Marco Antonio Venancino
At 35 years old and with 25 years of practice in traditional medicine
Shaman and Musical Artist
​
The Master Marco Antonio Venancino is known in the artistic world as Korin Mea, he is Onanya, which means traditional doctor based on the shamanism of the Shipibo-Konibo native people, as well as a musical artist who interprets the genre of “Cumbia Mashá” or cumbia ícaro. His name in Shipibo is “Sanken Sani”, which means “Brilliant Young Man”, owner or possessor of ancestral wisdom and values, proud to belong to the Shipibo-Konibo indigenous people, ancient inhabitants located on the banks of the Ucayali River and its tributaries, a territory of tropical forests in the eastern center of the Peruvian Amazon.
​
He comes from a generation of shamans
Since my youth I have received from my grandparents the inheritance of traditional knowledge based on master and medicinal plants such as ayahuasca and has been ordained as Onanya, to deliver to my neighbors the benefits in physical and emotional health that the knowledge of medicine provides. traditional and the natural and supernatural powers that come from the master plants.
​
Born in a Native Community
He was born in the Shipibo indigenous community called “Paoyhan”, in the lower Ucayali region, Loreto, near Contamana. He grew up in the same community until he was 16 years old. As a young man, Marco Antonio was “forced” to grow up quickly, he enjoyed playing with other children from the village, going fishing, hunting and had an eminent curiosity about the plants and animals of the Amazon rainforest.
Fortunately, most of Marco Antonio's family were shamans from the lower Ucayali, well-known and prestigious and recognized as the Mahua family of the Paococha indigenous community, so Marco Antonio decided to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors in traditional medicine. From his youth he felt a connection with the Icaros and the ancestral charm of medicine that his uncle Manuel Mahua would share with him on many occasions.
​
The Call of the Universe
According to the visions through ayahuasca, the universe had set Marco Antonio's destiny. When his father died, he took power from the knowledge his father left him and began to read and study. Marco Antonio felt called to follow the path of the Shaman, so much so that the shaman Manuel Mahua guided him to his ordination as Onanya, a traditional Shipibo doctor, starting his samá or diet from the age of 11, making a substantial lifelong commitment to heal and help others.
The first three months of his first diet (samá) that his teacher, Marco Antonio, opened, he was able to connect in the ceremonies with the powers and properties of the master plant ayahuasca; Marco Antonio had the effect of the medicine where he received messages from his late father that he was the one called and chosen to continue the path of medicine with the opening of sacred visions, teachings, icaros and his gifts as a shaman.
​
The Initiation Diets
To date, Marco Antonio has followed a diet with approximately fifty different master plants and trees. The most difficult part of his training was dealing with certain emotions, thoughts, feelings and traumas that he found difficult to understand and integrate in order to move forward. These situations marked Marco Antonio's life and he now recognizes that when you give your life to serve others, you often have to face unexpected spiritual challenges or, better said, spiritual opportunities!
To take advantage of these opportunities, Marco Antonio committed himself to giving himself totally and completely to the divine and moves away from negative thoughts and emotions with conviction. “Accepting who you are and how you are at every moment is important to grow and staying in the present moment is what makes the difference” are Marco Antonio's strengths.
Marco Antonio considers himself a lifelong student of Shipibo ancestral medicine and constantly seeks to further deepen his relationship with ayahuasca and other master plants/trees with which he works. As a result, his healing ability continues to evolve, strengthen and therefore offer changes in others.
​
Service to humanity
His professional career focused on healing those who come to Peru in search of transformation and life change through ayahuasca and currently based in Yarinacocha-Pucallpa, Marco Antonio continues to offer services and benefits of shamanism, from his own Spiritual Center "Korin." Mea Spiritual Center" located in the native community of San Salvador, Yarinacocha district, 18 kilometers from the city of Pucallpa. I came to understand and value that shamanism is an ancestral science, like the "diets", "samá" which would be the discipline of ayahuasca as a master and sacred plant, which is practiced with respect, to be a shaman or teacher you have to have the diet, and without a diet you are nothing in shamanism.
His indigenous brothers, sisters and many people from other corners of the world They can testify to his career and work. He has been committed to sharing his gifts to change people's lives and emotions. He started about 10 years ago, working in prestigious centers such as “Baris Betsa”, “Oka Wasi” and “Soltara”, “Espíritu de Anaconda”, centers that are very well-known in the industry.
