Join us for an 11-Day Immersion into the world of plant dieting held in the palero tradition of Maestro Alberto. Designed for experienced dieters, this retreat features 6 Ayahuasca ceremonies & a series of specialized workshops exploring the dieta process in-depth.

Participants will select from available plant medicines to create their own dieta preparation along with Maestro Alberto & our medicine team. Intended to be both experiential & educational, this journey is for those looking to deepen their understanding of plant medicine and learn how to get the most out of this transformational practice.
