Glen Boyes
Glen was deployed to Afghanistan in 2010/2011 to Helmand province as part of the counter IED task force. He took part in the biggest counter IED op in Afghan history safely clearing and returning a large village back to locals. This tour did not come easy as his team suffered 2 casualties in an IED blast 15 days into our tour. As soldiers, they stop that emotion and carry on with the job and the rest of the tour.
Glen suffered PTSD through lockdown 11/12 years later. Working with a therapist and using brain scans, he microdosed psilocybin to help improve. Glen’s brain scans were phenomenal; he felt free, clear and regained focus again. Glen is now the director of an NFT project called Flesh of the Gods. His aim is to create a global peak performance hub for the community and support the research into psychedelic treatment and help veterans with PTSD and all mental health issues.

Kerry is a nurse of 44 years, mother of four and grandmother to nine, specialising in palliative care. She had suffered depression, addictions and suicidal ideation all her life. “Trauma by omission” Gabor Mate calls it. Every antidepressant, therapy, book, course and seminar failed and just left her feeling hopeless and wanting to die even though she was so blessed.
At age 58 she had an opportunity to try DMT. It reset her brain and gave her joy, self-love and connection for the first time in her life. It’s not called the ‘God molecule’ for nothing. She is committed and passionate to helping others receive the benefits of psychedelic therapy in a safe environment and sees great potential for palliative care and end-of-life treatment as well.

Vanessa Bortolin is a retired accountant, mother to a teenage daughter and widow to her beautiful husband of 30 years, Franco, who she lost two years ago to suicide after his 3-year battle with treatment-resistant clinical depression.
Vanessa had the foresight to begin documenting, via an excel spreadsheet, medication dosage increments and their side effects (total 19 different antidepressant/anti-psychotic drugs), treatments administered (total 96 ECT’s and 24 TMS’s), the 9 hospitalisations (4 involuntarily sectioned under mental health due to suicide risk), and the various professors of psychiatry seen, including the Black Dog institute. Vanessa hoped to access psychedelic therapies for Franco. This was his last hope.
