Dr Wolfhardt Janu,Chief Scientific Wyrdo and Co-Founder
Peter Merry,Chief Executive Wyrdo, Director and Co-founder


Carsten Ohrmann,Chief Strategic Wyrdo and Co-Founder
Michael Oswald,Chief Technology Wyrdo
He is the software lead for the Wyrdoscope and part of the research team, looking into psi phenomena and consciousness in general. He is a senior specialist for mission control systems and satellite test systems and has worked in various aerospace companies for several missions from ESA (European Space Agency) and DLR (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt). He holds a MSc in computer science and is a member of the British Computing Society.
He holds a teacher degree (Shidoshi) in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (japanese martial arts), which he trains in since 2001, and in the associated medicine Amatsu Ryoho. He has qualifications in western therapies (massage, NLP master practitioner) and has worked with psycho-kinesiology, EMDR, systemic therapies and several shamans.
He came into contact with Integral Metatheory in 2007, which is now an important backbone and framework for living, research, teaching, treatment and work. He gave several workshops and talks about Integral Metatheory and together with a friend created the Amatsu Tatara Shinden system, which combines the Integral with the japanese martial arts and medicine knowledge and which is the basis for the Science & Consciousness of the Self course on Ubiquity University, where he is a core faculty member.
His mission is to be a part of healing the fractures in today’s methodologies, from science to holistic wisdom, from technology to consciousness, from splintered, fragmented knowledge to fully integral (w)holism.


Kirsty Allan,Chief Research Wyrdo
Annette Grathoff,Senior Research Wyrdo
Annette Grathoff PhD, is convinced it is possible to come to a positive motivation for conserving biodiversity by gaining a thorough understanding of how stability develops and is lost in evolution. She leads a literature review project to achieve this goal. A universal and sound model for estimating what threatens as well as what perpetuates or even benefits life is needed.
Her project “The Evolution of Information Processing Systems“ comprises the evaluation of a body of literature from different disciplines; including theoretical as well as applied scientific work. As her profession is Biology, Chemical Ecology, she is mainly tracking insights in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry; insights into how stability and selection principles can evolve in abiotic or prebiotic contexts and which mathematical models of description have successfully prevailed in science and engineering so far. It is obvious that there is already much know-how and experience but distributed over (at least) thousands of brains which need to be “motivated to approach each other”. The yield is worth the effort!
Annette is a member of the oREGano community of researchers who are debating and addressing experimentally topics on the leading edge of knowledge – strictly following the principles which have proven themselves time and again as the scientific method.
Annette works closely with the Wyrd team in the development of the Wyrdoscope and related research.


Matt Akehurst,Co-Creative Wyrdo
Are we the eyes that make the light?
And what does interconnectedness look like?
A magical path led me to consciousness research working with great artistic souls, gifting me a deep curiosity in how the visual world is created by intention, optics, light and the act of making.
Co-creating many visual works, led to a realisation we are never-ending into something else, swimming in something so profound while being inside the process of re-discovering what we’ve always known. What a beautiful conundrum…
At Wyrd I work in the visual sciences lab, finding ways to co-communicate the data, research and product design developed by the group.
To communicate the ineffable, help shift the collective is the best work I can do at Wyrd.
