Your transformational journey is not isolated; it's a continuous, community supported process.
Before participating in Ayahuasca ceremonies, it's essential to prepare both physically and mentally through a process known as the "dieta."
The dieta involves following a specific dietary regimen and engaging in cleansing practices to optimize the effectiveness of the Ayahuasca experience.
While the details of the dieta may vary depending on individual circumstances and the guidance of the shaman or facilitator, here are some general principles to consider:
Healthy Eating: Participants are typically advised to follow a clean and healthy diet, consisting of whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and lean proteins. Processed foods, refined sugars, caffeine, and alcohol are usually avoided.
Avoidance of Certain Foods: Specific foods and substances are often prohibited during the dieta, as they may interfere with the effects of Ayahuasca or pose potential risks to participants. These may include spicy foods, fermented foods, dairy products, red meat, and certain medications or supplements.
Cleansing Practices: Some traditions recommend additional cleansing practices during the dieta, such as fasting, juicing, or consuming purgative herbs. These practices are intended to purify the body and prepare it for the healing work of Ayahuasca.
Mindfulness and Intention Setting: Beyond dietary restrictions, participants are encouraged to cultivate a mindset of mindfulness and intention setting during the dieta. This may involve meditation, prayer, journaling, or other reflective practices to prepare mentally and emotionally for the Ayahuasca experience.
To ensure the safety and effectiveness of the Ayahuasca experience, we require full transparency regarding any prescription drugs or medications you may be taking.
Some medications are not compatible with the potent effects of Ayahuasca and may pose risks to your health.
Our experienced team of healers and facilitators will conduct a thorough assessment of your health history and medication regimen to ensure your safety during the retreat.
Your well-being is our top priority, and we are committed to providing a supportive and nurturing environment for your transformative journey with Ayahuasca.
Specific details and personalized guidance for the dieta will be provided to participants upon signing up for the retreat.
Our experienced team of Healers and Facilitators will offer comprehensive support and assistance throughout the preparation process, ensuring that you feel fully prepared and supported for your journey.
