What is a Plant Dieta?

A plant dieta is a traditional Amazonian practice where one commits to working with a specific master plant consciousness for a period of time, while following a simplified, monastic lifestyle to increase sensitivity and subtle awareness. This sensitivity allows the nuances of teachings and healings from the plant spirit to be felt, heard, experienced to a greater degree. Different plants work on different aspects of our pain bodies, darkness, shadow, and unconsciousness to bring in the light of creation for recalibration, healing and support. Plant diets allow us to commune with a plant spirit and create allyship with that consciousness for support on all levels of our being.

How do Plant Dietas Work?

Plant Dieta is an energetic technology rooted in thousands of years of shipibo tradition. They require an initiated and experienced shamanic practitioner to open the dieta container through ikaros transmissions (a plant language), and they require a closing as well.

During the time that your dieta is “open”, there is regular consumption of the plant (via tincture, tea, inhalation, topical, sprays), and an overall focus toward the plant, and it’s teachings. Outside of a dieta, consuming the plant does not entail a dieta. The technology of dieta is an energetic technology. Consuming the plant supports and strengthens that through ingesting it.

While your dieta is open, your energy field is open, sensitive, and receptive to the teachings of the plants to a greater degree than when your dieta is closed, as well as the rest of the world. The dieta works on the physical, emotional, spiritual, and energy realm to heal, restore, renew, transmute what is needed for the individual, in their own unique way. Each plant has common healing themes it tends to bring up, though each dieta is unique to the dietero involved.

How can a Plant Dieta benefit me?

For those seeking healing, plant dietas accelerate deep healing experiences, uncovering nuanced root causes that modern therapies may never access—or may take far longer to reveal. Just as a single plant medicine ceremony can achieve in one weekend what therapy might take ten years to uncover, plant dietas can similarly fast-track one’s awakening and healing in profound ways.

For healers and practitioners, plant dietas significantly expand one’s medicine bundle and capacity as a lightworker. Working with plant spirit allies strengthens and enhances the healing work you do. Many of our students have reported that psychics and intuitives can actually perceive the presence of the plants surrounding them post-dieta—revealing that these spirits remain as lifelong allies and energetic supports long after the dieta has ended.

Duration and Timing

Traditional dietas can range from a few weeks to several months. When working individually, the length of your dieta is determined by your maestro or maestra, based on your specific needs and the plants you are working with.

At Earth Temple, we offer 8-day retreat dietas and 6-week remote dietas as our standard formats, with slight variations on a case-by-case basis. Students who wish to extend their dieta typically have more experience and require less direct support from a maestra to do so.

Remote Dieta vs In-Person Retreat Dieta

Understanding the Differences

Both Remote Dietas and In-Person Retreat Dietas offer profound opportunities for healing, communion with plant spirits, and deep inner work.

Doing Dieta at an Ayahuasca Retreat

An in-person dieta closely follows the traditional structure of dieta as practiced in the jungle. The Ayahuasca ceremonies allow the dietero to become highly perceptive of the plant ally they are dieting, deepening the diet profoundly. The retreat provides a fully immersive environment, away from the distractions of daily life, where participants can drop into deep stillness, isolation, and healing with the direct guidance of a maestra or maestro.

Held in a retreat setting, often in nature, where the environment is intentionally curated for dieta protocols. You don’t have to create the environment yourself.
Deepening through Ayahuasca ceremonies—this amplifies and accelerates your dieta experiences, healings, and insights.
Limited external stimulation is already set up—the environment prevents consumption of media, outside distractions, outside interactions
The food dieta protocol is handled for you — meals provided are already dieta friendly
Strong energetic field created by being in a shared container with others on the same journey.
Facilitator involvement is more intimate and direct— In-person ceremonial work and ongoing check-ins with your maestra/maestro make for a more intimate dieta experience.
Faster and deeper immersion—by stepping out of normal life, participants surrender more fully to the dieta process.

Remote Dieta

A remote dieta allows participants to engage in dieta while continuing to live in their daily environments, offering more accessibility to the healing work, as well as the flexibility while still requiring strong commitment and discipline.

Offers a longer-term experience, often spanning several weeks to months, similar to the traditional way in the jungle — which allows for a slow and steady unfolding of a beautiful journey
Integration happens in real-time, allowing students to apply insights and healing directly to their daily lives. Life will naturally bring stuff up, and that becomes the juicy working material of your dieta.
More accessible than a retreat — for students wanting to grow their healing and medicine more often.
Frequent and remote facilitation twice a week for 2 hours — for ikaros transmissions, guidance, check-ins, sharing, and support
Dietary and lifestyle protocols are self-managed, with guidance provided remotely by facilitators.
Ongoing interaction with the external world, requiring a balance between dieta practices and daily responsibilities, requiring some modifications to your regular routine and habits.

Both paths offer powerful transformation—what matters most is the level of commitment you bring to the dieta process. The deeper you surrender, the more the plant spirits can work with you.
