Masterplant
Dieta & PlantQuest
Enter into a sacred sanctuary with the wise & healing masterplants.
Learn, connect and receive from their spirit, wisdom & medicine.
Connect with the plant wisdom of the earth
The practice of the Dieta and PlantQuest has transformed our lives; it nourishes our inner seeds of divinity, facilitates deep healing, and allows us to continually open and blossom in our lives.
We believe that the Gift of the Plants wants to spread to make a deep connection, to heal and to share its (spiritual) medicine - to become allies by sharing this medicine with the world.
The Dieta / PlantQuest will support your healing process, your personal growth and bring more awareness into your life. If you wish, it can become a close friend, a partner in building a bridge between the spirit world and the human world.
We connect, learn and receive medicine from the plants, not only to keep it for ourselves, but also to share it with the world!
“We support people in developing conscious, intentional, rich, respectful, loving, meaningful and spiritual relationships with plants - their spirit, wisdom & medicine”
"Plants are silent teachers, and to communicate with them we need to slow down, quiet the mind and give space for another language to emerge. The intuitive and almost vegetative language that speaks from our hearts, our bodies and our inner being".

Nordic Masterplant Dieta
-
A plant Dieta can be thought of as 'Plant Vipassana' - a sacred sanctuary where you enter into communion with a master plant.
During the Dieta you will cultivate a relationship with the spirit of the plant through fasting, solitude, silence, meditation and drinking the plants extract.
Heal yourself to heal others
Dieta means for us to carry medicine and wisdom within us and to share it with others. It is through this deep practice that one studies the path of becoming a curandero/a (plant shaman/healer).
The Dieta is also a process of discovering yourself. It is a homecoming to your essence - to your inner nature, where the plant becomes your teacher.
We offer Nordic Dietas with

Join us in the heart of the Peruvian jungle where we will be dieting the glowing tree Noya Rao and other master plants, lead by maestro Don Rono Lopez.
Each year we travel to the jungle to continue our studies with the plants and Maestro Don Rono Lopez, and we invite maximum 8 people to join us. It is an opportunity to learn and connect with the wisdom of the plants under the guidance of a native Shipibo curandero with over 20 years experience.
We will translate the classes with Maestro and facilitate preparation and integration in Iquitos and back home. Throughout the program you'll have our full and exclusive support to guide you through any process that may arise.
The time frame for these programmes is from 2 to 6 weeks. The Master Plants offered are Noya Rao, Chuyachaqui, Bobinsana, Marosa & Chiric Sanango.
Emerged in nature, we hold space for deep introspection and connection to earth’s wisdom
Dieting with Don Rono will give you an authentic experience and a deeper insight in the Shipibo tradition of shamanism and plant medicine. It provides you the opportunity for profound healing, insights, transformation and connection to the powerful amazonian master plants.
A chance to reach deep within your roots and to (re)connect with nature, your inner light, love and path in life.

