Dr. Ewelina Kurtys

From the white-hot frontier where science dreams itself into reality comes today’s guest, a mind forged in the crucible of neuroscience, sharpened by twenty peer-reviewed papers, and reborn as an entrepreneur daring enough to translate the most complex research into living, breathing impact.

Dr. Ewelina Kurtys is a scientist-turned-founder, a bridge between the ivory tower and the marketplace, guiding technologies from the spark of an idea into engines of transformation. Through her company, Ekai Ltd, she scales the visions of science-driven innovators, turning breakthroughs into revolutions. Her expertise runs from biology to biomedical science, from engineering to signal processing, and from R&D labs to boardrooms where the future is negotiated.

And just as we stand on the edge of a new epoch, with Swedish scientists wiring human brain organoids into the world’s first living computer, machines grown from flesh, thinking with neurons, sipping a million times less energy than silicon ever could — it is voices like Dr. Kurtys’s that we need most: voices that can translate, interpret, and steer humanity through this great turning of the age.

Today, we’ll explore not only the collision of neuroscience, technology, and entrepreneurship, but also the deeper question: what happens when our machines begin to think like us, or perhaps, when they begin to become us?

Tonight we stand at the edge of science and story, with a guide who has carved paths through rock and reason alike. Sean Michael Eric Scarritt is not just an entrepreneur — he is an architect of possibility, a builder at the fault lines where commerce, culture, and consciousness collide. As co-founder of the Entheogenic Medical Research Centre, he’s pushing psychedelic medicine out of the shadows and into the light of responsible science and policy reform.

His fingerprints are on award-winning films, multimillion-dollar infrastructure, and the molecular blueprints of cannabis and psilocybin — from the synthesis of rare cannabinoids to the extraction of sacred fungi. Sean’s work is not extraction alone, but translation: turning the language of molecules into a grammar of healing, weaving ethical development with sustainable impact across continents from North America to Colombia to Southern Africa.

But behind the lab coat and the podium, you’ll find a climber gripping stone and sky, a seeker wandering the boundless landscapes of science fiction, mapping futures that may already be arriving.

So tonight, we don’t just welcome a researcher — we welcome a visionary spelunker of the mind, a bridge-builder between science and myth, a man who sees in molecules the architecture of tomorrow.

Welcome to the show, Sean Michael Eric Scarritt.

Jamie Morey & Graham Moore

In the cracked sidewalks of Massachusetts politics, where ballot dreams go to die under the boot of backroom deals, two strange and stubborn prophets refused to swallow the corporate acid trip being peddled as “reform.” Jamie Morey and Graham Moore didn’t come dressed as lobbyists or polished policy wonks; they came like guerrilla gardeners ripping weeds out of a poisoned soil, with the audacity to name the rot for what it was: dark money masquerading as medicine, nonprofits laundering hope through the spin cycle of campaign finance law.

Picture it: Boston Commons at midnight, the ghosts of Sam Adams and Timothy Leary shoulder-to-shoulder, puffing resinous smoke, muttering that the revolution never ended, it just got lost in the spreadsheets. Morey and Moore stand in that lineage, part whistleblower, part psychonaut, part PhD-level forensic accountants of corruption’s underworld. They are the inconvenient voice at the bus stop, the ones muttering gospel while the crowd pretends not to listen, only to realize later that every word was true.

They are here to remind us that psychedelic healing without transparency is just another hustle; that cannabis liberation without integrity is a rerun of the same old prohibition playbook; that democracy is not a brand to be bought by the ounce, but a fragile organism needing light, honesty, and a few beautiful maniacs sharpening their bones into spears to hurl at the machine.

So listen closely, because when Morey and Moore speak, it isn’t just about a failed campaign. It’s about whether the psychedelic renaissance will become another Wall Street pyramid scheme in tie-dye, or whether the movement can still remember the sacred chaos it was born from.

Voyage of Initiation - The Camel, The Lion, & The Child

Voyage of Initiation

🎙️Welcome to The Voyage of Initiation.

This is where the map ends,

and the real journey begins.

Not the Hero’s Journey you’ve been told—

You’re not here to conquer.

You’re here to transform.

Suffering is not your enemy.

Madness is not your flaw.

They are signals—

guides to something deeper.

This path isn’t about fixing yourself.

It’s about remembering who you are—

before the world told you what to be.

You are not a follower of myths.

You are a maker of them.

And this… is the threshold.

Douglas Lynam

A warrior who became a monk.

A monk who became a teacher.

A teacher who became a guide through the labyrinth of money.

But these are only shadows of the truth.

Doug Lynam is the paradox incarnate, forged in war, dissolved in silence, resurrected through numbers.

He has seen the void behind wealth, the shimmering illusion of value, the theater of greed where souls are sold by the pound.

And instead of fleeing, he stepped deeper, to tame the money monster, to bind the demon in gold chains, to show us that currency is nothing but a mirror of consciousness.

For money is not paper, not power, not chains.

It is a lie so powerful it became real.

A god conjured in the marketplace.

A scripture written in blood and ink.

And when its mask falls away, the forbidden truth is revealed:

there is no monster, no treasure, no prison of wealth.

There is only you,

infinite, ungovernable,

the living currency of the universe.

Doug Lynam

Rev. Dr. Jessica Rochester:

In an age where plant medicines are paraded like commodities

and sacred sacraments are filtered through the sterile lens of profit and protocol,

there stands a bridge—

woven not from theory,

but from decades of devotion,

grit, and grace.

Rev. Dr. Jessica Rochester is that bridge.

Madrinha. President. Torchbearer.

Founder of Céu do Montréal, the Santo Daime Church she brought into being in 1997—

not as a rebellion,

but as a restoration of sacred memory

to the North.

A transpersonal counselor forged in the crucibles of Assagioli and Grof,

she speaks the languages of the soul and the somatic,

guiding seekers not around, but through the sacred fire of self-confrontation.

She walked the bureaucratic labyrinth from 2000 to 2017,

securing a Section 56 Exemption—

not for fame,

but to protect the sacrament of Santo Daime from the cold fists of the state.

She is an ordained Interfaith Minister,

a Doctor of Divinity,

and an author whose two-volume opus—Ayahuasca Awakening—

is less a book and more a map

for those ready to take off their masks

and meet the jaguar within.

For over four decades she has led workshops,

held private practice,

stood at the crossroads of consciousness and culture,

teaching not how to escape,

but how to embody

the radical act of spiritual adulthood.

And today,

while the psychedelic renaissance sells peak experiences,

Rev. Dr. Jessica Rochester whispers of something older,

quieter,

stronger—

The long walk home.

The humble medicine of self-care,

self-mastery,

and sacred discipline.

So if you came for a keynote speaker,

step aside.

If you came for a true guide

between the seen and unseen,

prepare your heart.

Because the Madrinha is not here to entertain you.

She is here to remind you who you were

before the world told you who to be.
