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. She has taught at Real Birth\, City Births and NYC Birth Prep. She is also deeply involved in the arts\, having started out as a curator of emerging artists in the DC punk scene in the 1990s. As a photographer and writer\, her engagement with the arts is ongoing. Mostly she works at night\, in hospital rooms around the city\, helping people give birth. \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: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.

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. The hi-fidelity audio equipment includes giant horns and big\, glowing tubes that reproduce music in the most beautiful way. \nThroughout the weekend\, there is ample time to enjoy the nature and facilities at Omega\, such as canoeing and kayaking on the lake\, perusing the Ram Dass library\, walking the labyrinth\, exploring hiking trails\, or booking a treatment at the Wellness Center. All meals at the Omega Dining Hall are included in the price of the all-inclusive-stay. \n\n\n\n\n\nThings to Bring\n\n\n\nPlease bring whatever you need to be comfortable in the listening space: blankets\, sleeping bags\, bean bags\, pillows\, etc. Omega has yoga mats and yoga blankets on site to borrow. The space at Omega is larger than the loft where Planetarium happens in NYC\, and the capacity will be lower\, so there will be room to spread out. \n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\nPlease note this course has a special schedule: \nFRIDAY \n4:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m.\nCheck In (Rooms available after 5:00 p.m.) \n8:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m.\nLive Performance by 7038634357 \n\nSATURDAY \n10:00 a.m.–Noon\nConversation and Performance by Dimitri Mugianis \n2:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m.\nExtended Planetarium Deep Listening Session with Justin Carter \n10:00 p.m.–11:00 p.m.\nNighttime Walk to a Sound Bath by Rena Anakwe in the Sanctuary \n\nSUNDAY \n10:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m.\nLaughter Workshop and Farewell with Laraaji \n1:00 p.m.\nCheck Out \n  \nThe above schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the faculty. \n\n\n\nMORE INFORMATION \nPlease note: The use of psychedelic substances is not part of this program \n \n

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. 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\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. A licensed clinical social worker with over 13 years of experience in psychedelic communities\, Zach is also an advocate and active proponent of psychedelic harm reduction. He has applied his extensive personal experience and training to educate and guide others\, through trip-sitting and integration work. Zach’s work is heavily influenced by his own transformative experience using iboga to move beyond years of intravenous drug addiction. \nMarjorie (Margie) Navarro\, LAc\nMarjorie is the founder of Vivacity Acupuncture (vivacityacupuncture.com)\, an organization devoted to acupuncture and holistic care that helps individuals meet their wellness goals and live more vibrantly. Her private practice in Union Square/Chelsea & FiDi NYC focuses on integrative sports medicine\, chronic pain and illness. In addition to her clinical work\, Marjorie performs research on acupuncture for psychedelic integration.

We believe that breaking free from standardized living and embracing uncertainty and novelty are key to personal growth and well-being.

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.

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.

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: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. 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.

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.

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: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.

