It isn't a secret that the veteran community is plagued with mental illness and suicide. The opportunity to experience a psychedelic retreat came to me a few weeks ago and fell on the exact same day as the funeral for a Marine that I served with who had committed suicide. So I felt that I couldn't pass it up and staying true to the intent of this podcast, I wanted to attend it with the intent to share the experience. Join Milo and me as we question Rick about the retreat and be sure to check out the 2nd half of this podcast where we discuss our experience and the impact it's had on our lives. Please help us share this information in hopes that we can put a dent in this epidemic of mental illness that so many people both veteran and civilian are struggling with. Book recommendation:"The Immortality Key", by Brian C.
