Restore & Rebalance in the New Year
Group Ketamine Intensive
A day of healing, connection and reset | January 23, 2027 | Boulder, CO | Limited Spots
***Early Bird Pricing Available Through November 30, 2026***
Why Group Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?
While ketamine can be a powerful catalyst for insight and healing, we believe that meaningful change happens not only within ourselves, but also in connection with others. Group Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy offers a unique opportunity to engage in deep personal work while being supported by a community of fellow participants on their own healing journeys.
Many participants find that the shared experience helps reduce feelings of isolation, fosters a sense of belonging and creates opportunities for profound insight and connection. The group setting allows participants to feel seen, supported and understood while exploring their inner world in a safe, structured and professionally facilitated environment.
Healing in community can be a powerful reminder that we are not alone in our struggles, and that growth often happens through connection.
Who is this Intensive For?
The start of a new year can invite reflection, reset, and renewal; but it can also bring awareness of just how much you’ve been carrying. If you’re feeling burned out, depleted, disconnected, or ready to create more space for balance and well-being, this intensive offers an opportunity to pause, release, and reconnect.
This intensive may be a good fit for individuals who:
Feel emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves
Are experiencing burnout or chronic stress in their personal or professional lives
Have been prioritizing others at the expense of their own well-being
Feel stuck in patterns of over-functioning, perfectionism or people-pleasing especially after the holidays
Are navigating a life transition, loss, or season of uncertainty
Desire deeper healing, insight, and reconnection with themselves
Long to cultivate greater balance, clarity, resilience and inner joy
Whether you’re a helping professional, caregiver, entrepreneur, leader, or someone simply longing to feel more grounded and restored, this intensive offers a space to release what no longer serves you and reconnect with what brings meaning, vitality, and joy.

Hear from Past Participants
“They provide a safe and supportive container for their clients to feel secure going to deep places. If you are interested in an individual or group experience, I would recommend them.”
“This was my first experience with ketamine and while I felt excited, curious and open, I was also nervous about what to expect. Having the facilitators there as steady and compassionate guides was very grounding; they created a calm, supportive environment, clearly communicated the process, and held space for a range of experiences.”
“…I was quite nervous and completely new to both psychedelics and group work. From the initial evaluation through the day of the session, the facilitators made me feel informed, supported, and at ease… The group setting ended up being one of the most meaningful parts of the experience—I felt a strong sense of safety, respect, and shared presence. Overall, the experience far exceeded my expectations, and I’m deeply grateful for the thoughtful guidance and supportive space that was created.”
“Having the additional time with group integration makes the experience even more meaningful and enriching. The group integration adds a level of depth that sometimes is lacking with just an IM treatment. All the talking points leading up to it, and after also helped to educate and explain things that are also a very important part of the treatment. I don’t know that it’s possible to find better caretakers than Maddy, Jason and Dr. German. They care deeply about humans and our experiences.”
“The care and intention you put into the setting and process and the openness of the group. The structure of the day felt thoughtful and well paced.”

FAQs
-
We invite participants to arrive anytime between 8:30 and 9:00am, allowing space to settle in, connect, and feel comfortable in the space. We’ll begin by gathering as a group to get to know one another and the facilitators, and to gently prepare for the journey ahead — exploring what to expect and how to care for yourself throughout the day.
There will be three main sections to our day, with breaks in between to rest, stretch, or step outside for fresh air. There will be time for connection and questions to ensure you feel safe and supported before beginning your experience.
-
While we will be providing eyeshades, headphones and mats to lay on but we encourage you to bring any additional items for your physical and emotional comfort. This includes but not limited to: blankets, pillows, grounding objects and eyeshades if you have a particular kind that work best for you. We will also be providing light snacks and beverages after the group journey.
-
A ride to and from the group intensive is mandatory. No one is allowed to drive themselves after the Ketamine journey.
-
If a participant is not medically cleared for the group intensive, a full refund of the intensive payment will be issued for the intensive. The $225 medical evaluation fee is non-refundable, as it covers the cost of the clinical assessment completed by the prescriber.
Payment is 50% refundable if you receive medical clearance and cancel after August 1. In the event that the group does not fill, you will be able to schedule a 1:1 Ketamine session with one of us, transfer your registration to the next group or receive a full refund of the intensive payment.
