Shamanism teaches us that nature is intelligent and that we humans make up a small part of the living ecosystem of our beautiful Mother Earth. The plants are older and wiser than we are. They are the ones that hold powerful medicine to help us heal in body, mind, and spirit.

A dieta workshop is the process of creating a healing relationship with the spirit of a master teacher plant. We make this connection by drinking the tea of the plant to introduce the chemistry into our physical body.

We also allow ourselves the time and space to enter into a state of mindfulness. We set the intention to start living consciously and presently. We learn to use the traditional dieta tools from the indigenous tribes of the Amazon Rainforest to connect to nature and the infinite wisdom that is always available within the sacred dieta workshop space.

We call the spirit of the master teacher plant into our body, into our mind, and into our heart. The plant responds, delighted to be asked to impart its healing medicines.

Sometimes we struggle in dieta as we release painful trauma, hurtful belief patterns, or Ego’s grip on unhealthy identity. Sometimes, there is pain as past wounds leave the body. But the plants know how to remove these with grace.

Then, it becomes easier to live in the flow of our soul’s unique divine path and by the guidance of our inner knowing. We cultivate our relationship with the plant, and our inner ear opens to the teachings of the spirit of the plant, and our life begins to heal. We drop what doesn’t serve us and step into a more empowered version of ourselves.
