The Most Beautiful Experience I've Ever Lived & Being Close to a Near-Death Experience | The Great Victory Ep. 18 (With Lennert Luypaert) - Podcast #284

“The near-death experience helped me release the biggest and most profound traumas I had in myself.” - In this electrifying and profoundly vulnerable episode, Isra García responds to two questions posed by Lennert Luypaert — one of his dearest friends — as he explores the razor-thin line between life and death, healing and chaos, breaking and awakening.

“I opened my eyes and saw him like a baby. We could start again from the beginning.”

What happens when two brothers face their deepest pain in a high-dose psychedelic ceremony? When a near-death experience becomes the gateway to liberation? When love, fear, and forgiveness collide on the razor’s edge of human transformation?
