“Lyle is a long-time professor of plant medicine, and is well known worldwide. I often ask people in foreign countries if they know of him, and often they do. Lyle brought me into U Mass, and has been gracious and kind. He also has done heroic work trying to get DEA off their butts to allow U Mass to cultivate cannabis. ” – Chris Kilham, Medicine Hunter
In the mid 1990’s Chris Kilham showed up at a trade show with a Tahitian prince, a South Pacific chief, a Brazilian shaman, and several friends from the US. Under the name “The New Tribe,” the group attended the trade show, showed up at parties, and generally made a scene. People seemed to enjoy the idea, and we generated a lot of friendly conversation.
Fast forward to the present, when Zoe Helene took the "New Tribe" idea and decided to create a section on this web site for the people and organizations that fit well with Medicine Hunter – New Tribe. In this section you will find friends, associates, people we admire, people with whom we work, people who are thought leaders, people who are supporters.
From herbalists to shamans, researchers, videographers, herbal traders, scholars, yogis, entrepreneurs and other thought leaders, the members of the New Tribe span a very broad range of interests, all somehow connected to healthy lifestyle and sustainability. This is an ever-evolving list. If you or someone you know are not on this list but should be, either we are working on it or we’d appreciate hearing from you. It may well be that your profile exists but we need more information from you, or we need you to formally approve it.
We want this section to be fun, interesting, informative. Perhaps as a result of perusing this section you’ll learn about someone with whom you want to connect, discover a useful resource, or get introduced to new thoughts and ideas. Connections beget connections. This is one way we hope to help broaden the world of healing and sustainability.
Please note: New Tribe profiles are in alphabetical order. The feature box automatically rotates each time you visit or refresh the page.
Are you a New Tribe member waiting to be put on the list? Do you know other candidates for New Tribe? Let us know. This site is not static. It is an evolving, shaping, shifting, changing piece of work. Currently this page shows only some of many profiles. We have many more profiles of fabulous people awaiting ‘approval’ in our go-live process (your profile may already exist, but just needs your input). Your comments and suggestions will make this site even better. We are all one humanity. One Tribe- One Vibe!
