Relationship Renewal

Join us for a ketamine-assisted group session for couples. Ketamine experiences can help participants see unhealthy patterns that get in the way of intimacy, and encourage couples to experience vulnerability, and begin heart-open conversations.

The program includes:

Individual medical screening and mental health screenings
90 minute group preparation session (virtual)
3 hour dosing session (in-person)
60 minute group integration session (virtual)

Cost: $1000 per couple, or $1150 for couples able to help support Synaptic’s mission to provide affordable psychedelic clinical care and education. We are also offering a reduced fee spot for $600, for couples with limited means. LGBTQ- and BIPOC-affirming.
