Why a retreat works

Ketamine has the strongest evidence base for depression that hasn’t lifted through standard care. The retreat format adds what outpatient settings can’t — time, nature, and the protection of being away from the patterns keeping the depression in place.

Frequently asked questions

About the Retreat

Common questions

What is a depression retreat at Within Center?

An immersive 3-day or 6-day residential retreat for treatment-resistant depression. Ceremonial ketamine therapy combined with integration coaching, rest, and nature — held on twelve private acres outside Austin, Texas.

How much does a depression retreat cost?

3-Day Retreats start at $1,899 (shared room). 6-Day Retreats start at $3,999 (shared room). Private accommodations available at a higher rate.

All retreats include lodging, meals, ceremonial sessions, and integration support.

How is a retreat different from a depression treatment center?

Treatment centers typically provide ongoing outpatient or inpatient psychiatric care over weeks or months. A retreat is a contained, immersive arc — 3 to 6 days of focused inner work, then home.

Many of our clients return to ongoing care after their retreat. The two complement each other.

Can I travel to Austin for a depression retreat?

Yes — most retreat guests fly in from out of state. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has nonstop service from 90+ U.S. cities and is 25 minutes from us. See our travel guide for flight times and arrival tips.

Is this right for treatment-resistant depression?

Yes. Ketamine has the strongest evidence base for treatment-resistant depression specifically. A retreat format adds the depth of preparation, the protection of being away from daily triggers, and the integration time most outpatient settings cannot offer.
