Rights & Permissions
Terence passed on his ideas to everyone. However he passed on the intellectual property rights to all of his written and spoken work to his two children Finn McKenna and Klea McKenna. Lux Natura, a small publishing company founded in 1977 by Terence and his former partner Kathleen Harrison, now manages these rights and is owned by his heirs and their mother. Anyone with interest in publishing Terence’s work, in any form, must contact us for authorization. Any use of his material for purpose of profit must be approved by Lux Natura. Fees for permitted use or royalties from the sale of any Terence McKenna properties are to be paid to Lux Natura. No other person, family member, or entity is entitled to authorize use of Terence McKenna’s intellectual property. Thank you for honoring Terence’s legacy and the rights of his heirs by respecting his wishes.
