Jungle Medicine Retreat
Sacred Medicine retreats in the jungle of Peru, working with indigenous maestros
JUNGLE MEDICINE RETREAT in PERU 2023
Welcome to the Jungle Medicine Retreat, the Shamanic Healing Retreat (called dieta) that Yama is organizing with maestro Wilmer Muños Campos and the gifted Medicine Singer Artur Menas (her music teacher) in the Peruvian jungle, from the 4th March till the 16th of March 2023.
FOR WHOM
This retreat is for people who feel ready to dive deep with us; who want to truly wake up and raise their consciousness to a next level; who feel deeply committed to do their own work with the Sacred Medicines; doing the work in the midst of all the powerful medicine plants growing around us; and resonating with these guidelines of our dear Maestro and Teacher Don José:
1. Only 10% of what happens in the ceremonies is the work of the Medicine, 90% is your work.
2. All the drama you create is completely pointless. Stop the drama! Be responsible.
3. Know how immensely powerful you are. Go stand in your own power and stop giving it away.

MORE INFORMATION JUNGLE MEDICINE RETREAT
The Munay Camp is a beautiful but simple private Amazonian camp created for spiritual healing and inner exploration, as well as a conservation project deep in the Ucayali Region of the Peruvian Amazon, devoted to providing an authentic experience of personal inner healing and self-discovery. The Munay Camp consists of a central service area with a kitchen, a large Malocca (ceremonial space) where the ceremonies are held and several riverside tambos (private huts with a bed, a mosquito net, and a 5 gallon bottle of pure drinking water for your 10 day stay). The tambos are located approximately 25 meters from each other with little or no visual contact between them.
After arriving in the jungle, you will be pampered with a last meal together, before beginning your healing dieta. The rest of your meals (very simple food, free of fat, salt, sugar, or condiments) will be served at your tambo, twice daily. As soap, deodorants and tooth paste are not allowed during the dieta, Wayusa leaves will be provided each morning to be used in replacement. You can simply break some wayusa up in a glass of water and dip your tooth brush in it, and wash yourself in a bucket of water from the river, with wayusa leaves.
What is a dieta?
A dieta is a structure based on what the ancient curanderos did to heal their members out of disease. It is a tool helping you to reach and maintain an altered state of consciousness which permits the plant spirit heal, instruct, provide knowledge and enable the initiate to acquire power. It is viewed as a means of making the mind operate differently, providing access to wisdom and lucid dreams.
To understand plants as capable of communicating, the conditions by which we can best relate to them is… a big leap for many of us! However, in order to grasp the rationales of the dietas and the entire therapeutic process in which they are involved, it is important to cultivate a view of the Natural world as highly aware, intelligent, infinitely helpful (if approached with respect) and ultimately enchanted.
The simple explanation of the therapeutic value of a dieta is as follows:
1. It modifies states of higher consciousness.
2. It purifies our body, and stimulates our body’s innate ability to self-heal.
3. It allows us to more easily deal with the strong emetic, cathartic, and visionary effects commonly associated with the sacred plants.
The resulting changes need to be carefully protected, as rearrangements in body biochemistries and identity patterns leave us for a time sensitive and vulnerable. In this way dietas can be typified as preparation and recovery technologies that attend this sort of phyto-spiritual “surgery”. It is suggested to plan some integration time, after the dieta (Yama might organise a place to do this together, for the ones interested).
Preparation
The pre-diet starts two weeks before arriving in the jungle and the post diet lasts another two weeks after (you will receive additional information on this in a special preparation document).
MORE INFORMATION POST-DIETA INTEGRATION RETREAT (optional)
Unique opportunity for a post-dieta integration program, including post-dieta food, stay in jungle tambos, integration circle to embody all the healing and information downloads, visionary painting workshop (painting your visions and insights on canvas under guidance of Moises who is a gifted visionary painter), optional tobacco cleanse, and a last integration ceremony by Deva Yama & Moises Llerena.
My experience is that the transition from the jungle back to the rush in Pucallpa is a big one, leave alone traveling directly back home. So I advise you to take at least a few more days after the dieta before traveling back (if possible), so as to acclimatize and integrate the impact of the ceremonies.
But as Pucallpa is a busy and noisy town, which can be pretty overwhelming after the dieta. Myself, I prefer to integrate in the jungle – but it is not so easy to get there by yourself. So, like last year, we are organizing something for you! From Wednesday the 15th (immediately following the dieta) till Sunday the 19th of March; returning to Pucallpa on Sunday the 19th of March, for a last Celebration meal at Don José’s place and a last night in Pucallpa at the guesthouse.
“When Yama and Moises work together, they bring a lot of joy into the medicine work.
FOR WHOM
This Jungle Medicine Retreat is for people who feel ready to dive deep with us in the Medicine Space of Healing and raised Consciousness; for those who truly want to wake up and raise their consciousness to a next level; who feel deeply committed to do their own work with the Sacred Medicines; resonating with this important message of Maestro Don José:
1. Only 10% of what happens in the ceremonies is the work of the Medicine, 90% is your work.
2. All the drama you create is completely pointless. Stop the drama! Be responsible.
3. Know how immensely powerful you are. Go stand in your own power and stop giving it away.
BY WHOM
The ceremonies during this dieta* will be guided by Wilmer Muños Campos, the cousin of our Maestro Don José Campos, who was thoroughly trained by his uncle DJ, and the live music of the gifted Medicine singer Artur Mena.
This is a great opportunity to be in ceremonies with the most beautiful and uplifting Medicine music ever, by my dear friend and teacher Arturo!
The retreat is being organized by Deva Yama, with the help of Timo. Both of them will be in the retreat, joining with the music in ceremonies and doing her own inner work at the same time.
NB: this work is different than my own medicine work, and different from the last dietas she organized in Peru.
There are not ‘assistants’, we support each other.

Hope to meet you in the Jungle!
Much love, Yama
