Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy in the Retreat Model
Find peace within while experiencing nature's peace without
Silo Wellness's first-of-its-kind ketamine-assisted wellness retreat is designed to allow participants to focus on nature and the most beautiful natural product of nature: their mind and self. This action-packed five day retreat is designed for those ready to put in the work on themselves. Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is not for the faint of heart. It is not a magic solution. It is a tool to open the mind and attempt to heal oneself.
Retreat Philosophy
We incorporate nature into every aspect of the retreat. It is easy to forget that we as humans are nature. However, human consciousness is the least understood and most highly developed and complicated result of nature.
We are deliberately acting within our naturally-derived environment to effectively change the environment around us. Our thoughts cause things to change in the physical world with something as simple as moving your own physical self from one place to another, planting a garden, or vibrating vocal cords to transfer information to others to cause them to act within that same natural environment.
Those coming to a Silo retreat have their mindsets plugged into an intent to affect their environment, surroundings, and relationships (with others and the self) at least more neutrally and at best more positively. Effectively, your intent is to no longer use your thoughts to adversely affect yourself or allow your behavior to adversely affect others. For instance, you may want to have more control of your thoughts or less adverse psychological reactions to stress and stimuli. Whatever your goals, you will work with our trained and experienced team to get ready for change.
Finding Purpose
You are a complicated biological and spiritual system that is finding its place in the universe. How is it that a series of automatic chemical reactions manifesting through biological processes made you? Well, you may very well be contemplating those interesting questions and others while in a ketamine-induced altered state of consciousness.
The purpose of this wellness retreat is for an experienced Oregon physician to bring you to a dissociated state of mind to allow you to disconnect from your usual thinking habits and pre-programed thought cycles. Your goal is to shift your consciousness and expand your personal awareness in ways you have never experienced to help free yourself from traditional worries of the past and future and truly analyze and reflect on the real and actual you as you exist in this most beautiful neverending moment.
Similar to naturally-produced psychedelic compounds, such as DMT and mushroom-derived psilocybin, you may experience novel ways to view your "self" in relation to the world and in connection with others. The setting of nature (rather than a traditional clinical setting) is designed to inspire your thoughts and help you reach feelings of spiritual and mystical connections to something greater. Your complicated consciousness and feeling of self that dwells on the regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow needs to focus on the now and hopefully this setting can help you along that journey.
The Schedule
Over five days you will experience socially-distanced (following state-approved guidelines in effect at the time) small group interactions on site and at some of Oregon's most naturally beautiful waterfalls and other locations. One day you will engage in a Class 2-3 McKenzie River rafting trip with guided meditation stops along the way led by experienced raft guide outfitter partners. Wet suits and splash gear will be provided along with recommended clothing.
There will be virtual meetings individually and within the group to prepare you in advance along with a disciplined preparation eating and activity schedule the week in advance.
At the January retreat you will be challenged at Oregon's best and most beautiful. This is Oregon rain country. The reason it's green and the rivers flow and the waterfalls fall is because of the rain. It is an obstacle and an instrument of beauty and always an instrument of change.
You will experience three ketamine-assisted therapy sessions during the five-day trip along with substantial personal and group integration time.
