Masterplant Retreats
What is a Master Plant Retreat?
We offer Ayahuasca Retreats and Plant Diets (Sama) with Tree Medicine.
Wholeheartedly, I offer these Sacred Plant Medicine work in collaboration with my well-known and respected Shipibo Maestros/Maestras in Peru. I´ve been learning with this Shipibo family since 2016.
This work is an opportunity for transformation -- to align, to heal, to learn, and to expand into living a more fulfilled life.
We offer both pure Shipibo Ayahuasca retreats and a Shipibo Plant Diet. A Shipibo Plant Diet is called in Shipibo "Sama".
There are different names used, so don´t get confused.
Should you choose an Ayahuasca Retreat or a Shipibo Plant Diet?
Learn about the difference between a pure Ayahuasca Retreat and a Shipibo Plant Diet (Sama) in the text below.
Also, if you are not sure yet if you feel ready to drink these strong plant medicines, you can first start working with me in 1:1 sessions online or in - person.
Shipibo Ayahuasca Retreat - working with ayahuasca for the first time?
Beginning with working with ayahuasca alone will give you an introduction into what it means to work with strong plants in the Shipibo tradition.
This way, you'll have the opportunity to build up a relationship with the subtle energies and the shamanic worlds, which can create more safety within you and can be a good learning experience on how to navigate your experience.
In general, I suggest people start with an Ayahuasca Retreat with us before committing to a Plant Diet (Sama).
Said that we are all different and there is no "one truth" around that topic for me.
Many people drink Ayahuasca for the first time with us and start directly with a Shipibo Plant Diet with magnificent results.
We will address that and talk about what feels right for you.
Here's a little metaphor to help you to imagine:
If you're traveling to the top of a mountain, you can hike to the top, or you can have a plane drop you. A plane might be faster, but if you hike (as a metaphor for starting with pure Ayahuasca), you may encounter aspects of life along your path on this mountain. You will see what is growing there, who is living there, sense and feel how it is to be walking, learn how to breathe when the terrain gets steep, and have conversations and interactions.
Throughout the entire journey, you're available to expand your awareness. When you arrive at the top of the mountain, you arrive more prepared and with more knowledge about where you are. You're already more connected to spirit, your orientation skills already have some training in this new world, and you can receive in a special way the things which are waiting there for you.
If you choose to do directly a Masterplant Diet, ask yourself why you wouldn’t prefer to take the path step by step. Check in with yourself, and ask where does this wish comes from? In the end, it depends on your commitment and your inner call. Listen deeply inside of yourself.
In case you're already on the path of working in the healing field, learning with a Tree and participating in a Sama can be very beneficial to make the next step towards a deeper healing and learning process.
Ayahuasca is an amazing door opener and has huge cleansing properties that help you to understand the unseen and the seen world, both internally and externally.
Beginning directly with a Master Plant Diet (Sama) could leave you feeling overloaded, and the integration could be more challenging.
My general recommendation is to walk the path with these Masterplants in the Shipibo Tradition step by step, instead of going straight into a Sama.
Some of the trees you can diet have strong healing energies. Depending on your intention, the trees can be a very good additional energy (force) to help your process.
It depends on where you are in life, how stable you are, what kind of holistic practice you have done before, and which integration skills you have available.
There is never one way that fits everyone. Listen to your heart, listen to your intuition, and feel free to reach out. I´m here to talk with you about different options to find out what feels true for you.
Guidelines for our Masterplant Retreats
Be aware that in our True-Journey Retreats, we have fasting periods and times of silence in order to connect more deeply with the Plant Energies.
For the cleansing and connecting process, fasting and silence are important practices.
If you choose to join our Retreats, please be aware that we offer them exclusively to individuals who intend to engage in deep learning and healing experiences.
You need to feel ready to face your inner healing processes and be able to sit with any emotions and experiences that arise for you.
Our Retreats are not offered to those who are only seeking a spiritual experience. You need to say “Yes” to all shadows, feelings, emotions, and patterns that wish to be felt and acknowledged by you.
The Facilitators will be there to support you in your process throughout the days and ceremonies.
Not sure if you’re ready?
That’s completely fine. You can send an email to True-Journey, and we will provide you with a questionnaire. After we received your response, we offer a free 20-minute call to see if our Retreats are a good fit for you.
