About us

The Four Pillars of Reconnection

Through education and service, we are bridging the gap between allopathic medicine and the incredible healing potential of psychedelic medicines and supportive wellness tools.

We believe the key to living fully again is to help our clients restore meaning and purpose through practices rooted in science, centuries of tradition, and our Four Pillars of Reconnection™: Self, Community, Nature, and Spirit.

People and culture

Combining decades in clinical oncology and the arts, rigorous scientific research and storytelling, and personal experience with cancer, our team leads with compassion and experience.

Jason Konner, MD

co-Founder / CMO

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.
