Tasha’s practice is an integration of her unique lineages: she’s a Jamaican-Nigerian-German Canadian who teaches from the wisdom traditions of Tibet and India. This fusion manifests as a connection to inquiry and wisdom practice\, nature and embodiment\, creativity and play\, dreaming\, plant medicine\, and all things liminal. She holds a Psychology Research Specialist degree from the University of Toronto\, is certified in several western modalities\, and is an authorized Buddhist Lama who has studied with masters in Nyingma\, Kagyu\, Gelug\, Bön\, Hatha\, and Tibetan yoga traditions. She mentors and teaches artists and practitioners around the world.\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 \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\nFRIDAY (3/21) \n5pm – Welcoming & Opening of the container \n6pm-8pm – Group Ketamine Session with Live Sound from Cardea Facilitators \n8pm-9pm – Closing the evening with light snacks\, tea and conversation \n  \nSATURDAY (3/22) \n10am-12pm Opening the day: morning meditation & movement from Tasha \n12pm-2pm – Break for Lunch \n2pm-3pm – Witness\, Withness and Play: Discussion with Dr. Ross Ellenhorn \n3pm-4pm – Mediation and Play: Tools for Neuroplasticity \n4pm-6pm – Group Ketamine Session with Live Sound from Cardea Facilitators \n6pm-7pm – Closing the evening with light snacks\, tea and conversation \n  \nSUNDAY (3/23) \n10am-11am – Art Temple with Cardea \n11am-12pm – Integration with Tasha \n 12:00-1:30 – Hosted Lunch and Closing the container \n  \nEXCHANGE \nEarly Bird: $1\,800\n3-Day Weekend: $2\,100 \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*payment plans available through CareCredit.
