Retreat Highlights
- About this retreat
- Medicinal Plant dietas is the relationship that serves as the connection between our inner selves and the plant journey spirits for the awareness of the soul.
- The interaction of Ayahuasca, San Pedro and the variety of medicinal plants also reveal insights about us and how much we need to know about ourselves. Like any relationship, Dietas often require effort and intentions, in order to work well.
- At Flower of Life Ayahuasca Healing Retreat Center, we work with several Master Medicinal Plants Dietas such as:
- Shiric Sanango
- Chuchuwasi
- Cat’s Claw
- Malva
- Bobinsana
- Ayahuma
- Piñón Blanco
- Achiote
- Ajo Sacha
- Noya Rao
- Tabacco
- Plant Dietas often teach discipline and spiritual growth.
- They often include intense fasting and consuming only one plant at a time with small portions of food.
- Dietas like this may last for days, weeks or months, and are commonly done in isolation in the environment where the plant is native.
- This journey is guided by the Maestros in preparation for ceremony, too.
- Dietas are designed to help clear the body of toxins, habits, heal energies, release egos, uplift the physical health and to prepare the body for medicine plant ceremonies.
