday\, Oct 15th: 6pm – 7pm – Practice Session (virtual)\nTuesday\, Oct 22nd: 6-7pm – Practice Session (virtual)\nSunday\, Oct 27th: 10am – 6pm – Group Ketamine & Closing Ceremony (in person at 511 Canal St)\n\nEXCHANGE\n$2\,100 \n\nIncludes 1 on 1 meeting with Ross Ellenhorn prior to training\nIncludes virtual Medical Assessment with our prescribing doctor\nIncludes 15 hours of training + 3 hour ketamine session\nDoes not include cost of the nasal spray medicine (~$100) paid directly to pharmacy\n\n*payment plans available through CareCredit. Inquire on consultation. \n  \n \n  \nABOUT THE TRAINER\nRoss Ellenhorn\, LICSW\, Ph.D\nLead Trainer – Ross Ellenhorn serves as the owner and CEO of Ellenhorn\, a psychiatric recovery program\, and is the co-founder of Cardea\, a psychedelic-based growth and recovery program\, with offices in New York City and retreats in Jamaica. An author of three books on human change\, his latest work\, “Purple Crayons: The Art of Drawing a Life\,” published by Harper Collins\, emphasizes the significance of play in human experience and its potential as a gift of modernity. Ross challenges the prevailing trend of standardization in human transformation\, critiquing the evolution of therapy from an improvisational art form to a push for normalization and sameness. Rejecting such standards\, he endeavors to heal the wounds of “problem saturation\,” wherein individuals feel defined by their issues rather than their inherent vitality. Advocating for an authentic\, artistic existence\, Ross rejects societal expectations in all his endeavors and will be central to the Lascaux Training. Visit his website to learn more.  \nZach Rieck\, LCSW \nAssistant Trainer – Zach Rieck is a Clinical Social Worker\, licensed in the state of New York. He is a graduate of Tulane University with a BA in Philosophy\, and of Rutgers University with a Master of Social Work. He completed an intensive Ketamine assisted psychotherapy training through Polaris. Zach previously worked for 3.5 years at Ellenhorn LLC\, a Program for Assertive Community Treatment\, with a team of clinicians using a model that focuses on the trauma experienced by people who have been diagnosed as suffering with psychiatric symptoms. Employing a compassionate Harm Reduction model\, he acted as the Integrative Dual Diagnosis Therapy Coordinator for the program’s New York City location\, supervising all cases involving clients in complicated relationships to substances. Zach has also worked for 3 years in a harm reduction setting with BronxWorks\, providing therapeutic services to clients in frequent extreme states of mind and mood. His caseload consisted of clients with a history of chronic street homelessness. He has over 13 years of experience within psychedelic communities as an advocate and proponent of psychedelic harm reduction. Zach also maintains a caseload of private therapy clients. Zach has focused his work on supporting individuals who have been harmed by the medical model of mental health. His therapeutic style is born from an acknowledgment of the vastness of the human experience and the sacredness of the individual within their community. His passion is caring for people who have become isolated due to the harmful stigma generated by prevailing ideas around mental illness. Zach is interested in supporting and bearing witness to a shift from the guilt and shame of being “mentally ill” or “broken\,” to an empowered stance which honors the reasonable pain of operating within systems which cut us off from meaning and purpose. \n \n\nCardea is dedicated to assisting individuals in their recovery from deep psychological anguish and supporting those seeking an awakened life. We believe that breaking free from standardized living and embracing uncertainty and novelty are key to personal growth and well-being. Join us as we explore the limitless possibilities for self-knowledge and increased wellness through the fusion of psychedelic-assisted therapy\, ketamine care\, and acupuncture.

