Join us in Barcelona for "The Complete KAP Experience" – October 2026
October 15-23, 2026
We are delighted to announce that tickets are now officially available for a landmark event we are co-organizing through the Ketamine Research Foundation in partnership with Clinica Synaptica: The Complete KAP Experience in Barcelona.
This is more than just a conference; it is a deep dive into the clinical and soulful practice of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. This collaboration brings together the best of our US-based research and the pioneering clinical work being done in Europe.
The program includes:
October 15th | Intensive Fundamentals Workshop: An immersive day for practitioners to master the essentials of KAP, featuring a private tour of Clinica Synaptica’s facilities.
October 16th-17th | The 1st KAP International Association Summit: A high-level scientific congress. We will be joined by world-class experts including Celia Morgan, Chris Timmerman, Lowan Stewart, and Marc Aixalà to discuss the future of the field, from neurobiology to public health integration.
KAP Experiential Retreat: I will be personally leading an immersive, deep-dive retreat where we will explore the heart of the KAP experience, focusing on personal transformation and the sacred nature of the therapeutic journey.
Setting the Standard for Europe: This gathering represents a critical opportunity to define and uphold high-quality clinical standards at a time of rapid KAP expansion across Europe, ensuring the field grows with integrity and expertise.
We look forward to seeing many of you in Barcelona as we continue to evolve this practice together and connect the global KAP community in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
