Conscious Dying is a group that offers support and community to those facing life-threatening diagnoses, terminal illnesses and advanced age. Battling for our physical health often means that our emotional health gets overlooked. The unknown and the ‘not knowing’ can cause intense stress and emotions that range from fear and anger to sadness and angst. That’s when psychedelic medicines, such as Ketamine, can come in to help. These medicines provide an existential way to meet emotional unease, reduce depression and anxiety, and improve spiritual well-being. Through Conscious Dying, you will have access to a community of people who are facing similar challenges and understand the preciousness of every day. Many terminally ill patients who have participated in ketamine therapy have found they no longer fear death and that the ketamine helps them develop a new sense of peace and tranquility and a deeper connection with nature and the universe.

There is a reason why good psychedelic therapists encourage their clients to journal. Journaling is good for your mind and body, even without a ketamine lozenge. Whether you use this valuable tool to develop self-awareness, gain clarity, reduce anxiety, or spark creativity, evidence-based research has shown that journaling consistently improves mental, emotional, and even physical health. In psychedelic therapies, journaling has been found especially useful in helping journalers remember, make sense of, and integrate their psychedelic experiences. By writing down recollections, thoughts, and feelings about their experience, the writers can better reflect and find meaning from their experiences.

The Journaling Journeyers program aims to provide a safe environment for group members to share their personal stories and experiences, fostering a community where connection and healing are observed and celebrated. Journalers will utilize creative writing and self-reflection to process and document their experiences. Through their work, not only will they find or rediscover meaning in their own lives, but also help fellow collective members do the same. This program serves a dual purpose: not only will it help members establish a healthy journaling routine, but it will also maximize the therapeutic benefits of their psychedelic experiences.

The goal of the group is to promote healing and well-being for all members.

If you are a working artist, writer, actor, creative professional, aspiring creator, feeling stuck or blocked in your creative process, or just seeking new inspiration to enhance your craft, the Creators Salon may be a good option.  If you are not familiar with the Salon tradition, it started in 17th-century France, and very quickly spread throughout Europe. It was conceived as a place where artists, writers, philosophers, and scholars come together in homes or other private settings to discuss and share art, poetry, literature, philosophy, and politics.  Salons were considered a vital space for the exchange of ideas and the cultivation of thoughtful, creative pursuits.

In the Creator’s Salon, the Ketamine experience and a safe supportive environment will be used to share ideas, enhance creativity, and promote a heightened sense of artistic expression, while reducing anxiety and stagnation that leads to creative blocks. Guided meditation, visualization, and sound therapy may be used to enhance the journey experience and focus creative energies. Additionally, participants will be encouraged to participate in free-flowing, stream-of-conscious art sessions, philosophical discussions, theatre games, dance, and storytelling exercises, allowing each person’s creativity to flow without inhibition.  

With artists, there is often a correlation between their unique and meaningful expression and their overall sense of well-being. Creator’s Salon is here to inspire that self-expression.
