Joel Brierre is the Founder and CEO of the psychedelic wellness companies Kaivalya Kollectiv, Tandava Retreats, and co-founder of the F.I.V.E. education platform. Joel has been a pioneer in the modern psychedelic movement, specifically in the realm of 5-MeO-DMT and the Bufo Alvarius toad. His unique approach of applying classical non- dual yogic philosophy as geography for both preparation and integration from the entheogenic experience gained attention around the world at the first WBAC (World Bufo Alvarius Congress) and continues to shift the landscape of psychedelic use.
