  • THE BODY RITUAL- AUGUST 14TH, 7PM

    Created for the Pollinate Women's Weekend in 2022, this powerful ritual helps you start the journey back to loving yourself through your body. The body knows the score and holds the truth, the truth that goes deeper than social custom. Join Pollinate Ritual Founder, Kathryn Dickel for this powerful, intimate ritual where women explore the vulerable power of being naked in a non-sexualized environment. This ritual will be limited to twelve women.  We will completely disrobe during the ritual so you must be willing to confront all your emotions being in this embodied state.

    Snacks will be provided. RSVP IS REQUIRED. This is a free will donation ritual, contribute what you can so we can keep this programming accessible for all. This is available to contributing Pollinate Patreon members for no additional contribution. To find out more about becoming a Pollinate Pateron member go here.

    If you have any questions or would like to talk through your participation reach out to hello@pollinateritual.com

  • THE KETAMINE INTENSIVE - AUG 15-16, 2025

    Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic medication that has been used for decades in hospitals and clinics. Recent research has shown that ketamine can also be a powerful tool for treating mental health conditions. KAP involves the use of Ketamine in a therapeutic setting, under the guidance of a licensed therapist, to help you explore and process difficult emotions and experiences.

    KAP has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including Depression, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and addiction. Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks or months to take effect, Ketamine can produce rapid and profound improvements in mood and outlook.The Ketamine Intensive is a small group, two-day retreat. You have the option to overnight with us at The Pollinate Hive House or return home and come back for Day 2. All food, medicine and integration programming/materials are included.

    This is a excellent opportunity to work with Ketamine in a limited capacity before deciding on a full protocol and to use this treatment in conjunction with the supportive scaffold of adjacent healing modalities and group work. The intensive will be capped at four people.

    Massage services are available for an additional cost and can be booked with registration for the weekend. Sessions are 60 minutes and will be scheduled for you inside of the weekend's schedule.
