This retreat is a traditional dieta, a diet with Las Plantas Maestras, the Sacred Plant teachers. ✨ It is a 10-day retreat that includes abstinence from the foods, habits, and trappings of our daily modern life. It is a time to be spent in solitude, simplicity, and inner silence partnered with the elegant cacophony of the jungle sounds and primordial life.

We have the option to commune with the healing Waters of the Ucayali river, which is the main head stream of the great Amazon River. We can bathe in the waters among waterfalls, Blue Morpho butterflies, and the abundant flora and fauna that is this magical cradle of life and breath. Here, the Plant teachers work their magic, healing our bodies and souls under the guidance of a Mestizo, lineage curandero, Don José Campos.

Now in his 60's, Don Jose Campos was taught by Don Solón Téllo Lozano, who was taught by Don José Chuqipiando of the Yagua tribe in Iquitos, Peru. Don Solón Tello was one of the first Mestizo Curanderos in Peru, who received the transmission of knowledge directly from the Yagua tribe and from the Sacred Plants. This Mestizo (mixed Spanish and Indigenous ancestors) lineage is the result of the generosity of the Indigenous elders who passed on the sacred knowledge that they held and guarded for centuries, even through a bloody history of colonization and genocide. It is important for us to honor this distinction as we appreciate the gift of these medicines that now come to us in these times when we most need their healing. Don José Campos is a trusted Maestro, whose life trajectory has changed the legal landscape in Latin America around indigenous sacred practices and lineage healing methodologies.
