Benjamin Forest is a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and psychedelic advocate.
What do you do when you hate yourself and the life you built, you've tried everything to feel better, and nothing has worked? On the outside, Benjamin epitomized the American Dream. On the inside, he embodied the American Nightmare: disconnected, lost, and hopeless. After 25 years of military service, Benjamin walked into a hospital on Veterans Day and told the nurses he wanted to die. Nothing had worked. Until psychedelics. What followed was a complete dismantling and rebuilding of who he was and the discovery of his most powerful purpose.
Expect to learn how to maintain hope when you've tried everything, the power of psychedelics including psilocybin and 5-MeO-DMT, how to prepare for, experience, and integrate a psychedelic journey, the pros and cons of military identity, how to burn parts of yourself and allow new ones to emerge, how to face your emotions authentically, what an integrated man looks like in today's world, and much more.
