Education and Training

From an early age, Dr. Drew was trained in ancient druid lore, which promotes the cultivation of honorable connections and relationships with the physical, energetic, and spiritual landscapes—flora, fauna, the kingdom of fungi, lichen, algae, bodies of water, landforms, and diverse human beings of the world—as well as with nature deities and spirits of nature. This training emphasises the veneration of the divine essence in nature and all living things.

In his late teens and throughout his early and late adulthood, he was trained in Vedic Aryan lore while living in Bharat, or India, for many years. This training emphasises spiritual disciplines such as yoga, mantra repetition, meditation, pranayama, martial arts, sacred sexuality or tantra, and the ceremonial use of entheogens.

Exploring intersections such as nature and ecology, spiritual practices, holistic understanding of the self, cosmology, mythology and symbolism, and healing modalities fostered a deeper understanding of spirituality, nature, and the interconnectedness of all life.

Dr. Drew’s unique blend of druidic and Vedic Aryan knowledge positions him as a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern spirituality, offering insights into how individuals can live in harmony with themselves, each other, and the planet, including all animate and inanimate beings.

Dr. Maclean Pagon completed his medical training at the Tianjin International University of Modern and Traditional Medicine and Pharmacology, with clinical placements at Teaching Hospitals No.1 and No.2, and Tianjin Nankai Hospital of Integrated Medicine, earning an MBBS degree. He pursued a PhD in the History of Medicine at the Faculty of Medical Studies, Open University, Sri Lanka. Further research and clinical studies led to a Doctorate in Medicine (MD) and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychiatry, specializing in Integrated and Transcultural Psychiatry, at Tianjin Medical University, under the guidance of Academician Professor Dr. Wu Xian Zong, a WHO expert.

Shamanic and Entheogenic Experience

Dr. Maclean Pagon  began his shamanic journey with Ayahuasca and other Amazonian and Andean master plants and mushrooms in 1987, working with the Secoya Amazonian Amerindians in Colombia.

Global Experience

Having lived and worked in numerous countries including the UK, Denmark, Austria, Italy, China, India, Nepal, Mongolia, Japan, and others, Dr. Drew  brings a broad understanding of the transcultural, transpersonal, and entheogenic aspects of clinical medicine, psychology, and psychiatry.

Currently, Dr. Drew operates a licensed clinical practice in holistic medicine and psychiatry in Miraflores, Lima, and Tarapoto, San Martin, Peru.

He actively conducts field research on medicinal and entheogenic plants, mushrooms, and lichens across Peru’s diverse regions, collaborating with university researchers in the Peruvian Amazon.

At the moment, he finds himself again in Bharat, aka India, where he continues his journey of integrating Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, Tibetan Buddhist, and Tibetan Shamanic medicines and spiritual practices into his personal and clinical work with patients.
