THE SACRED CONTAINER
We open a sacred container to work with plant teachers in the practices of a "soft" dieta and micro-dosing. These are plant medicine practices that you can do at home, in your everyday life.
When held in a guided container they facilitate a safe, slower-paced approach that allows you to develop deep intimate relationships with the plants spirits, listen to the guidance and messages of your heart & soul, and to work through old traumas and defense patterns in a sustainable manner that can be integrated into daily life. You get to experience the medicine and magic of plant teachers, learning how the plant can guide you in your life, your work, and your relationships.
The journey is focused around a 10 day "soft" diet - which is a modified version of the Amazonian plant dieta. These dietas are the traditional way in which healers learn the healing properties of the plants - by ingesting decoctions of the plants and communicating with the plant spirits. You can also micro-dose with the Grandmother vine alongside the dieta plant (if there are no contraindications). Or you can micro-dose with bobinsana, ajo sacha and others. If you want to learn more, see the FAQs section below and look for "What is the Difference of Micro-dosing vs. a Plant Dieta?"
In this journey, you learn to create a sacred container at home to work with the spirit of the plant. You eat a simple cleansing diet, limit your interactions with the outside world to your minimal responsibilities, and create energetic space to welcome and invite in the plant teachers.
You will feel the presence of the plant's spirit as it builds in your energy field. You'll also continue feeling the plants after the dieta and micro-dosing is over, and will develop a life-long relationship with them. For this reason, there are dietary guidelines for ~ 2 weeks after the dieta is over.
We meet online as a group over 8 weeks. The actual medicine portion will be about 4 weeks, with preparation before and integration afterwards. The full 8 weeks carries you through the weaving the plant medicine back into your life with more ease and understanding.
These meetings include guided meditations, energetic support, guidance & healing, and mentoring. We will be connecting with the spirit of the plants and allowing the intelligence of the group energy field to guide us. The power of being in a group is that we amplify and learn from others' work with these medicines.
Private 1:1 Sessions: Included is one private 90 minute Energy Clearing & Alignment session. Here you receive personalized guidance, energetic clearing, and deeper support. In these sessions, we dive into your energy field to clear out old emotions & thoughts, find truth & clarity, connect to your soul guidance and to communicate with the spirit of these plants. We work with an intention, a theme, a challenge or with whatever is arising for you during the diet. For deeper support and guidance, I suggest adding on an additional 90-minute private session that can be used anytime during the journey, or afterwards

THE PLANT TEACHERS
All plant teachers are sources ethically and sustainably from the San Martin Region of Peru (except the ayahuasca vine which is coming from Brazil). These plants are from an area near and dear to my heart, and they all embody the frequencies of pure vitality of Mother Earth that can only be found in the jungle, undisturbed from human development. They are powerful enough to take you deep into your healing and open your channels of learning, but also gentle enough to work with while in your everyday life, and from your own home. The plants are:
|
Bobinsana (Calliandra angustifolia), grows near streams and rivers in the Amazon and is easily recognizable due to her unusual and gorgeous bright pink flowers. She is an incredible and beautiful feminine spirit, a being of the water. Her medicine helps us free ourselves from places we limit ourselves in our expression, our joy, our creative power, and how we see ourselves. She teaches us deep compassion, love, & empathy. Bobinsana gets us out of the rigid unconscious patterns of the mind, cleanses our emotional field, and opens our hearts. Bobinsana also opens our ability to learn in our dreamtime, by activating lucid dreaming. In this group, you can choose to go on the 10-day soft dieta or work with here in a micro-dosing format.
|
|
Ajo Sacha (Mansoa alliacea) carries wisdom of physical, energetic & psychic protection and guides us to discover how to hold and transmit our light. She cleanses & realigns our physical & energetic bodies, and gifts us with great strength & immunity. She anchors roots us into our bodies and the Earth, so can we can safely bridge to higher dimensions to learn and to channel what's beyond. She is special medicine for those of us who have a tendency to unconsciously leave our bodies (often a "trauma response" or "soul loss"). Her teachings guide us to embody our radiance, our light, & our luminosity. She helps us find a healthy sense of self - one that is empowered as we engage with the outer world. We learn to hold healthy boundaries and energetic exchanges, so that we do not compromise ourselves.

