Heroic Heart’s Mission
Heroic Hearts Project (HHP) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that connects military veterans struggling with trauma to psychedelic therapy options including ayahuasca, psilocybin, ibogaine, and ketamine treatments in combination with professional coaching and integration. We provide these veterans, who have often exhausted all of the resources offered by the Department of Veteran Affairs and don't know where to turn, with education about and access to these alternative healing modalities. Our mission is to restore hope and empower each veteran in his or her own healing process.
Secondarily, HHP aims to contribute to the growing base of psychedelic research, to educate the public on the potential of psychedelics based on the outcomes of this research, and to advocate for policy changes enabling increased and more equitable access to psychedelic therapies.
It costs approximately $4,000 to send each veteran to a week long retreat through the Heroic Hearts Program.
A Mission Within Testimonial
For the better part of the last 18 years, Ryan Roberts struggled with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and a plethora of issues resulting from multiple traumatic brain injuries. He felt alone in the world. At times, he felt like a sociopath conjuring lies to serve as “emotions” because he couldn’t connect with anyone or anything… most importantly his Higher Self. Superficially, he “appeared” well put together but, on the inside, he had burnt down to a few remaining embers of Truth.
Ryan tributes this treatment to giving him a second chance on life.
CT’s Story
CT is a veteran who spent most of ten years in the Army as a Green Beret and then three years as a contractor. Although CT would come to realize that a lot of his underlying issues began long before his military service, thirteen years and seven deployments had also taken their toll. CT had become terrified of both his own death and the death of his loved ones after realizing in battle how easily and suddenly human life can be extinguished.
