<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal" align="center"><b>Opening Remarks and Keynote Speaker</b></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">*<b>10:30 -11:30 AM</b>  Moderated by <strong>Paul Sladkus</strong>, with <strong>MyungHi S. Lee</strong>, this session explores “<strong>Health Equity and Human Rights in Ibogaine access for Americans”</strong>, focusing on the evolving <strong>public–private sector partnership</strong> model supporting Ibogaine treatment for <strong>veterans</strong> and <strong>Indigenous and Tribal communities</strong>. A central theme is <strong>Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS)</strong> for Intellectual Property—an essential component in the future of Ibogaine and psychedelic-based therapeutics. The presentation highlights emerging <strong>global biodiversity initiatives</strong>, including the development of <strong>natural products extractive libraries</strong> that contribute to UN Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD)–aligned efforts in <strong>genomics</strong>, <strong>chemical data repositories</strong>, and <strong>carbon-sequestration-linked technologies</strong>. These initiatives support Indigenous-led entheogenic agricultural solutions and sustainable development protocols in the United States and across emerging market.</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">A key focus is <strong>KRFI’s Ibogaine IP shareholding model</strong>, designed to create <strong>royalty-based botanical drug pathways</strong> for tropical nations participating in Ibogaine and psychedelic research. This <strong>ABS-IP framework</strong> advances a sustainable public–private coordinating mechanism for long-term benefit sharing, capacity building, and in-country development. <strong>Use Case: Central America. </strong>The session will highlight the example of <strong>Costa Rica</strong>, featuring collaboration between national partners and the <strong>KRIBB Extractive Library</strong>. This includes the development of <strong>ABS-IP platforms for genomics and chemical data silos</strong>, private-sector registration pathways, and participation in the <strong>Forever Forest Program</strong>, which aims to support tropical nations in sustainable biodiversity management and equitable access to the economic benefits of natural products.</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">*<b>11:30 -12:30 AM  <strong> “Technology &amp; Innovation: AI, Social Responsibility &amp; the American Ibogaine Initiative”</strong></b> This session will connect <b>Andrew Romero</b> InferenceFrame’s AI infrastructure with the policy and clinical mission of the American Ibogaine Initiative, with MyungHi S. Lee and KRFI Questors. Key discussion areas include:</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* AI-enhanced investment frameworks for Ibogaine deployment</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Public–private partnership models supporting mental health reform</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Responsible funding strategies for bipartisan state-level Ibogaine bill</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Ethical scaling, oversight, and corporate social responsibility</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Building national infrastructure for Ibogaine-based mental health interventions</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">Together, the speakers outline how AI, biotechnology, and responsible investment can accelerate safe, equitable, and evidence-based Ibogaine access for veterans, Indigenous communities, and Americans facing mental health and addiction crises. <strong>Andrew Romero</strong> leads the development of high-reliability AI at <strong>InferenceFrame</strong>, where he designs and deploys advanced <strong>structured reasoning systems</strong> that strengthen decision-making in high-stakes environments. His work centers on <strong>Neuro-Symbolic (NeSy)</strong> approaches that integrate mathematical and logical reasoning, enabling AI systems to perform with greater precision and significantly reduced data requirements. <b>InferenceFrame’s </b>technology has been used to generate actionable insights for <strong>companies, investment funds, and research organizations</strong>, supported by strategic institutional funding. The company has also established <strong>cost-sensitive licensing agreements</strong>, allowing scalable access to its reasoning systems. These AI platforms demonstrate strong performance across diverse domains, including:</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><strong>* Financial markets &amp; capital allocation</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><strong>* Robotics &amp; autonomous system</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><strong>* Mathematical and scientific discovery</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><strong>* Risk assessment and high-stakes decision support</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">Andrew has also developed a suite of <strong>AI-driven investment banking tools</strong>, supporting capital structuring, due diligence, and near-automated deal execution. These technologies help reduce operational bottlenecks and increase accuracy in financial decision-making. InferenceFrame’s systems are adopted through partnerships with major <strong>FINRA-member firms</strong>, including <strong>GT Securities</strong>, where Andrew serves as Director.