Birch Dieta experiences
Brian & Nicole had a Birch Dieta in the Swedish forest with us in 2022. Here you can hear about their experiences in Danish:
Moments from the Nordic Dieta/Quests
What is a Masterplant Dieta?
The word " Dieta" is Spanish for "diet" - in this specific case it refers to the ancestral diet of the Shipibos: eating small river fish, rice and plantains (cooked bananas). To distinguish between the specific food to be eaten (diet), we use "Dieta" to refer to the spiritual connection a person cultivates with a master plant such as Noya Rao, Bobinsana, Birch, etc.
A Dieta is a "Plant Vipassana" - a sacred sanctuary where one enters into communion with a master plant. During the Dieta, you will cultivate a relationship with the spirit of the plant through fasting, solitude, silence, meditation, and drinking the plant's extract. The spirit of the plant will be the teacher, sharing its wisdom & spiritual medicine with you, teaching you how to raise your consciousness and step deeper into your life's path. Some teachings are universal - such as the love that underlies every hardship - the ways to receive them are very individual - so you may receive the same teachings we did, but in a very different way.
A Dieta is a period of time (usually several weeks up to several months) during which the student follows very specific rules and restrictions regarding isolation from other people, sexual abstinence, dietary restrictions on foods such as salt, sugar, fat, oil, etc., and daily ingestion of the plant. This profound practice is strict, challenging & very rewarding. It highly depends on your dedication, your prayer, your intention, of course the plant and the Maestro who will guide and teach you on your path and share medicine and connection with you.
The more you cultivate, honor and align your Dieta & your own seed of divinity, the more both will blossom in your life.
The Dieta heals the body, mind and soul with the help of a powerful teacher spirit.
Our Dietas
Embedded in a 6-Week online program, private and group-sessions the center piece awaits you in nature for a minimum of 8 days (+ preparation and integration days).
1 week of Dieta Suave at home
2 weeks of deep dive in the forest (the 15 days traditional Dieta)
3 weeks of guided integration
To support you during this extended voyage, we will have two personalized sessions.
We want to support you as best we can in the whole transition from one state of being to another—a process full of deep insights and potential pitfalls as well, often underestimated and in our experience as important as the deep dive in the forest for your well-being and your connection with the plant spirit of your Dieta.
After the Dieta
After a successful completion, the word Dieta also refers to the spiritual connection now established with the master plant itself, through which you will be able to help yourself and others. This special spiritual medicine will be with you in your simple presence, practices and work.
The Dieta can also be seen as the training of Curanderos / Shamans / Herbalists, where the students receive knowledge and teachings directly from the plants.
We do plant Dietas not just for our own sake - we do them to share healing, wisdom and medicine with the world.
Honoring the lineage
Plant Dietas are the practice of some Amazonian tribes and the cornerstone of the Shipibo healing tradition of curanderismo (shamanism).
The Shipibo-Konibo are indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest in Peru. They are known for their deep and ancient healing tradition with plant medicine. The Shipibo say that their knowledge of healing and plant medicine comes directly from the plants themselves and especially through the Dieta with master plants.
A Maestro / Maestra is a plant healer with a deep connection to the plants and their ways, they have great experience and know how to guide their students through the sometimes difficult processes. While the plant becomes the teacher, the Maestro is the guide who helps you to communicate, understand & deepen your connection to Spirit. He/she ensures also the proper connection to the Spirit during the Dieta and seals it afterwards.
I our Diets in Scandinavia we combine the basic structure and tradition of the Shipibo-Dieta with our nordic and celtic roots, to connect you to the plants in our hemisphere.
Healing along the way
A Dieta and a PlantQuest can be a profoundly healing experience.
Deep traumas can be resolved and new perspectives created beyond the mind - beyond what can be imagined. It is a spiritual operation over days and even weeks and should be done with specialists in plant connection - it needs good guidance before, during and after to receive a deep and long lasting healing.
Spiritual healing is not a quick fix. It takes time for the sometimes fundamental changes and profound insights to find their way from the spiritual plane down to the 3 dimensions. Even a year after a Dieta, insights and changes can occur and guide your path.
We believe it can change your life for the better - let us talk and prepare you for the time after.
What is a PlantQuest?
A PlantQuest it is a deep inner journey in union with a plant.
Emerge yourself in nature, with all the support you need to focus and mediate, to receive wisdom, visions and healing. The PlantQuest has elements of the Shipibo Plant Dieta, the Nordic Udesidning and the Vision Quest. This particular format has been taught to us by the Birch tree.
It is a way of learning from nature (within and around you) by going into meditation and solitude while fasting, minimising stimuli and being fully present in nature. Through these elements, as well as the ceremonies and shamanic treatments, you will be connected to the plant wisdom of the earth. This is a deeply transformative and healing journey in union with nature, where a particular plant, such as birch, pine, mugwort, etc., becomes your teacher for the duration of the program.
Like the power animal in other traditions, here the Plant can become your ally.
A PlantQuest offers the opportunity for deep healing, insight, transformation and connection with a powerful master plant. A chance to reach deep into your roots and reconnect with nature, your inner light, love and purpose in life. It is a chance to receive the medicine of nature, connect to our ancestors and later to share this beautiful medicine to support others.
PlantQuest in Scandinavia
The main master plant of PlantQuest is the Birch tree. We recommend that you connect with this tree first as it provides a solid base for other plants. If you feel the call for other plants, such as Mugwort, Pine, Oak, etc., let us know
PlantQuest or Dieta?
The Diet is the longer program with more commitment to the plant, while the PlantQuest gives you everything you need to reconnect with yourself and take the next step in your life.
A Quest to discover yourself
Like in many other traditions of Visionquest, Udesidning the PlantQuest will become what you make out of it.
Are you looking for new perspectives and inspiration? Do you want to step into your next stage of life with a rite of passage, or do you want to emerge into nature to reconnect with yourself, overcome stress, go through your grief, anger, despair?
Whatever Mother Nature calls you home for, you are welcome!
