Preparation for Masterplant Work
Working with a Masterplant is a profound commitment — to yourself, to the medicine, and to the process of healing and learning. How you prepare in the time leading up to the retreat shapes the depth of what you can receive. The clearer and more open you arrive, the more space the plant has to work with you. Below you will find guidance on how to prepare body, mind, and spirit for this sacred work.
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 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: if you want to integrate and learn the true way with a Masterplant through Sama / Plant Dieta the real guideline is "don´t take any substances/drugs ever again"
-
no other Entheogenic Plants/Sacred Plant Medicine: please read more below
-
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.
Today we have many offers to learn in different traditons,learning about many ideas, various plant medicine are offered, chemical substances are used for therapie, all type of methods we can learn, different teachers are available and so on...
All of that can cause much confusion, this again can cause disharmonies and disturbances if we don´t know how to align and center our whole system.
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.
The deepest form of receiving from a Masterplant is to commit to grow and to commit to learn with the Sama Nete (World of the Teacher Plant) and all the teachings which unfold longtherm through life.
Many people commit to participate regulary over many years, this means they become a real student of the spirit.
This path needs commitment. That means that the post dieta needs to be taking quite strictly.
For other people it feels complete to participate in one or two dietas. That is totally good too and you can receive all you need in that. Some times someone just comes to heal or learn a certain thing.
Depending on the depth and length, the Post Dieta asks for different commitment in following certain guidelines.
Of course, your post-diet needs to be approached individually, and is completely up to you. You are the one who lives with the consequences.
While it's your own responsibility, please reach out if you have any questions. I offer online or in person guidance on this path.
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.
