14 Day Rose Dieta in Sacred Valley, Peru
A dieta is a sacred pilgrimage, a rite of passage, and a deep journey of communion with a specific master plant spirit.
When approached with respect, integrity, commitment, and devotion, it has the potential to catalyze profound transformation in your life.
This special time invites you to awaken greater levels of your light and power, while also tending to and healing inner wounds that are ready to return to wholeness.
A dieta is both an embodiment of your inner light and a time to intimately confront your deeper shadows.
The Magic of White Hampi Rose
Hampi in Quechua means “medicinal.” These roses are deeply special—harvested from bushes that are hundreds of years old, carrying the ancient wisdom of these lands.
Why White Rose?
There are many colors of the Rose, yet through years of experience with her, we have learned that the proper way to begin is with White Rose.
White Rose represents purity and divinity. She is the Rose of the Seraphim, guiding you closer to God— the divinity and powerful presence that lives within you. She restores the wholeness of your soul’s original light, purifying all that keeps you separate from the Divine and returning you to union with your true essence.
White Rose is also known as the Queen. She awakens your unique feminine essence and supports you in becoming the greatest embodiment of your inner queen. She invites you into greater feminine leadership for yourself, your life, your projects, and your community.
She guides you to lead with grace, authenticity, and trust, helping you create from a place of divine service and passion.
Rose will bring you deep into the mystery of your heart, awakening self-love, compassion, grace, and forgiveness. In this way, she helps you release resentment and forgive those who may felt impossible to forgive, including yourself. She also works very strongly with the maternal line of your lineage, bringing healing to any ruptures that may be present in your ancestry.
She purifies the places within you that have not yet fully honored your worth, helping you embody a new-found sense of true worthiness.
She opens up a space for you to come into greater communion with your womb, and heal any lingering trauma that may be present from assault, abortions, miscarriages or invasive procedures.
We prepare the medicine using all parts of the flower: stem, blossoms, leaves, vine, and thorns. Each part of the Rose carries its own medicine, and the way we cook her is guided by your intentions and what you are coming to heal.
For example, on some days we may add more thorns to help unlock and release deeply rooted wounds. On other days, we may include more blossoms to support you in embodying greater light and empowerment.
This 14 Dieta is for the woman who is ready to:
Dieta Protocol:
The dieta protocol is strict, and it is imperative that you follow it fully—before, during, and after your dieta. This discipline is both a sacrifice and a sacred contract with the plant. The deeper your devotion, the more the plant honors your commitment, offering blessings and transformative healing in your life. The purpose of this protocol is to ensure that your body becomes a clean vessel, prepared to merge withthe intelligence and wisdom of the plant.
By following the dieta, you open the door to a lifelong allyship with the plant—a master spirit who will walk beside you, guiding you the path toward your prayers. Disrespecting this contract can create inner conflict with the plant and may hinder—or even reverse—the healing work that has unfolded.
Please note that every facilitator and shaman has their own contract with the plants. This protocol was created through our direct experience with Rose, in combination with the teachings we have received from indigenous elders, trusted teachers & years of dieta practice.

During Dieta
During dieta, your body, mind, and energy become extremely open and sensitive. These boundaries are
in place to protect the sanctity of your process.
Energy & Boundaries

and if we feel it would support your healing.
No outside contact (loved ones, social media, etc.). Please inform your community that you will be offline
for the 10 days.

when you connect with your creative energy.
Hygiene
Showering is welcome with clean, natural products (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, conditioner). Bonus
points if made with Rose ;) 🌹.
My personal recommendation: avoid products altogether and simply shower/brush with water. This
allows for a deeper merge with the plant (optional, not required).
Food
You will provide your own food. Meals are simple, clean, and eaten once or twice a day. Fasting for a day is optional and can be a powerful act of devotion, deepening your journey with the plant.

What the Days Look Like
We will be available daily to support you. Most of your time will be spent in solitude—a sacred container to go within, build a relationship with Rose, and receive her teachings, healing, and guidance.
You are welcometo spend time in your room or outdoors in the natural beauty surrounding you.
Your journey begins on day one with a limpia, an essential part of the dieta to cleanse and prepare your body to receive Rose.
Upon waking on an empty stomach, you will drink Piñón Colorado seeds, which deeply cleanse the body and energy field. This process is much smoother when the pre-dieta protocols have been followed. After drinking, you will rest in your room for a few hours, allowing the medicine to do its work.
Possible effects vary for each person and may include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, shaking, chills,
temperature changes, or general discomfort.
These are all natural ways the medicine clears your physical and energetic body.
Activities During the Week
Throughout the dieta, we will offer additional practices & tools depending on the flow and what will best
support your healing.
These may include:
Sound baths & light language healing
Breathwork Ceremonies
Feminine Embodiment Workshops
Energy Healing
Plant baths
Meditations
Huachuma Ceremonies
During the 14 days, we will also sit in 3-4 Huachuma ceremonies to help deepen and advance the
healing journey. One in the beginning, middle and end.
The Huachuma cactus comes directly from Chavin (known as birth place of Huachuma) and the
medicine will be cooked with the roses, allowing the two plant spirits to come together as a team to help facilitate your healing. Working with Huachuma is an incredible way to deepen your experience. The two plants unify the sacred heart within, balancing your masculine and feminine energies.
Each ceremony will be a bit different but will contain moments of prayer, solitude, one on one time, meditations and music if you'd like to bring instruments or just your voice!

