A flame needs tending, not proving.
Many men carry their weight alone, and call it strength. Tending the Flame is built on a different premise. What is alive in you deserves care, and the company of other men, honest, steady, without performance, can hold work that isolation cannot. The arc is the same structured container we hold for every cohort: preparation, three consecutive retreat days of supported medicine work with same-day integration, and integration to close.
How the retreat unfolds.
A clear sequence helps you understand the next step without asking you to commit before fit is known.
Virtual preparation.
Group preparation sessions, held in the evening: education, intention, and readiness.
Welcome dinner.
The cohort gathers. The container forms before any medicine work begins.
Three experiential days.
A supported experiential session each day, monitored onsite, with integration the same day.
Virtual integration.
Evening sessions to consolidate what moved and connect it to daily life.
Ongoing care.
Alumni pathways continue through Maintenance.
Is Tending the Flame right for you?
This may be a fit if you are…
- You are ready to set the performance down and do honest work
- You want depth work in the company of other men
- You can commit to three consecutive in-person days plus virtual bookends
This may not be a fit if you are…
- You are looking for medicine without the relational work
- You are in acute crisis or need a higher level of care right now. We can help you find it.
- You are unable to complete medical and psychological screening

What we will always be clear about.
- Ketamine is FDA-approved as an anesthetic; its use for mental-health treatment is off-label and considered experimental.
- Benefits vary, and screening decides fit.
- Every session is monitored onsite. No take-home ketamine, and no driving afterward.
- Confidentiality in a group is a shared commitment, not a guarantee. We talk about this in preparation.
- In crisis? Call 911, or call or text 988. We are not a crisis service.
