Psychedelic Marine - Alex Seymour Journeys to the Amazon for Healing

Published: March 4, 2018, 6 p.m.

Tune in to Supernatural Girlz this Wednesday night to hear our guest, ALEX SEYMOUR.   After returning from a tour of duty during the war in Afghanistan, Alex Seymour needed a way to cope with the extremes he experienced as a member of the Royal Marine Commandos, losing 7 men in his unit, and having his best friend critically injured by a Taliban bomb. Drawing upon his pre-deployment experiences with DMT and psilocybin mushrooms, Alex knew that entheogens could help him release his fears and traumas. But he also knew that simply taking psychedelics wasn’t enough--he needed ceremony, something sacred to draw meaning from his experiences, to help him reassess not only the war and his role in it, but his entire life. So he set out for the Amazon in search of the hallucinogenic brew known as ayahuasca and a shaman to guide him. The result is a crazy adventure where he journeys deep into the jungle and himself.
