Louis first experienced the transformative potential of psychedelics when he overcame depression with psilocybin mushrooms in his early adulthood. In response to these experiences, Louis began studying and practicing Buddhism and yoga, eventually earning a bachelor’s degree with a triple major in Psychology, Philosophy and Religious Studies from McGill University. Louis seeks to democratize safe and effective healing and growth with psychedelics through education, community and support, while contributing to research at the intersection of neuropsychology, ecology, spiritual emergence and psychedelics. Used through a harmonious combination of scientific data and Indigenous wisdom, Louis believes the effective use of psychedelics lay the foundations for a multi-generational process of ecological and human healing and growth.

Bobby is a scientist and entrepreneur with a background in Neuroscience, Computer Science, and Biology. This quantitative education is integral to his work, which focuses on the science of consciousness and therapeutic applications of psychedelics. His current work explores the science of pleasure in non-human animals, as well as the impact of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy on people who suffer from eating disorders and major depression. Bobby is led by his experiences with psychedelics and movement practice, which have connected him to body and environment in ways previously thought unimaginable; these experiences have shown him fantastic visions of a future where psychedelic compounds inform our cultural, political, and social dynamics, our conception of reality, and our interconnection with the Earth.

Natural MedTech Group is founded upon our “Seven Pillars of Health” which are: Advanced Nutrition, The Gut Microbiome, Personalised Medicine, Exercise, Meditation, Mindfulness and Psychedelic Medicine.
‍
In order to bring our vision to fruition, Natural MedTech operates as two organisations: “Bio-Tanicals Australia” and “Rewired Neuroscience”.Bio-Tanicals Australia is investing in a cGMP laboratory, licenced to manufacture, process and supply Schedule 9 drugs (Schedule 9 is Australia’s Equivalent of America’s Schedule 1).  The local manufacture of psychedelic drugs helps us navigate multiple Australian regulations. It allows us to leverage Australia’s Special Access Scheme effectively. Our platform will accelerate the research and application of psychedelic therapies for Australians, whilst adding to the global body of knowledge. Initially, we will produce cGMP Psilocybin and DMT. Australia has multiple native species that contain DMT, and we will further develop and research our non-invasive delivery system that allows for the DMT experience to last for approximately one hour.

Rewired Neuroscience will be launching a Mental Health and Wellness Centre of Psychedelic Psychiatry, designed to reimagine what a medical facility can be. Our fully compliant facility will be able to conduct clinical research and administer psychedelic therapies in a comfortable and inspiring space. Our trained therapists will also introduce the fundamental principles of “Self-Directed Adaptive Neuroplasticity”, “Psychobiological Correction”, “Ego Dissolution” and “Epigenetic Engineering”, which blends intimately with our Self-Care, Mindfulness, Meditation, and Movement classes, hosted in our workshop spaces.We blend traditional knowledge and wisdom with modern medicine and aim to change the way people approach their own mental health and wellness, where patients become motivated and excited to come and heal with us.

Luke Johnson is an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago majoring in Neuroscience and interested in pursuing an MD/PhD after college. To avoid online classes and a subpar educational experience, Luke is currently taking a year off from college after completing his second year in the spring of 2020. Luke began working on Psynautics with his friend, mentor, and research colleague, Conor Murray, in August of 2020. Luke met Conor while they were both working in the Human Behavioral Pharmacology lab during the summer of 2019. At that time, Luke was working full-time as an intern in the lab assisting PhD candidate Elisa Pabon with her research on THC (which he had begun helping with part-time as a volunteer in November of 2018) while Conor was just beginning his 2-year postdoctoral fellowship. Luke and Conor bonded over their shared interest in the value of altered state experiences beyond the traditional clinical, therapeutic, and drug-abuse research paradigms. Aside from working on Psynautics, Luke works part-time as a nurse technician at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and is involved in the Intercollegiate Psychedelic Network as a member of the Research and Professional Development team and the lead organizer of the IPN Journal Club.

Conor H. Murray, PhD is a neuroscientist and psychedelic researcher from the University of Chicago. Trained on the neurobiology of substance abuse, his current projects in the laboratory investigate the roles of LSD and MDMA in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and autism spectrum disorders. Dr. Murray's major focus however transcends medicine to test the 'psychedelic hypothesis' that substances hold promise as tools for 'manifesting' or 'expanding' the mind toward exploration of the uncharted nature of mind and being. To this end, he has taken two approaches: first, to advance the field of neurophenomenology in the laboratory with psychedelic or observational compounds, and second, to open this research to the world by establishing Psynautics, an international research society for explorers of mind and being.