SUMMARY:Unveiling the Science of Ketamine: A Deep Dive into Hamilton's Pharmacopeia
DESCRIPTION:RSVP here! \nJoin us for a thought-provoking exploration of ketamine and its impact on modern medicine and culture lead by Hamilto Morris\, a scientist and journalist who blends scientific rigor with storytelling to explore and explain the complexities of psychoactive substances and their effects on both individuals and society. Hamilton will take us through various topics including: \n\nKetamine’s Pharmacology: Delve into the biochemical mechanisms behind ketamine and its unique effects compared to other substances.\nTherapeutic Uses: Explore the potential medical applications of ketamine\, including its role in treating depression\, PTSD\, and chronic pain.\nCultural and Historical Context: Understand the history of ketamine\, its journey from anesthetic to a substance of interest in psychedelic therapy.\nContemporary Challenges: Examine the regulatory\, ethical\, and societal challenges surrounding ketamine’s use in both clinical and recreational contexts.\n\nThis event offers a chance to participate in an intimate salon style discussion to gain insights about ketamine’s evolving role in medicine and society while engaging in a dynamic conversation about the substance’s therapeutic potential and broader implications. \nHamilton Morris is an American writer\, scientific researcher\, documentarian\, and psychonaut who is best known as a writer for Vice magazine and as the host of the television show Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia. Hamilton attended The New School in New York City\, where he studied anthropology and science. He frequently consults with media on the subject of psychoactive drugs and conducts pharmacological research at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. Morris’s documentaries and articles have played an essential role in thepsychedelic renaissance\,a modern movement that seeks to re-evaluate the role of psychedelics in society and explore their potential therapeutic applications. As a journalist he blends scientific rigor with storytelling to explore and explain the complexities of psychoactive substances and their effects on both individuals and society.By presenting well-researched\, unbiased\, and accessible information about psychoactive substances\, Morris helps to counteract the stigma and misinformation that has historically surrounded these drugs. \nHis work has encouraged scientific research into the therapeutic potential of psychedelics and contributed to the growing public interest in this field. This shift in perception has led to increased funding for research and a more open-minded approach to psychedelic-assisted therapies\, which show promise in treating mental health conditions such as depression\, anxiety\, and post-traumatic stress disorder . \nAll ticket proceeds will be donated to Cardea’s non-profit. Please consider donating. \nCardea Space is an innovative approach to growth\, healing\, and transformation\, guided by leading practitioners in the psychedelic and psychotherapeutic arts\, using space holding techniques coupled with ketamine\, arts\, and dialogue.

SUMMARY:Live Sound Guided Group Ketamine Session
DESCRIPTION:Live Sound Guided Group Ketamine Journey\n  \nThe Cardea team and its unique Ketamine Space provide a safe and supportive environment for exploration and transformation. Our facilitators and sound practitioners will guide you through this unique fusion of therapies\, offering their insights\, wisdom\, and compassionate care\, while holding space for you to have your own individualized and self-directed journey. \nSchedule a FREE consultation to discuss the session in more detail with the Cardea team: \n \nWHAT TO EXPECT\nIntroductory Call\nYou will begin with a 30-minute introductory session with one of the space holders. This is a time for us to begin the process of getting to know you and understand your interest and intentions. We will share more information about the group experience and answer any questions you may have. If it feels like a good fit\, we will schedule a medical intake session and send you some intake paperwork through our client portal. \nMedical Intake Session\nYou will then meet virtually with our doctor for a medical intake session where we will explore your medical and mental health history with you to ensure a safe and therapeutic process. At this point\, if there aren’t any unresolvable contraindications\, our doctor will write you a prescription for a ketamine nasal spray which will be delivered to your home prior to the first session. You will need to bring your prescription with you to each group. \nThe Group Experience – Here’s How It Works: \n\n1. Open the Portal: With the guidance of a licensed therapist\, we’ll gather around a blank canvas and together create pressure-free flowing art. Afterward\, we invite guests to share reflections and intentions as they relate to the experience. This playful use of our imagination and improvisation creates a state of openness\, curiosity\, and connection to help prepare you for the ketamine session. \n2. Gather in the Grotto: Our hour-long ceremonies take place in a specially curated room created for psychedelic therapies\, where each guest has a designated space to lay down and get comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets. Once everyone self-administers their ketamine nasal spray\, the group will receive live vibrational sounds from our experienced sound facilitators\, to deepen the experience. Eye masks will be provided and are strongly encouraged to be worn throughout the session. \n3. Process after the Journey: Honoring this communitas\, we invite everyone to gather in our recovery lounge over fruit and tea as they begin to explore their shared\, yet inward experience. We also allow quiet space for solitude for those who’d like to remain in their processes. Cardea provides an additional integration opportunity the following week in an hour-long virtual session facilitated by a licensed therapist. \n4. Ongoing integration: We believe change and growth don’t happen in isolation\, but in the container of relationship. We want to promote connection between individuals\, ideas\, and communities. Our weekly virtual integration group is a place to breathe life into the work you’ve done at Cardea and beyond\, and to be held by a collective. We hold this weekly integration group virtually each Wednesday evening\, from 7-8pm. It’s an open group available to all our clients. You do not need to sign up in advance and you can join as frequently as you want. It will be facilitated each week by Zach Rieck\, LCSW\, our Clinical Director. \n\nTUITION\nSession Fee: $350.00 \nMedical Fee: $100.00 \nNasal Spray: $100.00 \n  \nSchedule a FREE consultation to discuss the session in more detail with the Cardea team: \n \n\nCardea is dedicated to assisting individuals in their recovery from deep psychological anguish and supporting those seeking an awakened life.

