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 emotional 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, 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.

Each year we travel to the jungle to continue our studies with the plants and Maestro Don Rono Lopez, and we invite a maximum of 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 of 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 programs is from 2 to 6 weeks. The Master Plants offered are Noya Rao, Chuyachaqui, Bobinsana, Marosa, Chiric Sanango and more.
Dieting with Don Rono will give you an authentic experience and deeper insight into the Shipibo tradition of shamanism. It offers you the opportunity for profound healing, insight, transformation and connection to the powerful Amazonian master plants.
A chance to reach deep into your roots and reconnect with nature, your inner light, your love and your life's path.

Moments from the Nordic Dieta/Quests
What is a Masterplant Dieta?
The word "Dieta" is Spanish for "diet," but in this context, it represents much more than food. While the traditional diet of the Shipibo includes simple foods like small river fish, rice, and plantains, "Dieta" is a term we use to describe the sacred process of entering into a deep spiritual connection with a master plant—such as Oak, Bobinsana, Birch, and others.
A Dieta is a "Plant Vipassana," a sacred space opened and closed by an experienced guide, where one communes with the spirit of a master plant. During the Dieta, you are invited into solitude, fasting, meditation, silence, and daily drinking of the plant's extract to cultivate a personal relationship with its spirit. The plant spirit serves as your teacher, sharing wisdom and spiritual medicine, helping you to raise your consciousness, and guiding you further along your life path. While some teachings, like the underlying love within every hardship, are universal, each Dieta is unique, with lessons shaped specifically for each individual.
The Dieta requires adherence to specific rules: a period of isolation, sexual abstinence, strict dietary restrictions (on salt, sugar, oils, etc.), and a daily ingestion of the plant. This path is rigorous yet rewarding, relying heavily on your commitment, intention, and alignment, as well as the plant and the Maestro who opens, guides, and closes the space with care and experience.
The more you honor and align with your Dieta and the sacred nature within you, the more its blessings will unfold. With the help of a powerful teacher spirit, a Dieta has the potential to bring profound healing to the body, mind, and soul.
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 and two group sessions (online).
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.
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 original Dieta is the training of Curanderos / Shamans / Herbalists, where the students receives knowledge and teachings 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 a revered practice of some Amazonian tribes and serve as the heart of the Shipibo healing tradition in Peru.
The Shipibo-Konibo, an indigenous people of the Amazon, are renowned for their profound relationship with plant medicine. Their knowledge of healing originates from the plants themselves, with the Dieta being a key path to receive guidance directly from master plants.
A Maestro or Maestra, a deeply experienced plant healer, acts as both a guide and a support throughout the Dieta. While the plant serves as the teacher, the Maestro ensures the participant’s connection to Spirit, supporting them through the process and helping to interpret the plants' teachings.
In our Dietas, we are grateful to carry forward this sacred tradition with the blessing of our Maestro, combining the fundamental structure of the Shipibo Dieta with our own Nordic and Celtic roots to connect participants to the plants of our hemisphere.
Healing along the way
A Dieta and a PlantQuest can be a profoundly healing experience.
Deep traumas can be healed, and new perspectives can arise that go beyond the limits of the mind—beyond what we might imagine. A Dieta is a powerful spiritual process, often lasting days or even weeks, and it should be guided by experienced specialists in plant connection. Proper guidance before, during, and after the Dieta is essential to receive its full, long-lasting effects.
True spiritual healing is not a quick fix. It takes time for the profound insights and inner transformations to integrate from the spiritual plane into everyday life. Even a year after a Dieta, new realizations and shifts may unfold, gently guiding you on your path.
We believe in the potential of this journey to change your life for the better. Let's talk and prepare you fully, not only for the Dieta but also for the time afterward, so these insights can continue to blossom and support your journey.
What is a PlantQuest?
PlantQuest: A Journey of Inner Union with a Plant
A PlantQuest is a transformative inner journey guided by the wisdom of a plant teacher, offering you the time and space to find direction, clarity, and healing in nature.
Immerse yourself in a natural setting with the guidance needed to focus, meditate, and receive visions, insights, and healing. The PlantQuest, inspired by the Shipibo Plant Dieta, Nordic Udesidning, and Vision Quest, serves as a rite of passage and an opportunity to seek purpose, renewal, or transition into a new phase of life.
This particular format, taught to us by the Birch tree, blends meditation, solitude, fasting, and nature immersion to connect you with the wisdom within and around you. Group sessions and plant treatments deepen your connection, allowing a chosen plant like birch, pine, or mugwort to become your guide.
A Rite of Passage for Self-Discovery
In the PlantQuest, the plant becomes your ally, guiding you as a powerful presence, much like a spirit guide or power animal in other traditions. By stepping into this sacred journey, you open yourself to insight, transformation, and connection with your inner purpose and the greater cycles of nature. This path of solitude and simplicity allows you to receive the clarity and direction you seek, whether for a specific life decision, a new beginning, or a desire to ground yourself in a deeper truth.
PlantQuest in Scandinavia
We honor the Birch tree as the foundational plant of the PlantQuest, as it offers a steady, grounding presence. Beginning with Birch establishes a solid base from which to explore other plant allies. If you feel called to connect with other plants, such as Mugwort, Pine, or Oak, please reach out.
PlantQuest or Dieta?
A Dieta is a longer, more immersive process that involves a committed relationship with a master plant, including guidance and structure before, during, and after the experience. A PlantQuest, on the other hand, is a focused journey, ideal for those seeking self-discovery, connection to nature, and a rite of passage without the long-term commitment of a full Dieta.
Your Quest for Purpose and Transformation
Like a Vision Quest, the PlantQuest is an open-ended experience, shaped by what you bring to it. Are you seeking a deeper purpose, a shift in perspective, or a chance to reconnect with nature and yourself? Whether you’re marking a life transition, seeking clarity for your path, or healing from grief, anger, or stress, the PlantQuest invites you to reconnect with your roots and align with your inner light.
Whatever calls you, let nature guide you back home.
