About this Retreat
Terri is a traditionally-trained tabaquera-curandera (plant medicine healer) based in Iquitos, Peru who specializes in tobacco and other medicinal master plants in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru. Terri works with not only tobacco but many other medicinal plants and trees. The curandera acts as a guide who bridges the gap between the plant spirits and the individual receiving the medicine to ensure safety and healing. Terri has spent over 12 years in the Peruvian Amazon, walking the path to her own healing, training and living amongst her teachers.
The constructs of most modern societies cause mental illnesses — programming and conditioning of the mind with beliefs that are limited and untrue about what it is to be human. This causes mental and physical illnesses. Under the guidance of a tabaquera-curandera, tobacco and the medicinal plants get to the root of the illness, bringing understanding and harmony, undoing the conditioning and programming, lifting the veil of illusion so you can see who you truly are as a human being.
Terri offers Master Plant Dietas (traditional healing & learning diets) with tobacco and other medicinal plants/trees as well as tobacco ceremonies all year long. The dieta work is performed one-on-one, in solitude, each day the liquid medicinal preparation is consumed. Diets are 7 days and are a deep process of healing and learning. Ceremonial work is done either one-on-one or in small groups. When not traveling giving medicine in other locations, diets and ceremonies take place at her location in Iquitos, Peru. Please message for a free consultation and application.
May all beings live in peace, freedom and happiness. The work done with the plants opens the doorway to light, peace, happiness. You are invited to explore the extraordinary healing powers of tobacco curanderismo.
Details of this retreat
The power of the tobacco plant lies in its extraordinary ability to target the spiritual-energetic dimension. All illnesses first arise in the spiritual body, then in the energetic body, which then manifest in the physical body. Tobacco removes energetic pollutants from the system, which increases the flow of energy in the body, which in turn improves health of body and mind.
Amazonian Tobacco is a very strong purgative, known as La Medicina Rey (King Medicine) here in the jungle. It is a powerful purifier and liberator of negative energies in the mind, guiding one towards the path of light. Tobacco opens the doorway in the mind to receive information and understandings.
A diet (dieta) with tobacco and/or other master plants under a curandera is the typical Amazonian traditional form of healing and learning. It's a very powerful process of deep healing, cleansing, purification and learning. Diets are 7 days of daily ingestion of the plant preparation (in liquid form) during which there is a strict dietary food intake and limited social interaction and certain restrictions after the diet.
The dieter consumes a liquid preparation made from the plant every day for 7 days bringing the plant’s spirit, energy and knowledge into your body to cleanse, purify, liberate and teach. It is a time of going inward with the plants, a deep process where you will need your own space to process the cleansing and information. Dieting plants creates a union between you and the plant where it will continue to guide and teach and bring profound understanding in ones' life.
Dieting master plants is, whether it tobacco and/or the trees is a means of healing, learning and awakening to who you are, to truth and connecting with source.
Each individual will have an initial, private consult over the phone upon booking and an additional diagnostic consult upon arrival.
Diets held by Terri Newman, traditionally-trained tabaquera-curandera (plant medicine healer).
As a tabaquera-curandera, I not only work with the tobacco plant, but various other medicinal plants that all work with tobacco whether one has tobacco in their medicinal preparation or not. Other medicinal plants may be prescribed for different situations, which will be discussed in the diagnosis. Diets are 7 days/7 nights ingesting the plants daily and consuming food that contains no salt, sugars or oils. A diet with Amazonian Tobacco (Nicotiana Rustica) and/or any of the medicinal plants are liquid preparations that are ingested. Smoking is not required.
