14-Day Master Plant Dieta & Healing Immersion — Costa Rica

EMBARK ON A TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY
In the lush rainforest of the Osa Peninsula, one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth.

Hosted at Templo del Tigre, the only center in Costa Rica offering authentic one-on-one Master Plant Dietas in the Amazonian Mamancunawa lineage — the path of sacred Tobacco (Mapacho) and tree medicines. Guided by experienced curanderos and tabaqueros trained in the Peruvian Amazon, this immersion invites deep healing, detoxification, and spiritual reconnection.

Discover the medicine of the forest. Reconnect with your body, mind, heart, and spirit.

THE POWER OF THE DIETA

* Isolated Master Plant Dietas are profoundly transformative — physically, emotionally, and spiritually
* The plants’ guidance can be subtle yet deep, supporting insight down to the cellular level
* By unplugging from everyday life, you create a sacred container of silence and inner listening
* Through ritual, solitude, and a simple plant-based diet, the plant becomes a teacher, offering clarity, emotional release, and spiritual insight

What is a Master Plant Dieta?
A dieta is a traditional Amazonian practice of guided isolation, simple nutrition, and ceremonial engagement with a master plant spirit. Through discipline, silence, and personalized guidance, the plant teaches insight, clarity, and energetic alignment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tobacco (Mapacho / Nicotiana rustica)

* Grounding, protective, and clarifying — psychoactive, not psychedelic
* Opens the dream world for lucid and symbolic insights
* Supports emotional release, detoxification, and energetic realignment
* Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners, including those seeking to ground and integrate previous work with Ayahuasca or San Pedro

"Tobacco is a plant that nourishes the spirits. When we take this plant, we nourish our mind in something that is neither of the body nor the psyche, but of a superior and transcendent instance — something of pure intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom." — Jacques Mabit

Other Master Plants

Alongside Tobacco, we also work with Amazonian tree medicines and master plants such as Bobinsana, Chuchuhuasi, Ajo Sacha, Abuta, Ayahuma, Bellaco Caspi, Chiric Sanango, and Tamamuri. In Amazonian tradition, these plants are revered as teachers and doctors, each carrying distinct healing qualities, guidance, and energetic influence. They are always approached with deep respect and ceremonial care.

* Individuals seeking healing from trauma, PTSD, burnout, depression, or addiction
* Those open to plant medicine but desiring a grounding, dream-guided, non-psychedelic approach
* Experienced practitioners seeking integration support after Ayahuasca or San Pedro

* Anyone called to reconnect with nature, themselves, and spiritual guidance
