A Legal, Guided Wellness Experience for Deep Healing & Growth
At SoulCare Studios, we believe in the profound healing power of nature, ceremony, and community. That’s why we’re excited to offer two deeply nourishing retreat pathways: Ketamine Healing Journeys and Psilocybin Healing Journeys.
Whether you’re seeking emotional healing, a renewed sense of purpose, or a deeper connection to yourself, these journeys can unlock profound insights and lasting change, all within a supportive and structured setting.
Ketamine Healing Journey Retreat
Why Ketamine?
Ketamine‑Assisted Therapy is a fast‑acting, evidence‑based approach shown to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, and emotional distress by promoting neuroplasticity and helping break entrenched patterns
Why Experience this Journey in Nature?
Our retreats take place at a number of local locations near the beach or the redwoods. Being immersed in natural surroundings helps deepen the experience, support nervous system regulation, and foster a sense of unity and connection to the earth and ourselves.
Why in Community?
Journeying with a supportive circle of peers and guides amplifies healing power. Group integration, shared ceremonies, and collective intention-setting create a container of safety, belonging, and resonance in addition to your individual preparation and integration.
What to Expect
Preparation & Medical Evaluation
Prior to your retreat, we’ll arrange a consultation including health screening, answering any questions, and intention setting to ensure safety and alignment going into this experience.
Friday Arrival & Opening Ceremony
Guests arrive Friday morning. We’ll begin with a Welcome Ceremony to establish intention, connection, and trust.
KAT Journey Sessions
Ketamine is administered via intramuscular injection in pairs, under the medical supervision of Dr. James White, MD—an Emergency Medicine physician board-certified since 2002 with 19+ years of experience in high-acuity trauma and hospital settings. Dr. White brings a strong safety-first clinical background, including work in clinical instruction and quality assurance, and has been practicing in the entheogenic medicine space since 2019.
When not journeying, participants can relax on-site, enjoying:
- The beautiful natural surroundings in Santa Cruz County
- Nourishing organic meals
- Healing sound bath ceremony
- Acupuncture, massage, reiki and other healing modalities
- Qigong, yoga and other somatic practices
- Group and individual integration
Saturday Morning
Begin the day with breathwork and gentle yoga to ground and connect. Group and/or individual integration sessions follow, creating space for insight and reflection. After lunch, engage in art-based integration to deepen your experience through creative expression. We’ll close the retreat with a heart-centered ceremony, gently bringing your journey to completion. To support continued integration, a one-on-one session will be offered after you return home.
