The Gringo Shaman of the Amazon: Don Ron Wheelock
In the heart of the Peruvian rainforest, right off the shores of the Amazon River, Don Ron Wheelock stands as a powerful healer in the world of Ayahuasca.
Don Ron’s path to becoming an Ayahuasquero and curandero began as a quest for spiritual wisdom and personal healing. Born in Independence, Kansas, he embarked on a life-changing journey that led him far from his roots to the heart of the Amazon rainforest. In 1996, he set foot in Peru in search of a spiritual teacher, driven by an inner calling to explore the mysteries of consciousness.
Ron’s journey was profoundly shaped by the indigenous wisdom of his teachers. Under the guidance of Don Agustin Rivas Vasquez and Don Jose Coral Mori, Ron was passed down ancient wisdom on healing with plants and working with ayahuasca. Don Ron’s training involved immersive plant diets, ceremonial rituals, and apprenticeships in the art of Ayahuasca healing. Over five months with Don Agustin and further study with Don Jose, he honed his skills in preparing Ayahuasca, singing sacred Icaros, and performing healings.
With over 25 years of dedicated service, Don Ron’s journey led him to become a revered Ayahuasquero and curandero, mastering the intricate rituals and practices associated with Ayahuasca.