SUMMARY:Live Sound Guided Group Ketamine Session
DESCRIPTION:Live Sound Guided Group Ketamine Journey\n  \nThe Cardea team and its unique Ketamine Space provide a safe and supportive environment for exploration and transformation. Our facilitators and sound practitioners will guide you through this unique fusion of therapies\, offering their insights\, wisdom\, and compassionate care\, while holding space for you to have your own individualized and self-directed journey. \nSchedule a FREE consultation to discuss the session in more detail with the Cardea team: \n \nWHAT TO EXPECT\nIntroductory Call\nYou will begin with a 30-minute introductory session with one of the space holders. This is a time for us to begin the process of getting to know you and understand your interest and intentions. We will share more information about the group experience and answer any questions you may have. If it feels like a good fit\, we will schedule a medical intake session and send you some intake paperwork through our client portal. \nMedical Intake Session\nYou will then meet virtually with our doctor for a medical intake session where we will explore your medical and mental health history with you to ensure a safe and therapeutic process. At this point\, if there aren’t any unresolvable contraindications\, our doctor will write you a prescription for a ketamine nasal spray which will be delivered to your home prior to the first session. You will need to bring your prescription with you to each group. \nThe Group Experience – Here’s How It Works: \n\n1. Open the Portal: With the guidance of a licensed therapist\, we’ll gather around a blank canvas and together create pressure-free flowing art. Afterward\, we invite guests to share reflections and intentions as they relate to the experience. This playful use of our imagination and improvisation creates a state of openness\, curiosity\, and connection to help prepare you for the ketamine session. \n2. Gather in the Grotto: Our hour-long ceremonies take place in a specially curated room created for psychedelic therapies\, where each guest has a designated space to lay down and get comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets. Once everyone self-administers their ketamine nasal spray\, the group will receive live vibrational sounds from our experienced sound facilitators\, to deepen the experience. Eye masks will be provided and are strongly encouraged to be worn throughout the session. \n3. Process after the Journey: Honoring this communitas\, we invite everyone to gather in our recovery lounge over fruit and tea as they begin to explore their shared\, yet inward experience. We also allow quiet space for solitude for those who’d like to remain in their processes. Cardea provides an additional integration opportunity the following week in an hour-long virtual session facilitated by a licensed therapist. \n4. Ongoing integration: We believe change and growth don’t happen in isolation\, but in the container of relationship. We want to promote connection between individuals\, ideas\, and communities. Our weekly virtual integration group is a place to breathe life into the work you’ve done at Cardea and beyond\, and to be held by a collective. We hold this weekly integration group virtually each Wednesday evening\, from 7-8pm. It’s an open group available to all our clients. You do not need to sign up in advance and you can join as frequently as you want.

SUMMARY:Group Ketamine with Acupuncture
DESCRIPTION:A Session Combining Ketamine-Assisted Care and Acupuncture Treatment\nWith Zach Rieck\, LCSW and Margie Navarro\, LAc\nTUITION\nSession Fee: $350.00\nMedical Fee: $100.00 \nWelcome to an extraordinary event that combines the power of ketamine-assisted care with the ancient art of acupuncture. \nThe therapeutic force of ketamine comes from its ability to help you open up a little – or a lot\, giving you the capacity to see the world differently and adding some nimbleness to your thoughts. \nAcupuncture works on a mind-body level and pairs well with psychedelic experiences. The benefits of a group acupuncture session stem from the synergy of people collectively receiving treatment along with the effects of the individualized point selections. After the ketamine experience\, everyone will have an opportunity to share a few words about what they are feeling in their body or something they’d like acupuncture to help them work through. Afterward\, Margie takes each participant’s pulse and selects fitting acupuncture points. Acupuncture treatment will take place during the “recovery” hour after the ketamine experience. \nThe Cardea team and its unique Ketamine Space provide a safe and supportive environment for exploration and transformation. Zach and Marjorie will guide you through this unique fusion of therapies\, offering their insights\, wisdom\, and compassionate care\, while holding space for you to have your own individualized and self-directed journey. \nSchedule a FREE consultation to discuss the session in more detail with the Cardea team: \n \nWHAT TO EXPECT\nIntroductory Call\nYou will begin with a 30-minute introductory session with one of the space holders.

You will need to bring your prescription with you to each group. \nThe Group Experience\nAt Cardea\, we believe that human growth and transformation are improvisational events\, each person’s emergence a unique journey. Prior to the ketamine experience\, we’ll engage in a group creative process using a method aimed to evoke curiosity\, reflection\, and artistic expression. During the group ketamine session\, you’ll be invited to get comfortable in your designated space in our group room. We’ll provide an eye mask for you to wear\, and our space holders will provide all necessary instructions. Our sound practitioner will play live vibrational sound throughout your hour-long experience. \nABOUT THE PRACTITIONERS\nZach Rieck\, LCSW \nZach holds the position of Clinical Director at Cardea\, where he serves as both lead psychotherapist and guide for the Ketamine Care program.

