Don Winister began his journey with Ayahuasca at just nine years old, following in his father’s footsteps. As he grew older, he temporarily paused his training to focus on academics and complete his mandatory military service. At the age of 21, he returned to plant medicine and has remained devoted to his path ever since. Now, at 60 years old, Don Winister has led thousands of ceremonies. Additionally, he has completed over two years of strict dieta, deepening his knowledge of medicinal plants. As a result, he is able to treat a wide range of emotional, physical, and spiritual conditions. With every ceremony, he continues his family’s legacy of healing and service.
Junior began working with plant medicine at 14, drinking Ayahuasca under the guidance of his father and grandfather. However, he later pursued studies and work outside the jungle before returning to the medicine path in 2021. That year, he undertook his first three-month dieta in isolation, receiving careful guidance from Don Winister (his father) and Maestro Romulo (his grand father).
For the past four years, he has been relentlessy working to better his knowledge and connection with the medicine, so he can offer the best support and healing to everyone that comes at the center. Junior's medicine is heartlead and heartfelt.
Details of this retreat
At Yachay Wasi, our Master Plant Dietas invite you into a deeper, quieter space — a sacred container where the healing power of Amazonian plants reveals itself gently, over time. Rooted in the ancestral traditions of our family lineage, each dieta is guided with great care, humility, and love by our experienced shamans.
In this immersive retreat, you will enter into a sacred agreement with a plant spirit, chosen with intention to support your healing. You will spend your days in solitude, living in a private tambo (jungle hut), surrounded by the sounds of the forest. With a simplified diet and limited outside contact, your senses open, your spirit softens, and the wisdom of the plant begins to speak.
Throughout your dieta, we offer loving support, regular check-ins, and personalized treatments. Our team holds you with presence and protection, while the plants do their sacred work. The dieta path is not always easy, but it is deeply transformative — offering insights, cleansing, and a return to inner truth.
Whether you are seeking emotional release, physical renewal, or spiritual guidance, a plant dieta at Yachay Wasi is a profound act of devotion to your healing and evolution.
This is not just a retreat. It is a prayer in motion — a return to the quiet knowing within.
