Ayahuasca & Masterplant Retreat
Pre and Post Diet

There are some restrictions and recommendations in the time before and after the Ayahuasca Retreat or Masterplant Dieta. The time before you work with Ayahuasca or do a Masterplant Dieta is called Pre Dieta, and the time after a Post Dieta.

​

The information below I share to avoid physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual damage and health risks. 

​

 

Ayahuasca Diet & Preparation: Ayahuasca Dietary Restrictions

​

​

There are many different opinions about the pre-dieta. I suggest the safest option and the way that gives you the biggest opportunity to be open to receiving the plant energy. The plant works with us on very subtle layers mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and probably on more layers than we are aware of. 

 

Whether or not you feel like you can do a longer fast or a cleansing beforehand is up to you as an individual, and depends on your lifestyle. Taking your pre-dieta seriously could make your Ayahuasca experience and Masterplant Dieta stronger and deeper.

​

I also recommend not to fast in a too intense way. The fasting should be in a healthy manner.

 

In general, I recommend you arrive as pure as possible. This includes all of your habits and all of the things you consume and take in. I don't speak only about food and substances. I speak also about which books you are reading, which movies are you watching, what kind of communication you choose to have, and so forth. In general, be mindful about what you take into your system.

​

​

Preparation Guidelines for our Masterplant Retreats:

​​​

- Don´t have Sex (also no masturbation) for at least ten days before

- Don´t use chemical perfumed shampoo, body lotion, soap,..etc. at least one week before

- Don’t take any drugs (plants, chemicals, alcohol, etc.) for at least one month before

- Don´t do any other Sacred Plant Medicine for at least two weeks, better one month before

- Read the Medical Guidelines and in case you have questions let me know

​

IN CASE YOU USED OTHER SACRED PLANTS BEFORE OR ANY KIND OF DRUGS - PLEASE COMMUNICATE WITH ME BEFORE THE RETREAT.

​​​​

​

​Stop eating these foods at least one week before:

​

- spicy food

- red meat (no soup, no bouillon)

- raw fish

- salt, pepper

- fermented food

- dairy products (cheese, milk, butter)

- caffeine, stimulants

- energy drinks

- carbonated drinks

- sugar (fruits or a little honey is okay)

- cacao, coffee (be careful with strong plants)

- oil, no fat (Avocado not very fermented is okay)

- all kinds of strong plant remedies (always make sure with your doctor that stoping is fine)

- alcohol

​​

​​

Drugs / Substances:

​

Drugs, for example, cocaine/opiates/amphetamines/MDMA, etc. you have to cut out at least one month before. Certain chemical combinations can be very dangerous and even cause death. I can not accept you drinking medicine in our healing space if you don't respect that.

Also based on energetic and spiritual aspects, certain drugs cause disruptions and cross the energies of the plants, which can have strong effects on the space, every participant, the Maestra, me, and you, in case you do not respect that.

Please be honest with me if you did not follow these guidelines.

I don´t judge you, believe me, I have been there.

In case something happens, talk with me before the retreat starts so we can find a safe way.

In case you use marijuana regularly, it is best to stop one month before, at least stop 2 weeks before. If you don´t follow that guideline, this can cause energetic consequences in the cleaning and aligning process during the ceremony.

I´m happy to talk with you in person about that.  

​

Be aware if you like to do a SAMA, a tree diet and if you want to benefit longterm from that, then it is highly recommended not to use any Marihuana afterward and to use no other substances/drugs anymore.

If this is a topic for you, I´m happy to talk with you to share more in a 1:1 session.

​

​

Are you already a plant student?

Walking a path with plant teachers

​

If you work with other master plants / sacred plants / strong plant allies, I recommend that if you would like to connect to the world of the trees (doing a SAMA) put your other "plant friends" to the side at least 2 weeks before the Masterplant Retreat. Even much better 1 month ahead!

​

Choosing to participate in a Sama (plant diet) and connecting with the Energy of the Tree Medicine is a big commitment.

​

If you like to learn with a tree (doing a Dieta), it is highly recommended that you create as much free space as possible inside yourself. 

Also, every strong experience might need some space to integrate before using a new plant. To honor all the plant teachers you are working with create time and space before and after.

That way, you allow yourself to receive fully and to harvest afterwards fully.

​

A Masterplant Tree offers a whole complex world and even a universe. The longer and the more you will diet (learn and heal) with plants, the better you might at some point understand what I mean by saying that. 

​

The more you create space before, the more the tree can grow into your system (same for the integration time).

