In search of emotional healing and inner peace, Lisa joins a weekend psilocybin retreat with two other women also living with cancer. The retreat is guided by Heather A. Lee, a certified psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist in Colorado and a breast cancer survivor herself. Heather is at the forefront of pioneering safe, legal, and compassionate retreats for women at all stages of their cancers. Directed by Arthur Nazaryan and produced by the team at Reason TV, Last Journey is a testament to the strength, resilience, and inner wisdom of women—and to psilocybin's potential to bring relief, meaning, and beauty to life's most vulnerable moments.
