Rak Razam is best described as a mythic story teller. An author, a film maker, a journalist, a public speaker and psychonaut. Rak’s interests of exploration lie in psychedelics and shamanic use of plant medicines, and the great mystery of consciousness and our spiritual purpose. His film "Aya: Awakenings" documents Rak's journey into the world of Shamanism and Ayahuasca in the Amazon Jungle.

Ky Dickens is the host and creator of the hugely successful podcast "The Telepathy Tapes".

"The Telepathy Tapes" is an investigation into the profound and unique abilities demonstrated by many non-verbal autistic children. The podcast follows the research of Dr Diane Hennacy Powell which indicates that many of these individuals demostrate telepathic abilities with family members, friends and each other, as well as a wide range of other extraordinary spiritual gifts. Many of these gifts and abilities fly in the face of conventional scientific understanding of consciousness, the mind and reality itself.

"The Telepathy Tapes" is available on all podcast platforms.

Justine McAllister is a Melbourne based visual artist and muralist. She has just concluded her second solo exhibition titled “Romantic Rebellion” which was on show at 45 downstairs. The works are a vibrant exploration of colour, chaos and liberation, with nude figures calmly lying amongst flames, animals in motion and an engulfing noise.

Justine is an incredibly active muralist with no wall too large for her colourful animals and figures. Beautiful work all round.
