Questions and Answers

Before you reserve

The honest answers to what most couples ask before they apply. If yours is not here, reach out and we will walk you through it.

Is the medicine required?

No. Participation is always your choice, and the weekend is fully held either way. When you choose it, ketamine is administered and monitored by a licensed psychiatric nurse practitioner after a medical screening, with an experienced guide beside you the entire time.

Is this for couples in crisis?

No. It is for couples who love each other and want a deeper connection than daily life leaves room for. If you have left a group wellness weekend inspired but unchanged, this is what you were looking for.

Who else will be there?

Only six couples. The entire sixty-acre property is reserved for the group, with no other guests and no shared access.

What does it cost, and what is included?

$9,777 per couple, everything included: your Human Blueprint before arrival, medicine sessions with a psychiatric nurse practitioner, private sessions with Bernice, group and circle sessions, Reiki, all meals, and three nights with the property to yourselves.

What is the cancellation policy?

A $2,500 deposit per couple secures your spot and is non-refundable. The full balance is due by August 15, 2026. Cancellations before August 15 receive a full refund of the balance. Cancellations between August 15 and September 15 receive a 50% refund of the total investment. Cancellations after September 15 are non-refundable. Spots may be transferred to another couple with written notice no later than September 15.

Where and when is it?

Maple Grove Hot Springs, southern Idaho, about two hours from Salt Lake City. October 15 to 18, 2026. You arrive Thursday evening and leave Sunday morning.

How do we get there, and where do we stay?

Fly into Salt Lake City International Airport and drive approximately two hours south. The final stretch follows a scenic dirt road into the Caribou-Targhee National Forest. All lodging is included, private yurts and stone shelters on the property, with the full sixty acres yours for the weekend. Arrive Thursday evening, October 15. Departure is Sunday morning, October 18.

What are the accommodations and facilities like?

This is a nature immersion on sixty private acres, and the setting is part of the medicine. You stay in stone shelters and yurts, close to the land and the hot springs.

The bathrooms are intentionally rustic. Two four-season stone bathhouses (traditional camp latrines) sit near the shelters and the camping lot, and the River House basecamp holds men's and women's bathhouses with showers, alongside a grab-and-go store with snacks, cold drinks, ice, and firewood. Simple by design, comfortable by intention. You are here to come back to each other, not to a hotel.

What happens after we leave?

Integration support continues after the weekend, turning what surfaced into a lasting language between the two of you, so the change takes root instead of fading.

How private is this?

Completely. Every inquiry and everything shared on the property is kept confidential. Six couples, no strangers, nothing shared.
