Â
BookThis Chiricsanango (MĂłkapari) Urban dieta is being offered as a sanctuary, a place to reattune ourselves so that we better serve this moment.Â
Sometimes, taking a break from news and media can feel like an escape. This dieta is less of a withdrawal and more of a conscious pause for recalibration—a moment to realign with the deep knowing already alive within us. It is a collective breath: to walk as those who enter a forest not to conquer it, but to listen.
The field we cultivate in this master plant dieta becomes more than a temporary refuge; it becomes a numinous sanctuary, a lived, participatory sacredness...
Awakened through presence, inspired by awe and “ayni,” the gift of spiritual reciprocity.Â
A Master Plant Sama (Dieta):Â Â
A Samá or plant dieta serves as an initiation into the mystery school of the "Rao Nete," the realm of plant spirits. It is a communion with the natural forces of the world—a time marked by inner stillness and deep listening. During these moments, the subtle forces of nature become more apparent, and the deeper call of the plants is heard from within.
Samá is an ancient earth technology in which the plant spirit transmits its knowledge both to and through you. This occurs through transformative shifts in behavior and diet. It is a period dedicated to creating a conscious, sacred space—one nurtured by solitude, abstinence, ascetic practices, and a more restricted diet. These adjustments foster an attuned and receptive state, allowing the messages of the plants and spirit to emerge with clarity.
This sacred journey invites contemplation of life changes, exploration of new directions, and a space for collective grieving and growth. During a plant dieta, that which is hidden is revealed and personal shadows are illuminated. It is often said, “en la dieta está la curación” — “the healing is in the dieta” — emphasizing that healing extends beyond the plants to the self, addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual layers.
Noticing the emotional currents that arise during the deeper stages of the dieta is essential—this is where profound healing begins. The plants help to remind us that love is intrinsic to human nature. Yet sometimes, a journey through the dark night of the soul is necessary before the light of awareness reemerges.
These challenging moments reveal what one is truly made of—times of vulnerability that also bring about a deeply felt aliveness. In the end, the plants root us back into communion with the sacredness of all life.

Dieting Tulsi (Holy Basil)
Â
Dieting Tulsi is an invitation into clarity, devotion, and inner alignment. Revered as a sacred plant across many traditions, Tulsi carries a stabilizing presence that supports purification on both physical and energetic levels, helping to quiet mental agitation and restore balance to the nervous system.
This plant spirit strengthens resilience and integrity, encouraging us to meet life with steadiness and sincerity. Tulsi gently reveals patterns of distraction, depletion, or imbalance that pull us away from our center, guiding us back toward disciplined presence and right relationship with ourselves and the world around us.
Tulsi cultivates grounded awareness and spiritual focus, supporting deeper meditation, prayer, and connection to purpose. Through relationship with this plant ally, participants often experience renewed vitality, emotional equilibrium, and a strengthened capacity to walk their path with clarity and devotion.
Healing Benefits:
• Mental Clarity & Focus: Calms the mind and supports sustained attention, presence, and discernment.
• Stress & Nervous System Support: Helps regulate stress responses and restore energetic balance.
• Spiritual Grounding: Encourages discipline, devotion, and alignment with one’s values and purpose within the dieta process.
Diet the Red Rose
Â
Dieting the Red Rose is a return to the heart of love itself. This plant embodies unconditional love, beauty, and grace, inviting a gentle yet profound opening of the heart. Through its presence, emotional barriers soften, allowing long-held wounds and protective patterns to move toward healing and integration.
This plant spirit helps dissolve layers of guarding that have limited our ability to give and receive love fully. Rose reveals where we may have closed ourselves off from authenticity, supporting the release of shame, grief, and emotional contraction that hinder connection with ourselves and others.
Working with Red Rose nurtures compassion, tenderness, and emotional balance, encouraging a reconnection with the sacred within daily life. Through this dieta, participants often experience renewed openness, deeper self-acceptance, and a strengthened capacity to live and relate from the intelligence of the heart.
Healing Benefits:
• Heart Opening and Emotional Healing: Facilitates the release of emotional pain, shame, and barriers, fostering love and acceptance.
• Deep Connection: Strengthens your relationship with the divine and your highest self, heightening intuition and spiritual insight.
• Inner Compassion & Forgiveness: Nurtures profound tenderness and self-love, supporting healing from grief, trauma, and disconnection.Â

 Testimonials
Working with Robin and Alicia has been more beneficial to me than years of therapy; through recognizing old patterns that keep me stuck, connecting with, processing, and releasing deep emotions, and helping me see the pure light we all possess. While it is each individual who must walk the path to healing, their insights, support, and vast experience are invaluable along the way. I look forward to continuing this path with them.
Robin provides a safe, nurturing container for deep healing to occur. He offers so much love and warmth to each participant in the ceremonies, and I have found him to be someone that embodies maximum integrity in his work and his commitment to carrying the Mahua lineage forward. I recommend him most warmly.
— Shaun R.
I want to share that Robin is an absolute loving, caring, genuine human being who puts so much effort, care and dedication into meeting the needs of all the participants. He’s a 100% heart and a true pleasure to be in presence with.
Alicia is amazing in her skill and capacity in bringing the group field into a focused, intentional vibration, to bringing the group field to its edge, and to really pull out that essence of dedicated transparency and vulnerability. Together, they really create a space where we can drop into the depth of the work.

Through this work, I was able to really get to some core truths and follow that path the whole way down instead of getting stuck at my inner blocks like I have so many times before.
