Womxn's Group Ketamine Journey with Cardea

The Psychedelic Sisterhood is excited to partner with Cardea Ketamine Space for our first-ever group ceremony! We will gather at Cardea - 511 Canal Street in Manhattan for a 3-hour group ketamine session on Saturday, April 15th from 12:00 to 3:00 PM.

What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has historically been used medically for induction and maintenance of anesthesia. At anesthetic doses, ketamine induces a trance-like state providing pain relief, sedation, and sometimes amnesia. Recently the substance has been successfully used therapeutically for depression and has been widely researched for people with treatment-resistant depression and acute suicidality. It may also benefit patients with conditions such as PTSD, OCD, bipolar depression, anxiety and eating disorders.

Cardea says: “The therapeutic force of ketamine comes from its ability to help you open up a little  – or a lot, giving you the capacity to see the world differently and adding some nimbleness to your thoughts. This is why ketamine seems to help with particular forms of psychological suffering that have a habitual or repetitive element to them. It’s also why Ketamine can help people beyond their suffering, give them a chance to deeply contemplate life-changes, get unstuck creatively, or reach moments of awakening.”

We hope you can join us during this expansive group journey that will be paired with a creative activity focused on opening the mind and cultivating connection.

Total Exchange: $250 + Prescription

The group experience will be guided by Cardea's clinical therapist Elizabeth Baum, and ceremonial sound practitioner, Johanna Verely.

Registration Process:

1. Register your information with The Psychedelic Sisterhood.
2. A clinician from Cardea’s staff will follow up shortly to schedule an introductory call that is most convenient for you. This is a time for Cardea to begin the process of getting to know you and understand your interest and intentions. They will share more information about their process and answer any questions you may have.
3. You will then meet virtually with a doctor for an hour-long medical intake session to explore your medical and mental health history to ensure a safe and therapeutic process and to help determine if ketamine is right for you. The current schedule availability is on Mondays and Fridays.
4. Once approved, Cardea staff will set up payment options with you. Then you'll be sent a prescription via snail mail. This will take about 1 week.
5. And that’s it!

**Due to the pre-screening and snail mail process, please be sure to register by April 1st to ensure securing your prescription and your spot in the group session. No one is permitted to participate in the session without a doctor's prescription.

***Please arrive on time so that the group can participate in the full 3-hour session.
