The Healing Path
What is the Master Plant Diet?
The Master Plant Diet, rooted in Shipibo and Achuar traditions, is a sacred practice where participants work with specific Amazonian plants under the guidance of our healers and shamahs Sergio and Demetrio. By consuming plant preparations (teas, infusions, or baths) and adhering to a strict dietary and behavioral regimen, you align with the plant’s energy to cleanse physical toxins, release emotional blockages, and open spiritual pathways.
The dieta is not only about what you ingest — it is about creating the conditions for the plants to work within you. Silence, simplicity, and focused intention allow the healing spirits of the plants to cleanse, detoxify, and guide you toward balance.
The dieta is personalized, with plants chosen based on your intentions and needs, fostering a deep bond with the plant spirit for lasting transformation.
Why Dieta?
- Cleansing the Body: Removes toxins, resets digestion, and clears the effects of processed food, alcohol, and pharmaceuticals.
- Detoxifying the Mind: Creates space to release mental clutter, negative thought patterns, and emotional heaviness.
- Purifying the Spirit: Opens subtle energy channels, strengthening protection and deepening spiritual awareness.
Amazonian Master Plants We Work With
Our Master Plant Diet features carefully selected Amazonian plants, each chosen for their potent properties to cleanse the body and soul, and support detoxification:
Gently opens the heart, releasing grief and emotional pain while supporting compassion and emotional clarity.
Chiric Sanango (Brunfelsia grandiflora)
Known for its powerful cleansing of the nervous system, it restores courage and inner strength, helping to clear “cold” energies that weigh down body and spirit.
Ajo Sacha (Mansoa alliacea)
A strong plant for energetic cleansing and detoxification. It removes negative energies and strengthens spiritual protection.
Chuchuhuasi (Maytenus macrocarpa)
Heals and fortifies the physical body, particularly joints and muscles, while grounding the spirit in stability and resilience.
Toé (Brugmansia suaveolens)
A sacred visionary plant, approached with great care and only under strict guidance. It offers profound spiritual cleansing and access to hidden realms of knowledge.
Ayahuma (Couroupita guianensis)
A powerful protector plant that shields from heavy or intrusive energies, restoring balance and reinforcing personal boundaries.
Iporuru (Alchornea castaneifolia)
Supports physical detoxification and vitality, easing inflammation and restoring energy, while harmonizing the body’s natural rhythms.
Uña de Gato (Uncaria tomentosa)
Renowned for its immune-boosting and detoxifying properties, it cleanses the body of toxins and strengthens natural defenses, while also offering spiritual purification.
Piñón Blanco (Jatropha curcas)
A potent purgative plant used traditionally for deep bodily cleansing and energetic purification. It assists in releasing dense energies and clearing blockages from both body and spirit.
Each plant is prepared by Sergio under sacred rituals, often during the new moon, and administered with icaros to enhance its healing properties. The plant selection is tailored after an initial consultation to align with your physical, emotional, and spiritual goals.
The Dieta Process
The Master Plant Diet, central to our Master Plant Diet Retreat, follows a structured process to maximize healing:
- Consultation and Plant Selection: Prior to the retreat, you meet with Demetrio or Sergio to discuss your intentions (e.g., detoxification, emotional healing, spiritual growth). They select a master plant tailored to your needs.
- Dietary Restrictions: For 7–10 days, you follow a strict plant-based diet, avoiding salt, sugar, alcohol, caffeine, red meat, dairy, and processed foods. This purifies the body and enhances the plant’s effects.
- Plant Administration: You consume the chosen plant daily (as tea, infusion, or bath), guided by Demetrio’s icaros. This fosters a spiritual connection, often experienced through dreams, insights, or heightened intuition.
- Isolation and Reflection: The dieta includes periods of solitude in eco-friendly accommodations, minimizing social interaction to deepen your bond with the plant spirit. Time is dedicated to journaling, meditation, and quiet reflection.
- Integration Support: Daily integration circles and one-on-one sessions with facilitators help process emotional and spiritual shifts, ensuring the dieta’s lessons are woven into your life.
A certified nurse is available to monitor health during the retreat, ensuring safety throughout the detoxification process.
