Healing Psychedelic Retreats For Women Veterans: A Fundraising Dinner In Denver

In just a few weeks, on the evening of Tuesday, June 20th, Denver, Colorado, will play host to a remarkable event aimed at shedding light on a significant group of heroes: women veterans. The dinner, set to take place from 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM at the local hotspot, Bang Up To The Elephant, is much more than a gathering; it's a recognition of the valiant women who have served their country and continue to offer service to others in need each day.

This upcoming event is a collaborative effort between the KetamineTaskforce.org, Psychedelic Women, and Cannabis Correspondent Sara Brittany Somerset. These three forces come together with a shared purpose: to change the narrative that often overlooks and leaves behind the women veterans, the unsung heroines of our society.

Guests attending the event can look forward to a three-course meal that not only tantalizes their taste buds with exquisite vegan cuisine, but also symbolizes the honor, bravery, and dedication of these remarkable women. It's an opportunity to savor the culinary delights while acknowledging the courage and selflessness of our women veterans.

One of the most significant aspects of the event is the cause it supports. The proceeds from the dinner will be used to fund healing ketamine retreats for veterans, a novel approach to addressing the mental health concerns that many of our veterans face post-service. Research continues to explore the therapeutic potential of ketamine and other psychedelics, with these substances increasingly being considered as viable treatment options for various mental health conditions.

In the middle of the dinner, the event plans to pause for a solemn moment of silence. This pause is to honor and remember those who tragically lost their lives to suicide due to a lack of access to potentially life-saving medicines like ketamine or other psychedelics. Attendees are invited to submit names of loved ones lost to such circumstances, ensuring that their memory becomes part of the collective acknowledgment during the event.

Those looking to support the cause beyond the confines of the dinner also have opportunities to contribute. Sponsorship packages for the dinner, including a table seating ten for $1,500, are available. Proceeds from these packages directly enable a veteran to participate in a healing retreat. Online donations are also accepted for those who can't attend the event but still wish to make a difference in a veteran's life.

This dinner is set to be an evening of profound gratitude and tribute to the women veterans, their service, and their continued strength. Denver and the surrounding communities are waiting in anticipation for this event that promises to be a tribute to these heroes who deserve our recognition and support.