​

If you have a different feeling and you want to use other plants before the retreat, please have a personal talk with me and reach out.

There is no black and white. Right and wrong for everyone. What I share here is a general experience and includes what I´m learning with my Shipibo Maestros. Not everyone is on the same path, and we are all individual beings. I honor the path of everyone, and I don´t want someone to feel limited through my words. 

​

We can talk about anything in our 1:1 sessions before the retreat.

​

​

​​Post Ayahuasca Diet After Retreat

​

​

The length of the Post Dieta after drinking Ayahuasca (only Ayahuasca!) depends on how long your retreat was.

• After a 10/14 day retreat, it is good if you are careful with the same listed foods from the Pre Dieta for a few days

• Don't have sex for at least two weeks after a 10/14 day Ayahuasca Retreat.

• Red Meat and Raw Fish especially, should not be eaten for at least two weeks.

• In the Shipibo tradition, where I'm learning, they recommend in general not to eat pork ever again in your life. Minimum wait for one month.

• If you're using drugs (chemical or natural), be aware that they could cross energetically with your processes and the work that you did with Ayahuasca. The effect of the drugs can be very different afterward than it was before for you. Wait as long as possible before you start to take anything again. I strongly recommend waiting at least one month!​

• Using other psychoactive substances can be very confusing and disconnect you from Ayahuasca and the work you just did in the retreat. It can cause big disharmony in you. Don't risk that!

​

Of course, your post-diet needs to be approached individually. While it's your own responsibility, please reach out if you have any questions.

​

 

​

Post Diet after a Masterplant Dieta / Sama

​

If you are doing a Masterplant Dieta the Post Dieta is much more serious than a Post Dieta after drinking just Ayahuasca.

 

It’s very important to stick to the rules if you don't want to cross your Dieta. Crossing the diet means that energetically, your work from the diet is "not vibrating" in a harmonious, aligned way. This means that "the diet is not straight".

This could affect you mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and can influence the outcome of your inner work. Your life could get out of balance in many unseen and seen ways.​

Your healing process could get interrupted, and it could put you in unhealthy place in general.

 

The length and the rules depend on the Masterplant that you are dieting, and on the length of your Diet time. It is very important that we speak about the details after your diet. 

​

​

Post Master Plant Dieta & Restrictions

​​

Be very careful for at least 1-2 weeks with:

​

- frozen drinks and ice cream

- carbonated drinks

- coffee

​

Most of the time the Post-Dieta is at least 14 days, but it can be for up to a couple of months:

​

- no sex

- no red meat 

- no raw fish

​

 

At least for one month:

​

- no drugs

- no other Entheogenic Plants/Sacred Plant Medicine

- no pork: it depends with which plant you have dieted. My Shipibo Teacher say no pork for your whole life.

- no alcohol

​

​

​

Other Sacred Plants & Sama/Plant Dieta

Also, be aware that other Entheogens (Mushrooms, San Pedro/Huachuma, Peyote, etc.) will influence your work from the Masterplant Diet. We're all different and on a different personal journey, so there's no general rule for everyone. I just want to say be careful and really feel into it, or speak with someone experienced about it. You can feel free to each out and book a session with me as well. 

​

On the path with the plants, on the path of shamanism, it's all about learning to listen to spirit, being in connection with your own voice, learning to become more deeply connected to your intuition and the "Universe".

It's about building up a relationship and a dialogue between "you" and the "higher wisdom" that surrounds us.

​

There's never the same rule and guideline for everyone!!

And in the beginning, some guidance is helpful and can help you avoid hardships and suffering until you find more and more of your own true dialogue with all that is.

 

Crossing a Dieta can cause huge energetic disharmonies in all realms, that's why I highly recommend you stick to the "rules", if you don´t want to take extra risks. 

​

To decide to participate in the work with Sacred Plants means to commit to do the work, whatever may appear. So make sure that you feel ready.

​​

Of course, your post-diet needs to be approached individually, and is completely up to you. While it's your own responsibility, please reach out if you have any questions.

​

If you sign up for a Sama / Tree Medicine or Ayahuasca Retreat with us, you need to be committed to taking care of your Post Dieta.

​

This healing journey includes a committed Preparation time, the time during the retreat, and the commitment to take care of your Postdiet time and Integration.

​

We like to release limitations and fears, right?

Said that there are some important guidelines that are good to align with to have a safe experience for everyone.

I intend to create with you a healing and learning experience, where the whole group can feel safe.

​

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
