Rime MSK

Rime MSK

Artist

RIME (Born 1979, Brooklyn, New York)

RIME, also known as Jersey Joe, is an American artist rooted in the graffiti tradition. He began his graffiti practice in 1991 on Staten Island, gradually expanding across New York City and, by 1995, into New Jersey. In 2003, he made his first international journey to Europe, traveling for two months and earning recognition under the names Rime and Jersey Joe. Upon returning to the United States, he began exhibiting in galleries and creating ambitious public artworks alongside his painting partner, Setup.

RIME approaches his paintings like a visual diary, capturing his daily pursuit of the essential. Brimming with energy, his universe fuses color, movement, and light, populated by a personal lexicon of cartoon-inspired creatures, symbols, and intricate details.

His style combines bold colors, dynamic forms, and abundant detail. In his vivid compositions, he channels a controlled intensity, balancing what might appear as chaotic energy with meticulous mastery of line and brushwork. He incorporates his unique vocabulary of imaginary animals and characters, arranging them like hieroglyphs or stylized writing across the canvas. His two-dimensional paintings seem to leap from the wall, animated by flowing lines, structured forms, and luminous compositions. Packed with symbols, figures, and hidden narratives, each piece rewards careful observation, revealing historical fragments and layers of meaning over time.

Edward Crowe

Edward Crowe

Mystic & Entrepreneur

Edward Crowe is a music business executive, entrepreneur, internationally published photographer and mystic whose 20+ year career bridges entertainment, spirituality, and cultural innovation.

Crowe’s journey into business and mysticism has been anything but ordinary. Introduced to authors like HP Blavatsky and Edgar Cayce, by his grandmother, he cultivated an early fascination with mystery traditions. As a teenager, he performed close-up magic and stage magic until, at 16, Guillain-Barré syndrome left him paralyzed and on life support. What followed was a painful, years-long recovery/ rebirth through creativity, discipline, and spirituality. He emerged sharper, stranger, and more disciplined - the magician grew into the mystic. A lifelong student of sacred plant medicine and ancient mystery school teachings. Focused specifically on high dose ceremonies, Crowe is a trusted psychedelic guide and business innovator.

Andy Sudbrock

Andy Sudbrock

Medicine Man & Ceremonial Guide

Andy Sudbrock is a medicine man, shamanic practitioner, ceremonial guide, and founder of Sacred Path Retreats, where he helps individuals reconnect with themselves, nature, and a deeper sense of meaning through sacred ceremony, meditation, breathwork, and contemplative practice. Drawing from both modern neuroscience and ancient wisdom traditions, Andy creates safe, intentional spaces for personal transformation, emotional healing, and expanded self-awareness. His work bridges the worlds of science and spirituality, exploring how ancient shamanic practices can help modern people rediscover balance, purpose, and connection in an increasingly disconnected world.

Before stepping into ceremonial leadership, Andy spent more than three decades working as a restoration ecologist, helping heal damaged ecosystems and reconnect landscapes to their natural rhythms. That journey ultimately revealed a deeper truth: the healing of the Earth and the healing of the human spirit are inseparable. Through his talks, retreats, and educational work, Andy invites audiences to remember that reconnecting with our own inner nature reconnects us with the Earth itself, closing the circle, the loop of healing between humanity and the living world.

Charles Patti

Charles Patti

Founder & Visionary

Charles Patti is the Chief Visionary Officer and Co-Founder of Eleusis, the world's first legal, luxury, physician-supervised DMTx immersion experience based on the island of Bequia in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. He is also Co-Founder and CEO of My Self Wellness, one of Florida's most respected ketamine clinics, where he has overseen more than 25,000 treatments since 2019.

Charles's journey into this work began with his own. After battling addiction and depression for over 25 years, he found healing through psychedelic therapies, an experience that reshaped the entire trajectory of his life and became the driving force behind everything he has built since. That conviction now lives at the center of Eleusis, where he is helping pioneer extended-state DMT, or DMTx, as a structured, physician-supervised path for others to explore consciousness intentionally, with the right medical oversight and integration support.

Nutritious

Nutritious

DJ & Producer

Nutritious is a NYC-raised cultural alchemist: artist, DJ, producer, and A&R at Liquid Culture Records. An improvisational musician since before he could talk, his older brother put him behind a drum kit as a toddler, no lessons, just play. He landed his first record deal at 16 and was promoting at the Palladium by 17. He held the first residency at the former Save The Robots space, all-night all-vinyl Saturday sets for the devoted East Village crowd at the height of Giuliani's cabaret law crackdowns, when every venue and DJ was essentially outlaw.

On stage, he treats three to four turntables like live instruments, learned on cassette and vinyl, bending tone, improvising remixes in real time, threading rarities and deep cuts you won't hear anywhere else. Highlights include, by special invitation, The Whitney Museum of American Art (supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation), Pikes Ibiza, Rodarte for New York Fashion Week, Zey Zey Miami (NYE 2026 headliner), and touring Mushroom Jazz shows with Mark Farina internationally.

He creates music the way people dream in technicolor. Divinity. Amber. Alma. The Soft Dark. Freefall. Each release on his Liquid Culture imprint is a waypoint within a universe of exploration. His album Blurs, on Paper Recordings UK, features cover art by John Van Hamersveld, the designer behind Hendrix, the Beatles, Grateful Dead, and the Rolling Stones.

His releases have hit Beatport's Top 5, SiriusXM Chill's peak rotation, #2 Most Added Electronic on the U.S. NACC chart, and Juno's Best of 2025, with 50M+ views across social. He's scored films executive produced by Danny Aiello, with cameos and syncs alongside Method Man and Moby.

He is a contributing author to the New York Times bestseller 'Living Well' and a founding team member of DoubleBlind Magazine. He's helped raise over $150K for the National Down Syndrome Society, with additional work supporting Bailey House, Last Prisoner Project, and Boys & Girls Club Malibu.

He surfs, collects records and synths, and his approach to music is rooted in embodied practice: how he lives informs how he creates. With a name like Nutritious, you'd expect taste.
