Historical Context
The instructions and guidelines provided are based on the Shipibo tradition of working with the medicinal plants and trees of the Amazon. The modern Shipibo diet has been influenced heavily by external forces; consequently, foods such as poultry, pasta, rice, and refined sugar have all become staples over the last few generations. Historically, their primary foods were fish, plantain, a variety of fruits, and to a lesser extent leafy vegetables; in addition, like other indigenous cultures hunting wild game was once more commonly practiced. The Shipibo also produce a fermented drink known as Masato, whose base ingredient is yucca. From what is known, spices and seasonings such as salt, pepper, and garlic were not part of their diets. Simply put, the ancestors of today’s Shipibo had a simple diet that was ecologically sound for them. They ate and fed their families from what their habitat offered them. Being a communal culture, it was and still is customary for Shipibo families and clans to share their food with each other in the spirit of love and community.
The ancient rain forest is intelligent and alive. It has a memory, and your pre-retreat diet is a direct reflection of the Shipibo ancestral practices for nourishing the body in preparation for the healing journey to come. The latter is significant in that the instructions and guidelines provided here (*See below) serve as a sort of foundation for understanding “why” Shipibo medicine men (i.e. maestro/shaman/curandero/healer/vegetalista) place a large emphasis on keeping a simple diet in preparation for the journey you are about to embark on.
Ancestors and Lineage
Shipibo shamans rely on how they were taught for setting diet guidelines. There are slight variations based on their unique family lineage. In Maestro Reshin Nika’s case, his first teacher was his maternal grandfather. He later had two more teachers, but his initial foundation was set by his grandfather. Shipibo shamanism runs in families, and in this regard, it was common for parents to observe their children to see which of them displayed characteristics that made them candidates to become healers. In many cases the parents or grandparents may receive confirmation of this through visions and dreams. Children who were identified as future shamans would usually begin their preparation as early as 12 or 13 years of age. In this manner, the proper way to work with the medicinal plants and trees is passed on over many years. Essentially, the proper way to diet is taught but a shaman is also given direct instructions from the healing spirits of the Amazon he works with about how to work with his clients (a.k.a. travelers). This could include information on what foods to feed a client, what medicinal plants or trees to introduce, and as well as what icaros (i.e. sacred songs) he will channel during ceremonies.

Antoine- Cancun, Mexico
“I first heard about Reshin Nika through a close friend who had an incredibly profound and transformative healing experience during a month-long dieta with him. The way they spoke about the depth of emotional and spiritual healing they experienced really stayed with me. It inspired me to embark on my own month-long dieta with Reshin Nika, and I can now say that the experience has far exceeded my expectations. His presence, the way he holds space, and the depth of his connection to the medicine are truly extraordinary. I have been deeply moved by his integrity, sensitivity, and the powerful healing energy he brings to each ceremony. I feel a strong sense of trust in his abilities—not only as a shaman but as a deeply compassionate guide in this sacred work. This journey is already having a profound impact on me, and I’m grateful to be learning and healing under his care.”
