A self-professed psychic tried to "hold the calm and the beauty" as a man collapsed before dying after taking poison and hallucinogens at a spiritual health retreat.
Jarrad Antonovich died of a perforated oesophagus after consuming the plant-based psychedelic ayahuasca and frog-based poison kambo at the Dreaming Arts Festival at Arcoora retreat in northern NSW on October 16, 2021.
As an inquest into his death resumed on Thursday, his father Glen accepted an emotional apology and condolences from one of the retreat's participants Aldo Dezani.
