The authors of this report are grateful for the time and consideration that many attendees at the Oracle 2002 Gathering gave to the questionnaire. As a result, we have been able to undertake what we believe to be the first statistical investigation of attendees at a shamanic gathering. The results have been interesting and provide impetus and direction for further study.