|
Wild Amazonian Reishi (Ganoderma lingzhi) is not a plant but a fungi. Often considered the "Elixir of Immortality," it has been used for over 2,000 years in China as a medicinal mushroom that supports overall health, well-being, and longevity. It keeps us rejuvenated and inspired. It's fantastic for supporting the immune system, anxiety, fatigue, depression, sleep, mental health, peace of mind, stability, and optimism. Reishi promotes a deep sense of peacefulness, calms the mind, relaxes the nervous system, and can shift our awareness of reality. It's an incredible teacher of learning to sit with and care for yourself - on all levels, building strength and vitality. Reishi helps you focus - and you can use this however you would like. You can use the heightened awareness for spiritual practice, meditation or creative projects.

Amazonian Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is an ancient medicine widely-used for over 4,000 years in India and Southeast Asia and was a plant teacher of ancient Egypt. She penetrates deep into your body and cells with her warm, nourishing light. As a teacher, she brings hope, vibrancy and love, and guides you to your own deep reservoirs of kindness - for yourself and others. Turmeric balances your heart, mind & body - so that you can access clarity & creativity. She cleanses your energy field, and teaches you to find a healthy balance of embodying both sensuality / sexuality & chastity. Physically, she boosts your immune system from infection, flu and viruses, and detoxifies your blood, which improves digestion and fatigue. Turmeric is also known for reducing anxiety and alleviating depression. Working with this plant teacher, you are energized and your energy field is illuminated and clear.

Rose (Rosa rubiginosa) is one of the oldest flowers grown on our planet and been found in fossils over 35 million years old. When you work with her, you can feel her depth of relationship with the human species. She is an embodiment of the the Divine Feminine, a symbol of love and beauty for millennia all over the world. Rose help us heal our hearts, take care of ourselves and let ourselves receive nourishment and pleasure. She teaches us a fierce protection and upleveling of boundaries as she reveals where we need to be more in discernment of who and what we allow in our lives. Her medicine guides you through reclamation of the power and wisdom of the feminine mystery that our humanity has lost touch with, individually and collectively all over the world. She carries the strength and protection to alchemize past situations where your vulnerability may not have been honored. She also helps cool anger, relieves stress and elevates your mood.
|
|
Grandmother Vine (Banisteriopsis caapi, vine only, non-psychedelic, the Grandmother of the Amazon, is known as “The Vine of the Soul.” She is a master teacher that guides us back to our truth, asking us to release anything that is not serving our highest evolution. She teaches us to navigate all of life’s challenges with confidence & courage, and transmits deep power & strength. You can choose to work with her alongside other plants (if not contraindicated) or you can choose to only micro-dose with her to deepen your connection. Micro-dosing with her, opens up deeper meditative and flow states. She works synergistically with other plants to uproot and heal deeply held wounds. She encourages us to see new perspectives on life and opens us to make lasting changes in our lives. On a physical level, micro-dosing resets neural pathways & the nervous system; and helps with depression, anxiety and insomnia.

"My nervous system feels refreshed and uplifted after the diet. I feel a softening & lightness in my overall healing process, more joy and heart opening, and a greater sense of ease. I felt Bobinsana really guide me in deepening into my heart, finding integrity and the courage to move from this place in my life. I loved how Jaime held the space. Her style supported me in deepening my own relationship with the plant, and offered what felt like the right amount of guidance that allowed me to step into cultivating this. Her words would often stay with me and show up later as doorways to deepening with the plant and in my own process. I feel resonant with how Jaime relates with plants and appreciate the integrity and wisdom she carries that feels to teach a respectful, true, and grounded relationship with the plant world. This is how I hope for people to get to know the teachings of plants, and our place in and right relationship with the natural world."

