Training
The Advanced Sharing Retreat is open to KPA and others who have attended different KAP trainings and who have at least begun to practice KAP. It will include group experiences—psycholytic mornings and higher dose afternoons—all IM–and presentations and case discussions. Our program is in process, and we will solicit interest from participants. Sessions will include: Successes and Failures; Case Presentations as Consultations; Practice Issues; Working in Groups; Couples; Adolescents; Our Methodologies; KAP and Sex Therapy; Ketamine and Emerging Psychedelics; Diversity, Identity and Culture; Commercialization and Where We Are Heading; Expanded Awareness and Movement in KAP; Trauma and KAP; Update on Science; and other topics as we bring them to our attention. We would conduct the program within a contemplative practice set. Please see this as an opportunity to expand our connections and skillful means. Please see this as an opportunity to come together as a community of devoted practitioners. We are committed to sharing and fun. All of our trainings and events have created kindness and affection. We welcome your application and attendance.
As this is a Sharing event, aside from Organizers, Providers, and our Support team, we are not paying for Leaders as we do in our Fundamentals program. In the spirit of collaboration, we are asking applicants to pay their tuition fees on a sliding scale by your own estimate in an honor framework of fees of $2500-$3500, regardless of degree.
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.
Fees to Menla for room and board are arranged separately with Menla at https://menla.org/

KTC Covid Precautions and Guidelines as of August 2023
With the recent upsurge of Covid 19, we had our own experience of two participants, who were unknowingly harboring the virus, attending our August training. They tested Covid positive on the first and second full days of the training and had to leave. Learning from this disruptive and fearful experience, we are mandating new testing for your and our health. The program continued after four additional participants voluntarily departed in concern for their protection. Fortunately, with daily testing, no one else tested positive and the training concluded with a sense of great community and great learning. To be clear, it was tough going.
The incubation period appears to be 2-3 days from exposure, though it may be even longer—up to 5 days. The current strains seem quicker to become symptomatic.
We wish to take the necessary precautions. These are as follows:
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

We will do a on-site pre-admission screening” and “It is essential that we keep in mind that the pandemic is ever-evolving and it is possible that our workshops may have to be cancelled. In that case, fees would be refunded save for the processing fee of $100”.
