It’s been incredibly joyful and expansive to reconnect deeply with Indricana (Cannabis) this past month. Over the past few years I’ve been holding dietas with this miraculous plant but this year she has come in full force to make her presence and gifts felt. I’ll add here that Indricana is the name we call Cannabis.  It’s the name she gave me and it’s stuck for us ever since.

A master plant diet is a sacred process of communion with a plant or tree practiced by many Amazonian tribes and their healers.

Done with the purpose of learning to become a curandero or prescribed to a patient as a process of healing, more often than not, dieting a plant involves a combination of learning and healing. Beyond the chemical compounds the plant offers through consumption, a master plant dieta allows us to merge consciousness with a plant and experience its traits and energetic signature.
