Places are limited and the program is offered only on selected dates. If you are new to ayahuasca, you may prefer to begin with our 10-day ayahuasca retreat in Ecuador<\/a>.<\/p>\n Length of stay:<\/strong> We refer to this as a one-month or 30-day dieta. The published 2027 dates cover 31 nights (32 calendar days, including arrival and departure)<\/strong>, encompassing the opening and closing ceremonies as well as the strict plant-dieta period. The exact start and course of the strict dieta are determined individually by the maestro.<\/p>\n On ceremonies shared with regular retreat participants, people undertaking the dieta receive priority for personal icaros. You may arrange with the team to attend only the part of the group ceremony dedicated to your individual work, maintaining a quiet distance from the wider group.<\/p>\n You can request a consultation with Maestro Sina whenever guidance is needed. Jan Rostlinka provides translation and practical support and has worked with traditional dietas in this lineage for more than 15 years.<\/p>\n In the Shipibo tradition, a dieta is more than a change of diet. It is a way of developing a relationship with a particular plant, traditionally regarded as a living teacher. People may notice its influence in dreams, emotions, memories, and bodily sensations.<\/p>\n Each experience is individual; no particular vision, healing outcome, or transformation can be promised. Respect for traditional guidance and openness to whatever arises are more important than pursuing a predetermined result.<\/p>\n For a first dieta with Maestro Sina, the plant is generally pi\u00f1\u00f3n colorado<\/strong>, also known as huiso pionis<\/em>. The maestro assesses whether it is suitable and determines its preparation, timing, and amount. Participants must never prepare or take it independently.<\/p>\n In Maestro Sina’s tradition, pi\u00f1\u00f3n colorado is regarded as a powerful cleansing plant that can prepare a person for further work. Some especially demanding plants, such as ayahuma<\/em>, chiric sanango<\/em>, or to\u00e9<\/em>, are not offered as a first dieta. We approach more advanced dietas gradually, according to experience and the maestro’s individual guidance.<\/p>\n Subject to availability and individual arrangements, you may stay in a secluded rainforest cabin or a private room in one of the cabins at the center. Both options offer privacy and a quiet environment. We provide dieta participants with a barrel of purified drinking water and a private dry toilet. Flush toilets and hot showers are also available in the central facilities.<\/p>\n Phone and outside contact:<\/strong> For the first six days after the strict dieta begins<\/strong>, your phone must remain switched off. The only exception is recording icaros and listening to those recordings privately outside ceremonies. Calls, messages, social media, browsing, and other apps are not permitted under this exception. For the rest of the dieta, keep outside communication and phone use to a minimum. You can always contact our team when you need assistance.<\/p>\n Dieta meals are prepared separately and delivered to your accommodation. The food is intentionally plain: no salt, sweet or sour foods, spices, alcohol, or stimulating seasonings. Fruit is not allowed. Vegetables are excluded during the strict dieta, with one exception: lettuce is permitted only in the final part of the strict dieta<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Meals may include oats, rice, boiled or roasted green plantain, lentils, beans, quinoa, pasta, or couscous. Fish or lean chicken may be arranged individually only when permitted under the maestro’s instructions for the specific dieta.<\/p>\n During the dieta, you may take quiet walks or meditate in the surrounding rainforest, near large trees or the Piat\u00faa River. The natural environment is an integral part of the space in which the dieta takes place.<\/p>\n Not every day brings powerful experiences. Sometimes very little seems to happen, and you may encounter boredom, restlessness, doubt, or the desire to fill the quiet with distractions. In the traditional dieta, even these days are considered part of the learning.<\/p>\n According to the traditional understanding, the plant does not always work dramatically. The aim is not to force an experience or escape everyday life, but to listen patiently and allow the process to unfold.<\/p>\n This program is intended for people who want to explore Amazonian plant traditions more deeply and are prepared for solitude, simplicity, and the discipline of a traditional dieta. It is not a pursuit of intense experiences or merely a longer version of an ordinary ayahuasca retreat.<\/p>\n Previous experience with ayahuasca and our regular 10-day retreat<\/a> is helpful but not required. It offers a chance to become familiar with the center, Maestro Sina, and our team before committing to a month-long program.<\/p>\n The dieta is not suitable for people in an acute psychological crisis, with psychosis, schizophrenia, mania, untreated bipolar disorder, serious suicidal states, or conditions in which isolation and intensive ceremonial work could worsen mental health.<\/p>\n It is also unsuitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with serious heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe addiction, a serious eating disorder, or another condition that may make restricted food, isolation, or ceremonies unsafe. Certain medicines and supplements may be incompatible with ayahuasca or the program. Every applicant must complete health screening and disclose relevant conditions, medicines, and supplements. We may decline an application if the program is not appropriate.<\/p>\n For more information, see our health and safety requirements<\/a>.<\/p>\n Undertaking a month-long dieta is a serious, voluntary commitment that deserves careful consideration. A participant may leave the program early, including for personal or health reasons. Please tell the team so that the departure and closing process can be handled appropriately. Our team can help coordinate a safe departure.<\/p>\n We currently list the following Shipibo master plant dieta dates with Maestro Sina:<\/p>\n To apply, complete the Feather Crown registration and health-screening form<\/a> and select the traditional 30-day dieta. Small adjustments to dates or duration can sometimes be discussed individually with Jan Rostlinka. You can also request a call<\/a> or contact Jan through WhatsApp<\/a>.<\/p>\n
