Benjamin Forest spent 25 years as a military officer before a psychedelic ceremony did what conventional treatments could not: rescue him from suicidal treatment-resistant depression. That journey from the Pentagon to plant medicine transformed his life and led him to a new form of service—as an author, speaker, and coach dedicated to helping men face what they fear most inside themselves.

He is the author of Trip of a Lifetime: The Psychedelic Guide to Healing, Loving, and Living. His story has been featured in USA Today, LA Weekly, and The Good Men Project, as well as on dozens of podcasts. His work focuses on psychedelic healing, emotional courage, masculinity, sexuality, and becoming a full human being.
