A Journey Into the Heart of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy with The Nautilus Method
Join us for a 2.5-Day Experiential Training for Therapists, Chaplains, and Healers
Learn to guide clients through the full arc of healing—resourcing, medicine journey, and integration in this immersive, multi-sensory training for therapists!
Are you Ready to Expand Your Toolkit and Your Consciousness?
Learning how to facilitate psychedelic experiences can profoundly benefit you, both personally and professionally. It deepens your ability to hold space for transformation by teaching you how to regulate your own nervous system, create environments of safety and trust, and recognize the symbolic language of the psyche that emerges in altered states.
Through this work, you will learn to blend clinical skill with intuitive presence, balancing science and spirituality. This training expands your therapeutic toolkit with techniques for preparation, ceremony, and integration—skills that can enrich all aspects of your practice, even beyond psychedelic work.
Date: TBA
Time: 9 am to 4 pm on Friday and Saturday, 9 am to noon on Sunday
Location: The Lotus Center for Healing and Wellness
Cost: $1000
Why This Training is Different
In The Nautilus Method training, you will experience the client journey for yourself — from intention-setting to integration — guided by The Lotus Center’s clinical team and enriched with multi-sensory, nature and art inspired experiences.
At The Lotus Center, we’ve developed a specialized Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Protocol that integrates scientific research, spiritual care principles, and therapeutic best practices. This approach is called The Nautilus Method ©, and it honors both the neurobiological and the transcendent dimensions of healing, emphasizing the powerful roles of therapy and spiritual care. Grounded in evidence-based methods and guided by trauma-informed, ethically attuned care, our protocol creates a container where science, art, and spirit converge to foster deep regulation, insight, and renewal.
You will experience this first-hand during each day of our training as we blend education with direct experience, allowing participants to integrate new knowledge through their senses, emotions, and creativity. You will leave not only with new skills, but also with a renewed connection to your own inner healer.
