Director of Operations at The Survivorship Collective
Arlene Tjoarman is Director of Operations at The Survivorship Collective, a nonprofit focused on education, safety, harm-reduction, and community for cancer survivors—including connections to safe, state-regulated, science-informed psychedelic-assisted therapy.
As a breast cancer survivor, Arlene participated in a state-regulated psilocybin retreat in May 2025 as part of her healing journey. While traditional mental health therapy provided valuable support, it hadn’t been able to address her persistent fear about the future. The properly guided psilocybin experience allowed her to access deeper understanding about personal traumas and gain insights about herself that traditional talk therapy couldn’t reach. This personal experience now directly informs her work supporting other survivors in exploring psychedelic healing.

Founder, The Frequency Project
Mark Kohl is a filmmaker, musician, and visionary guide who transformed personal crisis into a global mission. Once a celebrated Director and Cinematographer, his life was shattered by depression, anxiety, and severe alcholism—until psychedelic plant medicine opened the door to healing.
From ceremonies deep in the jungles of Hawaii, Mark received the vision that became Frequency: a movement dedicated to restoring balance, raising consciousness, and protecting the sacred intelligence of psychedelic plants. His commitment to genetic preservation, safety, and integrity in this field is unmatched.
Through years of study and hands-on research, Mark has pioneered the integration of sound frequencies with plant medicine, creating transformative experiences that elevate vibration and unlock deep healing. His work continues to inspire, not only as a testament to resilience and recovery, but as a beacon for a new paradigm of consciousness in the Aquarian Age.
Within this new frequency, psychedelics and sacred plant medicines are not randomly resurfacing. Their reemergence is synchronized with the rise of artificial intelligence—two powerful catalysts arriving together at the dawn of this Aquarian consciousness. It’s no coincidence: as AI externalizes and amplifies our collective mind, natural psychedelic mushrooms invite us inward—to reconnect with our inner intelligence, our ancestral wisdom, and the living Earth.
