Located in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest, this ayahuasca shamanic training seek to preserve and spread the knowledge of the shipibo cultures of Peru.

This training is a shorter version of an ancestral initiation, teaching the basic principles that form the heart of the ayahuasca tradition in Peru. The training is includes how to hold space, how to protect yourself an others, how to navigate in the realms of the medicine, how to perform spiritual surgery and so much more you will learn from the plants. You will live in a cabana on the site of the maloka all food is provided. If you feel called to learn the ancient healing traditions of ayahuasca and plant medicine, this training is a perfect place to begin. Even if you are already on the path to become a healer, the initiation course offers a chance to fully immerse yourself in the Shipibo culture and the world of plant spirit healing.

Plant dietas are the main focus of the training, because they are a main part of curandero training.  It is through dietas that students can become curanderos, and how curanderos become true maestros. The training provides students with a deep understanding of how to maximze the effects of dietas, how to connect deeper to the plant spirits, and how to maintain and continue their dietas after the training.  During the our eight week program, students do 2-5 dietas with master plants: Noya Rao, Bobinsana, Chiric Sanango, Marusa, and Chullachaqui, Ayahuma, RENAQUILLA, PIÑON COLORADO, NIWE RAO. If you have a plant that is calling you ask us about it we have many plants that we cant list them all.  The plants are incredibly special teachers and tremendously powerful healers. The chance to diet with Noya Rao, is incredibly rare and a true honor for every student who attends the training.  The potential depth that can be achieved when the dietas are combined with thorough teachings and explanations of the process is amazing.

Students learn how to continue their dietas after the course, as well, which enables the insights and lessons learned to deepen and develop further.  Each student is encouraged to continue dieting and to return to diet the plants they didn’t diet during the course.  The path of a curandero never ends, but with a solid foundation of understanding the principles of the tradition, the journey can be more fulfilling and beneficial with each step forward on that path. Learning how best to do plant dietas is a central part of the foundation upon which the healing tradition of curanderismo is built. The Shamanic course provides a rare and incredible opportunity to do powerful plant dietas and learn from a 7th generational Shipibo lineage.
