Avoid the following for 2-4 weeks before and after the ceremony, such as

So what can you eat?

Think, oatmeal, porridge, chia pudding, fruit, soups, stews, rice, boiled eggs, roasted veggies, millet, quinoa, and please do not be scared to eat larger portions to give your body the energy it needs! I also really recommend taking electrolytes/ trace minerals in your water everyday to support your hydration. Linked below -

Packing List

  • DayPack Backpack (40L can usually fit in the overhead) - You can carry larger if you’d like to check the bag

  • Cotton/ Natural Fiber White shirt/ pants/ dress for ceremony

  • Headlamp and extra batteries (crucial for navigating ceremony and the jungle at night)

  • Solar Powered battery pack to charge your phone/ camera/ devices for documentation should you wish

  • Waterbottle with a retractable straw for easy use during ceremony. I recommend a lifestraw water bottle for extra protection - the drinking water at Mama Yura is carried in from the city and is filtered but for a peace of mind a lifestraw bottle is good to have.

  • Extra unsalted electrolytes like the ones linked above. We will have some on hand but having your own if you’d like is beneficial to support your hydration during the diet.

  • Turkish Cotton Bath Towel to have an extra towel

  • Dr. Bronners unscented Castile soap for washing body/ hair

  • Dr. Bronners Toothpaste/ other natural biodegradable toothpaste

  • Herbal, biodegradable insect repellent

  • Creative Items, paints, brushes, markers, instruments. This will be a time for creativity and expression.

  • Journal

  • $500 minimum in cash to exchange for soles if you wish to purchase tools, shipibo artesian items, mapachos, clothing. We will also leave a tip for the kitchen staff so some cash support there we have a lot of gratitude for. Please bring unripped bills for the money exchange.

  • Rainboots/ Jungle boots. You can wear them/ pack them on the plane if you have them - if not they can be purchased for 80 soles in Peru before we head into the jungle

  • Sandals

  • Loose natural fiber clothing to stay comfortable in the jungle. You’d want your clothes to be breathable to best support your body through the process.

Earth Stewardship + Land Conservation

On our last day we will intentionally plant our medicinal plant and will be holding a workshop on using the plants/ resources around you to properly steward and care for the ecology around us. We will be taking some time after the closing of our dieta to come together and plant the plants that we have dieted with to fully root an establish our relationship. With reciprocity and giving back to the earth. We will be learning about closed loop systems to be in good relation with the earth and to take these practices and apply them to our day to day life. Leaving an everlasting imprint of our care, dedication and devotion to caring for our earth and caring for the center that has held us and will continue to hold us at Mama Yura Healing Art Center.
