Daniel Waterman

Daniel Waterman was born London in 1962 and has lived in the Netherlands since 1972. He has a Masters Degree in Gold and Silversmithing and a BA in Fine Arts from the St. Joost Academy of Arts in Breda. An early interest in Altered States of Consciousness led to experimentation with psychedelic drugs. During the 1990s he became a member of the newly founded Santo Daime community in the Netherlands. Since the year 2001, Daniel has prepared and administered ayahuasca in hundreds of sessions. He is currently researching a book titled 'Entheogens, Society & Law' edited by Casey William Hardison, who is serving a twenty year sentence for challenging the UK Misuse of Drugs Act (www.freecasey.org). The primary focus of this work is on the legal, ethical and political implications of the use of entheogens outside their native context.
