Soul Strides Journey, Inc: Where Ketamine Therapy, Equus Coaching, and Group Process Come Together

October 21, 2024

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news! I was recently interviewed by Tricycle Day and Henry Winslow to discuss the launch of Soul Strides Journey, INC, a 501(c)3 joint venture between myself and Alison Hunter, LMFT. This collaboration brings together three powerful healing modalities: Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, Equus Coaching, and Group Process, offering a unique and transformative approach to personal growth and healing.

The text highlights how ketamine facilitates internal exploration, horses provide external feedback, and the group process offers social support. The graphic includes an image of dr. Herman smiling and the title 'psychonaut pov. '
The synergy of ketamine, horses, and group work creates powerful transformations. In her ‘psychonaut pov’ interview, dr. Sara herman explains how ketamine allows for deep inward reflection, horses act as mirrors to externalize these changes, and group process reinforces growth through community support.

What is Soul Strides Journey?

At Soul Strides, we integrate the therapeutic effects of psychedelic therapy—using ketamine—with the wisdom of Equus Coaching (equine-assisted therapy) and the healing power of group process work. Together, these three pillars provide a gentle, supportive environment where participants can experience meaningful transformation in a safe and nurturing space.

  • Ketamine Therapy: The ketamine journey offers a space for inward reflection, where participants can gently explore their inner world and connect with deeper layers of themselves, allowing for emotional release and healing.
  • Equus Coaching: In the second phase, equine-assisted therapy helps bring the insights from the ketamine experience into conscious awareness. Horses, being highly attuned to human energy, provide real-time feedback and assist in bringing hidden patterns into light with compassion and clarity.
  • Group Process: The group process serves as the final pillar, offering the wisdom of the collective in a nurturing and supportive container. Participants share their experiences, witnessing and being witnessed by others, which enhances healing through the shared journey of connection and understanding.

How Soul Strides Came to Be

During the interview, I shared how Alison and I combined our individual passions for these healing modalities. Through Soul Strides, we offer retreats designed to help participants reconnect with their true selves in a supportive and non-judgmental space, guided by the synergy of these three pillars.

The combination of ketamine therapy, equine-assisted therapy, and group process creates a comprehensive experience that addresses the emotional, psychological, and physical aspects of healing in a gentle and integrative way.

Why This Combination Works

Ketamine helps create new pathways in the brain, supporting healing from trauma, anxiety, and depression. Equus Coaching adds a layer of real-time, non-verbal communication with horses, reflecting the participant’s emotional state and helping them bring their inner insights into the world in a supportive manner.

The group process deepens the experience by offering a compassionate and safe space where participants share their journeys with others. The power of being seen and supported by a group helps solidify the healing process, fostering connection and understanding.
