Jungle Medicine Retreat

Sacred Medicine retreats in the jungle of Peru, working with indigenous maestros

JUNGLE MEDICINE RETREAT in PERU 2025
Welcome to the Jungle Medicine Retreat, the Shamanic Healing Retreat (called dieta) that Yama is organizing with maestro Don José Campos and the gifted Medicine Singer Artur Mena (her music teacher) in the Peruvian jungle. This retreat is planned from the 3rd March till the 14th of March 2025. Dates need to be confirmed.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓
Ten or eleven days deep in the jungle, five medicine ceremonies (four at night, the last one in the day – always with a day in between), dieting other plants as well (either a mix that will support your overall health, or a plant teacher like bobinsana), and a last celebration day in Don José’s guesthouse (or a post-diet integration retreat with Yama, staying a few days longer in the jungle).

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.

SCHEDULE MARCH 2025

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).