SUMMARY:Founder’s Ketamine Retreat: A Weekend of Serious Play
DESCRIPTION:A Seriously Playful Therapeutic Ketamine Retreat in NYC hosted by Cardea Co-Founders Ross Ellenhorn and Dimitri Mugianis\nWith decades of experience in psychedelic\, psychiatric and psychotherapeutic practices\, Cardea’s Co-Founders Dr Ross Ellenhorn & Dimitri Mugianis invite those seeking transformation and awakening to a weekend of immersive play\, with the use of art\, music\, dance\, and ketamine. \nINTRODUCTION\nPlay is serious business. In fact\, it is the central element in human transformation. Conjuring us to feel alive and coaxing us to be real\, it’s something far beyond just “fun.” Through play\, the invisible landscapes of our inner lives merge with the visible world we all perceive in our own unique ways. Play thus acts as an antidote to the isolation and disconnection inherent in psychological suffering—it is fundamentally collaborative and connective. 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. Cardea CoFounders built a a program that puts play at the front and center of our clients clients care.  \nTo 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. \nPlay is never habit\, and it’s always about novelty. \nIn this ketamine assisted therapeutic weekend event\, we aim to help people reach goals of healing\, recovering and expansion by taking a deep dive into serious play\, seeing where it already plays in their lives and finding those places where they want it to play a bigger part.  Believing that a state of play is the root of psychological transformation\, and that psychological suffering is often caused by a lack of play in our lives\, we also play a lot in a serious manner\, bringing in artists\, dancers and musicians to help us reach our own states of play. \nThe aim in all of this is for our guests to leave more alive and awake to the world and to their inner lives\, leaving our doors with a fresh orientation toward relieving their psychological suffering and pursuing their transformative goals. \nTo find out more and reserve your spot\, schedule a free consultation with a Cardea’s Community Manager\, Paige Rothaus \n \nWHAT TO EXPECT\nIntroduction to Cardea’s Method of Serious Play\nIncluding Dialogic sessions – a reflection-based listening model for preparing and processing your experience. \nTwo group ketamine sessions guided by live sound\nSupported by our licensed therapist and trained space holders \nGroup Reflection Session \nTo make meaning of your experiences and deepen your intentions prior to 2nd ketamine session \nMorning Meditations\nBegin your day grounded\, centered\, and present \nLife-infusing Art & Activities \nMulti-media art-making\, poem-writing\, movement\, dance\, improv\, and music circles led by experiences facilitators \nIntimate Community Building\n7 spots for like-minded beings to continue enriching your work with psychedelics and play \nExceptional Space Holding\nThrough the whole weekend\, experience radical hospitality from Cardea team and facilitators to ensure the groups needs are at the center of our focus \n  \nNext Steps?