"I really enjoyed working with you, Jaime. I love how you balance intuition and sensing energetically with offering practical tools and coaching. You seem to know what each person needs to focus on, work on and steer each person with love, respect and grace. I felt that you were genuinely interested in each one of us and our journeys, desiring to witness our growth and blooming. The container was beautiful - I felt connected to all the others even virtually through time and space. I felt that everyone listened to each other, respected and cared about each other. I liked how our weekly calls were a mixture of meditation, practical matters and sharing. "

"I’m learning lessons about giving and receiving, right relationship, and stewarding creative life force energy. I've also been exploring entanglements and interdependence. Bobinsana has been a gentle, but strong guide. Very light and grounded. She's helping me integrate all aspects of my being, bridging soul and humanness through the heart. I feel much lighter and clearer on all levels of my being. A reset of my digestive system. A reset of my subtle body. Noticing a huge uptick in joy and energy. Also more clarity on priorities - I feel like I've been pulled out of some of the ruts I'd fallen into and see more choice and thus more alignment with my values. There's a beautiful balance of guidance and healthy containment [in the group container] with the ability to meet you where you're at and leave you the freedom of your own experience. Plenty of space to ask questions and receive deeper support if you need it, but also lots of encouragement to build your own relationship with the plant and find your way.”

“I learned that the plants help to work with me over the long haul. They crack a wound open slightly, to offer a peek into a part of myself that needs examination and ultimate clearing. I learned that I could diet a plant at home with as much depth, commitment, and direct connection to the plant kingdom as strongly and immediately as I could in the jungle. Bobinsana is patient but effective in how she worked with me and my attachments to slowly peel away at them to expose them piece-by-piece and deal with them manageably. It is up to me to decide when to let go of those attachments that cause suffering, stagnation, or illness.... I thought that I would easily get derailed with all the distractions of living in the city and dealing with typical life demands as a single parent but…it helped a great deal to stick to the guidelines of the dieta and stay on track. I loved the energy work and the feedback offered during each session. Although this dieta can be done alone, it was nice to do it with others, even remotely, as everyone's energies and intentions are added to the richness of the container and the overall experience."

