Plant Dieta with Alonso Del Rio
Amazon Jungle - Peru
20 - 30th May 2024
What is La Dieta
La Dieta is an integral part of the Amazonian healing tradition that has been used for time immemorial by healers / curanderos to not only heal with the plants, but to learn from the plants. Although dieta is undergone in some other South American countries and their indigenous ancestral plant medicine practice, in Peru it has its deepest roots and most ancient and widespread tradition.
There are hundreds of plants within this design that are known to be master teachers, master healers. Some are more well known than others, some may have obvious psychoactive properties, others may not - but this is no indicator of the potency or benefits that can be received from the plants.
Everything begins with humility and respect.
Nowadays, across the world, the most famous plant from the Amazonian tradition is affectionately known as the Grandmother Ayahuasca, and while a curandero may very well know and work with the Grandmother, usually dieta is held with other plants - maybe with ceremonies with the Grandmother to support the process.
The Tradicional dieta is an inner work that takes place in solitude and with minimal contact between human beings to be able to achieve greater depth in the journey to your interior.
Therefore, during the days of the diet, there should be no physical contact and it should only be strictly necessary for practical things.
You can only talk to Alonso in case you need to clarify something or receive some advice during the integration discussions.
You can also use no type of perfume, shampoo or chemicals in general (toothpaste, makeup, repellents, perfumes...). Just water.
In the diet, a particular diet is followed that is compatible with the plants that will be taken (in general cereals and legumes, all without salt, sugar and fat. It is not allowed to eat any type of fruit or vegetables) all permitted food will be given by us.
By being disconnected from our main habits and relationships, we suspend many of the conditions that usually govern us.
Mental and emotional patterns are more clearly detectable and allow us to do much more specific and concrete work in modifying bad thoughts and negative emotions.
This step is for humans who are genuinely interested in healing, growth and transformation.
Alonso Del Rio
Alonso del Río with 45 years of experience, lived in the Amazon Jungle for 13 years following the formation of a traditional healer under the guidance of Don Benito Arévalo, one of the most recognized Onaya Shipibo (medicine man), who died in 2005 when 84 years old.
Founder of Ayahuasca Ayllu, Alonso Del Rio expresses through his work what he considers the three most important manifestations of humanity: science, art and spirituality.
Life-long student of the ancestral American and worldwide traditions, to this date he is one of the main referents on the West in regards to the work with master plants and ancient cultures. He was born in Lima, Peru in 1962.
In 1977, while travelling in the Peruvian rainforest he had his first Ayahuasca experience. He met who would become his first and most important teacher, Don Benito Arevalo, from the Shipibo people. Alonso spent the next 13 years of his life living in different places of the Peruvian Amazon, receiving the traditional training of a "curandero" (healer). He soon realized that the classic use of Ayahuasca could be expanded to also serve as an instrument of self-knowledge and the expansion of consciousness.
One of his very early conclusions about the work with sacred plants and the development of consciousness is that one must actually become an agent of change and manifest everything that has been learned for the common good.
He is the author of several music Albuns, and "Tawantinsuyo 5.0" and "The Four altars" books , "La medicina Del perdon" y "Urpillay Sonqollay Kokamama" Documentaries and at his movie " The four Altars" . .

The Bahuaja Conservation Area
The Dieta will be hold at Bahuaja Conservation Area that is a 132-hectare piece of land located on the Tambopata River in the department of Madre de Dios in the Peruvian Amazon dedicated primarily to the conservation of the Amazon ecosystem and related projects. In it we carry out diets, retreats and workshops. Our facilities were built with 90% reclaimed wood (naturally fallen trees). It was a big cost overrun but now we know it was worth it.
We have 2 wells from which we extract pure water through solar pumps. All the electrical energy in the place is photovoltaic and it is our goal that in the near future we will change the outboard motor to gasoline -that transports us to the area- for an electric outboard motor, cutting all dependence on oil and reducing our carbon footprint carbon to ZERO.
With the aim of making our food also carbon neutral, we grow a wide variety of crops in-site, such as plantain, cassava and other tubers. We also have avocados, cocoa, pineapples, coffee, papayas, coconuts, lemons, sugar cane, guava, camu camu, mango, carambola, arazá, noni, moringa, anona and other exotic fruits, all grown organically.
We also have a significant amount of ayahuasca, chacruna, tobacco and coca planted as well as other medicinal plants. It is good to see with your own eyes what is happening in this hidden but very important place on the planet.

Organizers
Who are we?
Fer has been living in Peru for 7 seven years and has been learning with Alonso Del Rio from 2014 to date.
Fer´s vision about master plants is that they can help as a human development tool, apart from healing and expansion of consciousness, in order to help humans have healthier and happier lives.
Teresa Feijó, Founder of MAMITAY, knew
Alonso Del Rio in 2016 when she had contact with his Books "Tawantinsuyo 5.0" and "Los cuatro Altares" and his music, which profoundly impacted her. But only in 2018 she had the privilege to meet him at his Center the "Casa de Mis Abuelos", en Taray -Sacred Valley, Peru and started to take plants guided by him.
Fer & Teresa, will support and help you with all the processes of pre and post dieta
with Alonso Del Rio.
"We really know the impact of this work in our lives, we know by experience that we could not be in better hands to do this kind of work"
