Upcoming Ketamine Retreats:
Where our ketamine assisted therapy retreats take place?
Our house of healing is nestled on 19 expansive acres of land in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley in Maurertown, VA — just 90 minutes outside of Washington, DC.
The retreat program:
Our retreats at Roots & Wings Integrative Healing are thoughtfully structured to guide participants through a holistic journey of self-discovery and connection. Over three days, we blend grounding practices, intentional rituals, and communal experiences to foster transformation and integration.
On Day 1, participants arrive to a warm welcome, beginning with a circle to build connection and set intentions. After a grounding session, the first dosing session unfolds, followed by a break with light refreshments. The day continues with a community connection activity, an integration circle, and a shared meal, concluding with a reflective sharing circle to prepare for restful integration.
Day 2 deepens the journey with an optional morning movement session, followed by reflections and grounding rituals to set the stage for the day’s dosing session. Afterward, participants enjoy another community connection activity, integration circle, and shared meal, ending with an evening sharing circle and gentle transition into rest.
On Day 3, the focus shifts toward integration and closure. An optional morning movement session precedes the final welcome and integration circle. Participants gather for a closing ritual that honors the journey and transitions them back into daily life, departing with a sense of connection and renewal.

Program cost:
We are committed to making this powerful healing modality as accessible as possible, and one of the benefits of a group retreat model is that one’s investment (time, money, energy) stretches further in this format.
Lodging:
Overnight lodging is not available at the retreat location, so we recommend staying at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Strasburg, located about 15 minutes from the retreat site.
On dosing days (Day 1 and Day 2), a professional driving service will shuttle participants between the retreat location and the Fairfield Marriott hotel. On the final day of the program, you are welcome to drive yourself to the retreat site.
In the past, participants have been able to check in early at the Fairfield Inn & Suites before being shuttled to the retreat. We recommend calling ahead to request early check-in.
Transportation:
Transportation will be provided between lodging in downtown Strasburg and the retreat. If you are lodging outside of Strasburg, VA, you may use Uber at your own expense. Participants will be picked up from their lodging location between 9-9:15am Friday morning and returned at the close of each day.
Food and nourishment:
Each day we will come together as a group to share a meal, fostering connection and community. To ensure a safe and comfortable experience during dosing sessions, participants are required to refrain from consuming food or liquids, aside from small amounts of water, on dosing days (Days 1 and 2). Ketamine, like other psychedelics, can occasionally cause dizziness, nausea, or, in rare cases, vomiting, so having an empty stomach is essential.
Throughout the retreat, a variety of snacks, coffee, and tea will be readily available, so there’s no need to purchase additional food. While you may feel hungry in the morning, a nourishing soup will be served as soon as your dosing session concludes. Though your typical eating schedule may be temporarily disrupted, we’ve ensured there will be plenty of delicious options to keep you satisfied and supported during your stay.
How do I prepare?
We guide each participant through a thorough preparation process, including an initial exploration call, a medical consultation, a 1:1 preparation session with a therapist, and a group preparation meeting before the retreat experience. This ensures you arrive feeling grounded and ready. During these connection points, we will discuss both process-based and logistical details so you have all of the vital information that helps you know what to expect and prepare accordingly.
