Ketamine: Science & Spirit of Psychedelic Healing (for the general public)

One hour overview presentation on ketamine assisted psychotherapy, offered to the general public in 2021 at East West Bookstore and recorded live. The psychedelic revolution is upon us. Clinical trials are underway for MDMA, Psilocybin, and Iboga, but they are still not readily available. Yet, more urgently than ever, we need healing on an individual and collective level. Ketamine is an available and legal drug that shows many of the same benefits as the more well-known psychedelics. This presentation with Linnea Butler will illuminate the research on ketamine, talk about its safety, and discuss how it facilitates healing. Find out how Ketamine psychotherapy intersects with spiritual healing.
