About this episode
Recorded live at Breaking Convention 2025, this episode of Obsicast features Dr. Ahoo Yara (formerly Dr. Sadaf Lotfalian) — clinical psychologist, psychedelic therapist, and advocate for inclusivity in psychedelic medicine.
From her early work at Johns Hopkins psilocybin trials to sitting in Iranian Zār ceremonies, Ahoo weaves personal grief, ancestral wisdom, and the universal longing for love into her work. We explore indigenous healing practices, Persian poetry, decolonizing the psychedelic space, and the transformative power of community.
