Training Testimonials
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.
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
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 completed Modules 1-3 with Polaris Insight Center. Eric, Veronika, and Harvey are excellent teachers and practitioners. The didactic content and real-world clinical experience they offer is as pragmatic as it is deep and meaningful. I am very grateful for this training as preparation for Ketamine (and psychedelic) Assisted Psychotherapy.
Experienced psychotherapist with special training in psychedelic integration, somatic therapy and developmental trauma.

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.

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 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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
