A new approach to Ketam1ne treatment to increase clinical value, reduce barriers and foster ongoing connection. Perfect for women who want to "get away" but not too far.

Women living in nearby states are welcome to join our small, supportive circle of women for our Ketam1ne Overnight Intensive (KOI) in North Raleigh on April 4-5, 2026.

The extended medication journey (IM injections) is medically monitored onsite for increased safety and comfort. Our intensive is designed to balance peaceful introspection with activities the encourage connection with self and others.

An overnight intensive offers the freedom to drive, therefore avoiding a need to find a ride, while also providing ample time to support a receptive mindset, relaxed reflection and connection with self and others.

The registration fee includes a virtual preparation group held a week prior, onsite medical care and all medications, 6 hours of therapist led expressive arts and integration groups, accommodations, meals, a KetKit and the Solo Integration Workbook & Journal.

With extensive experience in retreat facilitation, Living Arts carefully curates every detail to promote a sense of nurturing and relaxation.
Shared Queen or King Room ($795), Private Queen Room ($985), Private Master King with Private Luxury Bath ($1,020*) with financial accommodations available.

NOTE: If you need a Medical/Behavioral eval, it is NOT included in the registration fee. Trove offers a Super Bill for the $175 eval.
