Training Testimonials
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!
The Polaris training exceeded my hopes and has deepened and energized my work with KAP. Eric, Veronika, and Harvey are practiced and generous presenters, with so much wisdom and experience to offer I expect I could repeat the same module many times and continue to learn. In offering these intermediate level workshops they are providing an invaluable and rare resource to the KAP community.
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.
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.
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.
This Module 1 training for KAP was one of the most interesting, informative, entertaining, and engaging training I have ever had. Thank you so much for the great work you do.
Thanks to each and every one of you, once again, for a truly incredible training. I was awed by your inspiration and knowledge, and it was the most well organized online training I have ever taken (a difficult feat!)
I have done extreme measures of research and I am sure this is the best training. I am really enjoying it.
The KAP training with Polaris was comprehensive, engaging, and grounded in theory applicable to a variety of healers. I especially appreciated the training team’s ability to respond to questions around cultural appropriation, and social injustice, and explore what accessibility could look like for all who seek healing through Psychedelic medicine. From assessment to integration, navigating transference and countertransference, and riding the waves of both ecstasy and challenge that come with this work, I feel confident in my ability to provide thoroughly informed and ethical Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy because of the Polaris training.
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.
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!
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.
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.
It’s not easy to map the intersection of non-ordinary states of consciousness, psychology, and trauma. Eric, Veronica, Harvey bring amazing, depth, heart, and experience to their work. These trainings could be taken over and over, each time revealing another layer of wisdom and insight. I highly recommend the Polaris team and will be attending more of their offerings in the future
