Four people guide us along their paths to self-healing, opening a portal to cultural practices that shift consciousness and offer hope for the intractable pain of our times.

A propulsive, somatic opening signals an immersive experience ahead: Isabel García turns to a Mazatec healer in Mexico’s Sierra Mazateca, working with sacred mushrooms to release her emotional anguish. Under hypnosis, Bhargav Lenka learns to access deep layers of his unconscious mind as a resource against chronic pain from a life-altering car accident in India. LePoleon Williams crafts African instruments in his Florida carport and plays trance-inducing rhythms that ease his post-traumatic anxiety. In a spa in New Hampshire, Christina Nice floats in a tub of highly salted water, entering a dreamlike state that soothes shooting leg pains from Lyme disease.

Drawing on her identity as a biracial, multilingual filmmaker, Julie Mallozzi weaves a rich tapestry of these culturally distinct altered-state practices. A final thread offers a meditative throughline connecting the protagonists’ experience: from a temple in Massachusetts, Buddhist nuns chant rhythmically in Cantonese and offer insights gained through deep meditation. Their presence echoes across each journey, illuminating how ancient wisdom can connect us to a shared consciousness in the pursuit of healing from within.
