SUMMARY:Lineage\, Initiation\, & Oracle: A Descent Into Ancestral Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Ancestral or intergenerational trauma is gaining increasing rec
 ognition as awareness of hidden wounds and cultural biases rises in modern
  discourse. Journalist and memoirist Seth Lorinczi embarked on a personal 
 exploration of his own family’s secrets and traumas\, a journey that led
  him into the depths of underground psychedelic therapy. What began as an 
 investigation evolved into a terrifying\, yet transformative\, descent int
 o the shadows—one that would open up deeper layers of understanding and 
 healing.\n\nBuilding upon themes explored in his recent book\, Death Trip:
  A Post-Holocaust Psychedelic Memoir\, Lorinczi returns to The Alembic to 
 delve into provocative topics surrounding ancestral trauma. These include 
 the absence of cultural initiation in Western society\, the diminishing co
 nnection to one’s lineage\, and the power of nonlinear modes of self-exp
 loration\, such as creative writing\, dreamwork\, and psychedelic journeyi
 ng. Drawing from his own experience\, Lorinczi offers a candid and evocati
 ve exploration of the inner realms that many of us avoid\, but that hold t
 he key to understanding our familial and personal histories.\n\nThis event
  promises to be a powerful and liberating experience\, where attendees can
  explore the hidden facets of family\, identity\, and the self\, often bur
 ied under layers of ancestral pain. Be prepared to engage with emotionally
  charged storytelling that not only reveals Lorinczi’s journey but also 
 invites participants to reflect on their own histories and the ways ancest
 ral trauma may shape them. Expect to leave with new insights into the ofte
 n invisible threads connecting us to our past.\n\nAbout Death Trip: A Post
 -Holocaust Psychedelic Memoir:\n\nPaul Levy\, author of Undreaming Wetiko 
 and The Quantum Revelation\, calls Lorinczi’s book\, “A very unique\, 
 courageous\, and deeply moving work. I have personally never seen anything
  else like it.... It’s a journey through our individual and collective t
 rauma in order to find the hidden treasure enfolded within the darkness—
 our creative self.”\n\nSeth Lorinczi’s writing has been featured in Th
 e Guardian\, DoubleBlind\, Narratively\, Portland Monthly\, and various an
 thologies. Death Trip is his first book and has been presented at Yale Uni
 versity\, UC Berkeley\, the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust 
 Education\, and other cultural and literary venues. Lorinczi is also a co-
 founder of “Judaism &amp\; The Psychedelic Renaissance\,” a pioneering
  live event in Portland\, Oregon\, exploring the intersection of Judaism a
 nd psychedelic healing practices.\n\nGET TICKETS\n
