Transcendelic™: Our mission is transcendence through psychedelic experiences.
We host a variety of holistic wellness retreats that provide a safe and compassionate space and time for healing of mental and physical illness through the use of legal psychedelic medicines in conjunction with various modalities of therapy, integration circles, yoga, connecting with nature, massage and other bodywork, meditation and mindfulness, breathwork, nourishing meals, education about healthy living, time for fun and lightheartedness, and more.
We are a team of visionaries including licensed healthcare professionals with training in psychedelic-assisted and ketamine-assisted therapy, as well as other passionate professionals who are dedicated to your well-being. We cultivate unique experiences that allow you to discover the power of your inner healing intelligence. The path from illness and suffering to wellness and flourishing may feel long and arduous, but psychedelic-assisted therapy can skyrocket your progress and expedite your healing exponentially. Healing that would take years to accomplish in regular therapy settings can be accomplished in days at our retreats. With time spent on yourself at our retreats, you will discover healing is within reach. We blend science and evidence-based practice with spirituality to help you feel empowered to have the life you have been yearning for.
We are grateful for all our teachers past, present, and future for showing us the way toward our own healing, and we are eager to help you discover your way.

Why Ketamine?
Transcendelic™ works exclusively with ketamine at this time, as it a very safe and effective psychedelic medicine that is legal throughout the United States. Ketamine has been proven to be beneficial for a host of health conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, and chronic pain. Ketamine treats chronic health concerns by inducing a neuroplastic state in the brain, which in conjunction with therapy and other holistic modalities can lead to long-term changes in how you think, feel, and what you choose to do. Ketamine-assisted therapy at our beautiful holistic retreats allows you to have insights and breakthroughs for your healing within days that could have taken years in standard healthcare settings.
While ketamine has an excellent safety profile, we carefully monitor you before, during, and after your treatment sessions to ensure your comfort, and we have a critical care physician present for the extremely unlikely event of an emergency during treatment sessions. That is something other retreats do not offer. While we have never had a patient experience any adverse outcome from working with ketamine, we want you to know that our combined expertise is there to keep you safe so you can fully embrace the experience and let go of worry.
As other psychedelic medicines become legal, we will begin hosting retreats utilizing medicines such as MDMA, psilocybin, ibogaine, etc.
We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude for the wisdom and tradition of Indigenous peoples’ use of psychedelic medicines. We would not have the privilege of hosting psychedelic retreats without the millennia of healing practices of Indigenous people from all over the world. To give back, a portion of the proceeds of every Transcendelic™ retreat will be donated to the Chacruna Institute’s Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative of the Americas, which is an initiative that recognizes Indigenous peoples need ‘decolonized philanthropy with no strings attached, so that they can raise money for their salaries, their transportation and healthcare costs, the purchase of vital supplies for their projects, etc.’
By attending our retreats, you will be donating to this worthy cause. If you wish to make an additional donation to the Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative, please click the Chacruna logo below.
We center and value all human beings and are committed to creating a culture of belonging and equality. We practice diversity, equity and inclusion in our hiring and community-building practices. We are committed to being a leader in promoting diversity, equity and inclusion across the many diverse communities we serve.
