Dimensions Retreats
Algonquin Highlands ON
We work with clients in a collaborative, holistic manner, providing a safe and supportive environment for personal healing and transformation. Our approach is rooted in somatic and trauma-informed therapies, combined with mindfulness, neuroscience, and plant medicine therapies (cannabis). Every aspect of the client experience is designed to foster deep self-awareness, emotional healing, and personal growth.
From the moment we first meet with a guest, we begin by creating a personalized experience tailored to their unique needs. This collaborative approach ensures that each guest feels supported and empowered throughout their journey. Agreements on medication management, group dynamics, and creating a supportive environment are key aspects of this preparation.
Throughout the retreat, we guide clients through a series of group psychotherapy sessions designed to prepare them for ceremonial plant medicine experiences. These sessions focus on emotional processing, intention setting, and integrating somatic therapies to help clients connect with their bodies and emotions. We emphasize safety protocols, group cohesion, and exploring any emotional themes that arise during the preparation phase.
During plant medicine ceremonies, we offer compassionate, psychotherapeutic support, helping clients navigate the deep emotional and psychological landscapes that often emerge. By using techniques from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Deep Brain Reorienting, and Somatic Attachment Therapy, we provide the tools needed to process and integrate these experiences in a meaningful way.
Dimensions is not just about healing—it’s also about community. The retreat fosters connection and shared experience through group activities, shared meals, and therapeutic group sessions, creating a sense of belonging and support for all participants. With a strong focus on integration, Dimensions ensures that guests leave with the tools and insights needed to bring their experiences into their everyday lives, creating lasting change and growth.
