Bloom Podcast

Episode Notes Interview with filmmaker Janine Sagert, the director of Veterans for Entheogenic Therapy, Ryan LeCompte of Veterans for Entheogenic Therapy, and Saj Razvi, director of Trauma Dynamics. Note, this podcast was recorded back when Bloom was called Evolver Network. From Shock to Awe is a feature-length documentary that chronicles the journeys of military veterans as they seek relief from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder with the help of ayahuasca, MDMA (“Ecstasy”), and cannabis. It takes an intimate look at how these substances can be used to heal our wounded warriors—and, by extension, their loved ones. Our intention with this film is to raise awareness of the healing properties of, and help change the laws regulating, ayahuasca, MDMA, and cannabis so that these substances can be legally available for responsible use in therapeutic, and spiritual, settings—especially for veterans with PTSD. Because we believe that all vets have a right to choose their own path to healing.
