If you’re interested in the intersection of intergenerational trauma and psychedelic therapy, this is one night you won’t want to miss. Death Trip: A Post-Holocaust Psychedelic Memoir is the first book in decades to address the scars of the Holocaust through psychedelic therapy.

A marriage story, a search for meaning, and a struggle to release the weight of ancestral trauma, Death Trip takes readers from the ayahuasca basements of the psychedelic underground to the darkest days of World War II. By turns wrenching and hilarious, it asks whether trauma can be inherited and, if so, if psychedelics can help us heal.

For this very special event, author Seth Lorinczi will join Chochmat HaLev’s HeartSpace after-shabbat group for a very interactive discussion of the themes of the book especially as they pertain to the Jewish community. In the process, he’ll unravel the tale of how the quest for answers took him halfway around the world to track down his family’s restless ghosts.
