SUMMARY:Ketamine Experience with Acupuncture
DESCRIPTION:A Session Combining Ketamine-Assisted Care and Acupuncture Treatment\nWith Zach Rieck\, LCSW and Margie Navarro\, LAc\nTUITION\nSession Fee: $300.00\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.

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: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.
