"The deep imagination is also our primary resource for recognizing the emerging future, for "seeing" the visionary possibilities of what we can create right now - individually and collectively...it is our essential resource for all genuine human creativity" - Bill Plotkin
This experience is for you if:
Rejuvenate your senses, "see" a better future for you and your loved ones under the gentle tutelage of Physician Associate, Ecopsychologist, and Backyard Farmer, Jennifer Boyd, and LPC, Jackie Brady.
Trust your intuition, and if that feels too new to you or you'd prefer to connect more you can email me for a 15-min exploratory call!
(Reach out for information about scholarships and sliding scales.)
This experience includes 4 distinct parts:
A medical clearance with Jennifer Boyd - either in-person or via telehealth where we will review whether this medication is appropriate for you. We'll review your medical history, your medications and go over any issues that may affect your journey.
A Prep session - this will take place on Zoom about a week before the journey. It is MANDATORY. We aim to keep this a tight 75 minutes so we can answer your questions and set the intentions for a successful journey day.
Journey day - We'll meet in the morning around 8:30am. You will be fasting from overnight and withholding liquids from 7am. We'll have a brief arrival ceremony and preparation and then begin the journey by 9:45am if not sooner. We'll eat lunch and gently process our experience before you are picked up by your drivers around 3pm.
Integration session - this will take place on Zoom a week later. It is not mandatory but it is highly recommended. Integration is where the neuronal magic happens. You'll want to take this brief time to re-set your intentions and create your road map to for the post-journey part of your life.
Jennifer and Jackie have certifications in psychedelic-assisted medicine in addition to their primary licensees and have individually guided many clients through private medicine journeys. This is our second group journey offering together. It is our joy to bring this wonderful medicine to the community.
Preparing for the journey is half the success of the endeavor. Here we'll discuss mindset and practical considerations like what shoes to wear and how to alert us about dietary allergies!

Ketamine exerts its effect mainly by via the N-methyl D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor. As well as having local anesthetic effects, it also interacts with opioid receptors, monoamine, cholinergic, purinergic, and adrenoreceptor systems.
In addition, ketamine by suppressing the induction of nitric oxide synthase activity and protein expression by endotoxin provides an anti-inflammatory effect against infection. Whereas the hypnotic effects of ketamine are caused by a combination of immediate channel blockade of NMDA and hyperpolarization-activated cation channels.
Ketamine reduces the expression of alpha tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-6. By blocking the NMDA receptor, ketamine reduces the growth of cancer cells.
Ketamine’s post-drug effects such as an increase in synaptic connectivity cause the prolonged antidepressant effects associated with the drug."

Additionally, Jackie and I would like to offer you a Zoom session on Monday, May 27th at 7pm EST for integration - a time to bring forth any unmet needs from our time together and receive the medicine of the group.
A Zoom link will be sent out. Please accept the invitation if you intend to join so we know that folks will come.
