Vancouver, B.C. & Toronto, ON – May 17, 2022 – Origin Therapeutics Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “Origin Therapeutics”), an actively managed, psychedelics industry-focused investment issuer, is pleased to announce that one of its portfolio companies, Dimensions (Dimensions Health Centres Inc.), has revealed designs for its first psychedelic retreat destination: Dimensions Algonquin Highlands.
Dimensions is a Canadian company offering safe and legal psychedelic-assisted experiences for personal growth, well-being, and creative exploration. Dimensions Algonquin Highlands is set to begin hosting private group retreats in July of this year, with plans to offer a complete suite of programs by 2023. Programs are planned to incorporate psychedelic-assisted ceremonies led by Plant Elders and guided by expert psychedelic therapists in stunning natural environments.
“Dimensions is on the leading edge of this emerging industry. We are very pleased with the team’s progress and commitment to the facilitation of evidence-based programs that are carefully developed by clinical and hospitality experts, while also respecting and honoring the history and use of plant medicine,” said Alexander Somjen, CEO of Origin Therapeutics. “By delivering these therapies in an integrative environment, we anticipate that outcomes will have the potential to produce significant, positive mental health outcomes in a time when so many desperately need it.”
Located just three hours north of Toronto, the 45-acre property is situated on the shores of Maple Lake and will include 17 private cabin suites, a dining lodge, and spa facilities. Designed by celebrated landscape architect Joel Loblaw in collaboration with DesignAgency, the grounds will also feature a meditation maze and scent garden, as well as an extensive forest trail network, an orchard, apiary, and organic garden which will supplement other local ingredients to provide the basis for the retreat’s menus.
Dimensions Algonquin Highland’s planned healing modalities include whole plant medicines in accordance with local regulations – in Ontario, cannabis, and cacao are permitted. Psilocybin is available for guests that have received approval from Health Canada’s Schedule 56 exemptions and Special Access Programs.
“We are impressed with the all-encompassing nature of Dimensions’ wellness programs, which are planned to incorporate yoga, Qigong, acupuncture, Reiki, cranial-sacral therapy, sound therapy, and deep-tissue massage, as well as outdoor activities,” added Somjen. “And perhaps most importantly, Dimensions will also offer post-retreat, ongoing integration and continued care, which is a crucial aspect of successful healing.”
