Personalized Plant Dieta with Maestro Reshin Nika

Maestro Reshin Nika will determine which master plant is right for your healing and learning by scanning your energy and observing what is revealed in ceremony. Based on this, he will prepare the appropriate plant(s) into a tea that you will drink daily.

You’ll stay in a private Casita (also known as a Tambo Hut), allowing you to connect deeply with your plant in solitude. The more time you spend in quiet reflection and isolation, the stronger your bond with the plant becomes—amplifying its healing effects in unexpected and powerful ways. Each Casita is equipped with a toilet, shower, and filtered water for your comfort.

Being alone with your prescribed master plant(s) creates the space for deep internal work. As you maintain this sacred silence, the plant’s energy blossoms within you, helping to accelerate your healing process on all levels.

The longer you can commit to your dieta, the more profound the benefits will be.

What Is a Dieta?

To dieta a plant is to form a sacred bond with its spirit—planting it like a seed within you and nurturing it with care, silence, and intention. Over time, the plant becomes your healer, teacher, protector, and guide—offering insights and healing in ways you might never expect.

We offer both weekly and monthly dietas. If you're unsure where to begin, feel free to contact us. We’re here to guide you in choosing the path that best supports your healing and growth.

Ayahuasca Is Optional—Not Essential

In traditional Amazonian healing, it was often only the shaman who consumed ayahuasca, channeling its power to heal others. Similarly, at our center, drinking ayahuasca is not required to experience deep transformation.

You can receive just as much benefit by working with the master plants through personalized dietas—special herbal preparations tailored to your specific healing path. These dietas cleanse and balance the body, mind, and spirit, opening the way for profound growth and transformation.

Your Journey Is Unique

Working with master plants is a deeply personal journey. The plants are both teachers and healers, often working through challenges, dreams, and subtle internal shifts. Your desire to heal—and the strength of your commitment—will guide you through any difficulties that arise.

At the center, you will be fully supported. Reshin Nika will guide your journey primarily through icaros—sacred healing songs channeled in ceremony. Our facilitators are present to support and assist you daily, offering guidance, care, and a listening ear whenever needed.

While your healing journey is ultimately your own, you will never walk it alone.

Transform Through Challenge

As you face and overcome internal challenges, you’ll unlock powerful insights and receive gifts that were once hidden. You’ll shed what no longer serves you and awaken new aspects of your being. This is the true magic of the dieta process.

The Power of Master Plants & Ayahuasca

While ayahuasca on its own works powerfully on the emotional, mental, spiritual, and energetic levels, combining it with a master plant takes the healing even deeper. Ayahuasca is often considered the doorway—it opens the energetic space for your dieta plants to enter and do their work. This can be done through yourself or in tandem with the shaman. Together, they can reach into the depths of physical and energetic roots of chronic illness and imbalance. In ceremony, the energy of your master plant will support and amplify the healing process, allowing profound transformation to unfold.

THE DIETA PROCESS

The Right Mindset for Dieta

In today’s world, the word diet often brings to mind trends like Keto, Vegan, or Paleo—typically focused on physical health and nutrition. But when it comes to traditional Amazonian plant dietas, approaching this work with a purely Western mindset can create mental and emotional roadblocks. That’s why the guidelines for your dieta are intentionally kept clear and simple.

The Shipibo people do not speak of dieting in the same way as Westerners. Their understanding comes from a lineage of teachings passed down through generations, shaped by their teachers, mentors, and the direct guidance of the plant spirits of the Amazon. Maestro Reshin Nika offers specific instructions based on this lineage, and they are uniquely tailored to the master plant you will be working with.

Each plant has its own requirements—including the specific dietary restrictions that must be followed during your dieta. The food will be extremely simple: clean, bland, and minimal. This is not to deprive you, but rather to open your energetic body, making you more receptive to the plant’s teachings and healing.

Leading with Spirit

Your preparation for this retreat should be viewed through a spiritual lens. This is not just a physical cleanse—it’s a sacred quest for healing and transformation. The adjustments you’ll make to your diet and lifestyle are part of the sacrifice that this spiritual path requires.

In the Shipibo tradition, as in many indigenous cultures, the depth of your commitment—your willingness to sacrifice—directly influences the depth of your healing. The more you give to the process, the more you will receive in return, both during the retreat and throughout your integration afterward.

Maestro Reshin Nika will also provide you with post-retreat dieta instructions. These are a vital part of your integration and may continue for two weeks to a month after you return home. Disregarding these guidelines can disrupt your healing process and potentially make you ill. For this reason, it is essential to take the entire dieta—before, during, and after—seriously and with full commitment.

Spiritual Connection with the Plants

When you choose to enter the world of plant spirit medicine, you are entering into relationship with conscious, intelligent beings. Each plant and tree worked with in ceremony is considered a living spirit by the Shipibo. This worldview may feel unfamiliar at first, but many who walk this path come to understand and embrace it through direct experience.

Even if this belief system is new to you, let it serve as inspiration for honoring the dieta instructions. You are not just drinking tea—you are entering into a sacred partnership with the plant. This work is about listening, receiving, and being open to guidance beyond the rational mind.

Call on your inner strength, your spirit, ancestors, angels, higher self, God, the Universe—whatever you resonate with—to support you in honoring this commitment. The moment you choose this path, your connection with the Amazon and its healing energies begins. Let that connection guide you.
