When was the last time you dismissed a compliment, didn’t take that offer of help, or put everyone’s needs before your own? Many of us know how to give love, but do we really know how to receive it especially in our important relationships? The Pollinate Cacao Ritual was specifically created to help us step into the space of deep receiving and begin our journey to challenge our lack of self love expressed when we don’t fully receive the love of others.

This ritual, aided by the heart opening power of ceremonial cacao uses partnered exercises to continually pull you into a space of deep receiving. Open to all confiurations of 1-1 relationship (romantic, friends, family etc.). Sign up as a pair. Plan for about 2 hours of time.

While beneficial, this ritual is not meant to be used as a therapy modality for any relationships in a challenging phase of their growth. We recommend you consult your therapist as to whether this is the right time to engage in deepening your connection with this ritual. Free free to reach out to hello@pollinateritual.com if you have questions about the ritual or want to talk through anything. 

This ritual does involve touch, so please be aware of this if you struggle with touch

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.
