BEING HELD AT THE SANCTUARY

A Psychedelic Journey for Lovers In or Exploring Ethical Non-monogamy

A Ketamine-Assisted Journey Into Presence, Intimacy & Connection

Beyond Exploration and Into Deeper Connection

Love as Medicine is a ketamine-assisted psychotherapy experience designed for people who value connection, self-discovery, personal growth and meaningful relationships.

Through guided preparation, somatic awareness practices, a supported ketamine journey and integration work, participants are invited to explore the deeper patterns that influence intimacy, communication, vulnerability, trust and connection.

While this is an individual therapeutic experience, many participants attend with a partner because individual healing often creates meaningful shifts in relationships.

Whether you're in a monogamous relationship, an open relationship, practicing consensual non-monogamy, exploring polyamory or creating your own relationship agreements, this experience offers an opportunity to better understand the relationship you bring into every connection.

This Experience May Be Especially Meaningful If:

You value exploration and personal growth but want deeper emotional intimacy
You're navigating jealousy, insecurity, comparison or fear of abandonment
You're exploring consensual non-monogamy, polyamory or open relationships
You want stronger communication and emotional connection
You find yourself repeating the same relational patterns
You want to feel a deeper connection to yourself and your partner
You're curious how ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can support relational healing and growth

Why attend with a partner?

This experience is designed for individuals, but attending with a partner is highly encouraged.

Many people discover that the challenges they encounter in relationships aren't created by the relationship structure itself. They emerge from the fears, wounds, beliefs, attachment patterns and protective strategies we bring into every relationship.

When one partner becomes more aware, more regulated, and more connected to themselves, the relationship often changes as well.

Participants frequently report:

Greater emotional openness
Increased empathy and understanding
More authentic communication
Reduced defensiveness
Greater emotional safety
Deeper intimacy and connection

The journey itself is individual but the impact is often relational.

Some of what we'll explore:

Throughout this experience, participants are invited to explore

Somatic awareness and embodied mindfulness practices
Nervous system regulation and emotional safety
Relational patterns and attachment dynamics
Vulnerability, trust and emotional intimacy
Jealousy, insecurity, comparison and fear of abandonment
The connection between self-awareness and relationship satisfaction
A supported ketamine-assisted therapeutic journey
Integration practices that help transform insight into meaningful change

This experience is designed to help you reconnect with yourself through the body, the senses and a more compassionate relationship with your inner world. Because the way we relate to ourselves shapes the way we show up in our relationships.

Why the body matters in this work...

Most relationship challenges don't live only in our thoughts.

They also live in our nervous systems.

The tightening in your chest before a difficult conversation.

The urge to withdraw when you feel vulnerable.

The anxiety that appears when connection feels uncertain.

The protective patterns that emerge when you fear being hurt.

These experiences are not simply thoughts to think differently about. They are experiences happening within the body.

That's why Love as Medicine combines ketamine-assisted psychotherapy with somatic and embodied practices designed to help participants reconnect with themselves in a deeper way.

Throughout the experience, you'll be invited to slow down, connect with your senses, listen to your body's wisdom, and explore the ways your nervous system shapes how you love and connect. There will also be invitations to do sensual embodied work with a partner.

The Research Behind This Work

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) has been widely studied for its impact on depression, trauma and emotional regulation. More recently, researchers have begun exploring how these internal shifts affect relationships and relational functioning.

Research suggests that ketamine can temporarily increase neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to become more flexible and open to new perspectives and patterns.

Emerging research on ketamine-assisted relational and couples work suggests improvements in communication, emotional openness, empathy, relationship satisfaction and the ability to navigate difficult relational dynamics.

Read the research:

While ketamine can create the conditions for insight and change, meaningful transformation happens through preparation, integration and the willingness to bring those insights back into everyday life and relationships. Read more about the research here.

The Relationship Beneath the Lifestyle

Many people discover that relationship growth doesn't end when they find the right partner, explore new experiences or create a relationship structure that aligns with their values.

In fact, those experiences often reveal new opportunities for growth.

Questions like:

Why do I struggle with jealousy even when I believe in what we're creating?
Why do I sometimes feel disconnected despite having loving relationships?
Why is vulnerability harder than I expected?
Why do certain situations activate fear, insecurity, or comparison?
Why do I keep repeating the same patterns across different relationships?

These questions aren't signs that something is wrong. Instead they're actually invitations to deeper self-understanding.

This Love As Medicine workshop designed for those in various types of relationships, creates space to explore these experiences with curiosity, compassion and support... helping you to better understand the emotional, relational and nervous system patterns that shape how you connect with yourself and others.

Screening Fee:

A $150 per person screening fee is due after your initial application has been reviewed and you are invited to move forward with the screening process. This fee covers the screening process with the facilitator and ketamine prescriber and will be applied toward your total Love as Medicine workshop investment if you are approved to participate.

Because the screening fee covers professional services provided during the screening process, it is non-refundable once screening has begun.

Workshop Payment: Following final approval from both the facilitator and prescriber, your remaining workshop balance will be due 7 days prior to the workshop. If final approval occurs within 7 days of the workshop, the remaining balance is due upon approval.

Cancellation & Refund Policy: If you are approved to participate and later choose to cancel, cancellations made more than 7 days before the workshop will receive a refund of any workshop payments made beyond the $150 screening fee. Cancellations made within 7 days of the workshop are non-refundable.

If either the facilitator or prescriber determines that the workshop is not an appropriate fit during the screening process, you will not be responsible for the remaining workshop balance. The $150 screening fee remains non-refundable because it covers screening services already provided.

If the workshop is cancelled by Senses, workshop payments will be refunded or may be transferred to a future workshop.

You'll be fully supported through preparation, the journey itself and integration... with care, clarity and professionalism.

Please Note:
- The cost of the prescribed ketamine is not included. You’ll fill your prescription through a licensed compounding pharmacy, which will ship the medication directly to you. This typically ranges from $80–$120 per person, depending on dosage and pharmacy fees.
- Details and screening fee payment instructions will be sent by email if your initial application is accepted and you are invited to move forward with the screening process.
