The Cosmic Connection During the Winter Solstice: An Inner Journey to the Roots of Light – Dec 2026
You’re Invited!
At Art of Counseling, we believe healing happens when we feel seen, supported, and connected. Alongside Becca’s clinical expertise and compassionate presence, this retreat combines ketamine medicine with grounding practices, creative exploration, and shared reflection. Together, we create space for insight, release, and renewal.
Whether you are a caregiver, therapist, healer, or simply someone longing for deeper self-understanding, this retreat offers a chance to pause, reconnect with yourself, and carry that clarity forward into your everyday life.
*this is a NON-RESIDENTIAL retreat
What you can expect:
- Art therapy practices that support both preparation and integration of your experience.
- Mind-body awareness through gentle movement, meditation, and somatic practices.
- A supportive medicine session held within the safety of the community and skilled facilitation.
- Opportunities for reflection through journaling, creative expression, and group dialogue.
- Continued integration during an online circle the week after the retreat.
