There is more than one way to heal.
Whether ketamine isn’t an option, or you’re seeking integration after a powerful experience, you’re not alone.
This program is for you if
-
You were interested in ketamine therapy but were not a safe candidate due to medical or psychiatric contraindications
-
You want transformative healing without medication
-
You have had a psychedelic experience and feel stuck, dysregulated, confused, or unable to integrate it
-
You sense it is time to evolve and you want a structured path with expert guidance and daily practice
What it is
"The Way of the Butterfly" is a structured 8-week virtual program or in person led by Dr. Cassius Drake and Jacqueline Drake.
You will learn how to center, connect, and work from the heart as a catalyst for healing, and you will build a simple daily rhythm that supports your mind, body, and creative spirit.
The goal is not just insight. The goal is a new foundation you can live from.
