Quiet the Sirens follows three firefighters as they confront the profound and lasting effects of PTSD. Their search for healing brings them to Roots to Thrive, an innovative group therapy program in Nanaimo that blends traditional treatments with the transformative potential of psychedelic ketamine.

The program’s remarkable results are reshaping the future of #MentalHealth care. Through intimate storytelling and unflinching honesty, the film explores the deep scars of #trauma and the hope that #PsychedelicNedicine offers. Alongside these personal journeys, it also looks at the evolving history of #PsychiatricTreatments—and the questions that come with their resurgence today.

revisiting some of the amazing talks by Terrence McKenna. here's just one great nugget:

“Plato talks about the GOOD the TRUE and the BEAUTIFUL… because “good” is abstract, “true” is abstract, but beauty is felt, perceived by the senses as music, as painting, whatever it is. So the bridge to the metaphysical absolutes of truth, and the good, is through the palpable realm of the beautiful.”

Hi! I'm doing my #introduction again, since some of my publications/lectures are in English.

I work in history of contemporary medicine (#histodons #histmed) and specialize in the study of the medical use of psychotropic drugs, such as cocaine or #LSD.

You can find two of my short articles dedicated to highlighting women's history within #psychedelicstudies here: https://chacruna.net/author/zoe-dubus-ph-d-c/

I am delighted to discover you here!
