Description
Join Fawad Kalsi, CEO of Penny Appeal Canada, for a candid and thought-provoking exploration of faith, addiction, healing and the growing conversation around psychedelics.
Drawing on his own extraordinary journey from imam to opioid addict and back again, Kalsi reflects on the role psychedelics played in his recovery and how those experiences intersected with questions of spirituality, consciousness and belief.
Exploring mental health, Islamic perspectives on altered states and the search for meaning in moments of crisis, this deeply personal conversation invites audiences into an open discussion about suffering, transformation and the complex relationship between faith, healing and human experience.
