At District216, this week marks a special occasion as we delve into the profound realm of healing and growth during Veterans PTSD & Psychedelics week. It's a time of learning, connection, and introspection as we navigate through stories of resilience and transformation. One important story that resonated deeply within our community was the interview with Alton Sanders, conducted by Hannah Jo at The District House on Wednesday evening.

Alton's journey is one of profound significance, marked by a courageous battle with trauma that permeated his childhood and adult life. As a veteran, he faced the additional challenges of reconciling with his past experiences and navigating through the complexities of PTSD. However, amidst the darkness, Alton discovered a beacon of hope in the form of psilocybin mushrooms.

During the interview, Alton shared his deeply personal narrative, illuminating the transformative power of mushrooms in his quest for healing and self-discovery. Through thoughtful questions and compassionate guidance from Hannah Jo, Alton's storytelling unfolded, offering insights into his remarkable journey towards living more presently and from a place of love.

It was evident that mushrooms played a pivotal role in Alton's healing journey, enabling him to cultivate forgiveness for himself and those who had wronged him. Today, Alton resides in Maui, where he facilitates psychedelic journeys for individuals seeking profound inner healing. His holistic approach extends beyond psychedelics, as he also imparts teachings on yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness practices.

Alton's positive outlook on life, despite enduring significant trauma, serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Following the interview, Alton graciously led the audience through breathwork exercises and basic movement, fostering a sense of presence and calmness within the room.
