About this Retreat
Onanya Rogelia is a traditional Shipibo doctor who been practising ancestral medicine for over 40 years. She is an exceptionally skilled indigenous Master Healer who has an immense and vast knowledge of the medicinal plants of the Amazon.
She is an esteemed member of ASOMASHK - The Shipibo-Konibo-Xetebo Association of Onanyabo/Ancestral Healers. The word ‘Onanya’ is a Shipibo term that translates as ‘one who knows’, ‘one who cures with the plants’.
Onanya Rogelia is a Maestra who comes from a long lineage of Shipibo healers. She was born deep in the Amazonian jungle, along the Pisqui river in Peru. Once as a young child and once as a teenager, she experienced significant long term illness, where she was ultimately healed by the plants and her Onanya grandfather.
Rogelia grew up in a time and place where she describes, ‘There were no pills, you went to the plants for everything’. When she was a young child she was deeply interested and drawn to learn how to heal and cure people. When Rogelia was 11 years old, her mother began taking her along to learn how to attend and support childbirths. She went on to learn from her Onanya grandfather, her uncle and older brothers, as well as her mother. She has dieted many, many plants, at times for up to 2 years in length.
Making the medicine accessible and affordable is important to Rogelia, and money is not her central priority. She has a large and loving family, with many grandchildren all of whom adore her, which is why she prefers to live and work close to home.
Maestro Mike is a Peruvian Shipibo healer who began learning the ways of Shipibo ancestral medicine from his mother, Onanya Rogelia, when he was a child. For the past 10 years he has been undergoing an in-depth apprenticeship with Onanya Rogelia, and is now a strong curandero in his own right.
Maestro Mike has a particular affinity with the powerful plant Tobacco, as well as an interest in continuing to learn how to process plant remedies – which is traditional to the work of Shipibo women. It is a joy for him to assist Maestra Onanya Rogelia in ceremony and throughout retreats. When he is not joining healing forces with his mother, he is leading ceremonies and offering healing in his remote village on the Ucuayali River.
Lore McLaren is a Retreat Organizer and Integration Guide for Onanya Rogelia and Onanya Healing Centre in Peru. -------When I myself felt called to travel to the jungle of Peru to seek healing, I was wary. I wondered how I was going to be able to find an authentic and powerful healer while avoiding ayahuasca tourism and indigenous exploitation.
I did indeed find what I was looking for – a true and extraordinary healer. I received a personalized plant healing treatment with Onanya Rogelia for 7 months and was cured of chronic illness that I had sought tirelessly to heal in Canada for over 12 years. When I’m not in Peru, supporting the Onanya’s vision and her brilliant work, I live in BC, Canada where I practise relational somatic therapy, conscious breathwork facilitation, plant medicine assisted therapy and plant medicine integration. You can read more about my integration work at https://www.nectara.co/guides/lore-mclaren.
If you feel called to embark on your own healing journey, I warmly invite you to join us for a retreat this November. Together, we can explore the deep, transformational power of these ancient traditions in a safe and sacred space.
