"Optional 3 weeks in Peru in July" The Dieta starts June 27; the shared course ends July 20. Dates are correct. This is 2 days longer than 3 weeks, but I am sticking to 3 weeks for ease of communication.
Unit 3 · Part 1 Option 2: June 27 - July 11, 2027
2-Week Master Teacher Plant & Ayahuasca Dieta
This is recommended for individuals who have previously experienced an Ayahuasca ceremony and are ready to go deeper into their relationship with healing jungle plants.
