Robert Moss describes himself as a dream teacher, on a path for which there has been no career track in our culture. He is the creator of Active Dreaming, an original synthesis of dreamwork and shamanism. Born in Australia, he survived three near-death experiences in childhood. He leads popular seminars all over the world, including a three-year training for teachers of Active Dreaming. A former lecturer in ancient history at the Australian National University, he is a best-selling novelist, journalist and independent scholar.

MICHAEL DUNNING is known as the Yew Shaman. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, had a series of encounters with Elemental Spirits and near death experiences which led to visions, out of body and altered states of consciousness, as well as intense physical pain. His health was completely destroyed, but an encounter and long nine year apprenticeship with an ancient Yew Tree healed him, and taught and initiated him into the way of a Shaman. He now resides in the United States where he practices Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and teaches the wisdom of the Yew Tree.
