$Seth Lorinczi's "Death Trip: A Post-Holocaust Psychedelic Memoir\u201d$

“Death Trip” is the first book in decades to address the scars of the Holocaust through psychedelic therapy.
If you’re interested in the intersection of intergenerational trauma and psychedelic therapy, this is one night you won’t want to miss. “Death Trip: A Post-Holocaust Psychedelic Memoir” is the first book in decades to address the scars of the Holocaust through psychedelic therapy.
A marriage story, a search for meaning, and a struggle to release the weight of ancestral trauma, “Death Trip” takes readers from the ayahuasca basements of the psychedelic underground to the darkest days of World War II. By turns wrenching and hilarious, it asks whether trauma can be inherited and, if so, if psychedelics can help us heal.
Lorinczi will be on hand to share themes of the book, read excerpts, and unravel the tale of how the quest for answers took him halfway around the world to track down his family’s restless ghosts.
“A very unique, courageous, and deeply moving book; I have personally never seen anything else like it.”
- Paul Levy, Undreaming Wetiko; The Quantum Revelation; and others
