The dieta consists of an 8-day isolation period with ritualized ingestion of so-called "master plants", whilst following a special food diet and strict physical and psychological rules (more on the traditional dieta).
The initial part of the retreat is carried out in the Takiwasi Center whilst the dieta will be done in the jungle, inside Takiwasi's botanical reserve (about one hour walk away).

Participants will have to go through an evaluation process allowing us to understand medical and psychological conditions of each individual.
During the retreat, Veterans and First Responders will be under the supervision of our team of doctors, healers and psychologists. Each participant will have to follow certain physical and psychological rules.
A member of the team at Takiwasi will handle the entire supervision of the retreat for Veterans and First Responders. He or she will accompany the participants through the entire process with group and individual sessions upon arrival, during the retreat and at the end of the process.
