Ron Wheelock

Ron Wheelock, AKA "The Gringo Shaman", arrived in Peru in March of 1996, with the intention of becoming a healer. During his first trip, he drank the hallucinogen, ayahuasca, twice. He returned again in November of that year to begin his training and stayed 5 months, doing many plant diets. Before he returned home, he was introduced to Don Jose Coral Mori: The teacher of Pablo Amaringo and Eduardo Luna. He studied with these teachers until almost 2001, and then started working on his own. Since November of 2000, he has lived in Iquitos with the caraterra Iquitos-Nauta, continuing his work with the medicine.
