Coming up! Join us for a healing weekend retreat in the woods

Group Ceremony Weekend at Alton Collins Retreat Center
August 25-27, 2023

You are invited to join in a sacred, healing weekend in the woods with the facilitators of the Oregon Center for Psychedelic Somatic Therapy. One key question that we'll address is: How to choose the right action and response at the right time, to enact values that respect human life and help us all heal.

Focus on healing with guided ceremonies: What to expect
We will gather at the Alton Collins Retreat Center outside of Portland OR on Friday afternoon, August 25th for a community introduction and welcoming circle followed by a group ketamine ceremony. We will finish our first evening together with a delicious dinner prepared by the executive chef of the ACRC and a closing ceremony.

On Saturday morning, we will again gather for an all-levels yoga experience, then breakfast. Since physical exercise is one of the most powerful agents for cultivating well being, we will then gather for an all-levels functional patterns exercise class with Randall. After lunch, we'll have some free time in which to walk the beautiful nature trails of the ACRC, or just to take a nap. Saturday afternoon we'll gather again to initiate a Conscious Cannabis circle, followed by dinner and a closing circle.

On Sunday morning, after another all levels yoga class, we gather for breakfast, followed by our group closing ceremony. After lunch, we depart from the retreat center.

"(Substances used during the Event such as ketamine would be used as prescribed by a licensed provider, and in the case of cannabis, as obtained by the participant prior to the Event and brought to the Event by the participant.)”