SUMMARY:Planetarium: An Immersive Hi-Fidelity Sound Experience at Omega Institute
DESCRIPTION:Explore the inner cosmos in a new deep listening experience\, a collaboration between Omega and Planetarium\, with vintage hi-fidelity audio.\nPlanetarium is a deep listening event series run by the creators and artists behind Nowadays\, Mister Saturday Night\, and Mister Sunday in New York City. We set up a hi-fidelity sound system in a special location\, invite you to bring pillows\, blankets\, sleeping bags\, and anything else you need to get comfortable\, and present music to explore the inner cosmos. \nTUITION\nMember: $380.00\nStandard: $425.00 \n \n\n\n  \nFor those who wish to attend but require a lower financial burden\, please use promo code WELCOME. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis weekend retreat at Omega Institute\, our first-ever long-form excursion\, will begin on Friday night with a performance from 7038634357\, aka Neo Gibson\, an artist whose 2023 album\, Neo Seven\, has been hailed as a masterpiece of modern electronic and ambient music. In the words of Pitchfork\, Neo “makes music that feels simple on the surface—wistfully nostalgic\, with imagistic titles and childlike themes—yet harbors more ambiguous emotions in its hidden depths.” \nOn Saturday morning\, we start the day in conversation with Dimitri Mugianis\, who speaks on the binding\, healing powers of music\, creativity\, community\, and care. \nWe reconvene in the late afternoon for an 8-hour deep listening session led by Justin Carter\, the cofounder of Planetarium. Justin will play full albums and sides\, allowing for silence between songs and records\, revealing intimacy in the music and the space. \nAs part of the 8-hour session\, Dimitri will perform live with browndevin\, sharing a musical practice with vibrational instruments that Dimitri has developed over his 20 years as a psychedelic facilitator and that browndevin has developed through his own sound healing practices as well as work on stage with artists such as Pharrell Williams and The Roots. \nAfter the extended session\, we walk together to the Sanctuary at the summit of Omega to experience a sound bath held by Rena Anakwe. Rena’s practice incorporates traditional vibrational instruments with modern electronic equipment\, as well as scent\, activating the olfactory in ways that heighten the sonic experience. After Rena’s sound bath\, we head outside and close the night with stargazing. \nOn Sunday morning\, before we depart\, new age pioneer Laraaji sends us off with a meditative opening to inner laughter through guided chanting and laughter exercises\, a final opportunity to deeply listen to ourselves and each other. \nAll amplified sound for the weekend will be on a combination of contemporary and vintage audio equipment that is either an example of\, or in the tradition of\, the great hi-fidelity technology of the 1920s through the 1950s – Western Electric and RCA theater systems and playback equipment designed by EMT.

SUMMARY:The Art of Play: What Play Can Teach Us About Psychedelics with Dr. Ross Ellenhorn
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Ross Ellenhorn PhD\, for an evening of play discussion on what Play can teach us about psychedelics. \nTickets Here  <- A percentage of ticket proceeds will be donated to Cardea’s non-profit The Furthur Fund. \n \nDrugs like MDMA and psilocybin are being ushered into mainstream medicine\, promoted as miracle cures for a host of psychiatric woes. But as psychedelics come to be seen as treatments for various types of psychological suffering\, we are overlooking one of their most precious offerings: the potential for play. \n\n\nThrough play\, the invisible landscapes of our inner lives merge with the visible world we all perceive in our own unique ways. When we play\, we always play with someone or something: it’s always a relationship: an encounter. And in this\, and so much more\, play is the Marrow of our compassion. To not play? Well\, the best word for that is alienation: the estrangement from our own power to summon life in ourselves and an estrangement from other living beings. To exist as if everything is same as it ever was\, same as it ever was\, same as it ever was. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Ross Ellenhorn PhD\nDr. Ross Ellenhorn serves as the owner and CEO of Ellenhorn\, a psychiatric recovery program\, and is the co-founder of Cardea\, a psychedelic-based growth and recovery program\, with offices in New York City and retreats in Jamaica. An author of three books on human change\, his latest work\, “Purple Crayons: The Art of Drawing a Life\,” published by Harper Collins\, emphasizes the significance of play in human experience and its potential as a gift of modernity. \nRoss challenges the prevailing trend of standardization in human transformation\, critiquing the evolution of therapy from an improvisational art form to a push for normalization and sameness. Rejecting such standards\, he endeavors to heal the wounds of “problem saturation\,” wherein individuals feel defined by their issues rather than their inherent vitality. Advocating for an authentic\, artistic existence\, Ross rejects societal expectations in all his endeavors and will be central to the “Art of Play” event and discussion. \nHis recent article in Time Magazine underscores the need for a play-oriented approach to psychedelic-assisted therapies. He frequently speaks nationwide on the relationship between play and experiences of aliveness and authenticity in people’s lives. \nVisit his website to learn more. \n\n\n\n\nCardea Space is an innovative approach to growth\, healing\, and transformation\, guided by leading practitioners in the psychedelic and psychotherapeutic arts\, using space holding techniques coupled with ketamine\, arts\, and dialogue. Experts in holding the right space for change\, 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. Cardea’s mission is to support social change and make ketamine therapy accessible. Through their privately funded non-profit arm\, The Furthur Fund\, they have treated over 60 frontline care professionals who are positively impacting their communities. We hope to hasten the healing impact of the psychedelic movement by training these professionals in psychedelic therapies and we want to support organizations who do good in the world.

