Holistic Healing Ketamine Retreat During the Summer Solstice
With Robin McKinley, FNP-C, PMHNP, Jessica Block, Ph.D. and Rev. Dr. Theresa Pruett, Ph.D., RMT
June 17 - 21, 2026
Awaken the Mind, Heal the Body, and Nourish the Soul
Join us for a transformational Summer Solstice Ketamine Retreat designed to realign you with the innate wholeness you may have forgotten, but never lost. Set amidst the sacred mountains of the Catskills, this five-day experience combines ketamine therapy with the exploration of the mystery of consciousness itself.
Ketamine quiets the default mode network, the egoic narrator that clings to old stories and survival-based defenses, so the deeper realms of the psyche can finally speak. Beneath the noise of everyday thought live memories, beliefs, and emotional imprints that have been running the show from the shadows. Ketamine softens their grip, dissolving the boundaries that keep us separate from our truth. Suddenly, what once felt too painful to touch becomes accessible with grace, curiosity, and compassion.
This immersive retreat guides you inward, into the intelligence of the body, the spaciousness of the heart, and the subtle language of the soul. Here, the conscious and unconscious meet, revealing pathways to profound insight and lasting transformation. Guided by experienced practitioners who know how to cultivate a Reiki-rich, spiritually alive environment, and supported by the potent energy of the Summer Solstice and sacred land, this container is intentionally crafted for deep transformation. You will explore new ways of perceiving and awaken to the fuller story of who you truly are.

The Land
Menla Resort & Spa rests on land formed by a meteor strike millions of years ago, creating a gravitational field 0.2% lighter than the surrounding region—an energy uniquely conducive to spiritual expansion and healing. This sacred ground, once used ceremonially by the Native Americans, the Mahican and Esopus peoples, continues to hold their wisdom and presence.
A Sacred Invitation
As the earth reaches her peak of light on the Summer Solstice, we invite you to awaken your own inner light. This retreat is more than a ketamine experience – it’s a return home to yourself.
Spaces are limited to preserve the intimacy of the container.
