The dieta
The dieta is a traditional way to access the knowledge of the Amazonic plants, used by the Amazonian healers.
According to the tradition, the dieta helps us to connect with the spirit of the plants and to access to their knowledge.
During the dieta, it’s important to be in total isolation, avoiding external contact, to help and improve the process of self reflection and healing.
During the retreat, it is important to follow a strict diet (no salt, no sugar, no fruits, no fat, no oil, no spices) with a daily consumption of the plant medicine in order to improve the dreaming state.
Purgative plants are used to open the dieta to clean the body and as a `hysical and emotional desintoxication.
This experience help us to understand ourself, our existence, the nature, the universe and life.
A minimum time of dieta is 10 days, to feel the effects but it can be longer depending on the person, up to 4 weeks
We open and close the dieta with an Ayahuasca ceremony, and we'll have ceremonies every 3 days during the dieta, but these ceremonies are optional, and can be included or not in the dieta.

The Ayahuasca brew
Ayahuasca is a psychoactiv brew prepared with ayahuasca liana peaces(Banisteriopsis Caapi) and chacruna( Psychotria Viridis) or oco yajé( Dylopteris cabrerana) leaves .
In Quechua, “aya” means soul, and “huasca” means rope.
In an etymological point of view, ayahuasca means « the souls rope »
Ayahusca and chacruna are considered by the majority of amazonian tribes as the best known « teacher plants » of the jungle.
The brew made by the combination of those two plants is used by native healer in this region for centuries, and make part of the traditional pharmacopoeia and culture of this peoples.
In the traditional context, those plants are used in a ritual way to amplify our perception and understanding capacities, to resolve personal and collective problems, , to look for happiness , to heal, to communicate with spirits or other dimensions entities, to make astral journey and to receive knowledge.
Preparation :
The liana peaces are braked with a peace of wood, and are mixed with chacruna leaves, or with huambisa leaves (dilopterys cabrerana).
In our comunity, we use the huambisa leaves.
Then, you need to boiled hours the preparation, until you obtain the good concentration.
The liquid you get is brown, more or less thick, depends on the concentration.
The total process requires 10 to 12 hours to reduce 100 liters of preparation down to only 2 liters .
The
sacred plants use allows to modify our ordinary state of consciousness,
in order to explore different aspects of our personal or collective
unconscious, and different capacities unknown from our mind.
The ritual ayahuasca ingestion produces a deep action on body, feelings, mind and spirit.
Ayahuasca is also called « la purga », because of its purgatives effects. Therefore, the substance goes all over the body and detects physical, emotional, and spiritual problems, and acts with a strong cleaning and purifying effect, that can lead to vomits and diarrea.
It allows the person to release emotional blocks, to face and go beyond his fears, to ressource at energetic level and to have a deeper conscious of our personality.
