The Temple — Medicine

This room is deliberately quiet. What follows is a factual record, not an advertisement — the depth it points at does not live on a website.

I am a lineage-carrying Ayahuasquero of the Shipibo-Conibo and Shipibo-Shetebo traditions, with over two decades in the medicine. The path has also been recognised and blessed beyond them — by Qetchua, Qero and Aymara maestros, and by Australian Aboriginal law. Those initiations and blessings I hold with gratitude; I do not claim to carry those cultures. The medicine and the technology on this site are not two careers. They are one life: I built the websites of my maestros while dieting under them, and the same discipline that holds a dieta holds a production server.

The record

The path opened in Melbourne in 2009: two years of strict diet on the Huachuma path, over three hundred ceremonies. In 2012 I was examined over a week by Sovereign Queen Jingki of Gondwana Land, Senior Aboriginal Law Woman of Beagle Bay, and recognised as a medicine man by the oldest living medicine tradition on Earth.

The same year the Amazon took me. I was initiated as an Ayahuasquero under Maestro Don Jose Campos in the Qetchua Munay lineage, then entered apprenticeship with Shipibo Maestro Mukanranko in Pucallpa: four months of diet and training with twenty-three master teacher plants, followed by two years of celibacy, strict diet, and over five hundred ceremonies in the Unaya path of the Shipibo-Conibo tradition. There I was given the name Metsarono.

In 2014 came the deep-jungle Mariri diet and then five months of Banco de la Medicina under Mukanranko — sequential plant diets culminating in twelve hundred master teacher plants, and the qualification of Unaya Honi: Doctor of Shipibo Traditional Plant Medicine.

From 2015 to 2017 I trained in Europe under Maestro Inkanima in the Muraya path of the Shipibo-Shetebo tradition — including a forty-plant diet I co-supervised as the accompanying maestro — and was named Metsaronin.

Since 2018, through Mother Sri Sucharita Saraswati, the thread continues in the Academy.

What this is not

I do not sell ceremonies. I do not run retreats. I will not diagnose you, initiate you, or perform the medicine for content. The traditions named above are living lineages with their own law, and the parts of this record that matter most are not written here — deliberately.