FAQs

What is the Difference of Micro-dosing vs. a Plant Dieta?
A plant dieta initiates a strong connection with a plant spirit. It’s opening a contract in the spirit world, to work with the medicine of the plant. In Amazonian traditions (and there are other traditions who also do this in their own ways), it’s the process of creating a very clean ceremonial sacred space to learn from the plant. This requires following strict food and lifestyle guidelines for both making sure there are not physical contraindications, but also to create a very clean energetic space, so you can sense, hear and feel the vibration and teaching of the plants. The plants work on the level of spirit and subtle energy (what is termed by some as the “shamanic realms”), so you have to have a clean space, in order for you to sensitively perceive these levels. The strictest is an isolation dieta, done in the Amazon under the guidance of a maestro/a, curandero/a. These teachers and healers have long deep and dedicated relationships with the plants, and know how to navigate the shamanic realms and guide the work of the plant in a safe, healing way. Doing an at-home “soft” dieta, or what’s often called an attunement, is a modified version of the traditional isolation dieta. You enter into a sacred container with a plant spirit, while still engaging in your normal everyday life. There are still dietary and lifestyle requirements to keep the space clean and aligned, but they are less stringent that in an isolation dieta. Unless you already have your own practice, these are also done under the guidance of a teacher, healer or guide who has cultivated a relationship with the plants. (Note: Not all plants are well suited for at-home dietas.) Micro-dosing is a gentler, more accessible way to get to know a plant. It’s taking a small dose of the medicine following a protocol over a certain amount of time. The diet and lifestyle restrictions are less intense (though there are some depending on the plant you are working with and how deep you want to go). If you consider a dieta more like a marriage, micro-dosing would be a dating relationship, where you are getting to know each other. What are the food & lifestyle limitations? When working with the vine, you will be required to eat a clean diet that follows traditional, yet modified guidelines (no chili, no alcohol, no caffeine, no sugar, no fried foods, no fermented foods, no strong herbal supplements, no sexual activity & more.) What you can eat: Organic veggies, fruits, grains, quinoa, seeds, legumes, limited oils and avocados. If needed: Fish, bone broth or organic chicken /eggs (though if you can go without, it's better). On the days off, when you are not micro-dosing, you will have more flexibility to add in limited amounts of some of the restricted foods. For animal proteins, it is best to limit them to days you are NOT micro-dosing, though in some cases you can have these on days you are micro-dosing. In most cases, even those with dietary or minor health challenges, my medical advisor and I have developed a plan that can work to meet individual needs. Please reach out to me if you have questions. Note on sexual activity: This is a deep energetic connection with the spirit of the plant, and it is advised to refrain from any sexual activity during the course of the 4-week protocol. Please reach out to talk about this more if this is a concern! What will I be eating? During the dieta and while micro-dosing, you can eat organic vegetables, fruit (limited), legumes, lentils, mung dal, rice, quinoa, oats, seeds, and other grains. You will also have some limited quantities of organic oil and salt. For those who need more protein, bone broths and fish are possible in limited amounts. It's a detox for the mind-body-spirit, and nearly everyone benefits from releasing any attachments to foods. In most cases, even those with special dietary considerations, my medical advisor and I have developed a plan that can work to meet individual needs. Please reach out to me if you have questions. |
Why have a guide?
Teachers of mine have shared that the work of the plants is only about 30-40% of the work. The remaining 60-70% is the work of the teacher, the guide, or the healer - who is connecting with the plant spirit and making sure that the energies are moving in an aligned way. Their job (my job) is to open the space, make the connection with the plant spirit, help hold the shamanic space and guide the process, and close the space. You would want a guide who has a dedicated relationship with the plant, an understanding of how the energies / spirits work, and someone you trust. Ideally, you find someone who you resonate with and who has had adequate training at the physical, energetic and spiritual level. While many think that they can simply "take the plant - what else is there to it?" - I do not recommend this unless you've been trained to work in this way in all dimensions. For myself, I have been engaging and training in these practices for nearly 15 years, and I still choose to work with teachers and guides. As know I can go deeper in my learning with someone else who has cultivated relationships with these plants, and who holds a safe space that I can trust. Will this fit my schedule? You will have some flexibility to meet your schedule. If you are micro-dosing only, you will have more flexibility to navigate any travels and events. If you are planning to do a 10-day soft dieta (alone or in addition to micro-dosing), you will need a solid 10-days where you can follow food limitations (will need to mostly be cooking for yourself). The recommended time period for beginning these 10-days is any time after February 16, and ending before March 16. How many people will the group be limited to? The maximum group size is 8-12 people. I prefer to guide this work in small intimate groups, so that the group energy field is cohesive, contained and as supportive as possible for the individual and collective healing and learning process. I am on medications and / or have a medical condition - can I still participate? It depends. Some of the plants are possible to work with on some medications. If you are taking any of the following, you cannot micro-dose the vine: SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors such as Zoloft, Prozavc, Lexapro, etc), SNRIs (such as Cymbalta, Pristiq, etc), MAOIs (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors- both pharmaceutical & herbal), cardiovascular medications, lithium, tramadol and any antipsychotic medication. Please consult your medical doctor if you are on medications or have an existing health condition. Please reach out to me if you have questions. Can I do this in my normal everyday life? Yes! This is designed to navigate in your everyday life. The plants are gentle enough to work with, but do require your attention and care. During the 10-day soft dieta it is recommended to not be traveling, and to minimize your social activities. You can live your normal life with your responsibilities, but be mindful during these 10 days especially of energetic exchanges, loud environments, & stressful work as you will be very sensitive. It's advisable to plan to take more time to yourself and in nature. Even if it's a afternoon or day off from work, you will be grateful for the extra time to deepen into your practice. Can I work with other plant or frog medicines, or psychedelics? No, this is absolutely NOT allowed during this container. There can be dangerous medical contraindications with combining medicines. And we are deepening into plant spirit medicine, which requires a focus and commitment to learning from a plant teacher without interference, so that you can hear, feel and experience the plant. |
