Hey everybody! Episode 19 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke with my friend Nelson Barbaran Gómez. Nelson and I have worked together for a number of years running ayahuasca ceremonies. He comes from the Shipibo lineage of working with plants and brings a joy and openness to his work that is tangible. He also works with a great deal of integrity and has a real desire to help and to share. For these reasons, I think he is a really good example of a great curandero. He is leading the way for a new generation of doctors and he has a lot to share and offer. I think you all will get a lot out of this episode. And a big thank you to my friend Carolina for translating and opening up the conversation to a much larger audience. Thank you!

“Nelson is native of the community of Nuevo Paraiso. His Shipibo name is Isasina, meaning “a bird who takes care of others.”
Nelson comes from a family of curanderos; both his father and grandfather practiced medicine. His parents died when he was very young, and very early on he started sitting in ceremonies held by his older brother, who is also a curandero. Lacking parental guidance, Nelson learned from the medicine “how to be a good human being.”
Nelson drank ayahuasca for the first time at age twelve and was immediately fascinated by the medicine world. Soon afterward, he asked his brother to open his first dieta for him. Following the advice of his older brother, Nelson mentally prepared over the course of one full year, strongly setting his intentions to become a healer at the service of others. After a year, his brother agreed to initiate Nelson on the path to become a Shipibo Onanya.
Over the course of the next two years, Nelson dieted and learned from the plants, crafting his own pipe and learning how to control and direct the mareación. During this period, he went through many of the challenges and tests that the plant spirits presented him in order to learn. At age 15 he started treating patients, and one year later started learning more closely with his grandfather Francisco. Nelson started working with western patients when he was 16. For Nelson, these encounters have been good opportunities to exchange ideas and knowledge between different cultures, and he has a deep appreciation for western psychotherapy and psychology.
Nelson is passionate about his work and craft and is committed to helping others with his medicine. He is also passionate about his own culture and sees his work as a vehicle to recover and preserve traditional practices and knowledge in a rapidly changing world. He enjoys seeing schools in some native communities teaching the Shipibo language again, encouraging kids to dress in their traditional clothes, address each other in their Shipibo names, and is proud of his role in the current revitalization of the Shipibo culture.”
