7-Day Master Plant Diet Retreat in the Amazon
A traditional learning diet guided by native shamans, designed for those beginning their journey into the sacred path of plant medicine.
What Is a 7-Day Master Plant Diet?
A 7-day master plant diet retreat is the first step into Amazonian plant medicine for many people who feel the call to learn and go deeper. This powerful dieta is guided by the spirit of the plant—often Bobinsana—and offers a unique opportunity to begin the path of shamanic learning in a safe, silent, and traditional setting.
It is a time of silence, isolation, and deep listening—guided not only by the shamans, but by the spirit of the plant itself.
Who Is This Retreat For?
This retreat is intended for:
- Those who have completed a 5-day or 8-day retreat and feel ready for deeper learning through a 7-day master plant diet retreat.
- People called to a specific plant through ceremony, dreams, or inner guidance, which might lead them to a plant dieta retreat.
- Individuals who wish to begin walking the path of plant medicine with integrity and discipline.
Important: We strongly recommend attending at least one of our shorter retreats before starting a diet. This allows the shamans to assess your energetic readiness and begin forming the bond necessary for guiding your process.
Shamanic Guidance and Apprenticeship
In Amazonian tradition, learning diets mark the beginning of a relationship between the apprentice and the master plant—but also between apprentice and shaman. Before the diet begins, the shaman communicates with the plant spirit to understand how the process will unfold for you.
This sacred bond is foundational for future steps on the medicine path. The shaman does not give diets lightly—they must feel your sincerity, commitment, and capacity to hold this responsibility.
Why Bobinsana Is Recommended for First Diets
Bobinsana (Calliandra angustifolia) is known as a gentle, loving teacher plant. It opens the heart, strengthens the mind, and helps heal grief and emotional wounds.
Many shamans recommend beginning your diet journey with Bobinsana because of her patience, sweetness, and ability to guide with compassion. She teaches through dreams and emotions, making her ideal for those entering the diet tradition for the first time in a 7-day master plant diet retreat.

A Sacred Commitment to Yourself and the Plant
A 7-day diet is often the first initiation into the shamanic path. Whether you’re seeking healing or beginning your learning, the retreat requires humility, respect, and dedication.
We only accept participants who have previously worked with our team through a shorter retreat. This ensures that your process is fully supported and that the diet is aligned with your unique path.
