The Sanctuary Immersion
A Three-Day Journey of Physical Restoration, Expanded Consciousness & Lasting Integration
A New Category
What currently does not exist in the United States now does.
The Sanctuary Immersion is a physician-supported, luxury consciousness and regenerative wellness experience; one that intentionally weaves together regenerative medicine, nervous system regulation, energy healing, chiropractic medicine, bodywork, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy into one carefully choreographed transformational journey.
This is not a variation of what has come before. It is not a ketamine clinic; not a wellness retreat; not a luxury spa; not a psychedelic weekend. It is something more deliberate than all of them and more rare than any of them. It is a new category; the first of its kind in this country.
It exists for those who understand that the body holds what the mind has not yet processed; that healing does not happen in a single modality but through the careful orchestration of many; and that profound transformation requires not just the right medicine, but the right container, the right practitioners, and the right amount of time.
The Experience
Designed for an intimate cohort of six to eight participants, The Sanctuary Immersion unfolds across three days. Guests arrive the evening prior and check into the historic Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Virginia, where the deceleration begins before the work does. Private transportation brings participants to the clinic each morning and returns them to the hotel each evening; preserving the container and allowing integration to continue in an environment worthy of the work.
Day One
Arrival · Grounding · Opening the Body
Prepare the body. Open the nervous system. Establish trust.
The first day is devoted to creating safety; physically, emotionally, and energetically.
The immersion begins with a ceremonial cleansing of both the clinical space and each participant; an acknowledgment that the transition from everyday life into sacred healing work is itself a threshold worth honoring.
The body is then prepared through individualized therapies: chiropractic assessment and adjustment to restore structural alignment; regenerative ozone therapy to encourage circulation and oxygenation; Reiki energy work; and therapeutic massage and bodywork. Each protocol is selected for its ability to remove physical barriers and open the body to what the deeper work requires.
When the group has been physically prepared, participants gather together in a large circle on inflatable floor mats for their first guided Ketamine-assisted session. This opening journey utilizes a gentle intramuscular dose designed to establish safety, connection, and awareness; allowing participants to become familiar with the medicine while the medicine becomes familiar with them. Every guest is paired with a dedicated facilitator, maintaining a 1:1 support ratio throughout the entire experience.
Following the journey, participants engage in guided breathwork and reintegration conversations; allowing what has emerged to be gently witnessed, metabolized, and held. A nourishing vegan meal of seasonal soup and vegetables is served alongside coconut water and electrolyte hydration before guests return by private shuttle to The Jefferson Hotel.
The remainder of the evening is intentionally silent; allowing the nervous system to continue integrating without distraction.

Day Two
Expansion · Higher Awareness · Collective Healing
Enter expanded consciousness.
With the body prepared and trust established, the second day invites participants into a deeper exploration of consciousness.
Reiki practitioners work continuously throughout the day, creating a living field of shared healing. Participants both receive and offer Reiki within the group; reinforcing connection, compassion, and energetic awareness; and discovering through direct experience what it means to be both healed and healer within a single container.
The afternoon transitions into the immersion's central medicine experience. Sound bowls and therapeutic frequencies gently guide participants into an expanded state before the second Ketamine session begins; and throughout the experience, live sound healing continues, allowing frequency to become part of the therapeutic environment rather than simply its backdrop.
Following the medicine journey, guests move into individualized reintegration sessions with Kimla and Jamie, while Sydney and Laura facilitate ongoing group integration circles; ensuring every participant receives both personal attention and community support. Nothing is left to process alone.
The day concludes with another nourishing plant-based meal before guests return to The Jefferson Hotel for a second evening of intentional silence and reflection.
· · ·
Day Three
Integration · Celebration · A New Beginning
Transform insight into lasting change.
The final day is dedicated to embodying everything that has emerged throughout the weekend.
Guests begin with restorative bodywork designed to fully reconnect mind and body: massage therapy; ozone treatments; chiropractic adjustments; Reiki; and PEMF therapy. The body is honored as the keeper of everything the weekend has opened.
The group gathers to reflect upon what was discovered; identifying recurring themes, breakthroughs, and the intentions they wish to carry into everyday life. The conversation moves not from insight to analysis, but from insight into commitment.
The final Ketamine-assisted session is approached differently than those that came before. Rather than guiding the entire experience, Kimla gently leads the opening thirty minutes before allowing the collective energy of the group; and each participant's own inner wisdom; to shape the remainder of the journey. This final session is an act of trust; in oneself, in the work, and in what has been carefully prepared throughout the days that preceded it. It emphasizes self-trust, personal empowerment, and integration.
Individual reintegration sessions continue with Kimla and Jamie while Sydney and Laura facilitate group reflection circles that help transform profound insights into practical next steps; not as a way to contain the experience, but as a way to honor it.
The immersion concludes with a celebratory dinner at Lemaire inside The Jefferson Hotel; honoring both the journey completed and the life that awaits beyond it. Guests enjoy one final evening at the hotel before departing the following morning feeling grounded, restored, and deeply connected to themselves.
The Invitation
The world is full of places that will offer you information. There are very few that will hold you; fully, clinically, and sacredly; while something in you finally unlocks.
What returns to the world after three days inside The Sanctuary Immersion is not the same person who arrived at The Jefferson Hotel. Something has been restored; and something new has been given space to breathe.
This is the work. And it is ready for you.

In this course, Kim-la and Michelle Freed will take you into states of consciousness containing access into the elemental realms.
First, you will learn or expand your remote viewing and connection skills to locate these realms - the techniques to travel into them using mind portals. From beginner to more advanced remote viewers, this instruction will serve as a channel enhancement to your abilities.
Once you find and build your connection with the fae, water, air and space dragons (lu or naga), the elves (including Primordial Substrate elves seen by many on DMT), and other elementals, you will be trained on locating and finding physical nature portals using dowsing.
The protocols for connecting with the elementals are taught, including how to work with found and offered materials for building your intuitive art.
Kim-la, an engineer trained in sustainable building practices used by indigenous peoples in the Americas will share her steps for creating intuitive art. You will create your piece, inspired by, and meant to attract, the elementals.
Through a six-week process, you will open into new experiences of synchronicity with the natural world that will surprise and delight you beyond your dreams.
In our finale weekend, we will share with each other our profound journey into connecting with these wisdom beings. Together, we will use the ancient form of transmission - storytelling of your travels to these realms. We will learn who you met, what the earth offered for your creative expression, be it fairy house, dragon lair, or other home to attract elementals, or represent your journey to connecting and experiencing them.
It is here that we leave fundamentally different because of our journey together, building bridges to other worlds, and this one.
