PREPARATION TO THE EXPERIENCE

Before delving into the spiritual healing segment which might involve master plants or Ayahuasca, the place of spiritual preparation cannot be overlooked. All our Ayahuasca retreat programs involve complete spiritual preparation.
Upon making and receiving of your bookings, we would provide you with a health questionnaire, of which you will fill every information where necessary, and you send back upon filling. This is done in a bid to check with you to know if you will be fit to participate in the Ayahuasca spiritual retreat. And get your desires and intentions prepared.

Once here at Sanken Nete, our family and staff will be there to give you a warm welcome, help get you settled in your room and make available all our facilities as a touching tour. Upon you been properly settled, you will be invited for the first meeting where the introduction and briefing of the journey ahead would be done. Afterward, it would be asked the last time from you to fill a questionnaire that would be used to collect information as touching your physical, psychological and spiritual antecedents. You would be asked to sign waivers, which would be useful in relating with us the fact that you have revealed the truth as touching your health, and also that you fully notified on your engagement in the drinking of the Ayahuasca, which has been legally permitted in Peru law.
MEETING WITH ELISA: SETTING THE INTENTION
The next step is meeting with Elisa or other Maestro to prepare for the ceremony. When necessary, Elisa will be fully assisted by an experienced facilitator acting as a translot. During this session, you will discuss your intention and help set a direction to your journey, also, you will be assigned a specific master plant dieta. Furthermore, we would also be offering a workbook guide and/or the book for diet training, which you will get to know how to identify your healing intentions and the things needed to transit through your spiritual journey.
The “dieta”” the foundation of the Shipibo Shamanistic healing path
“Dieta” (dieting) is a practice that could be traced thousands of years back among the Shipibo people. The diet is made and expected to perform healing, learning on how to heal, learning about our world and even ourselves. The combination of Ayahuasca and the “plantas maestros” is the basis of the Shipibo’ shamanistic training. The practice has been under use for more than 2000 years, and up till the recent time, it is yet to be found wanting in the basin of Amazon. The teacher’s plants are those we referred to as master plants. This is linked to the function they perform in teaching us about the world, ourselves and even the world that hosts the spirits. Of much importance to the Shipibo medical practice of shamanism is the talk around being spirits, teachers, and doctors. These plants carry potent capacity and powerful spirit that arouse total desire to working and learning and drawing from the elders’ wealth of knowledge in the course of the dieting process. During the period when this dieting of the master plants is still going there are some things, we abstain from such as sugars, oils, salts, pork, red meat, process foods, medications, masturbation, sex, drugs, and spices. The dieta process, however, is more complex and highly magical that just the restriction of meals which is just one out of many important aspects of the dieta process. Moreover, in the course, we maintain a simple but rich meal which permits us to take food like grains, legumes; vegetables; chicken; meat plantains and banana; fruits and fish. This we do twice a day.
Master Plants
In shamanism of the Shipibo people, the healer’s or what they call curandero’s ‘diagnose’ and your health conditions are determinants of the plant you would mix with Ayahuasca. We employ the meals we take in a bid to purify ourselves, and to ensure what we are ingesting is also capable of checking us the better all round. This process involves great devotion and healing processes that draw premises from strength, motivation, and a lot of determination. In a bid to respect the spirit of the plant (master of the plants) we become highly obedient and humble with the mindset of using the plant and also drawing from the wealth of knowledge and wisdom of the plants. The period under which we are given to these dieta processes, there is always a place of unveiling of the veil that has been used to cover the realities, hence, moving to the world of power, information, insights, healing, energy, and wisdom about other worlds and the residing spirits there-in. In attuning to the energies resident in reality and also establishing a connection with reality, we employ dreams, meditation, songs, and visions.
