From tragedy to purpose, united through community

Cody Lakevold turned profound family loss into a mission rooted in connection. He is the author of Longship: From Tragedy to Triumph. A True Story of Brotherhood — a memoir that chronicles how community became the foundation of his healing. Part of that healing included his personal experience with psychedelic-assisted therapy as a path through PTSD. Today, he speaks openly about all of it with organizations across Canada.
