Matthew "Mateo" Magee
has been serving communities as a spiritual teacher, guide, and expedition leader since 1998. His book Peruvian Shamanism: The Pachakuti Mesa (2002) was the first written account of a lineage that spans thousands of years, bridging the Northern Coastal Huachumero and Southeastern Andean Paqokuna traditions of Peru.
Though he holds multiple university degrees, Mateo regards his true education as having come from decades of immersive living and apprenticeship with traditional Indigenous communities across North and South America. With 27 years of dedicated study in the Peruvian systems of curanderismo, his current work explores the power of receptivity in nature, stillness within movement, and the profound teachings found in silence and solitude.
One of Mateo’s core gifts lies in his ability to be a student at all times. This mindset allows him to make complex and often elusive spiritual principles both accessible and deeply relatable to his students. His inclusive teaching style fosters a safe, expansive spaces where every soul can stretch out in, evolve, and ultimately find their way home.
