WE ARE PLACING MORE AND MORE EMPHASIS UPON TIME IN DIETA, AND CARETAKING THIS SPACE FOR OTHERS TO RECEIVE THE BENEFITS OF THIS PRACTICE INTO THE LIFE
Dieta is a core component of how we learn and heal in the Amazonian healing tradition of Peru. It has been honoured for as long as millennia as sacred time to come into deep contact with our essential nature, the essence of nature, and the essence of a specific plant teacher.
Key plants for us are Bobinsana, Chuchuasi, Ubos, Castano, Tobacco and a few others.
Dieta is a potent time of clarification and purification and is considered to be one of the most direct and beneficial way to learn and to heal.
As dieta has been a major part of my life for more than 15 years, in the spirit of love and service, I have decided to dedicate myself to help bridge and open this space for others, so that they may also learn from this method, and receive all of its benefits in their lives.
This is a time of deep learning and healing, time agreed to be under the guidance of a plant teacher and opened and held by a maestro of this path, in this case, myself, under the guidance of Alonso del Rio.
I will be helping to facilitate 2 dietas a year from now on.
Dieta is a big step to make, I understand this, and will support all steps of your journey from preparation to integration, to the best of my ability.
The majority of the funds given in exchange for this dieta will go to supporting various projects in Peru, including an Amazonian conservation area ( where the master plant teachers are grown and harvested ), and an intercultural school that provides Waldorf inspired education for local children.
There is more to share, but for this DIETA HOME PAGE, this will do.

I joined the September dieta. I cannot put into words how it impacted my life and the amazing amount of change that has taken place since I left Peru. Integration is huge so I'm learning to implement everything I learned about myself into my daily life and I will be flying back to Peru for my next dieta in a few short months. Thank you Alonso and Gareth!
I participated in a 10-day Dieta with Gareth and Alonso. I had been called to sit with the Master Plant, Tobacco, so chose to do this in the Sacred Valley. I am a reasonably experienced plant medicine person and the experience in this Dieta was on one of the most profound I have ever had. Super challenging but extremely well supported during the ceremonies and with the Master Plant. I now can see the immense benefit this process has had for me in overcoming deep seated fears and establishing a clear vision for who I want to be so as to be in full service to community and humanity. My field is AI and technology and there is no more pressing time to be able to be of service - now supported by Master Plant ally - Tobacco. I cannot speak more highly of the experience I had.

Choosing the place where to sit with Medicine and who to do dieta with is extremely important to me, and I do not take that lightly. I have done several Dietas now with Gareth and Alonso, and this is the only place I choose to continue to do dietas at for a good reason. From the application and preparation, throughout the whole dieta process and after, you will feel supported. The safety, integrity and purity of the container that Gareth and Alonso provide to the organization and support throughout the process is truly felt. I have deep respect, trust and gratitude for Gareth and Alonso, and so much appreciation for the guidance and teachings they provide. Being able to do dieta with Gareth and Alonso is truly a blessing, and I am grateful to be able to do this. Thank you 🙏🏻 Angela