</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><b>* 12:30 &#8211; 2:30 PM</b>  <strong>Moderated Paul Sladkus</strong>, and<strong> MyungHi S. Lee</strong>, with this session features collaborative framework for an <strong>Ibogaine Clinical R&amp;D Alliance</strong> focused on <strong>FDA/MHRA/EMEA/ANVISA–registered clinical trial reporting</strong> and mechanism-of-action research.  The discussion highlights the <strong>KRFI Questors open-source clinical data platform</strong>, designed to address a persistent challenge in psychiatric research: fewer than <strong>10% of clinical studies adequately assess double blinding integrity</strong>, as a foundational element of clinical trial design. With transparent, shared, and high-quality data, the field faces limitations in cost efficiency, reproducibility, and the ability to resolve the consequences of unblinding on data interpretation—issues that are especially critical for advancing <strong>Ibogaine and psychedelic-based mental health therapeutics</strong>.  The patient with placebo will experience withdrawal and possible unpredictable adverse reactions for the participants.</p>
<p><strong>Questors aims to establish the Ibogaine &amp; Psychedelic Clinical Evidence Assessment Working Group (I&amp;P</strong><strong> CEA-WG). </strong>As clinical programs grow in complexity—particularly those integrating <strong>psychotherapy with pharmacological interventions</strong>—KRFI is convening an <strong> Ibogaine and Psychedelic Clinical Evidence Assessment Working Group (I &amp; P CEA-WG)</strong>. This online data review platform generates reporting by the research institutes with a parallel track on policy and legal advisory group conducted at the P<strong> Harvard Law School’s Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics</strong>,.  <strong>Independent Ibogaine and Psychedelic Clinical Evidence Assessment Working Group (I &amp; PCEA-WG)</strong>.works with parallel track with online CTMS with institutional partnership and safety and pharmacovigilance and technical platform to aid the institutions, practitioners, and research community.</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><b>Current <strong>State of the National Ibogaine Consortium endeavors by Bryan Hubbard and Rick Perry Co-founders of the Americans for Ibogaine</strong></b> and its role in a <strong>Public–Private Sector Partnership in Ibogaine Clinical Research</strong>.  The <strong>New York State Ibogaine Research Bill Action Plan for January 2026</strong>, This announcement aims to address the including:</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Upcoming <b>NYS <strong>Senate hearings</strong></b> featuring <strong>Ibogaine testimonials</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Coordinated <strong>state-level action plans</strong> in <b>NYS,</b> <strong>Texas, Arizona, Ohio, and Colorado</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Responses from state authorities across the United States</p>
<p><strong>Policy and Mental Health Strategy</strong>: The discussion will focus on <strong>mental health policy initiatives in New York State</strong>, exploring the allocation of <strong>$12 billion USD</strong> toward mental health and addiction programs. Special emphasis will be placed on the <strong>NYS Ibogaine Research Bill</strong>, led by <strong>Bipartisan Senate sponsors Natalie Rodriguez (D) and Jacob Ashby (R) during the January 2026 Hearing.</strong></p>

<p>Synopsis</p>
<p>SUMMER IN THE FOREST</p>
<p>Like countless others Philippe, Michel, Andre and Patrick were labeled &#8216;idiots&#8217;, locked away and forgotten in violent asylums, until the 1960s, when the young philosopher Jean Vanier took a stand and secured their release &#8211; the first time in history that anyone had beaten the system. Together they created L&#8217;Arche, a commune at the edge of a beautiful forest near Paris and a quiet revolution was born.</p>
<p>Now in his 80s and still at L&#8217;Arche, Jean has discovered something that most of us have forgotten &#8211; what it is to be human, to be foolish, and to be happy.</p>
<p>SUMMER IN THE FOREST invites us to abandon the rat race and forge new friendships. Amid the ancient trees, Philippe, Patrick, Jean and the others welcome us into their lives. If there are rules to break, they will be broken and if there is a truth to be told, they will tell it. Michel wants to share with us his war torn past, Andre is desperate for a date, and young David will prove himself a hero in the fight against the forces of evil.</p>

<p>Director’s Statement – Randall Wright</p>
