In the breathtaking landscapes of Peru’s Sacred Valley, Crossed Paths: Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science, takes viewers on an introspective journey that merges ancient traditions with cutting-edge science. The film explores the transformative power of plant medicines, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and neuroscience to awaken the healer within, unlocking the potential for profound healing and self- discovery. This documentary is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the wisdom that emerges when ancestral knowledge and modern modalities unite. Meet Rob Kugler: A Veteran’s Inspiring Journey Rob Kugler, a Marine Corps veteran, accomplished author, veteran advocate, and Tilman Scholar, will be a featured guest at the event. Rob’s life has been a testament to resilience and the power of healing. After losing his brother in Iraq in 2007, Rob embarked on a journey of self-discovery that inspired countless people worldwide. His cross-country travels with his late dog, Bella, became a viral sensation, capturing hearts and culminating in his top selling book, which continues to resonate with audiences globally. Rob’s participation in Tiwaz Awakening marks another chapter in his impactful story. Reflecting on his experience, he shared, “Tiwaz Awakening provides access to new and ancient healing modalities that everyone should have a right to experience. My time with Tiwaz gave me a new perspective on how to heal the mind, body, and soul—far beyond anything I’ve been offered in standard medicine.” Luke Jensen, Founder & CEO of Tiwaz Awakening, is at the forefront of bridging the mind, body and soul connection. Through films, podcasts, and events, this project raises awareness of the healing power of integrative mental health care. From military service to shamanism: Luke Jensen's journey began with eight years of military service, including a 2011 deployment to Afghanistan. Struggling to find purpose after his service, Luke sought solace in the jungles of Peru, where he encountered Ayahuasca and experienced profound spiritual healing. This transformative experience led him to integrate neuroscience tools such as neurofeedback and QEEG brain mapping with shamanic practices, creating Tiwaz Awakening alongside Cinzia Molla, as a path to healing for himself and others. Be part of the conversation; join veterans, professors, and students in exploring these innovative approaches to healing and consciousness. The evening will include the documentary screening, discussions, and opportunities to connect with Tiwaz Awakening’s mission. For more information, visit tiwazawakening.com.
