Have you ever considered participating in ketamine-assisted therapy for your mental health? Do you know all the options that exist from at-home prescriptions, to infusion-only clinics, to therapeutic models that integrate the medicine within a healing relationship? Are you curious what makes ketamine-assisted therapy different from at-home lozenges or IV infusions, and why it may offer deeper, longer-lasting transformation?
If these questions stir something in you, we invite you to join Geoff Bathje and Nicole Thompson for a community conversation at Sana Healing Collective on Tuesday, September 2nd from 4:30-5:30pm. We will explore the evolving paradigms of ketamine treatment and why Sana’s relational, community-centered model offers something unique.
This gathering will open up space to discuss and reflect on:
Why ketamine-assisted therapy goes beyond symptom reduction into deeper transformation.
The role of community, and why group healing can be more powerful than going it alone.
Whether ketamine should be considered a psychedelic, and how that shapes our approach to care.
How insurance coverage and accessibility factor into your choices.
Why integration matters as much as the medicine itself.
The somatic, trauma-informed, and liberation-based frameworks that shape healing at Sana.
