About Us
Neal Usatin is a filmmaker with 27 years of experience, and after editing two episodes of How To Change Your Mind (Netflix, 2022) he felt the call to pivot into the field of psychedelics to focus on the art of healing. Neal became an advocate for access to psilocybin-assisted therapy in NJ, persuaded his Republican state senator to co-sponsor a psilocybin access bill, and founded NJ for Fungi and Plant Medicines. While advocating in Trenton, Neal met Jason, and the two became fast friends. With the same intention of providing stellar psychedelic education and care to those who are most in need, Neal and Jason formed Chaloka (“bridging worlds”) to practice Psychedelic Oncology. As someone impacted by cancer six times, Neal knows the healing potential of these medicines and the need for transparency, ethical practices, safety and support. He is a trained trip sitter and a student of plant and fungi medicines, the flute, breathwork, and his three children. Neal has a BA in Philosophy from CU Boulder and an MBA with honors from UNC Chapel Hill.
Jason Konner, MD is a Yale- and Stanford-trained medical oncologist, formerly at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. After decades treating cancer from a purely clinical perspective, Jason experienced a profound shift — one shaped by his own journey as a clinician experiencing burnout and by witnessing how our emotional relationship to cancer impacts not only the patient’s body, identity, ability to heal, and sense of meaning but the wellbeing of everyone in the cancer ecosystem. Drawn to deeper forms of healing, he immersed himself in psychedelic medicine, breath work, and integrative practices that honor the emotional and spiritual dimensions of health. He discovered that what many people facing cancer truly need is not just treatment — but wholeness, connection, peace, and the ability to feel alive again. Jason left Memorial Sloan Kettering to follow that calling and founded Chaloka. Through psychedelic-assisted healing and integration work, he helps people access inner wisdom, release emotional weight, and reconnect to purpose.
