Training Testimonials
There is no replacement for wisdom when learning about Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and The Polaris Insight Center KAP Modules are not to be missed by anyone seeking thoughtful understanding of this work. The presentations are packed with helpful information, and easily shared for a variety of different professional backgrounds. The collaborative format of the modules encourages lively questions and the sharing of personal experiences. The information I learned from this course has directly impacted the quality of my work, but I was most struck by the profound level of knowledge and care of the presenters. Veronika, Harvey and Eric not only teach you invaluable skills, but they remind you of the humility and sacredness of working with expanded consciousness.
I want to congratulate you on an excellent decolonized training. I have to say after attending a number of trainings on psychedelic-assisted therapy, yours was to the point, engaging, balanced. I hope you feel proud of the work you are doing.
I was very impressed with the quality of the modules. The information the Polaris team presented in the modules was invaluable to my career. It’s clear the Polaris team has worked hard to create a quality program. Their passion was evident and I highly recommend the training.
Polaris Insight Center’s trainings on Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy allowed me to gain a complete understanding of the entire process from start to finish. I was able to have all my questions answered and finished the trainings with the necessary knowledge to feel comfortable providing KAP services to my patients.
It’s always a pleasure learning from the Polaris group. It is quite rewarding learning KAP from you all-how to be part of the solution of facilitating others’ healing process in ways meaningful to the client. The collegial, respectful dialogue between Veronika, Eric and Harvey set the tone for an effective learning environment and building cohesiveness in a physically separated class.
I have been very impressed by the Polaris Institute’s Ketamine Training Seminars. The seminars were immensely educational, comprehensive and focused on working with ketamine holistically, as opposed to a strictly medicalized administration. The seminars gave me the confidence to hold ketamine-assisted therapy sessions in my own private practice and help my patients in a truly comprehensive way.
Each and every training I have done with Polaris has been entirely worthwhile. Harvey, Veronika, Eric and other guest teachers are warm, deeply experienced and so committed to this work. They are truly authentic and wonderful humans in this field. While the info can be dense, it is interspersed with playful moments (I love the dancing!), Q&A, breakouts and more, which helps a lot to keep things fresh. They share resources, which have been so useful in my own practice. In short, worth every penny for me. Thanks Polaris!
Thank you so much for the continued online trainings, I found the whole day to be engaging and helpful. I enjoyed getting to know a few of the other clinicians in the breakout sessions, nice to feel more integrated. I am very grateful for this space to learn with other professionals, thank you!
Polaris Training was a very suitable supplement for me in the field of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, to which I devote most of my professional life (CPTR program at CIIS, MAPS training for working with MDMA, Compass Pathways psilocybin training). I have previously worked with ketamine in the psychiatric ward in the treatment of depressed patients by infusion, I joined Polaris training because I wanted to set up a center in Europe dedicated specifically to KAP. After completing 3 training modules, I feel enriched and I have directly integrated a lot of new knowledge into my own guidelines for working with KAP at our clinic.
After attending this training series I feel competent in my abilities to offer this medicine to Queer and BIPOC clients in need. I really appreciated the cultural sensitivity that was
present in this training and open discussions about how this Ketamine work will assist in my ultimate goal of serving marginalized communities!
I was very happy with the whole approach of Polaris to this work and to the training — the emphasis on the sacred and on the creativity that the work demands from all involved. I really felt that your priorities and your hearts were aligned with the highest ideals of this work, and that this was imparted in the content of the module and the way it was all delivered.
I felt really well received within the group and by all the presenters. The depth and clarity of their answers to my questions always felt spot on. It also gave me a much broader understanding of my own psycho-spiritual practice with psychedelics and that my current approach is very much deeply in alignment with the techniques you are utilizing, which is really inspiring to me. I am so deeply appreciative for this important healing work.
The curriculum was so well developed, and obviously the result of many many hours of careful contemplation, collaboration and construction by a remarkably talented team. A beautiful collage of science, knowledge, art and magic. All the teachers are remarkable in my experience.

Thank you so much for yesterday’s training. It was truly wonderful — beautifully and thoughtfully crafted, and so soulfully inhabited by you all. I feel I learned a great deal. Can’t wait for more!
I want to express how much I am enjoying these trainings. They’re packed full of great information offered by incredibly dynamic providers. I am so energized by what I am learning. I have been recommending the trainings to anyone who will listen. I found myself better prepared for the MAPS training having been through the Polaris curriculum and being acquainted with the core concepts of NOSC and the opportunities for its use in psychotherapy and inner-directed healing.
