In this episode of the Conscious Evolution podcast we are gifted with a rare look into the mind of a man of color on a journey to heal himself and his community through sacred medicine.
Before he became a woke therapist, Victor Cabral was a young black man on a LOT of DRUGS. These drugs were legal and they were prescribed by licensed medical doctors.
At one point, a concerned friend suggested to Victor that he should try PSYCHEDELIC PLANT MEDICINE to help acknowledge and heal his lifelong intergenerational trauma. His friend had tried it with success and was eager to share this life changing experience with Victor.
Psychedelics??? Victor JUST SAID NO.
He had a negative "psychedelic drug user stereotype" ingrained in his mind and he was too busy getting educated, earning advanced degrees and certifications along with numerous accomplishments in research and legislation for his BIPOC (Black and Indigenous People of Color) community with a focus on men of color.
Through sacred plant medicine, Victor shares how he found the trajectory he was seeking. In his case, facing his dark emotional shadows as he sat in ceremony was the impetus to "TRANSCENDENCE", the film he is currently producing.
Tune in to learn more about the film and how you can support him.
