Psychedelic & Indigenous Medicine Retreat with Floresta
With SHANNON STARR, BC-PMHNP, EUGENE SHTEYNGARTS, TCM and PAUL GARCIA, MD, PHD
February 24 - 27, 2022
THE EXPERIENCE
This is a Four-day Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy retreat designed to optimize your experience and treatment and allow for lasting transformation.
We will be immersed in nature which will support a sense of nurturing and wellbeing as we explore non-ordinary states of consciousness and integration.
OUR VISION
Floresta is a team of clinicians, doctors, coaches, pioneers and those that dare to be the change that is required within mental health and psychiatry. Have you been in therapy for years, tried countless medications or know that there is something more than what is currently being offered within mental health?
We are here to facilitate an increase in awareness and consciousness as we blend Western med ical and psychotherapeutic methods with diverse Eastern and Indigenous practices. Working with the medicine of ketamine can allow for clarity, healing, insight and creating with choice. We are here to let you know there is another way.
THE SCIENCE
Ketamine is a safe, well known medication that is currently being prescribed off-label for depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, OCD, addiction and other mental health concerns.
It assists in rewiring the neural network within the brain for a mental reset, which allows you to create your life through endless possibilities, magic and revolutionary breakthroughs. Up to 95% of people receiving ketamine treatments report a decrease in depression and anxiety compared to conventional psychiatry with results often seen after the first treatment.
The Retreat
You are invited to join us for a reset for your wellbeing with our curated experience tailored to optimize your psychedelic and therapeutic sessions. Here you will be surrounded by the beauty of nature with thoughtful amenities designed with care and healthy vibrant meals to nourish you. Our expert clinical team and facilitators are here to guide you throughout the weekend for a profound and transformational experience.
