TESTIMONIALS

VETERAN VOICES

I thought about dying every day to just end my misery and before heroic hearts I had countless inpatient stays for self harm and suicidal ideations/action and had two attempts at my life. Heroic Hearts changed my life. I got sober after the retreat, I had more self worth and I had a new lease on life because I know I’m here for a reason now. I will forever be grateful for the kind donors that helped me. Without this I don’t know where I would be but I’m happy I don’t have to find out

Since the retreat, my relationship with myself has shifted. I am less reactive. More present. I notice when old patterns of isolation or emotional suppression show up. Instead of judging myself, I have tools to respond with curiosity. That change has rippled into my marriage, my parenting, my leadership, and even how I approach my health.

The Heroic Hearts Project helped prepare me for the journey to come and made things seamless and easy. The retreat was absolutely amazing in every way possible. The safety, care, transparency, and facilities were top notch. My experience in those three ceremonies with Ayahuasca was exactly what I needed. My biggest takeaway from my experience was how I learned to love myself fully which I was never able to do my entire life.

HHP gave me something I had nearly given up on: a real chance at healing. Through this program, its dedicated coaches, and the powerful focus on integration, I was finally able to confront my trauma with the right support. I began to understand my behaviors not as personal failures, but as symptoms of unresolved pain. For the first time, I felt seen, understood, and guided toward lasting change.

Heroic Hearts ensured that I spent the two months before the journey preparing. They had support staff at the retreat to ensure that we felt supported. The 3 nights in ritual were life-changing and did more for my mental health than the 12 years of treatment I received at the VA. The support didn’t stop there; Heroic Hearts ensured that I had support after the treatment and taught me how to integrate the lessons I learned in the jungle into my life. They continue to offer support with virtual and in-person meetings, breathwork, yoga, and events.
