About this Retreat
Gwendal is a traditional healer, initiated as a Curandero and Tabaquero, with over 13 years of experience working with the sacred plant medicines of the Amazon. His journey began with a transformative encounter with a tobacco shaman in Vanuatu, which led him to apprentice under Maestra Olivia Arevalo (Shipibo lineage) and later deepen his training with Maestro Ernesto Garcia Torres (Mamancunawa lineage).
In addition to his plant medicine work, Gwendal is a dedicated Ashtanga yoga practitioner, trained under Danny Paradise and refined in India and Indonesia. He also integrates sound healing—blending Mongolian throat singing and shamanic drumming—to enhance the energetic process of transformation.
Gwendal’s spiritual journey continues to deepen through his connection to plants, the Earth, and ancestral teachings. He is devoted to honoring the sacred wisdom of plant medicines and offering their transformative power to others.
Negar is a dedicated healer with over 15 years of experience, integrating sacred plant medicine, bodywork therapies, and yoga for holistic wellness. She has undergone apprenticeship and works with Amazonian sacred tobacco (Mapacho) and Trees under the esteemed curandero Maestro Ernesto Garcia Torres in the Peruvian Amazon, and has been initiated into the Mamancunawa lineage as a Curandera/Tabaquera.
Negar combines this ancestral plant medicine work with Chi Nei Tsang and Maya Abdominal Massage, women’s wellness practices, yoga, and sound healing—including gong meditations and vibrational therapies—to support profound physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation.

THE POWER OF THE DIETA
*Isolated Master Plant Dietas are profoundly transformative — physically, emotionally, and spiritually
*The plants’ guidance can be subtle yet deep, supporting insight and awareness at profound levels
*By unplugging from everyday life, you create a sacred container of silence and inner listening
*Through ritual, solitude, and a simple plant-based diet, the plant becomes a teacher, offering clarity, emotional release, and spiritual insight
What is a Master Plant Dieta?
A dieta is a traditional Amazonian practice of guided isolation, simple nutrition, and ceremonial engagement with a master plant spirit. Through discipline, silence, and personalized guidance, the plant teaches insight, clarity, and energetic alignment.
Traditionally, a Master Plant Dieta involves 7 days and 7 nights of working with one master plant, followed by the closing of the dieta on the morning of the 8th day.
Tobacco (Mapacho / Nicotiana rustica)
*Grounding, protective, and clarifying — psychoactive, not psychedelic
*Opens the dream world for lucid and symbolic insights
*Supports emotional release, detoxification, and energetic realignment
*Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners, including those seeking to ground and integrate previous work with Ayahuasca or San Pedro
"Tobacco is a plant that nourishes the spirits. When we take this plant, we nourish our mind in something that is neither of the body nor the psyche, but of a superior and transcendent instance — something of pure intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom."
— Jacques Mabit
Other Master Plants
Alongside Tobacco, we also work with Amazonian tree medicines and master plants such as Bobinsana, Chuchuhuasi, Ajo Sacha, Abuta, Ayahuma, Bellaco Caspi, Chiric Sanango, and Tamamuri.
In Amazonian tradition, these plants are revered as teachers and doctors, each carrying distinct healing qualities, guidance, and energetic influence. They are always approached with deep respect and ceremonial care.

*Individuals seeking healing, transformation, and reconnection
*Those seeking a grounding, non-psychedelic, dream-guided alternative to ayahuasca retreats
*Experienced practitioners seeking integration support after Ayahuasca or San Pedro
