Peter Gorman
Peter Gorman is a noted and award-winning journalist and adventurer. His feature writing has appeared in more than 100 major national and international magazines. He has also written a number of video pieces, including work for the United Nations and the Salvation Army, and has consulted for both National Geographic’s Explorer series and the BBC’s Natural World.
Gorman’s love affair with the Amazon jungle is well known to people in the field. Since 1984, he has spent a minimum of three months annually there–as well as all of 1998-2000–generally using Iquitos, Peru as his base of operations.
During that time he has studied ayahuasca, the legendary visionary and healing drink of the jungle, with his friend, the late curandero Julio Jerena, as well as the San Pedro, the sacred cactus of the highlands, with the healer Victor Estrada.
He has also collected botanical specimens for Shaman Pharmaceuticals and herpetological specimens for the FIDIA Research Institute of the University of Rome. He was the first person to ever work with the medicinal knowledge of the remote Matses Indians of the Peruvian-Brazilian border, and his description of their use of the secretions of the phyllomedusa bicolor frog has opened an entire field devoted to the use of amphibian peptides as potential medicines in Western medicine. His initial writing on the effects of the secretions is the first description of a human taking an animal substance directly into the bloodstream ever recorded.
He is the author of Ayahuasca in My Blood – 25 Years of Medicine Dreaming.

Morgan Brent
According to Brent, knowing ourselves via identities that are reactive to the mainstream agenda, such as alternative and counterculture, and anti-this or that, negates the generative capacity we have as a people aligned with the rebalancing forces, now going full tilt, of the natural world. In contrast to the rather anemic, and unsustainable, model of human development presented as the high income, city dwelling, university educated cosmopolitan, a more full-spectrum model of self-acculturation is offered when one tunes into the Gaian ‘innernet’ we all carry in the evolutionary heritage of our biological form, and follows the ‘original instructions’ accessed there. One so integrated into the sylvan cosmos, the society of Nature, is known as a sylvapolitan. The sylvapolitan, thru feeding on the rapidly composting cosmopolitan world, is synergizing into the matured human capable of emerging out of this 6th, and greatest, planetary ‘age of extinction’, we are currently in.
Originally from Ohio, Brent received an MA in anthropology (1993) from SFSU with research in Taiwan on traditional Chinese vitality concepts and practices. In the early 1990s he made his way through the San Francisco dance underground in various capacities, among them a teacher of tai chi chuan and ceremonial energetix. In 1995 he took a growing interest in medicinal plants to a doctoral program in ethnopharmacology at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. Simultaneously, he began working with ayahuasca. This resulted in a dual education, which eventually focused on the great herbalist traditions of the world, their role in spiritual revitalization movements, and their common message to humanity.
He left academia after the vast Gaian intelligence with which he had been engaging recruited him to its purposes full time. He now works to further the prescriptive teachings of medicinal plants, aka ‘Nature’s plan to save the humans’. In service to this guidance, he founded Tribes of Creation, an organization that umbrellas workshops and events thru out, and beyond, the Pacific NW. These include Singing Alive sacred song circle gatherings, now in their 6th year, and Human Flowering Creation-song circles, communally sung narratives of mythic renewal. He considers his work to be gestures of subtle activism, food for a spiritually hungry world.
