Kathleen Harrison (aka Kat Harrison) is an independent scholar and ethnobotany teacher who was once married to Terence Mc Kenna. Kat focuses primarily on the way that various native cultures perceive nature, and how that perception translates into their stories, rituals, and healing practices. She sees psychedelic plant and mushroom rituals as a critical part of that relationship to nature. Kat and her late husband Terence founded Botanical Dimensions, a non-profit organization that collects medicinal and shamanic plants and documents their history and uses.
