Comments from previous participants:

“As an IFS therapist, when I first heard about the KAP IFS grief retreat I was curious about KAP, confident in IFS and almost laughed out loud to myself about Grief. I said to myself, ‘my grief is old, it’s in the past, I am not grieving anything now’. As I read the recommended readings, attended the preparation sessions and participated in the weekend experience, I discovered I had much more grief inside than I was aware.”

“The staff created such a supportive space, welcoming everyone “where we were at” without judgment or expectation. Trying KAP for the first time was comfortable in the space they created. Exploring the grief I was holding couldn't have happened without their curiosity and compassion as well as the impact of Ketamine.”

“I'm touched forever by the sacred space the retreat leaders held for all of us in our group. I was able to deepen my connections to myself through the retreat programming, Ketamine journeys and deep meaningful connections with fellow participants.”
