About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

We invite you to a 10-day traditional Mapacho dieta, held in the woodland of Northern Spain - a sacred journey of protection, strength, and deep inner healing.


Mapacho, the Great Grandfather spirit, is the foundation of all plant medicine work. He teaches purification, boundaries, spiritual sovereignty, and the reclamation of authentic power. His medicine is especially potent for healing masculine wounding — within ourselves, our ancestral lines, and our collective stories.

In a private woodland sanctuary, nourished by streams and trees, you will step away from the outside world and into a deep cocoon of ceremony, silence, and transformation.


This journey includes:

• 3 traditional Ayahuasca ceremonies guided with Mapacho prayers and protection

• Flower baths and daily tobacco cleansing rituals

• Mapacho tea preparation and guided Rapéh medicine practices

• 1:1 healing sessions with our experienced shaman

• Psychedelic integration therapy with Rebecca, licensed psychotherapist and psychedelic integration specialist

• Learning of icaros (medicine songs)



This is a dieta in the traditional way — a time of isolation, deep self reflection, and creation of a life long relationship with the plant spirit.

With only 3 participants, this immersion offers profound individual attention, deep ceremonial space, and personal guidance throughout the process.


If you are called to strengthen your spiritual foundation, purify old patterns, and step into a new embodiment of your true self, Grandfather Mapacho awaits you.



Applications now open.
This dieta is by personal invitation to those ready for profound inner work. Read More
