2023 - 2024 Dates Coming Soon!

9/17/2023

0 Comments

 

STAY TUNED: Dates for new client intakes, video classes, groups, workshops, retreats, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy will be posted soon.  Roughly outlined:
If you want to begin therapy, I will be starting intakes Oct. 1, 2023.  New client intakes for Oct. 2023 - July 2024 will run through the end of 2023.  The date is coming up: please use the form below or email Keely at [email protected] if you are interested in further information.
If you want to begin TSROP, you can do so working with myself, with another affiliated clinician, or as a stand-alone therapeutic activity.  Intake for TSROP begins in October of 2023 and runs through Jan 1, 2024.
If you are interested in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, you can work with Keely through Mindbloom's online services beginning in November, 2023, or In Vivo will begin intakes for KAP in January of 2024 and will be providing in-house KAP in March and April of 2024.
If you are interested in online psychoeducation groups (i.e., Zoom classes on special topics in therapy that will provide you with lasting tools for healing, coping, and symptom management), these will begin in November 2023.  A calendar of specific dates and topics will be released soon. 
If you are interested in Suburban Grotto workshops, the exact dates have not been set, but the Underground Circle therapeutic cave trip and Sand Tray sessions (group and individual) will most likely be held in January 2024, Earthwalks in November, February, and May, IFS groups in February, and Bonfires in July.
If you are interested in the 2024 Ecotherapy Retreat, I am aiming to hold that in April 2024, exact date TBD.  The retreat will ideally include the option to combine a guided ketamine session with the nature-based and somatic experience.

Use the contact form below, and I will reach out to you via email.  I will not share your email and I will not send you promotional materials unless you give me further permission to do so in the future.

    Please email me more information . . .

Many of the dates for the 2022-2023 Rites of Passage options are still pending.  Some dates to note:
- School of Lost Borders released their dates for their CA Spring Fast, but it is currently full with a Waitlist.  Interested folks should endeavor to join the waitlist soon.  These retreats have become increasingly popular!
- We are hoping to hold an "in-house" retreat, April 13-17.  Those dates are still tentative.

​Stay tuned for more information as the season progresses!
