On 3rd Thursdays we will be screening documentaries related to sustainability at the Center for Spiritual Living Ballard. In November, we will be showing&nbsp;In Waves and War, an emotional, inspiring odyssey of three American heroes as they overcome the aftereffects of war and rediscover their humanity. Highly decorated Navy SEAL Marcus Capone returns from Afghanistan and attempts to readjust to civilian life. But years of unprecedented warfare have left Marcus with treatment-defiant PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and severe depression beyond what current government treatment options can effectively address. Fearing for Marcus&rsquo; life, his wife, Amber, finds hope in a groundbreaking therapy combining two powerful psychedelics unapproved for use in the U.S., but with seemingly limitless applications. A discussion follows the film.&nbsp;<img src="http://www.sustainableballard.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/meaningful-movies-300x162.jpg" alt="meaningful movies" width="300" height="162" fr-original-style="" style="cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">&nbsp; &nbsp;Sustainable Ballard and Center for Spiritual Living Ballard partner with the <a fr-original-style="" href="https://meaningfulmovies.org/" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Meaningful Movies Project</a> to present documentaries in our neighborhood.
