“Trigger Warning: This podcast will discuss the guest’s personal experience with PTSD as a result of sexual assault. This may be triggering to listeners with similar experiences.” 

This is podcast is the powerful story and personal journey of Retired LT Commander US Coast Guard Kyle Retzlaff. Kyle is a Holistic Coach + Energy Healer + Facilitator of Andean Cosmology.  Kyle bravely shares his own deeply personal story of sexual abuse.  Kyle is motivated to speak about his own trauma to help normalize the discussion of sexual abuse so that these stories can’t be hidden any longer.

Kyle is a mental health advocate with a passion for assisting others working to find their path to internal peace. Having started life in the Midwest, he joined the military and was stationed at various locations throughout the country, eventually returning Illinois, where he still resides.

After serving nearly 35 years in the United States Coast Guard and the reserves Kyle was left struggling with my own mental health. He reached out for help with PTSD and personal energy healing journey began in 2013 with yoga, meditation, and later breathwork. After experiencing the feelings of joy and peace these brought to Kyle, he wanted to share with others who are in need. In 2018, Kyle started working toward becoming a holistic coach. He is now training for certifications in breathwork and Reiki to help strengthen that role. Kyle will also be starting a PhD program next year.

Please support this important court case financially so that the best defense can be provided for the women being charged for practicing their religion.

Attorney Greg Lake comes back onto the Psychedelic-Revolution podcast with an update on the Ayahuasca Religious Freedom case in North Carolina.  It looks like this case is headed to court on Oct. 2, 2023 and although Greg is working Pro-Bono to support the women being charged, there are some expenses related to being able to provide the best defense for the women especially in terms of bringing leading expert witnesses to testify and create a trial record for not only this case but all related psychedelic religious based organizations.  The defense of these woman is not only the right thing for the community to support but it also has far reaching implications which could eventually end up being heard by the Supreme Court which is why it is imperitive to prepare the case now with these experts.
