Dietary Restrictions

Pre-Retreat Require Restrictions

The more you prepare yourself, the greater the experience will be. The attitude in which you enter the experience will have a direct effect on the experience itself. Your personal commitment to the diet restrictions, ceremonies and cleansing activities is not only important for the quality of the experience, but is an essential part for your health and safety.
 

One Week prior, abstain from

  • Refined sugars
  • Red meat
  • Junk foods
  • Salt or pepper
  • Sweets or chocolate
  • Oils (if you must use oil, use olive or coconut oil very sparingly)
  • Animal fats (lard, etc.)
  • Carbonated drinks (including diet sodas, energy drinks, non-alcoholic beer)
  • Dairy products
  • Fermented foods
  • Caffeine & other stimulants

Two Weeks prior, abstain from

  • Pork
  • Sexual activities of any kind, including masturbation
  • Alcohol
  • Cannabis
  • ALL street drugs (cocaine, MDMA, amphetamines, etc.) – obligatory for your safety and for the possible energetic impact on other guests
  • Spicy food

Additional Restrictions:

    • IMPORTANT: Please contact us if you are currently taking any medication or supplements.
    • If you will be menstruating during the retreat, please inform your facilitators when you arrive.

    Following the recommended diet is essential to your safety. The cleaner your body is, from the list of items above, the less “purging” you will need to do in order to clean your body. Practicing dietary discipline is seen, from a shamanic perspective, as showing respect to the medicine and is believed to lead to more insight and less difficulty in the session.
