✦ An invitation ✦
Most people have mistaken
surviving well for thriving.
We'd like to help your audience understand what vitality really is.
✦ Why this conversation matters ✦
Vitality has been narrowed to biohacks, metrics, and molecules. What's been lost is the foundational understanding that vitality is a state you return to, sustained by relationship: with food, soil, sleep, community, ceremony, and the rhythms of the natural world.
For thousands of years, ancestral and Indigenous traditions have understood the human body as part of a living ecosystem. Modern wellness has built an industry around the symptoms of its absence while ignoring its source.
ALVARA exists to restore the biological foundation where lifeforce flows abundantly. We'd like to bring that conversation to your audience, with scientific rigor, specificity, and stories from two very different lives that converged around one philosophy.
✦ The message ✦
What we'd bring to your audience
Foundational Vitality
The difference between surviving well and truly thriving. Most of modern wellness trains people to manage symptoms from a depleted baseline. We talk about what it takes to live from abundance, and what it feels like once you're there.
Symbiotic Stacking
Nature's intelligence emerges in cooperation, not isolation. Symbiotic stacking is the principle behind MycoNectar's formulation, and it's also a way to think about ecosystems, teams, and lives well lived.
Stewardship
Caring for Earth, body, and relationships as a daily practice rather than an aspirational ideal. Stewardship connects our work with veterans, our pollinator conservation, and land held by our partners.
✦ The founders ✦
Two lives. One philosophy.
Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer
Ty Clark
Ty is ALVARA's medicine maker: the formulator of MycoNectar and the artisan behind every small batch, each produced on a sound table tuned to nine Solfeggio frequencies, on the full moon, as ceremony.
Over 20-plus years he has studied with Indigenous elders and medicine keepers, sat in Lakota ceremony, and trained in the Vajrayana, Zen, and Dzogchen traditions. He holds certifications in Kundalini teacher training, Reiki Master (Usui), Alphabiotics, Theta Healing (Level 3), Rebirthing Breathwork, and Reconnective Healing.
Co-Founder & CEO
Jared Angaza
Jared has spent 25 years building brands and institutions across five countries, including a decade in East Africa, where he co-authored women's rights legislation ratified into law in Rwanda and designed the research framework for one of USAID's first micro-loan banking models.
He designed the first Citizen Astronaut Training Program with Space for Humanity and Yale, training two Blue Origin astronauts. In 2024 he joined the MIT Critical Data Research Lab as an Associate Researcher, focused on integrating Indigenous epistemology into AI ethics and healthcare education.
✦ The ecosystem ✦
ALVARA operates across four integrated pillars. Each one is an expression of the same philosophy: that vitality is sustained through symbiotic relationship between people, land, species, and practice.
MycoNectar
The flagship formulation. 24 synergistic ingredients suspended in raw honey, formulated by Ty Clark over 20-plus years on the principle of symbiotic stacking.
Learn more →Stewards of the Hive
Pollinator conservation and ancestral beekeeping. Bees are the living expression of the symbiotic principle ALVARA is built on.
Learn more →Front Line Vitality
Vitality programs for veterans, active duty military, and first responders.
Learn more →ALVARA Sanctuary
ALVARA Sanctuary is the picture we work from. One piece of land where the hives, the gardens, the kitchen, the gatherings, and the people who tend it all share the same ground.
That work does not wait on land of our own. Through Stewards of the Hive we place hives, plant pollinator habitat, build hive houses, and hold gatherings on land that partners already steward. Each of those Stewardship Sites is some expression of the Sanctuary, and each one brings the whole picture closer.

We are comfortable on the mic,
and we take the job seriously.
Jared hosted and produced the Noetic podcast (2020 to 2023) and is currently launching the MIT Critical Data Research Lab podcast as host. He has been a guest on more shows than he can reasonably count and has hosted online panel discussions with space industry experts and celebrities.
Ty has spent over 25 years teaching ancestral medicine, leading ceremony, and speaking on the intersection of nature, healing, and human vitality. He has been a trusted voice in the vitalist and functional wellness community for two decades.
We prepare. We show up. We come with specifics.
