We offer the opportunity to connect with Shipibo Maestro Wexa Metsa for special consultations regarding the medicine path, curandero training, and Icaro workshops
Suitable for students of any lineage, especially those sharing medicine
Maestro Wexa Metsa, offers a unique bridge between the ancient Shipibo-Konibo medical system and the western world.
Wexa Metsa started his curanderismo training at the age of 18 under maestra Olivia Arevalo, and completed many strict long-term dietas specifically to train as a doctor. Being the grandson of such a renowned healer, he received a very special education and guidance so that he could continue sharing the sacred ancestral knowledge of the Shipibo Medical System with integrity.
With his unique charisma and open mind, Wexa Metsa shares deep insights about the core of the Shipibo Plant Medicine practice. It is a privilege to receive wisdom that comes from the direct transmission of the Shipibo ancestors as this is profound sacred knowledge that has not been typically shared with westerners.
During a consultation with Wexa Metsa you can:
- Really grasp what an actual Master Plant Dieta is truly about and learn how to make the most of your dietas and learning path, just like a traditional doctor in training.
- Know how to interpret your shamanic dreams for a deeper education.
- Gain insights into making sense of your post dieta life and how to navigate the tests presented by the medicine.
- Uplevel your icaro language for more powerful ceremonies that truly bring out your unique medicine expression.
