Dean Jeffreys
Dean Jeffreys' web site has a wealth of information on events and links related to use of shamanic plants. Dean has also created a wonderful documentary titled, "Shamans of the Amazon" which is a personal account  of his returning to the Amazon with his partner and one year old daughter. They journey deep into the heart of  the Ecuadorian rainforest to meet two Amazon Shamans, to learn about and experience the ancient ayahuasca ritual. The film will also show how this hallucinogenic ritual is being adapted and used in western cultures.
