The plant dieta is a chance to learn from one of the Master Plant teachers. “Dieting” is a traditional process one undertakes to learn and heal deeply from a plant. The dieta is done in isolation which gives the participant a chance to deeply be with herself, to see and understand the mind, and to allow the plant to maximize its effects.
Guests will arrive during the day, get settled in, have a diagnostic to see which plant would be of most benefit, and then begin the ceremony and dieting process that night. Food is kept to a minimum to allow the plant to deeply penetrate. It is said that when the body is weak, the spirit is high. Guests will drink a juice or smoothie or eat a light soup twice a day just in order to maintain physical force so that they are able to undertake the plant diet, which can be strong and profound.
The dietas will be run by myself and my colleague Merav, a very experienced tabaquera. Combined we have worked with and guided over a thousand people in ceremonies working with various plants. It is a great opportunity to work with both a very experienced male and female guide.
Guests have the option to stay between one and three weeks. Each diet is seven days and seven nights. We break the dieta on the eighth morning. Guest works with one tree per dieta. We recommend at least two weeks to go more deeply into the medicine. There is a two-day break in between diets to rest and recuperate. Guests can stay in town but we welcome and encourage everyone to stay in their rooms between diets. In these two days, we will not be preparing food, but guests can use the facilities and can prepare their own food, use the internet, rest, integrate, and run errands in town they may need to do.
The dietas will take place in Urubamba, Peru. This is in the Sacred Valley of Peru, where the lowland Amazonian jungle comes up and turns into the high Andean mountain range. Price is all-inclusive of the dieta, including all work, medicine, food, accommodation, and treatments. (Exact location and accommodation may vary depending on the number of dieters)
Dieta cost: 1 week: $950 plus 5% credit card charge
