Entheogenics Experientially
Medically advised and professionally integrated use of Ketamine to provide insight and improvement of the human experience.
Psychedelic Medicine Is Here
Ketamine is a prescription medication that doctors can prescribe off-label to treat depression, anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD, OCD, and other mental health-related conditions. It has safely been used as an FDA-approved anesthetic since 1970. Watch the video of Dr. Warter explaining the background and use of this substance.
The Use Of Ketamine In A Safe, Monitored, And Clinical Setting.
The Warter Institute works with people to understand their overall mental health, the issues they are currently facing and determine if ketamine assisted therapy is appropriate for their situation. If the medical and psychotherapeutic professionals at the institute agree that you are a good candidate, you can join the thousands of people worldwide that have benefited from this intervention in a safe and effective program.
Ketamine is approved for the treatment of certain mental health conditions including treatment resistant depression and anxiety. Substances like Ketamine have been used for therapeutic purposes for a long time, but they’ve become an especially popular form of treatment in the last few years. As more research is done into the mental health benefits of ketamine, it appears that it can have a powerful and long-lasting effect on your mental and emotional state when used correctly.
The Warter Institute offers ketamine-assisted psychotherapy retreats. These retreats are delivered in a group setting over a weekend and provide a proven structure to deliver consistent and positive results for each participant.
Held in a safe and open setting for insight, integration, and relaxation to take place and be fostered within your life.
Ketamine Is Used Therapeutically
-
Ketamine is a psychoactive substance that blocks the effects of glutamate, a neurotransmitter in the brain that contributes to symptoms of depression (among other personal roadblocks). The substance has been used as an anesthetic and pain reliever for decades, but in recent years, researchers have been discovering more and more about the positive effects of ketamine on the mind.
-
Ketamine can only be used therapeutically when it’s provided by a trained and licensed mental health professional. You’ll be given a specific dose of the medicine, and your therapist will supervise you throughout the entire experience. One session of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy lasts for about an hour, but the effects gradually increase and decrease throughout that time.
-
When used for mental health purposes, ketamine can be an incredibly effective treatment because it has both short-term and long-term effects on your mind. While the medicine is active in your system, you can expect to feel very peaceful and happy. You may feel separated or disassociated from yourself, which gives you space to observe yourself objectively. By taking a step back from your own mind, you can make breakthroughs that are harder to accomplish in your typical mental state.
Ketamine can have a cumulative effect over time, too. Experts usually recommend undergoing multiple ketamine sessions because repeated doses can lead to long-lasting benefits. Many people report feeling happier, calmer, and more grounded in the weeks and months following their sessions.
Why Attend Our Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Retreat
A Ketamine Quest™ experience lasts from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. You’ll stay in a beautiful house with other participants for the weekend in the hills of Vista, CA. During the retreat, you will spend time with each other and share meals. You will have group sessions with Dr. Warter and his staff and you will have an individualized ketamine session.
As with any treatment, the setting and preparation are important to a truly beneficial experience. This is one area that makes the Warter Institute stand out from other Ketamine therapies.
Dr. Warter has been a pioneer in psychedelic therapy and is considered one of the fathers of the movement. Founder of the Warter Institute, Dr Warter has spent over 50 years working with people to successfully address their mental health issues in an existential way. Ketamine has different effects on different people. The Warter Institute has created a program that maximizes the effectiveness of Ketamine for each participant by working with the group to better understand themselves and their intentions before the session and integrating it afterwards.
The Warter Difference
Ketamine-assisted, psychedelic psychotherapy has benefits for a number of mental health disorders. It can help to alleviate the symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and other conditions.
Yet, Ketamine assisted therapy can be much more. Ketamine Quests will provide you the opportunity to work directly with Dr. Warter who has spent 50+ years developing therapeutic methods that accelerate the possibility of healing for all participants.
Unlike other Ketamine therapies, this is far more than just the Ketamine experience. Participants will engage in a powerful group process led by Dr. Warter with the intention of making your Ketamine experience powerful, effective and long-lasting.