Medicine for the whole 14 days
Plant baths for Protection and calling in Abundance

Meet your facilitators
Sydney
About five years ago, I reached a breaking point—burnt out from the relentless hustle of being an actress and comedian in Chicago. Juggling multiple jobs, endless auditions, and big projects, I found myselfthinking, There has to be more than this. That realization led me to the Amazon of Peru, where I sat in dieta with Shipibo maestros, working with Ayahuasca. Little did I know, this experience would become the catalyst for the most expansive and liberating era of my life.
I returned from the jungle transformed, with an undeniable knowing that my true purpose was to live, grow, and heal in deep connection with Mother Earth. So, I took the greatest leap of my life—I quit my jobs, left my agency and podcast, sold all my belongings, ended my relationship, and moved to a new country with no plan, only trust.
Now, I reside in the Sacred Valley of Peru where I have undergone my own deep rebirth. Since taking this leap, my path has been one of devotion—learning, training, and immersing in the sacred medicines of the Earth, specifically with Rose and Huachuma. Serving as a bridge to hold a safe space for people to heal & grow with the plants.
I have received extensive training in Shamanic Reiki, Sacred Feminine Alchemy within the lineage of the Rose, Trauma-Informed Breathwork facilitation, Akashic Records, and Plant Medicine Integration. I am currently apprenticing with a native shaman in the Amazon with whom I facilitate dietas with. I am deepening my studies in shamanism & curandera work while learning how to serve the medicine of Huachuma and Ayahuasca through his Incan and Shipibo lineage. I also carry trauma-informed medicine integration training from Aya Healing Retreats. Alongside my own experience with sitting dietas the past 7 years, my blend of western education in plant medicine space with the traditional studies I’m learning from the native elders in Peru allows me to curate and hold a safe space for you to have a profound and clean healing journey with the plants.
My initiation with the spirit of Rose deepened through a powerful dieta—about 3 weeks full of solitude, fasting, and communion with her essence. This journey awakened my inner queen, helping me step into greater leadership for my life, my projects and my service. Through her support I was able to heal my wounds of unworthiness, strengthen my boundaries, deepen my connection with goddesses like Quan Yin & Mary Magdalene, and heal deep ancestral wounds and childhood traumas. It allowed me to step into my power in a way I could have never imagined.
In the end, Rose extended an invitation—to devote my path to her teachings and guide women in awakening through her essence. I humbly accepted, and since then, my work has been devoted to being in service to her wisdom.
My priority is to hold a safe space where all aspects of your feminine are welcome. I invite you to take off your masks, drop the armor, and surrender to the magic that already lives within you. I vow with all that I am that you will be divinely held and cared for as you awaken to the remembrance of who you truly are.
Avalon
Avalon holds a lot of integrity, embodiment and humility as a medicine woman. She has been working,supporting and sitting with different medicines, mainly Ayahuasca and Huachuma for the past 9 years.
You can see the moment the ceremony opens the deep level of mutual respect and honor she and the plants have with each other. She learned how to serve Huachuma with a Peruvian family, who have been holding ceremonies for many years. She has facilitated countless retreats, medicine and diet space with her teachers for the past 9 years. One of her teachers being Nacho, a well respected Ayahuasca Facilitator here in Peru, who she has worked alongside for 7 years.

Other plants include: Piñon Colorado, Noya Rao, Bobinsana, Tobacco, Renaquilla, Ajo Sacha, Bolquiero, Tamamuri, Shihuahuaco, Sequoia, and Oak.
All of the plants she has sat with are her allies and she welcomes these plants into the ceremony to help hold, guide and protect the space.
Additionally, Avalon is a licensed healing touch practitioner and before medicine work, focused this practice with the elderly. She worked at a skilled nursing facility where she administered healing touch to support the transition of the souls of the dying. She is also a vibrational sound therapist and works with the healing power of sound to help people navigate stress, anxiety and restore harmony within the body. She is a Light language practitioner, she sings and speaks in different tongues to support people's individual prayers, helping people release what they are looking to let go of and bringing what they want to manifest.
Her soul mission is to empower people with her voice, especially women.
She holds a lot of wisdom, knowledge and education with the spirit of Rose and Huachuma. She has extensively dieted and worked with the spirit of the Rose and incorporates the teachings, wisdom and blessings of the rose with her offerings.
