In email some people have said I should write to Lux Natura in Berkeley
for McKenna materials. I did so a few months ago and found they no longer 
sell anything, but other people do. I am going to reproduce without permission
the letter I got since the information therein will interest many people,
especially the resource list.

LUX NATURA
2140 Shattuck Ave., Box 2196, Berkeley CA 94704
	Thank you for your inquiry into the tapes, books, graphics and
information that Lux Natura made available for many years. PLEASE NOTE:
As of a year ago, June of 1991, Lux Natura has no longer existed as a
business. We have no inventory. If you have placed an order with Lux,
your check is being returned to you. The best we can do is offer you the
enclosed resource list. Many of these folks sell the materials Lux did,
along with other offerings. To our old customers, thanks for your
support and sense of humor. To the newly inquiring, you are on an
interesting path. Good luck in finding what you seek.
	My work is now entirely with my art and _Botanical_Dimensions_
(PO Box 807, Occidental CA 95465), a non-profit organization dedicated to
collecting, protecting, propagating and understanding the healing and
shamanic plants. Your contributions are welcome and tax-deductible. A
subsscription to _PlantWise_, Botanical Dimensions' newsletter, edited
by Kathleen Harrison-McKenna, is $20 for four issues. BD does not sell
plants or tapes or anything else; look on this resource list for
purveyors.
			Sincerely, 	Kat
