The Shaman, Reshin Nika, will evaluate which plant to give you for the healing / teachings you need by; scanning your energy, and what he see’s in ceremony to be the right plant for you. Then he will prepare the plant(s) into a tea which you will drink daily.

You’ll then stay alone in a “Casita” (Tambo Hut), giving you the chance to fully connect with your plant. The more time you spend alone, the more your plant’s energy grows inside you, speeding up your healing in unexpected ways. Your Casita, includes a toilet, filtered water and a shower inside. Being in isolation with the prescribed Master Plant(s) gives you the opportunity to be fully present with your plant.  The more you remain by yourself, the more your plant will be available to you.  Its energy will blossom within you, deepening and accelerating your process in surprising ways.

The longer you can stay and Dieta a plant, the more beneficial it will be for you.

Drinking Ayahuasca is not required to experience profound healing. In fact, in traditional Amazonian practice, it was only the shaman who consumed the brew on behalf of others.

You will receive just as much benefit by working with the Master Plants through specially prepared teas and personalized plant diets (dietas) prescribed by the shaman. These healing and cleansing dietas are designed to support your body, mind, and spirit on your specific journey.

This journey is unique for each person. Working with the plants can be tough—they teach and heal through daily tests and dreams. Your wish to heal and how strong you are in it will help you face the challenges. The more you trust, the more the plant can heal you. At the center, you’ll get all the support you need to overcome difficulties.

Reshin Nika will guide and support you mainly through icaros, healing songs, but your plant is your true teacher and strength. Our facilitators are your helpers and listeners, assisting you daily and during ceremonies. Remember, healing is your own work, but you are never alone.

Once you overcome challenges, you unlock valuable gifts and new experiences. You free yourself from what holds you back and discover new parts of yourself and new possibilities.

Master Plants & Ayahuasca

Ayahuasca alone heals emotions, mind, spirit, and energy. When combined with a master plant, the healing goes deeper, reaching the root and helping with serious physical illnesses. During ceremonies, deep healing will manifest in many ways with your master plant’s power. This process needs strong commitment and preparation.

Dieting means growing the plant’s spirit inside you, like planting a seed, nurturing it over time. Your master plant becomes your personal healer, teacher, guide, and protector, helping you in unexpected ways if you trust and stay open.

We offer weekly or monthly dietas. Reach out to speak with us about your needs if you are usure and we can assist you.

THE DIETA PROCESS

Proper Mindset

While currently there exist an abundance of information on dieting, and the forms of dieting are many, Keto, Vegan, Paleo, et cetera, one can easily run into various mental challenges or hurdles if we attempt to look at the “why” using the western mind. For this reason, the instructions and guidelines were made intentionally as simple and as straight forward as possible. The Shipibo do not speak of dieting like westerners do; their lens for relating to diet is based on how they were trained and taught by their own teachers and mentors, as well as what the spirits of the Amazon teach them, and how they have evolved culturally. The instructions that are given, are directly from Maestro Reshin Nika tailered for your specific Master Plant Dieta. Each plant you Dieta will have its own unique requirments’s to the kinds of food you will be eating during your stay as well. The food is very restrictive, and meant to be very clean and bland, this enables you to be more open energetically to receive deeper teachings and healing.

Lead with Spirit

It is important to consider the spiritual dimension and aspect to your preparation. From a higher conscious perspective, attending this retreat is a spiritual and healing quest. As such, it is important to frame this undertaking as an experience that will require sacrifice; the adjustments you are being asked to make to your diet are one of several components that comprise the whole of your sacrifice. In the Shipibo tradition, as with other indigenous peoples, the extent of the sacrifice bears a direct correlation to the outcome you will experience during your visit, at the end of the retreat, and for your integration period following your stay. Please note, Maestro Reshin Nika will also provide specific instructions at the end of the retreat, as it is customary for him to give you post-retreat “dieta” instructions as well. The post-retreat instructions and guidelines are considered a critical component to your integration process and may last two weeks to a month after you leave, which if not followed correctly can make you very ill. Its important to commit fully to the process and take the post dieta seriously.

When one makes a conscious decision to delve in to the spiritual dimensions of healing, to be conscious also includes taking on the belief and understanding that you will be working with the spirit of each plant and tree that the medicine man, in this case Maestro Reshin Nika, uses while you are at the retreat. To the Shipibo each plant and tree has a spirit, which means they are beings. If you don’t already relate to this belief system, it is likely that you will by the end of your stay. Do your best to use this knowledge as a motivating factor for following the instructions and guidelines. It is advisable that you call on your spirit, guardian angels, ancestors, higher self, the universe, God, and/or on whatever you draw strength from to help you honor your commitment to this undertaking. Your connection to the Amazon begins as soon as you commit to making the journey to do the inner work.
