Fees to Menla for room and board are arranged separately with Menla.
BIPOC Scholarships and limited reductions in fees will be processed on request and dependent on registration as we are a non-profit organization.
Participants will be requested to provide their suggestions for topics and their potential offerings to add to the scheduling. Zoom sessions will precede the event for planning and participation. Our intention is to have a sharing that elevates all of our practices conceptually, methodologically ,spiritually, and practically. And to support the growth and development of the KAP community of practitioners, and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy.
Please apply now as there is large interest in the event based on the results of our survey.

$3,500 – $4,500 sliding scale

Covid Precautions
KTC has had its own experiences with COVID disrupting our programs and we wish to take appropriate and necessary precautions:
- COVID-19 VACCINATION IS A REQUIREMENT FOR ATTENDANCE.
- Please test two days before attending the program.
- Please test the morning of the program before leaving your abode.
- We will test on arrival so long as the Covid risk is present. We follow CDC guidelines.
- We may test subsequently during the training.
- If training is canceled due to COVID-19, we will refund fees minus $100 if the cancellation precedes the commencement of the training, with consideration for any non-refundable expenses we have made.
- If training is canceled during its course, refunds will be prorated to the length of the training and expenses incurred.
- If an individual contracts COVID-19 and cannot attend the training, a refund will be made according to expenses expended by KTC.
- If an individual contracts COVID-19 during the training, they will be asked to leave the training, and a refund will be made according to the duration of their presence in the training and expenses incurred.
- If a person becomes COVID-19-positive during the training and leaves, it is up to the other participants to decide to stay or leave. Testing will be conducted daily. Suppose a participant makes a voluntary decision to leave the training. In that case, they will have their remaining fees (after deduction for expenses incurred to the time of their departure) put forward towards another training. KTC will hold the remaining credit for up to 12 months from the time of the training. KTC will do its best to provide training during that period.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Lucid News - Awakening a Broad and Critical Understanding of Ketamine
The Ketamine Research Foundation and its practitioner authors share our article for awakening a broad and critical understanding of the spectrum of benefits and hazards of ketamine’s use. As practitioners we are exposed to and probe the personal bases for ketamine’s extraordinary positive value to allay human suffering and for its dependence. We offer this work to increase knowledge about ketamine and ketamine assisted psychotherapy and to further compassionate awareness to individual susceptibilities and experiences. Our article is long and intricate in order to provide a full view. And in Memory of Ken Jordan, who honored us with his deeply thoughtful editing, this as his last contribution.
