Meet The Team

Founder & Director

John Newman

Years before founding Zenlabs in Colorado in 2015 (Zenlabsusa.com), John was a practitioner and student of natural medicinals and entheogens. A long career in the oil & gas industry provided the knowledge of extraction technologies which correlated to the burgeoning cannabis/hemp industries, culminating in Zenlabs’ offerings of the highest quality CBD products available.

By establishing Sacred Key Fellowship, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we are now able to provide organically grown, responsibly and lovingly prepared entheogens for our members.

Director

Brad Canova

A long time associate and affiliate of the Founder, involving a variety of construction, real estate & cannabis businesses, Brad has spent the last 4 years immersed in the industrial hemp industry, as a cultivator, developer and consultant, bringing online building products as well as CBD oil products to the market.

Being an avid proponent of micro-dosing Brad brings integral connections and marketing skills to the Fellowship.
