GOOD ANGELS OF @willtrademoneyforfollowers Dan Piepenbring, author & journalist, currently writing a book on dissociative drugs, bringing us the many lives of PCP (Phencyclidine) otherwise known as Angel Dust, and contemplates the widely different course its taken from Ketamine, despite their molecular similarities.

With a mixture of gratitude, reflection, sadness,

With a mixture of gratitude, reflection, sadness, excitement, and more we announce that Cardea’s physical space at 511 Canal Street will be closing its mycelium shutters and doors on December 1st. This decision marks a pivotal moment for our organization – one that holds both a sense of transition and an opportunity for reimagining the future of Cardea.

Since we opened exactly two years ago, we have had the honor of supporting over a thousand individual ketamine sessions, and facilitating 52 group therapy sessions. Most significantly, we launched our non-profit, The Furthur Fund, which expanded access to ketamine therapy for frontline and service-oriented workers in NYC. Through this initiative, we’ve offered over 1,200 hours of free ketamine care to those who need it most. We hosted 33 community events here that brought people together to learn, reflect, and connect. These numbers are a testament to the powerful work that has been done here and the lives that have been touched.

The Canal St. location has been a hub for innovative forms of healing, growth, and connection, all based on our founding principles – that our drive to create and our drive to expand are one in the same, and that all transformation happens in an improvisational dialogue. In services of all that, we wanted a physical space to be designed as the opposite of a clinical setting – something that resisted the way such spaces move people on a conveyor belt of waiting rooms, exam rooms, check out stations and so on. And we wanted something that reflected our ethos; an improvisational climate that reached a sense of home, that balanced an invitation to be curious, with experiences of continuity and trust. We were, and are, so unbelievably lucky to have the artist and designer, Randy Polumbo as a founding partner at Cardea. His creations in the design and manufacturing of the Canal St. interior ingeniously capturing this vision. People didn’t enter a clinic when they came to Cardea; they entered into a giant sculptural form, a brilliantly attuned work of art that held them, giving the right space to contemplate the always artistic work of making a better life.

Just Announced!! New addition to our Fall Salon Series coming up next Tuesday Nov 12 at 7pm…. Dr. Carl Hart!

@carlhart Dr. Carl L. Hart, Ziff Professor at Columbia University and former chair of the Department of Psychology, is one of the world’s preeminent experts on the effects of so-called recreational drugs on the human mind and body. Dr. Hart is open about the fact that he uses drugs himself, in a happy balance with the rest of his full and productive life as a researcher and professor, husband, father, and friend. In Drug Use for Grown-Ups, he draws on decades of research and his own personal experience to argue definitively that the criminalization and demonization of drug use–not drugs themselves–have been a tremendous scourge on America, not least in reinforcing this country’s enduring structural racism.

TICKETS IN BIO!
Limited space and will sell out fast.

Aging is inevitable. Society has forced narratives

Aging is inevitable. Society has forced narratives upon us that make this an unfavorable truth. But in reality, people are happiest at the beginning and the ends of their lives. The vast majority of Americans over 65 live independently. Older people enjoy better mental health than the young or middle aged. The older we get, the less afraid we are of dying.

Why don’t more people know these things?

Because of agism - internalized and in the culture at large - obscured all but the negative aspects of life after 65. The personal and social consequences are disastrous. In the 20th century, powerful movements emerged to challenge racism and sexism. It’s high time to mobilize against discrimination and stereotyping on the basis of age.

Cardea is teaming up with @mindbodpod co-hosts and international meditation coaches @tashatheamazon and @_jeffwarren_ to bring a special weekend retreat to NYC - Ketamine, Meditation, Healing: 3 Day Therapeutic Journey for Mind, Body, and Soul.

Mark your calendars!
• Dec 8 @ 3pm - Dec 10th @ 5pm

With a unique blend of ketamine treatment, integrative meditation, and creativity, this retreat offers a profound opportunity to explore the mind’s potential in a supportive space.

We explore the principle of meditation, both how they can support psychedelic immersion, and how they underlie the integration process and keep us open to learning, healing and understanding.

Together, we’ll help you break through personal limitations, obstructive psychological barriers, and access the deepest layers of your awareness, as you reconnect with your most authentic, vibrant self.

Space is limited to 20 participants.
