Ever wondered what happens when you mix an Italian anthropologist, a mycologist with a Mohawk heritage, the last captive of the Comanches, an attorney specializing in psychedelic law, and a restorative justice wizard from DC? No, it’s not the start of a bar joke; it’s a powerhouse panel!

When he’s not advising the Union of Indigenous Yagé Medics in the Amazon, he’s probably chatting about his PhD from Cambridge.
**Keith Williams** is the mushroom whisperer you never knew you needed. With a PhD in educational studies and an M.Sc. in mycology, this Haudenosaunee (Mohawk) descendant is the Director of Research and Social Innovation at Ontario’s First Nations Technical Institute.

**Roman Haferd** is the justice league’s real-life hero in Washington DC, focusing on restorative justice
