OMAR THOMAS

Omar is a veteran and end-of-life doula whose Afro-Caribbean upbringing led him to seek out non-traditional answers to his own PTSD and trauma issues in the early 90's. His search eventually took him to Mexico where he underwent 30 days of fasting, isolation, and intensive sacred mushroom work under curandero guidance.

about dps

We are a psychedelic community with roots in Africa, the Americas, and across the Caribbean. We view sacred medicine use as a biological right for the exploration of existence, celebration of life,  and furthering the reality of healthy, peaceful, and balanced living in this world.
