Safety & Ethics
All sessions are facilitated by licensed professionals trained in the use of ketamine for inducing non-ordinary states of consciousness. We also have our own experience with the medicine. Screening and preparation are
required for participation.
Facilitators:
Jennifer Geren, Ph.D. is a licensed Clinical Psychologist providing in-home and office-based ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. She has completed training in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy with Psychedelic Research and Training Institute (PRATI), Polaris Insight Center, and The Embody Lab. While Jenn has wide-ranging experience and approaches her care from a trauma-informed and somatically-oriented lens, she has a special focus on serving individuals with life-limiting conditions, people suffering from physical and neurological conditions that have altered their way of life, and those who care for these individuals (i.e., family caregivers and healthcare providers). Jenn has benefited from the integration of non-ordinary states of consciousness into her own healing journey, including through the ceremonial use of plant medicines, holotropic breathwork, and meditation. She is also a Reiki Master practitioner and a dedicated student of yoga.
Katherine “Tina” Page is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals on their journeys toward healing and self-discovery. She is known for creating a safe, welcoming space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and supported.
Tina’s exploration of psychedelics began in 2017 when a client turned to psilocybin to address specific symptoms. The profound and rapid shifts she witnessed in her client ignited her own curiosity and deepened her interest in these transformative medicines. She has since completed specialized training in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy through Polaris Insight Center, expanding her ability to offer innovative, integrative approaches for those seeking deeper and more holistic healing.
Come with curiosity. Leave with connection.
Let the Ketamine Experience guide you into deeper awareness and expanded possibilities.

Complete the Registration/Screening form. Questions include mental health history, current mental health treatment, medical history, and experience with psychedelics.
Step 2: Screening session
Once we review the preliminary screening form, we will schedule a 30-minute Zoom session to go over the information and assess preliminary eligibility for ketamine and goodness of fit for a group experience. We will collect $400 after this screening to secure your space.
Step 3: Medical assessment
An appointment with Dr. Gold for further determination on eligibility for ketamine and medical clearance will be completed. If eligible, dosing will be discussed and medication will be ordered and sent to Koshland Pharmacy, the compounding pharmacy that supplies the ketamine.
Step 4: Finalizing and paying for the medication
You will receive a text message from Koshland Pharmacy regarding the prescription. They will require some information, including confirmation of the shipping address and payment. This can be completed via text or by phone. This step needs to be completed one week before the day of the retreat. No later than January 24th.
Step 5: Retreat preparation & Final Payment
A Signal group will be created to meet other participants and assist with preparation for the experience. The remaining balance is due by January 24th.