SUMMARY:Birth Death & Liminal Space: What Doulas Can Teach Us About Psychedelics
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Cardea Space for a thought-provoking panel conversation on the intersection of birth and death doulas\, psychedelic practitioners\, and the for-profit medical system.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll ticket proceeds will be donated to Cardea’s non-profit. Please consider donating.\n\n\n\n\nBirth and death doulas have long faced resistance from medical professionals in hospitals and medical facilities. Yet\, they have been instrumental in creating safe and nurturing spaces. Now\, with the rapid legalization and medicalization of psychedelics\, we ask: What can psychedelic practitioners learn from doulas about creating a similar safe and nurturing holding space within the cold confines of a for-profit medical system? \nPanel Moderated by Caroline Dorsen \nCaroline Dorsen PhD\, FNP-BC\, FAAN (she/her) is a nurse scholar\, educator\, and clinician whose passion is the intersection of health\, substance use and social justice. She is currently the Associate Dean for Clinical Partnerships and Professor of nursing and public health at Rutgers University. \nCaroline has been a nurse practitioner for over 20 years. She is on the Board of Psychedelic Medicine and Therapies (BPMT) and the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors for Community Health Network (CHN) in NYC and is a Senior Associate Editor of the journal Annals of LGBTQ Public and Population Health. She has been a member of numerous diversity\, equity and inclusion task forces\, including for the Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health\, and is a member of the Psychiatric Mental Health Expert Panel for the American Academy of Nursing. Along with her research related to the impact of stigma and bias on health inequities\, Caroline’s research has focused on the underground use of psychedelic medicines for health and healing. Her current study is examining nurses’ attitudes towards the use of psychedelics in clinical settings. She has authored or coauthored numerous papers on the use of psychedelics\, including the first article on psychedelics in the American Journal of Nursing since 1964 (with co-authors Andrew Penn\, Stephanie Van Hope and William (Billy) Rosa). She spoke at the 14th annual Horizons Psychedelic Conference on the role of community in psychedelic science and was an invited panelist and expert reviewer for the 2022 National Academy of Science\, Engineering and Medicine’s workshop “Exploring Psychedelics and Entactogens as Treatments for Psychiatric Disorders.” \nCaroline received a BA in Anthropology from UC Berkeley\, a BS in Nursing at NYU\, a Master’s degree at Yale\, and a PhD in Nursing Research and Theory at NYU. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in translational science at NYU Langone Health. In recognition of her expertise as an educator\, Caroline was the 2020 recipient of the Dean’s Distinguished Teaching Award at NYU Meyers College of Nursing. In 2020\, she was also the recipient of NYU’s MLK\, Jr Faculty Award sponsored by the President and Provost for “exemplifying the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through teaching excellence\, leadership\, social justice activism\, and community building.” At Rutgers\, she received the “Beloved Community” Award in 2021 with colleagues from around the university for their work during the COVID-19 pandemic. She was inducted as a Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing in 2021. \nCaroline is joined by Panelist Cassandra Biron & Ceridwen Morris: \nCassandra Biron\, LCSW is a social worker\, psychedelic therapist\, certified death doula\, and end-of-life and grief educator. She works as an individual therapist specializing in LGBT+ identity\, somatics\, and grief. She also co-runs a death & grief literacy company\, Your Morbid Friends\, which provides educational services for private and community education. Outside of work\, she loves trees and aerial yoga. \nCeridwen Morris has been a doula and childbirth educator for over twenty years\, working with thousands of expectant parents in New York City. She is the author of the forthcoming How to Give Birth (Farrar\, Strauss and Giroux\, 2025). Morris served on the board of The Childbirth Education Association of Metropolitan New York for five years\, and ran the education program at Tribeca Pediatrics for ten years.

