Tried Mindbloom? Here's What a Group Ceremony Does Differently

Same medicine. A different room.

Picture her on a Thursday night in Lakewood.

The box came in the mail with an eye mask and a journal. She did the prep. She set her intention. Her husband sat in the kitchen as her monitor, scrolling his phone, checking on her every twenty minutes like he was told to. Something real happened in that bedroom. She cried. She saw something about her mother she had been circling for ten years.

And then she took off the headphones, and it was 9pm, and the dishwasher needed unloading, and there was no one to tell who had been there.

If that's you, this post is not going to tell you that you did it wrong. It's going to tell you what a group ceremony does differently, so you can decide what you need next.

Credit where it's due

Mindbloom made at-home ketamine normal. Before it, most women's only option was an IV clinic, a recliner and a bill for several hundred dollars every visit. Mindbloom put the medicine inside a structured program, at home, at a price more people could reach, and it treats in Colorado.

Here is what it offers, from its own pricing page as of summer 2026:

• Programs sold in packs. Six for $1,290 ($215 each), twelve for $2,220 ($185 each), and lower per-dose pricing for longer packs and returning clients.
• A clinician up front. A medical evaluation, the prescription and dose adjustments are included.
• You at home, with an app. Sublingual tablets or injectables, guided by the app's programs and music, with a person you know in the house as your monitor.
• Coaching around it. A guide for preparation and integration, messaging, and optional group integration circles.

For a lot of women that is exactly the right shape. It runs on your schedule. It's private. It's built well.

Where it can leave you

The medicine part happens alone. The person in the room is your partner or your sister, which is lovely and also not the same as someone whose whole job that afternoon is to hold the room. The integration is real, but it's optional and it happens later, on a different day, often with different people.

And the pack itself sends a quiet message. Six. Twelve. Something with a last one. Women finish the pack, feel the glow fade over a couple of weeks, and conclude that it worked for a while, as if a while was the most they could expect.

The medicine was never the scarce part. What's scarce is someone still in the room with you the Tuesday after.

What a group ceremony does differently

Here is how a live group ceremony works in RESET, and why each piece is there.

1. A facilitator is present the whole time. I'm live on Zoom from the moment doors open until the group comes back together. Before every ceremony each woman sends the address where she'll be and an emergency contact, so help can go to a real door if it's ever needed.
2. The same women, at the same time, to the same music. I curate the music and play it through Zoom, so the whole group moves through one arc together. You are alone in your own bed and you are not alone, and both of those matter.
3. The ceremony sits inside a month. Two live workshops on one skill, a ceremony, and the Studio, where integration and practice happen all month. The ceremony is one part of the month, not all of it.
4. There is no last one. RESET is ongoing. You don't finish it, you keep practicing. About a year is where the real change tends to land.

If you want to see the actual day, I wrote it out hour by hour.

Wondering whether a group fits you better? Five questions, five minutes, no call required.

Is RESET right for me?

So which one is for you?

Honestly, it depends on what you're missing.

An app-based program may suit you if

• You want to go at your own pace, on your own nights.
• You have a calm, steady person who can be in the house with you.
• You're mainly curious about the experience itself, and you want to start there.

A group ceremony may suit you better if

• You've already had the insight, and it keeps not sticking.
• You want people who were there, not just a recap afterward.
• You want structure around the medicine, so the month after the ceremony has a shape.
• You're done with things that end.

If you have already done Mindbloom, you're not starting over. You know how the medicine meets you. That's useful, and you bring it with you.

What it costs here

In Colorado, RESET is $297 a month, plus a one-time $300 medical evaluation paid directly to the physician, and the Studio is included. The evaluation is separate from the program and it is the gate: nobody joins a ceremony without medical clearance. Comparing per-dose prices across programs mostly compares different things, which is a whole post of its own.

If you're not ready for medicine at all, the Studio is the practice side of this work, and it's opening on its own soon, without the ceremonies.
