Release the Past. Embrace Possibility. Create Your Next Chapter.
Align & Rise: A Two-Day Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Retreat
December 12–13, 2026 | Integration: December 18
The Lotus Center for Healing & Wellness | Salt Lake City, Utah
What if the beliefs that have shaped your past don't have to define your future?
We all carry stories about who we are, what we're capable of, and what is possible for our lives. Some of these beliefs help us grow. Others may quietly hold us back, keeping us connected to old patterns, fears, or ways of being that no longer serve us.
Align & Rise is an intimate, two-day ketamine-assisted therapy retreat designed to create space for reflection, release, and renewal.
Through a thoughtful blend of therapeutic support, ketamine-assisted experiences, spiritual guidance, and intentional practices, you'll be invited to explore limiting beliefs, reconnect with what matters most, and begin imagining your next chapter with greater clarity and purpose.
Limited to 6 participants | $1,450 per person

What Are You Ready to Release?
Sometimes the things holding us back aren't external circumstances. They're the stories we've come to believe about ourselves.
I'm not enough.
It's too late to change.
I have to keep doing things the way I've always done them.
I don't know what I really want anymore.
These beliefs can become so familiar that we stop questioning them.
But what might become possible if you could see yourself, your experiences, and your future from a different perspective?
Align & Rise offers a supportive environment to explore these questions without pressure to arrive at any particular answer.
This retreat may resonate with you if:
- You're ready to explore old patterns and limiting beliefs.
- You're seeking greater clarity, purpose, or direction.
- You're navigating a life transition or new beginning.
- You want to deepen your connection with yourself and what matters most.
- You're open to a supportive, integrative approach to healing and personal growth.
You don't need to have everything figured out. You only need a willingness to explore.
A Different Kind of Retreat Experience
At The Lotus Center, we believe meaningful healing involves more than addressing symptoms. It can also involve reconnecting with yourself, discovering new perspectives, and creating space for possibility.
Align & Rise brings together three complementary elements:
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
Under appropriate medical supervision, ketamine-assisted therapy may help some participants experience shifts in perspective, emotional processing, and self-reflection. Every experience is individual, and specific insights or outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
Reflection, Intention & Spiritual Exploration
Guided reflection, journaling, intention-setting, and experiential practices invite you to examine the beliefs and patterns that may be shaping your life, while reconnecting with your own values, hopes, and sense of purpose.
Integration & Meaningful Next Steps
The retreat is designed to extend beyond the ketamine experience itself. Through discussion, reflection, and a follow-up integration gathering, you'll have opportunities to explore what emerged and identify ways to bring meaningful insights into everyday life.

- Explore insights and meaning
- Discuss how to translate the experience into everyday life