<p>As a child every few weeks my father would drive the family over to my grandparents for Sunday lunch.  Perhaps once a year, May, his aunt, would drop by later in the afternoon.  She made a dramatic entrance.  She had a disfigured face, strange clothes and was referred to as ‘simple’.  When she entered the room everyone went quiet and my sisters and I were frightened of her.  No sooner had she made her entrance she was being ushered out again.  All I can remember of her was a gentle muttering and a ‘hello’. Nearly every family has a May somewhere in their history. She is the hidden inspiration for this film, but the truth is I remember very little about her, beyond the hello. People with intellectual disabilities are the most rejected people on the planet. There is something deep inside us, inside me, that wants to forget she exists. Reading Jean Vanier’s books helped me start to understand why.</p>
<p>I first met Jean Vanier at St Pancras International, on his way home to a village, Trosly-Breuil, north of Paris. Towering above me like Jacques Tati, he has one of the kindest faces you will ever see.  He sat down in a cafe and listened patiently to my idea for a documentary that tried to get to know the intellectually disabled as people. He then invited me to visit his community, on the fringes of an immense ancient forest.</p>
<p>Jean Vanier is one of the great humanitarians of our time.  He saw the value of people with intellectual disabilities and rescued them from lunatic asylums in 1964 and, by proving they could live in an ordinary house, changed the care system for a whole category of human beings throughout the Western world and beyond.  The organization he founded, L’Arche, in France, now has 151 communities in 37 countries, including the US, and is constantly growing. He has authored classic books on the subject, won international awards, such as the Templeton prize, but he is not a household name, unlike his friend Mother Teresa.</p>
<p>Jean Vanier’s whole being is focused on the exact opposite of worldly ego.  He has given his life to people we judge to be failures.  He also suggests that these marginalized people, far from being insignificant and irrelevant have something to teach us by example: that we need each other; that we must wake up from our fantasy of perpetual individual success.  As he says in the film: the powerful lead us to ideology, the weak are in the dirt and lead us to reality.  This philosophy he learnt from the pioneers he built his first community with, who are also the subject of the film: Philippe Seux, Patrick Droualt, Michel Petit and Andre Stubenrauch. </p>
<p>Throughout the making of Summer in the Forest I kept in mind one of Vanier’s key questions: how do you make friends with someone different to you?  It is a question Vanier has asked perhaps all his life.  He takes it further: how do you reach out to people on the margins, to different social or ethnic groups, and how do you make peace with your enemy?  It is a practical question that came out of his experience of the atrocities of the Second World War, especially the attack by the Nazis on the weakest members of society.  It is also the question the stars of the film, including others, David Surmaire, Sara Daqdaq and Andre Stubenrauch asked of us: ‘Will you be my friend?’</p>
<p>To make the film we had to learn to let our barriers down and to give up some of our controlling filmmaking habits.  Before we even started Theo Chester the assistant director and I spent weeks getting to know people before the cameras arrived. </p>
<p>Eventually we chose the Val Fleuri, a large light-filled house where many of the founding members still live, and where, fifty yards from his modest cottage, Jean, now 88, has most of his meals.  Gradually the stars started to choose themselves: Patrick Druault, with his constant request for cigarettes, Andre with his constant complaints, Michel Petit with deep philosophical observations of his own, and David a small young man keen to show us his manliness.</p>
<p>Throughout the summer our stars took us deep into the forest to ponder, joke and often unexpectedly reveal the stories of their lives by whichever anarchic method seemed most appropriate: psychodrama, memories of wartime experience, confiding in stories of love, or performing comic routines.  The elemental forces of the forest, and summer gave these moments the epic backdrop they deserved because behind them lay the immense courage that enabled them to rebuild their lives.  The whole film is shot more like a fully orchestrated fiction film to give them the production values they deserve but are rarely given.</p>
<p>As an aside – in these romantic locations two characters made their first steps to fuller independence: Celine falls in love with Fred Dethouy, and they plan to get married.  Their story chimed with another personal memory of mine.  During my childhood in Leicester, enlightened local education authorities placed physically handicapped students in regular primary school classes.  One of those students, with cerebral palsy, became a life long friend.  It was only recently she pointed out that I, along with the rest of her friends, had failed to realize that all she wanted from life, like everyone else, was to fall in love.  Many of the older people in the film, like my friend, mention marriage as an unattainable dream, but for the next generation growing up in a community of mutual respect finding a partner is a realistic possibility.</p>
