The Revolving Self

Ketamine Group Experiential

for Retreat Participants

Psychiatric Medical Evaluation, Prescribing and On-site Medical Monitoring by Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Many of us leave retreat spaces feeling both inspired and open… aware that something meaningful has begun but not yet fully integrated.

This offering is an opportunity to continue the work.

Following our time together at Salvatierra, Moonstone Counseling is offering a small-group Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) experience designed specifically for retreat participants who wish to deepen the themes explored during our time in Costa Rica.

This group experience allows participants to work with ketamine in a supported therapeutic setting, while remaining connected to the shared container and relationships that formed during the retreat.

Together we will explore the sensory experiences from Costa Rica to present day and into this journey while allowing new perspectives to emerge.

Why a Group Experience?

Participating in KAP with others who shared the retreat creates a unique supportive environment. Many participants find that group work:

• Deepens insight through shared reflection
• Strengthens the sense of community formed during retreat
• Supports integration through witnessing and being witnessed
• Allows themes from the retreat to continue unfolding

The group setting often helps participants recognize that personal transformation is both individual and collective.

This is an experiential opportunity and includes a virtual preparation session, an in-person dosing ceremony, and a virtual integration session. This special private offering also includes a group reiki and sound healing experience.

This is an experiential opportunity for connection and healing, but not a substitute for psychotherapy. We strongly recommend engaging with your therapist as you prepare for this experience, and so that you have ongoing support following this group. If you are in need of a counselor, we would be happy to provide some referrals.

  • This group is open participants & hosts of “The Revolving Self” Retreat in Costa Rica.

    This is an offering to extend integration from your individual and collective experience in Costa Rica into the present and explore themes from the retreat with the assistance with group KAP.

    No prior experience with psychedelics is necessary.

    • Prep Session
      Monday, Oct 26 (Virtual via Zoom)
      An opportunity to open the group container, set intentions, and prepare your inner landscape.

    • Experiential Session Friday, Oct 30 (2p-5p) (Westlake Office)
      A 3-hour in-person KAP session held in supportive community. You’ll engage with the medicine in a safely held container, facilitated by Carly & Hannah.

    • Integration Session
      Thursday, Nov 5, 7 PM (Virtual via Zoom)
      Gentle reflection, meaning-making, and support to integrate your experience into everyday life.

  • This group experience requires a medical evaluation and clearance prior to participation. Costs for the medical evaluation will vary based on health insurance coverage.

    Once you register, you will receive a link to set up an appointment for this eval. If not covered by insurance, cash pay for evals are $250.

  • Carly Bassett, LCSW-S (Retreat Host) and
    Hannag Collmann, LCSW (Retreat Guest)
    Are both clinicians experienced in trauma, grief, and psychedelic integration. Carly & Hannah are trained in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and offer KAP service at Moonstone.

    Favi Parrilla will support with Reiki & Sound integration

    Sol Psychiatry will provide the medical evaluation, medicine administration and medical oversight.

  • Retreat Group Special rate- $150 per person (regularly $350) and this includes preparation, dosing ceremony and integration sessions. This fee also includes group Reiki and sound healing at the end of the dosing ceremony.


    This fee does not include your required medical evaluation or ketamine prescription.


    Medical evaluations and prescriptions will be handled through Sol Psychiatry, our partnered prescriber. You may choose to use your insurance for your medical evaluation, and that can reduce costs. Cash pay medical evaluations are $250.

    Dosing and med administration fees are $75.

    1. Can I drive after taking ketamine? No, you cannot drive and will need to arrange for a ride home from the office.

    2. Where will the dosing session take place? Moonstone Counseling Center - 303 Camp Craft Rd, Ste 300, Austin 78746

    3. How can I learn more about ketamine and risk/benefits? The psychiatric NP, Ashley, will be able to discuss medical concerns and risks/benefits from ketamine treatment.

    4. How long does the ketamine “journey” last? Typically the journey is 40-60 minutes.

    5. If I want to do more KAP work after the group, is that possible? Once you are cleared by Sol, you can discuss options for ongoing KAP. At Moonstone, all KAP is done with a trained therapist. You would need to be assigned to a KAP-trained clinician at Moonstone to engage in 1:1 KAP work.