SUMMARY:ARTemple with Ross Ellenhorn May 18th
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nJoin Cardea’s co-founder and master of Play Dr. Ross Ellenhorn at ARTemple—a space to co-create art from a place of inner guidance\, instead of guidelines. This space is fitting for anyone\, no art experience required. Through pen\, pencil\, charcoal\, and paint\, we’ll meet each other in a place of creativity\, improvisation\, and connection.  \nRSVP Here to save your spot!  \n“It’s not what you see that is art; art is the gap\,” wrote great Dadaist artist Marcel Duchamp. Art is always about the middle land we call relationship or encounter—the ineffable terrain of the in-between—that space we all know as real since we all feel most real when we’re there. At Cardea\, we see this space as a kind of holy site\, a secularly sacred realm in which we “encounter encounter\,” or have a “relationship with relationship\,” as we put it. And we see it this way because we believe that it is in the land of the threshold where we come alive\, experience the aliveness in others\, and—again—encounter the life that courses between us. \n  \nThe famous theologian Martin Buber wrote that “All real living is meeting.” We think he’s exactly right.  And at our monthly ARTemple\, we meet in the deepest way through the making of art. Expect no sermons\, no hagiarchy or hierarchy\, and only the graceful act of conjuring life through pen\, pencil\, charcoal\, and paint. \n  \nThis process is less “art for art’s sake” than art for relating\, connecting and the experience of the “thou.”  There is absolutely zero need for artistic skill at ARTemple and you will not learn new skills either!  Also\, feel very free to bring the kids. They have a lot to teach us.

SUMMARY:Mushroom Thinking: Salon Talk at Cardea Space with Forest Russell
DESCRIPTION:Forest Russell proposes that human involvement with mushrooms—whether through mycological research\, psychedelic experience\, or foraging in the wild—may result in a peculiar kind of thought otherwise known as Mushroom Thinking. (The artist John Cage is a preeminent example of a mushroom thinking in action). Recent anthropological work around human/mushroom interaction highlights an “interspecies alliance” and what appears to be a cultural transmission from fungi to humans\, exemplified by the common injunction to “become fungal.” This movement\, often referred to as Radical Mycology\, is a return to a new kind of animism in which the mushroom is a guide offering non-human wisdom to humanity. While there are many paths to Mushroom Thinking\, its chief epiphany is\, of course\, the magic mushroom—psilocybin. These ideas will offer a springboard to a salon-style discussion. \nForest Russell is a writer and psychoanalyst-in-training in NYC. You may find many of his mushroom theories at spacewhy.org. \n  \nFREE with RSVP

SUMMARY:Psychedelics and Social Class: An Avoided Intersection
DESCRIPTION:Join Olivia Marcus\, Yarelix Estrada & Nick Powers at Cardea Space for an intimate salon style talk & panel disucssion. Enjoy light bite and drinks as you nestle in our gathering grotto and engage in conversation on the topic \nPsychedelics and Social Class: An Avoided Intersection\n\n\n\n\n\nThe topic of social class is often avoided in US conversations\, and is glaringly absent in discussions of the so-called psychedelic renaissance. Whereas talk of revolutions might have once stimulated imagery of embattled workers struggling for dignity and autonomy\, the imagery of revolution is now concerned with how efficient we can design molecules to achieve a bourgeois sense of wellness. As Dr. Carl Hart and others have bemoaned\, ‘psychedelic exceptionalism’ draws our attention away from psychedelics as drugs\, a class of substances that have historically been associated in very specific ways with race and class. In this discussion\, we consider the problem of class in multiple ways: first\, as a social determinant of health and access to certain psychedelics and their associated therapies; second\, as a social status that intersects with race\, ethnicity\, and gender that are fundamental for how people experience a psychedelic\, set\, and setting; and third\, we discuss why class should be part of every research and policy discussion concerning psychedelics. \n  \nPanel Moderator:  \nOlivia Marcus completed her PhD in Medical Anthropology and an MPH in sociomedical sciences. She is a T32 postdoctoral fellow at the NYU\, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse\, where she is conducting mixed-methods research on the design and evaluation of complex interventions to address substance use and mental health issues in Indigenous/First Nations communities in Mexico and Canada. Her areas of interest are in health-seeking behavior\, intervention design and evaluation\, and exploring the discourses surrounding traditional and alternative medicines in relation to biomedicine. She leads the qualitative component of the mixed-methods Ayahuasca Treatment Outcome Project to assess outcomes for addiction recovery in an all-male therapeutic community in Peru. Olivia conducted her doctoral fieldwork in the upper Peruvian Amazon\, where she investigated perceptions of mental wellness and healing among mestizo curanderos (i.e.\, vegetalistas) and their clientele. \n  \nPanelist:  \nYarelix Estrada\, MSPH\, is a first-generation Central American\, drug policy and harm reduction researcher\, advocate\, and community outreach worker. Yarelix has been a part of the underground nightlife and rave scene through peer-based harm reduction programs such as DanceSafe\, and now works as a City Research Scientist and Special Projects Coordinator at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene\, conducting community-based substance use harm reduction outreach and research. Her work is currently largely focused on implementation of the first higher-technology drug checking research study using an FTIR machine. This work allows for hyperlocal\, real-time warnings to organizations and participants about a batch of drugs that’s branded with a particular stamp\, for instance. Yarelix is passionate about supporting people throughout the full continuum of drug use\, from use for pleasure and healing to overdose prevention. She is dedicated to improving the quality of care for people who use drugs and historically oppressed communities by working to understand the intersectionality between health policy and the societal factors that impact the lives of people who use drugs. \nNicholas Powers\, PhD is a literature professor\, novelist and journalist. He has facilitated workshops from Occupy Wall Street\, PEX\, Burning Man and the California Institute for Integral Studies\, and his writings have appeared in The Village Voice\, Huffington Post\, The Raw Story\, Truth-Out\, The Indypendent\, Business Insider\, Chacruna\, Double Blind and the MAPS Spring 2018 newsletter. He has been interviewed by Naropa University’s “The Root” program on psychedelics and race. His latest book\, a political vampire book titled\, “Thirst” just came out\, and his prior book “The Ground Below Zero: 9/11 to Burning Man\, New Orleans to Darfur\, Haiti to Occupy Wall Street” was published in 2014 by Upset Press.

