About Jonathon:

Ethnobotanist Jonathon Miller Weisberger, also known as Sparrow, has dedicated the past thirty years to studying rainforest plant medicine traditions. Since 1996, he has organized biannual “Rainforest Medicine Council Gatherings,” which are experiential workshops, journeys, and ethnobotanical immersions aimed at “Personal, Community, and Planetary Renewal.” These gatherings offer participants an intimate opportunity to learn from cultural adepts, the mighty rainforest, the wilderness, and the omnipotent plant teachers themselves.

From 1990 to 2000, Jonathon worked extensively in the Ecuadorian Amazon on projects focused on cultural heritage revalidation, territorial demarcation, and the establishment of biological reserves with Kichwa-speaking Indigenous families, as well as the Waorani and Siekopai indigenous ethnic minorities. He is the author of “Rainforest Medicine - Preserving Indigenous Science and Biodiversity in the Upper Amazon.”

Today, Jonathon is the steward of Ocean Forest Ecolodge, an ethnobotanical garden, nature immersion, and wellness retreat center on Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, that he over saw the building of. He resides between Costa Rica and Ecuador with his wife and two children.
