In this episode of Mind Triumph, Aleks welcomes Sarah Thomas from Behold Retreats for a different kind of conversation — one about psychedelics, inner healing, and the voice in your head.Sarah explains how psychedelics, when held in the right setting, can help people become aware of the inner dialogue instead of being controlled by it.