<p>Summer in the Forest is about Michel’s courage, Jean’s hope, Maha’s grace, Andre’s longing, Helmi’s loyalty, Celine and Fred’s love; all people who have made a very beautiful world alongside our very broken one.  It tries to answer the question ‘how can you make friends with someone different to you’ but also why you should try. When you are with people with intellectual disabilities they teach us by example to drop the guard, and stop pretending.  It’s a chance to rediscover ourselves.</p>
<p>Cast Biographies</p>
<p>David</p>
<p>Hobbies: Music &#038; Dancing</p>
<p>Favourite Film: Texas Walker</p>
<p>Favourite Animal: Dogs</p>
<p>Using his strength to save the world is David’s top priority. A self-styled super-hero from Royan, David thinks big. He’s not at all interested in being small. When not saving the world, David can be found dancing in his room, working at the packing plant, hanging out with his girlfriend Pauline, or watching movies – old Westerns are a particular favourite. Like the cowboys of old, if anyone annoys or threatens his girl, he’s always there to be her hero.</p>
<p>Celine &#038; Fred</p>
<p>Occupations: Groundskeeper (Fred) and mosaic artist (Celine)</p>
<p>Hobbies: Holidays in the sun</p>
<p>Future projects: Planning a wedding</p>
<p>When Celine first arrived at Le Val Fleuri, she was shy and withdrawn, the opposite of boisterous, playful Fred, who immediately caught her eye. The two first spoke on a trip to Lourdes, when she accidentally hit him with a coke bottle, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. In the years they’ve been an item, Celine has emerged from her shell, and the happy couple are about to be engaged. It’s their dream to live together, alone, but close enough to the community to call in for breakfast.</p>
<p>Michel</p>
<p>Interests: World War II &#038; Birdwatching</p>
<p>Favourite Exercise: Long walks</p>
<p>Would Like To Be: A Historian</p>
<p>Michel’s earliest memories are of hiding in the basement in his hometown of Amiens while bombs fell during the Second World War. From Amiens, he was moved to an asylum, where he endured years of abusive treatment from wardens – but they couldn’t break him. Michel rebelled, shaving his head and walking 30km to escape. Now living happily in Trosly, calmer and more reflective these days, Michel is still haunted by dark memories from the past.</p>
<p>Hobbies: Wrestling</p>
<p>Favourite Music: Jean Ferrat</p>
<p>Favourite Films: Romantic Comedies</p>
<p>Andre grew up in a tough, macho household, with a strict father who insisted that Andre should live his life to the full. Over the years, he’s tried his hand at crafts like pottery, weaving and painting – as well as the occasional wrestling match – but amongst his friends at Trosly, Andre feels like he’s finally found his place and has started looking to the future. Most of all he wants to travel, perhaps alongside his best friend Widad, whose company he cherishes during their regular evening meals.</p>
<p>Sara</p>
<p>Hobbies: Crafts &#038; Shopping</p>
<p>Favourite Food: Chips</p>
<p>Would Like To Be: Happy &#038; Content</p>
<p>Above all, Sara wants to see people smile and be happy. It’s her passion, both in her community at Ma’an Lil-Hayat, and with her family and friends outside. She loves music, dancing and having a good time, as well as shopping for clothes out in the winding streets of Bethlehem. A natural listener, Sara is a confidante and a rock for all of her friends, an honoured position that she takes very seriously.</p>
<p>Patrick</p>
<p>Interests: Shopping</p>
<p>Favourite Drink: Non-alcoholic Beer</p>
<p>Would Like To Be: An Artist</p>
<p>Patrick is passionate about food, drink and especially shopping, but his inner thoughts are often enigmatic. Many see him as something of a loner, off on his long solo walks around the village and childhood haunts in Paris, but those who know him will have seen another side to Patrick – one that’s affectionate, caring and often very funny. One day, he may even do what everyone’s been telling him for years, and give up the cigarettes.</p>
<p>Hilmi</p>
<p>Occupation: Textiles craftsman</p>
<p>Interests: Style, exercise</p>
<p>Happiest when: Hanging out with friends</p>
<p>Before coming to Ma’an Lil-Hayat, Hilmi was ridiculed and regularly beaten by his peer group and even hostile strangers who didn’t understand him or what he’s about. At the centre, he’s free of all that, and able to indulge his passions for fashion, crafts and music. Hilmi is often the life and soul of the Bethlehem community, soaking up the attention at parties, though he has a shy side too, and can just as often be found hidden away in the corner, chatting with close friends.</p>
<p>Jean</p>
<p>Hobbies: Writing</p>
<p>Favourite Food: Christmas Pudding</p>
<p>Pet Peeves: Intolerance, Violence</p>
<p>Now 87, Jean has spent more than half his life working and living with the community that he founded in Trosly, an experience that has transformed his life. Once he was a naval officer, but now he dedicates all of his time to the community, be that travelling the world – a task he doesn’t relish – or wasting time with his friends back at Le Val Fleuri.</p>
