Inin Nete Sacred Plant Medicine Healing Center is an indigenous-owned center in Pucallpa, Peru, operating in partnership with a Shipibo healing family whose lineage spans generations. The healing team — Maestra Maricela, Maestro Francisco, and their children, Maestro Gavino, Maestra Karina, and Maestra Melissa — are the owners, not employees.

Groups are limited to 10 participants. The healer-to-participant ratio is 4:10. A healer remains present in the ceremonial space throughout the night following every ceremony.

The center is co-founded and facilitated by Mee Ok Icaro, a writer and plant medicine apprentice who has been working with plant medicine since 2013 and in formal Shipibo dieta since 2016. She is currently undertaking two simultaneous one-year master plant dietas. She has published in the LA Times, the Boston Globe, and Michael Pollan’s Trips Worth Telling, and was featured in the Netflix docuseries Unwell and Gabor Maté’s The Myth of Normal.

Each retreat is held in a three-month container: preparation begins one month before arrival, integration support continues for six weeks after departure.

Offerings include a guided ayahuasca retreat (8 nights) and a master plant dieta (14 nights). The center has particular experience with complex trauma, chronic and autoimmune illness, mental illness, those touched by adoption, and participants who have had difficult experiences with sacred medicines.

All applicants are interviewed prior to acceptance. Not all are accepted.
