Join this transformative 11-day journey in the heart of the Amazon jungle, guided by Maestra Matilde. This retreat combines Ayahuasca ceremonies and master plant dietas to support deep physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Surrounded by the Amazon’s vibrant biodiversity, you’ll experience authentic plant medicine practices passed down through generations.
Why Choose a Plant Dieta in the Jungle?
A plant dieta in the Amazon offers a profound connection to plant medicine and a deeper understanding of oneself. Guided by shamans, participants work with plants like Ayahuasca, Chacruna, and Bobinsana, renowned for their unique healing properties. The dieta requires a strict diet and intentional solitude, allowing for increased sensitivity to plant energies and fostering growth through introspection.
What to Expect:
- Isolation and Silence: Experience solitude in your private tambo (hut), with minimal interactions to enhance inner connection.
- Ceremonial Practices: Rituals like flower and plant baths, along with energetic massages from Maestra Matilde, facilitate a deep connection to the healing power of the plants.
- Self-Discovery: This intense journey invites self-responsibility, as you will engage in deep introspection without the typical distractions of daily life.
