Dr. Pamela Kryskow and Graham Walker from Roots To Thrive, an

innovative Canadian therapy program that deploys visionary psychedelic

medicine to address a range of ailments.

According to its website, Roots To Thrive describes itself as a living

curriculum that is designed to reconnect humanity to its true nature, to

each other, and to all that is.

“From this secure and embodied place, we remember who we are, the

abundance of resources around us, and our innate capacity for healing,”

it reads.

The organization was founded in 2019, and is Canada’s first and only

multidisciplinary, non-profit health care practice to legally offer

evidence-informed, multi-week, group therapy programs that use a

community of practice model, uniquely designed to address trauma and to

promote resilience, and to also include the option of

psilocybin-assisted and ketamine-assisted individual and group therapy.

In this conversation, we discuss the transformative power of psychedelic

treatments and how the organization unites those experiences with an

enlivened sense of community and ritual to heal people.

Such visionary experiences and related group work helps participants

transcend the limits and isolation of most modern lifestyles and find a

deeper sense of meaning and connectedness. People often reset themselves

and become more open to the possibilities of spirit and community.

Dr. Christopher Avis is a physics instructor and climatologist from

Camosun College in British Columbia, who had his worldview transformed

after taking ketamine as part of a treatment program for depression at

Roots To Thrive.

Pamela Kryskow is a medical doctor with an extensive CV surrounding

psychedelic research and treatment. She is the medical lead for the

Roots To Thrive program, and founding board member of the Psychedelic

Association of Canada and the medical chair of the Vancouver Island

University Post Graduate Certificate in Psychedelic Medicine assisted

Therapy.

Graham Walker is a clinical counselor and the Roots To Thrive alumni

facilitator.
