Peter Gorman Boeken

“Long before ayahuasca tourism became a pastime for rich gringos, Peter Gorman was knocking around Iquitos and the Amazon. He's traveled the rivers and quaffed the brew with the best (and the worst) of them and been way, way beyond the chrysanthemum on many a dark jungle night. This is the intensely personal story of an old-school jungle rat for whom ayahuasca is not just a hobby, but a life-long quest.†-Dennis McKenna, Ph.D, co-author of The Invisible Landscape,“Unlike many writing about ayahuasca, Peter Gorman knows this plant and these forests long and well. Explorer, ethnobotanist, writer and raconteur – Gorman is uniquely qualified to tell this incredible tale. A wild mixture of adventure, horror, spirituality, tenderness, and insight, Ayahuasca in My Blood is most highly recommended!†Mark J. Plotkin, Ph.D, author of Tales of a Shaman’s Apprentice.

Peter Gorman's Sapo In My Soul is the story of the Western world's discovery of the powerful Matses frog medicine known as Sapo or Kambo.

With over two dozen photos as well as stories and information on sapo's sister medicine nu-nu, Sapo In My Soul is a power-packed ride into uncharted terrain.

What people are saying: "Adventurous, courageous and foolish in fairly equal measures, Peter has drunk, snorted, inhaled and otherwise extensively fed deeply from the ingenious pharmacopoeia of the Amazonian shamans. In his latest tale Sapo In My Soul, he recounts his dramatic discovery of the use of sapo frog among the Peruvian Matses. Using his well-developed eye for detail and driven by innate curiosity, Gorman shares his early days of sapo discovery, and sets the scene for the examination of sapo's novel peptides by pharmaceutical entities."