SUMMARY:Nowadays Community Night - Dr. Ross Ellenhorn on Play and Psychedelics
DESCRIPTION:For this one year anniversary edition\, Cardea Co-Founder\, Dr. Ross Ellenhorn\, returns to nowadays for his powerfully enlightening talk on the role of “play” and improvisation in life. \n \nRoss is a sociologist and psychotherapist; the owner of Ellenhorn\, a program that provides non-stigmatizing care for individuals experiencing extreme events of mind and mood; the co-creator of the Lascaux Method for psychedelic journeying and the author of three books on human change. His most recent book\, Purple Crayons is published by HarperCollins and explores the psychological\, socio-political and religious elements of play. In tonight’s talk\, Ross will explore the nature of human play\, its role in human transformation\, and its relationship to psychedelic experiences. In the current renewal of more mainstream interest in psychedelics\, substances like MDMA and psilocybin are being ushered into western medical models\, promoted as miracle cures for PTSD\, depression\, anxiety and a host of other woes. Ross believes that the more psychedelics come to be seen as treatments for diseases\, we are potentially losing sight of one of their most precious offerings: the potential for play. In his words: “We can mistake play for ‘fun.’ But even though fun is definitely something we do that is playful\, play is very serious business. For children and adults alike\, play—which includes the creation and contemplation of art—transforms that which appears solidly unchangeable into something pliable\, loosens the hard earth of habit\, and awakens us to the world and all its novelty. It is also the threshold through which we access our vitality–that ineffable experience of being alive–and it’s from play that we experience the life of other living beings. \nPlay is the marrow of compassion and empathy\, and it is the antidote to alienation\, dehumanization and a deadened approach to nature. Without play\, it’s all: same as it ever was\, same as it ever was\, same as it ever was… “Play is usually understood as the opposite of work\, and psychedelics are increasingly being promoted as tools to increase productivity\, or cure “dysfunction\,” rather than as threshold to what makes us most human\, and opens our eyes to the humanity in others\, and the life in the natural world. Psychedelics can help return play to its rightful position as an essential part of our humanity.” Through a talk\, some Q and A and playful exercises\, Ross aims to give some form and frame to the human activity that always fights form and frame\, and show how psychedelics are tools that can bring us to that first moment when we conducted the magical act of conjuring life in our toys.

