Bryce Draper (here after BD) was introduced to me along with the many medicines that he serves back in April 2018 personally. I am healthy and have done other more meditative healing works without medicine but I was curious about this direction and wanted to know more. It ended up becoming a longer journey that took me to Peru with BD and his team. Here I came to see that BD is a very different person in reality than what he presents in guided ceremony and on social media. (he is a trained actor by trade) In reality he, as a teacher is completely flawed and has no intention of doing real teachings about healing.
I think that he really does not know that much about what he pretends to know. BD is about money and how to capitalize on an ancient medicine and synthesize it, for the purpose of mass production. DB himself was at his retreat taking Iboga and smoking cannabis too. Not a very sacred approach. He also did not care for the participants well being and pocketed the money received from participants ($2700 per person) under the false pretense that it was being used to preserve the Matsés Culture and Land. BD. did spend some money on plastic toys and fireworks for the native kids so he could gain Popularity.
We saw how this action generated jealousy and thievery among the local children. Bryce is a psychologically sick man and is not fit to serve medicine. He is continuously slandering people who have worked for him now that they have also realized the truth. He made sexist and inflammatory remarks to the women present in the group. He is manipulating the tribes people and their medicine for personal gain and is outright lying about what he is doing for the Tribe in return.
At the retreat I was there as a documentarist and had to quit on the 5th day due to what I clearly saw and personally experienced. When the other participants realized that they had been tricked by a con man, they demanded a refund. When I personally relayed this request to Bryce from the group, he threatened me with future repercussions and that I would immediately be escorted off the Land by the Matsés men. He went and demanded them to walk me out of the village like a fascistic general. Luckily they did not take any action. It has been a very unpleasant experience, to say the least, to see a person that manipulates a following (including myself) into believing that he has the knowledge, rightful conduct and integrity.
He is endangering people he serves the medicine to and is endangering the tribes he claims to be helping. He is doing his best to destroy other teachers with defamation and vilification that has no foundation in reality. By this statement urge the community to organize and take necessary action in order to keep the Kambo Medicine community, as a whole, safe.
