What is a Dieta?
A Plant Dieta is a shamanic way of spiritual healing through which one receives medicine, wisdom, and guidance from powerful plant teachers. It is an intentional process of entering into relationship with the spirit and consciousness of a master plant, allowing it to become a teacher, healer, and ally in one’s personal and spiritual evolution.
A dieta is held within specific protocols that create a clear and protected energetic container. These include simple foods, reduced external stimulation such as media and news, and an emphasis on solitude, time in nature, and inward listening. This focused environment supports subtle communication with the plant—through the body, emotions, intuition, and dreams.
In a social dieta, one continues to engage with daily life and work while honoring the process through mindful boundaries, energetic discipline, and deep inner awareness.
The relationship with the master plant does not end when the dieta concludes. Its guidance and support continue to unfold over time, offering greater clarity, heart connection, and alignment in service to life. A plant dieta is a powerful invitation to slow down, connect with the unseen, and allow the wisdom of nature to guide from within.
The spirit of Bobinsana offers herself as a gentle yet powerful ally for healing, heart-opening, and integration within everyday life.

Opening a master plant dieta requires an icaro, which is a song that attunes your higher self and your energy field to the “nete” the world of plant dieta. We call upon the plant spirit to come and work with you as your ally and sacred friend for the duration of the container. In the last call, we sing an icaro to let the plant spirit know your dieta is complete and to wrap you up with all the teachings and healing you’ve received and patterns you’ve shifted.

Traditionally dieted by shamans, she was valued for strengthening the body, heart, mind, and spirit, and for supporting long life, vitality, and resilience. Her teachings help relieve doubts, boost self-confidence, and increase energy, while also strengthening the reproductive and immune system. Shamans who worked with Bobinsana were said to live beyond 100 years!
Also known as a River Mermaid, Bobinsana is native to high, rocky terrain near flowing rivers. Her world is the mountains and waters, rich with flowers and beautiful spirits. Her roots dig deep to wrap around stone, protecting her during floods—symbolizing sovereignty, stability, and adaptability amidst life’s currents.

FAQ
Welcome! I am Carolyn Colibri and I invite you in this transformative 4 week private Bobinsana master plant dieta. For over five+ years, I devoted my time to apprenticing on the medicine path. I dieted over 1 cumulative year with various northern and jungle master plants including : Bobinsana, Mapacho, Rose, Cedar, Devil's Club, Noya Rao and Chiric Sanango. To say the least, this path has opened me, challenged me, and continues to teach me to live a life of integrity and beauty. I hold this work with humility and devotion and it is my prayer that this work can support you to walk your own true path. It is with deep gratitude that I received the blessing by Earth Temple’s Curandera Athena Naia to offer this sacred practice.
