What if your greatest traumas were the doorway to your deepest healing?
Dr. Richard Grossman — author of Trust and Forgive: The Medicine of Your Life, acupuncturist, and plant medicine practitioner with over 40 years of experience, offers profound insight into what it means to be human and how we can release pain across generations.
We explore how trauma fragments us — and how healing requires presence, integration, and courage. Dr. Grossman shares raw, transformative stories, including one harrowing ayahuasca vision that placed him in a Nazi death camp line — and how “trust and forgive” became his mantra of release.
We also discuss the sacred responsibility of using plant medicine, red flags in ceremony leaders, and why purification and discernment matter more than ever in today’s spiritual landscape.
