What is the process of a Dieta?

The Dieta is an integral and strong container in which each participant creates a pact with themselves, first and foremost, and then with the master plant of Bobinsana.  In this pact we open ourselves to connect with the wisdom of the plant so she becomes our ally and guide throughout our lives.  The structure of the Dieta is designed to strip you from all the stimuli around you so you can deeply go inward, clean and connect.

Every participant will have their own beautiful and comfortable cabin, treehouse or suite in which they will be able to retreat and have the space to dive deep without interruptions.  The retreat center is located on a mountain top overlooking the Caribbean Sea, on 4 lush beautiful acres of land, with magnificent tropical gardens, walking trails as well as communal areas and a sweet water pool.  The land is cared for with love and intention and has been dedicated as a healing space, which makes it ideal for the Dieta work.  In the heart of this sacred land, amidst the whispering leaves and the vibrant pulse of nature, lies Bobinsana, a treasure pulsating with life. Here, we don't just reside on the property; we immerse ourselves in its very essence. We commune with Bobinsana, allowing its spirit to entwine with ours, awakening a deep sense of connection and passion for the land that is truly transformative.

Participants are encouraged to fast from 1-3 days, more if they desire. The meals during the retreat are made by one of the facilitators, they are plant based and easily digestible, honoring the Dieta and meant to support you during your process. The meals will be brought to your space and you eat them when it feels right for you.

The retreat includes a plant purge to prepare and clean you prior to opening your Dieta. The first days of your Dieta you will receive vapor baths with local plants to aid the detox process. You will also receive Bobinsana baths. During the retreat we will offer workshops where we can learn about the Shipibo lineage and culture, other master plants and Dietas.

The diet will be opened with a Sacred Grandmother Ceremony.  Mid retreat we will meet for another ceremony to connect further.  A third ceremony at the end will close the Dieta.  Every ceremony has a sharing circle the following day.

We have included in this retreat 2 integration days, which will be very important to congeal your Dieta. During this time we will reintegrate slowly to eating slightly bigger portions, and more sustainable food. Some vegan proteins to regain strength. There will be integration talks, light yoga and trips to the beach, which are all optional.
