About the authors…

Destiny has a funny way of coloring our lives and aligning our stars with invitations when least we expect them. When Mac and Ryan crossed paths in the spring of 2005, a spirited conversation about nagas, the collective unconscious, and ancient crystal skulls quickly evolved into a creative collaboration that gave birth to the prophetic sci fi franchise The Medicine Gate. With their combined forty plus years of esoteric, anthropological and cosmological studies, Mac and Ryan found in one another a synthesis of shared interests and a fellow seeker of truth. 

Inspired by the board game version of The Medicine Gate that Mac created ten years earlier, and based on a short story written by Ryan just weeks before they met, this collaboration began while traveling through India. For three years they resided together in Muir Beach, CA, creating this project as a vehicle for Self-remembering. Trough the teachings of Gurdjieff, and many ancient traditions, they set out to weave a tapestry of meme alchemy, planting seeds of possibility at this pivotal moment in human evolution. For all our relations.
