FACILITATOR BIO
Facilitator: Jessica Garver, Speaker • Coach • Nervous System Strategist • Vegetable Whisperer
Jessica helps creative entrepreneurs and visionary leaders move out of survival mode and into stability—so they can build success that actually sustains them. Her work blends emotional intelligence, nervous system healing, and body-based practices to help people restore capacity, rebuild self-trust, and rewire the deeper patterns that keep them stuck.
When she’s not deep in a coaching session or untangling a metaphor with suspicious ease, Jessica can be found pollinating ideas across Substack, co-regulating with her houseplants, or circling the kitchen like a very focused bee. She believes rest is sacred, listening changes everything, and that your nervous system deserves a seat at the strategy table. |

RECAP: “Death, Psychedelics & Rebirth Interview & Workshop with Dream Mullick”
|
|
| The night began with an intimate interview led by Hannah Jo, where Dream explored the relationship between death and psychedelics. With compassion and clarity, she spoke about death as a teacher — one that invites us to live with more courage, love, and presence — and about psychedelics as allies in dissolving fear and opening us to the mystery.
From conversation, we moved into experience. Dream then guided us through a 60-minute meditative journey of death and rebirth, supported by a gifted sound healer who filled the space with intuitive layers of sound. From gongs and chimes to the sounds of flowing water, wind, and the natural world, the music wove perfectly with Dream’s guidance.
Participants lay down on mats or rested on couches, eyes closed, as the room became a sanctuary for release and renewal. Together, we traveled through cycles of letting go, dissolution, and return — a practice that felt especially powerful in the container of community. |

| Not Your Average Myco Bros: 15 Entrepreneurs Building The Future Of Mushrooms Around The WorldI want to be clear that this is not a “Top 15 List,” and given the context of prohibition in the majority of the world, there are many essential contributors to this field who by default are largely unable to accept public praise and appropriate recognition for their seminal contributions. I will continue to thank them privately for their work by loading up on the various mushroom chocolates, exotic spores, and fungal accoutrements that they offer – I’m like a patron of the arts, but for tripping.
This spotlight on a precious few of the Mycopreneurs shaping the global mushroom movement is a representative token of appreciation for those advancing the mushroom community and industry forward, one batch of liquid culture (for microscopy research only!) and wook science breakthrough at a time.
Jacob Tell (USA)
Jacob Tell is the founder of District216, a membership-driven psychedelic social club. The District216 family has produced numerous sold-out events in multiple cities and made a huge statement by drawing 1500 people to the recent Psychedelic Playhouse event in June of this year. In a space that is largely still in legal limbo thanks to a disjointed patchwork of policy and regulations across various cities and states in the U.S., social clubs like District216 offer a way for people to connect with other mushroom entrepreneurs and psychedelic activists in a safe and highly curated setting that includes live music, expert presenters, and an impeccable atmosphere. I even once thought I saw Tom Waits at a District216 event in a decrim city, but then I remembered the Neutropics mushroom chocolate I ate and realized it was just me looking in the mirror. |