SUMMARY:The Anesthetic Revelation: The Origins of the Dissociative Experience
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Salon Talk at Cardea as we gather in the grotto with writee Dan Piepenbring. \nLimited spots – Free with RSVP! \n \nThe Anesthetic Revelation: Benjamin Blood and the Origins of the Dissociative Experience \nA century before ketamine was first synthesized—before the words “dissociative” and “psychedelic” had even been coined—Benjamin Paul Blood was overpowered by the remarkable connection between anesthetic drugs and “the old mysteries” of existential thought. Blood (1832-1919) was a true American eccentric: a farmer\, inventor\, newspaper columnist\, and amateur philosopher\, he hailed from Amsterdam\, New York\, a small town northwest of Albany. Around 1860\, after a routine dental procedure\, he came to believe that nitrous oxide and ether offered acute but fleeting insight into the secret of the universe\, revealing what he called “the genius of being.” He self-published a pamphlet calledThe Anesthetic Revelation and the Gist of Philosophy that soon generated controversy in newspapers around the U.S. and England. “Mr. Blood’s most appreciative readers will be found in insane asylums\,” one reviewer wrote. But more elevated readers\, such as William James and Lord Tennyson\, wrote to Blood at once\, believing that he’d stumbled onto an exciting if bizarre new avenue for philosophy and psychology. Blood received hundreds of letters from patients in “every hospital and dental office” who recognized his moment of “cosmic illumination” and “had been put in mind of something they can’t think of\,” he wrote\, and soon he was the most infamous man in Amsterdam. This talk will explore Blood’s thinking\, his supporters and detractors\, and the shape his pamphlet gave to what we now think of as the dissociative experience\, with parallels to the present-day framing of psychedelic therapy and of k-holes in particular. \nDan Piepenbring is the coauthor\, with Tom O’Neill\, of CHAOS: Charles Manson\, the CIA\, and the Secret History of the Sixties and the editor of Prince’s posthumous memoir\, The Beautiful Ones. Currently he writes the New Books column for Harper’s and is working on a book about ketamine and dissociative anesthetics.

SUMMARY:Salon Talk with Nate Gorelick - Ecstasy at the End of the World: On Summers of Love and The Revolution That Wasn't
DESCRIPTION:Join Nate Gorelick back at Cardea Space for an intimate salon style talk. Enjoy light bite and drinks as you nestle in our gathering grotto and engage in conversation with professor Nate Gorelick on the topic… \n“Ecstasy at the End of the World: On Summers of Love and The Revolution That Wasn’t”\n\n\n\nPsychedelics have long been associated with revolutionary social upheaval\, even liberation. During the Summer of Love in 1967\, LSD was the holy sacrament of youth in revolt. In the Second Summer of Love\, from 1988-89\, the counter-cultural drug of choice was MDMA. Radical change was in the air. Altered states of consciousness promised to overturn our whole collective reality. So what happened? What caused these moments of euphoric hope and audacity to evaporate? Or are they still around\, only dissipated into our general social atmosphere? Were they really drug-induced and drug-fuelled? Or was it merely mainstream moral panic that propelled acid and ecstasy to the vanguard of anti-establishment agitation? And what can this teach us about psychedelics’ revolutionary potential\, or their counter-revolutionary uses\, today\, at the outer edge of our increasingly catastrophized\, terrorized\, medicalized present?\n\nNathan Gorelick is Term Assistant Professor of English at Barnard College. Previously\, he was Associate Professor of English at Utah Valley University\, and he holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He has published widely on the intersections of literature\, philosophy\, and psychoanalysis. His first book\, The Unwritten Enlightenment\, is forthcoming from Northwestern University Press. He is currently researching the history of the relation between psychedelics and the Freudian field\, as well as how this relation may be reinvented today.

SUMMARY:Community Night at Nowadays - John MacLean & Kim Ann Foxman
DESCRIPTION:Cardea Community Night at Nowadays\nFor the 10th edition of Cardea’s residency at Nowadays\, Lead Ceremonialist and Sound Director John MacLean will return\, this time with longtime friend and fellow DJ/Producer\, Kim Ann Foxman\, for a community conversation about the parallels and intersections between club music culture and psychedelic journeying. \nThis event is FREE with RSVP! \nJohn MacLean\, aka Juan MacLean / The Juan MacLean\, is a ceremonial facilitator who has studied extensively both in the Amazon jungle of Peru and also various western contemporary modalities concerning the intersection of consciousness\, sound and healing. He is also a multi-instrumentalist\, Dj\, and producer of electronic music\, with an interest in exploring and questioning issues around recreational use of psychedelics and the ways in which\, if any\, the container of a club settings might resemble traditional ceremonies that involved repetitive rhythmic music as a way of entering into a trance state for healing and communal bonding.\n\nKim Ann Foxman is a DJ\, electronic artist & producer. She has extensive experience working deeply with medicinal plants\, and utilizing psychedelics together with sound. She believes music has the ability to transport you even further into psychedelic realms\, and together they are a perfect combination for exploratory mind and body journeys\, healing\, and a powerful source of finding creative inspiration as well.\n\nThey will discuss issues relating to the influence of music and sound on the psychedelic experience\, what it means to create a safe space for those experiences\, the similarities between traditional ceremonial containers and dance music spaces\, the use of psychedelics for healing and self-exploration\, and in true psychedelic form whatever related topics spontaneously arise. There will also be an opportunity  for attendees to share their experiences and ask questions.\n \nPlease note: The use of psychedelic substances is not part of this program. \n
