Tyson Fok creates spaces where people can slow down, pay attention, and remember what it feels like to be undistracted. With a background in interior design, podcasting, and community-building, Tyson’s work focuses on how environments shape our inner lives—often more powerfully than intention or effort. Across creative projects, gatherings, and long-form podcast interviews, he has been drawn to simple structures that invite clarity without instruction. Djerassi Unplugged grew out of his own need for relief from constant stimulation, and a belief that many people don’t need more tools or teachings—just fewer inputs.

Michelle Lee designs experiences that help people slow down, gain clarity, and reconnect with what matters. For over 15 years, Michelle has helped leaders, organizations, and communities excavate their essence, shift consciousness, and translate insight into action. Her work spans strategy, living systems thinking, and physical space design across industries with clients such as Google, Adobe, Rivian, and the U.S. government. Michelle creates conditions for self-reflection and transformation—regenerating soul and soil.

Maria Sperduto holds contemplative containers that help people reconnect with innate powers to rest and gather insight through connecting more intimately with life. For 10 years in corporate and Ivy league contexts, she has helped others find natural doorways into meditation and build habits they love. She draws on 18 years of meditation with teachers in Insight, Zen, and Tibetan Buddhist traditions alongside non-dual and Tantric yogic traditions. Known for her life-affirming approach that celebrates individuality, Maria creates conditions for relief, inner freedom, and enjoyment in meditation.

Chef Yusuke Konno approaches food as a quiet form of care. Trained in Japanese culinary traditions and influenced by seasonal, ingredient-driven cooking, his work emphasizes restraint, balance, and attention. Rather than seeking novelty or spectacle, he focuses on how food supports the body and the moment it’s eaten—especially in environments designed for slowness and presence. For Djerassi Unplugged, Chef Yusuke prepares simple, nourishing meals to be eaten in silence. His cooking reflects the same ethos as the day itself: fewer inputs, more awareness, and respect for what’s already there.
