Three Combat Veterans on Healing PTSD and Depression with OM

On Tuesday, May 19 at 8 PM ET, the Institute of OM Foundation, a 501(c)(3), is hosting a live Zoom panel: Three Combat Veterans on Healing PTSD and Depression with Orgasmic Meditation (OM).

Join host Eli Block, Lead OM Instructor at the Institute of OM, as he sits down with three combat veterans: Andrew Garcia, a US Army Specialist who served as a combat engineer; John "Thorfin" Caldwell, former Canadian Special Forces with thirty-eight years across British and Canadian militaries; and Bob Sabado, a combat veteran whose convoy was hit by a roadside bomb in Iraq. They'll be joined by Dr. Dan Kriegman, the clinical psychologist who led the first peer-reviewed clinical trial of OM as a meditation practice for individuals with PTSD.

The conversation will look directly at what their service was like, what it left them with, and how Orgasmic Meditation has helped them feel again.