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Ketamine\, Harm Reduction and You: A Ketamine-Assisted Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP) Weekend Workshop with Dr. Andrew Tatarsky \n  \nCardea invites behavioral-health professionals who work with those engaged in problematic habits to join us for a four-day experiential-learning workshop featuring Dr. Andrew Tatarsky\, developer of the Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP) model for the treatment of risky and addictive behavior.  \nIntegrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP) brings relational\, psychodynamic\, cognitive behavioral\, mindfulness\, and other practical strategies together in a harm reduction frame to treat the full spectrum of addictive and compulsive behavior. IHRP welcomes people wherever they are on their positive change journeys\, in all stages of change and with all positive change goals. IHRP supports gradual positive behavioral changes that align with people’s personal values and goals while addressing related personal\, relational and lifestyle issues. IHRP brings a therapeutic orientation to harm reduction settings\, a harm reduction orientation to treatment settings and informs all phases of psychedelic-assisted therapy. \nDr. Tatarsky will not only take a deep dive into all aspects of IHRP at this ground-breaking workshop\, he will also help participants explore their own relationships with addictive behaviors and their transferential experiences working with clients engaged in dangerous habitual behaviors. Tatarsky’s teachings will be combined with Cardea’s own Lascaux method of ketamine-assisted care—a form of preparation and space holding that uses dialogic method and live sound during sessions\, that matches a harm-reduction ethos and aims to assist participants with creative reflection about their own work and their personal experience with psychological suffering. \nParticipants will walk away with a deep understanding and knowledge of IHRP that can then be integrated into their approach with clients and own self-insight. \n  \nWHAT TO EXPECT\n* Two group ketamine sessions with live sound and art \n* Discussions of Scientific Revolution\, Paradigm Shifts\, and Compassionate Pragmatism \n* A deep dive into Integrative Harm-Reduction Psychotherapy\, principles and practices \n* An understanding of the Seven Therapeutic Tasks \n* An understanding of Clinical Challenges in Conceptualizing + Treating Addictive Behaviors \n* Breakout groups and role-plays \n* Integration of ketamine experience and IHRP concepts \n  \nTo find out more and reserve your spot\, schedule a free consultation with a Cardea’s Community Manager\, Paige Rothaus.  \n \n  \nABOUT THE FACILITATORS\n \nDr. Andrew Tatarsky has worked with people who struggle with drugs and their families for over 40 years. Andrew developed Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP) for treating the spectrum of risky and addictive behavior. IHRP brings relational psychoanalysis\, CBT and mindfulness together in a harm reduction frame. IHRP meets people where ever they are on their positive change journeys and works collaboratively to support people in discovering their truth and what goals and approach to positive change best suit them. The therapy has been described in his book\, Harm Reduction Psychotherapy: A New Treatment for Drug and Alcohol Problems\, and a series of papers. The book has been translated into Polish\, Spanish and Russian. He holds a doctorate in clinical psychology from the City University of New York and is a graduate of New York University’s Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. He is a member of the Medical and Clinical Advisory Panels of the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Support. Andrew has trained individuals and organizations in 20 countries. His writing\, teaching\, clinical work and leadership aim to promote a re-humanized view of problematic substance use and a harm reduction continuum of care that will extend help to everyone who needs and wants it wherever they are ready to begin their positive change journeys. \n  \nRoss Ellenhorn\, LICSW\, Ph.D 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 ketamine retreat. His 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.  \n  \n \nDimitri Mugianis\, harm reduction advocate and psychedelic practitioner\, musician\, writer\, and community organizer\, became the face of using underground Ibogaine to kick heroin addiction in the United States. He developed a hybrid modality of administration that integrates the ceremonial and musical elements of traditional ibogaine ceremonies with the best safety protocols of Western medicine. His story is the focus of the documentary I’m Dangerous With Love. Even though Ibogaine is still prohibited in the United States\, it is attracting avid interest from researchers all over the world and becoming accepted among care providers and clinics. Dimitri has led over five hundred Ibogaine ceremonies and supported numerous individuals with their problematic habits. He’s also performed thousands of ceremonies using sound\, art and psychedelics – especially Psilocybin and MDMA – to help individuals break with their psychological suffering and to spark spiritual awakenings. Dimitri will be facilitating the ketamine sessions with guided meditation and live vibrational sound to create a safe a playful container to guide you through the medicine. \n\nPRICING & ITINERARY\nThursday\, April 3 2025 (2 hours) \n6 p.m. – 8 p.m.: Introduction to one another and IHRP; Framing the Weekend \nFriday\, April 4\, 2025 (7 hours) \n* 10 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.: Art+Ketamine+Sound Ceremony \n* 1 p.m. – 2 p.m.: Lunch \n* 2 p.m. – 5 p.m.: IHRP and the Seven Therapeutic Tasks  \nSaturday\, April 5\, 2025 (7 hours) \n* 10 a.m. – 11 a.m.: Reflections and Integrations \n* 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.: A Deep Dive into IHRP; Role-play etc. \n* 1 p.m. – 2 p.m.: Lunch \n* 2 p.m. – 5 p.m.: A Deep Dive into IHRP; Role-play etc. \nSunday\, April 6th\, 2025 (4.5 hours) \n* 10 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.: Art+Ketamine+Sound Ceremony \n* 1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.: Integration and Closing the Container \nEXCHANGE \nEarly Bird: $1\,900 \nRegistration: $2\,300 \n\nIncludes virtual Medical Assessment with our prescribing doctor\nDoes not include cost of the nasal spray medicine (~$100) paid directly to pharmacy\n\n  \nLimited Spots – Reserve yours by booking a free consultation below. \n \n  \nPHOTOS FROM PRIOR WORKSHOPS\n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nTo find out more and reserve your spot\, schedule a free consultation with a Cardea’s Community Manager\, Paige Rothaus. \n \n  \n\nCardea is dedicated to assisting individuals in their recovery from deep psychological anguish and supporting those seeking an awakened life.
