Last month, a Ukrainian delegation gathered in New York to promote “the psychological and spiritual resilience of Ukrainian people living in trauma, crisis, and war.” One possible avenue for healing? Psychedelics.
A man visiting from Ukraine asked the panel, “How can I help the guys I know who have lost friends?”
An audience member named Jonathan Dickinson, a partner at a psychedelic holistic healing company called Ambio, asked, “How are people finding resilience and hope right now?” He talked about how, for the past two years, his company has been providing U.S. Special Forces with ibogaine, a dissociative psychedelic derived from an African shrub. “As they transition to civilian life, it’s about being able to feel present, relaxed, not as reactive,” he said. “Combat experience requires a flow state.
A psychedelic solution has already been under discussion in Ukraine. After the panel convened, Yuriy Blokhin, who moved from Kyiv to Canada and who runs the North American branch of the Ukrainian Psychedelic Research Association, was reached by phone. “Ayahuasca saved my life after an episode of depression,” he said. “Then I met an Army Ranger, and we started using it to help special-ops veterans. We want to make sure that when the war in Ukraine ends there are world-class options.
