Bobinsana & Noyá Ráo 

Dieta

June 6th - 29th, Ojai, CA

(WEEKEND RETREATS ARE FULL, BUT WE STILL HAVE SEATS IN OUR ONLINE BOBINSANA DIETA CONTAINER)

We are very happy to invite you into a 21-day urban dieta container to diet an Amazonian master plant, Bobinsana or Noyá Ráo.

A Master Plant Sama (Dieta):  

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.

About the event

21-Day (Urban) Bobinsana Dieta in the Mahua Family Tradition of Shipibo Healers
-- Led by Robin & Alicia York

 

Dieting Bobinsana

Dieting Bobinsana is a bit like coming home. This plant embodies the qualities of play, love, and acceptance that many of us innately experienced in our early years while playing in nature. It offers a heart-opening experience that invites a purification of the emotions.

At times, it also represents the need to break open old protective layers, cracking the shell of our defenses to let more love and joy in. This plant spirit confronts us with the ways we may not be fully present or showing up for life, in turn helping to heal the resonance of addiction that often serves as a method of dissociation.

Bobinsana ignites creativity and nurtures profound compassion for oneself and others, encouraging a recommitment to showing up fully and sharing one's gifts with the world. This journey is one of healing and liberation, releasing old wounds, traumas, and blockages, and inviting deeper realms of meditation and prayer through a connection with the spirit of Bobinsana.

Healing Benefits:
• Nervous System Reset: Provides relief from depression and anxiety, cultivating a state of calm, clarity, and groundedness.
• Creative Flow: Unlocks your creative energy and aligns you with your authentic nature and spiritual purpose.
• Emotional Purification: Encourages a deeper presence and a heart-opening process of healing, supported by a nurturing urban dieta container of fellow dieteros.

Noyá Ráo

Noyá Ráo is considered one of the most powerful Master Plant (tree) dietas. It’s important to consider the magnitude of its healing power when choosing this dieta. If there isn’t sufficient space to honor the profound learning this tree offers, it may be better to stick to Bobinsana.

Robin has been dieting Noyá Ráo for the past decade with his teachers in the jungle and preparing himself to carry the high frequency of this sacred tree of light. He has received the blessings of his teachers, Papa Gilberto Mahua as well Maestra Manuela Mahua to offer dieta to his community. 

When undertaking aNoyá Ráo dieta, be prepared to untangle the core substance of your own truth. This tree is often called both the “Tree of Light” and the “Camino a la Verdad.” It is both a tree of illumination and a path to truth. Many get seduced by the desire to acquire the mystical qualities of this tree through its bioluminescent leaves. This tree teaches us that our salvation lies not only in purely becoming light, but in illuminating that which remains cloaked in the shadows. This dieta invites a deep clarity that emerges from a journey of profound self-examination. This tree glows as a result of being part of a living ecosystem and its wisdom shows us that we, too, are part of something greater.

If you choose to diet with this tree, be prepared to have your world and relationships come alive. The process can be both magical and challenging, as you may be asked to make changes, revisit old beliefs and stories, and integrate new ways of approaching life.

Healing benefits:

• Psychic healing: Repairs the nervous system.

• Enhances intuition: It connects you to what is calling you forward. Often, to hear what is calling, you must first get clear on which of your voices are masquerading as intuition. Upon closer reflection, Noya Rao will reveal to you the root of your fears and inner blockages so that you can access your authentic nature.

Please note: If you are interested in dietingNoyá Ráo, you must have dieted Bobinsana with Robin and Alicia in preparation for this strong master tree dieta, or have dieted Bobinsana before or already carry a Noyá Ráo Dieta.

The Integrative Journey of this Dieta

Throughout this urban Dieta, we have integrated a body of work focused on the deep, healing, and transformative power of forgiveness—an essential element of both inner awakening and our collective journey toward wholeness.

True forgiveness begins with the quiet acceptance of oneself—a compassionate confrontation with the beautiful imperfection that is our nature. It is not enough to merely hold the thought of forgiveness. We are called to step boldly into the terrain of our inner victim, perpetrator, and rescuer, rewriting the stories that have long kept us bound to our past wounds. This transformative work is a roadmap for healing, inviting us to re-visit and gently release the karmic ties and deep-seated beliefs that have reinforced old patterns of suffering.

Through thoughtful journaling and reflective exercises that will be led by Alicia Marie, you will compose a personal letter of forgiveness. A cathartic, soul-to-soul dialogue that is not meant to be sent to anyone, but serves as a sacred conversation between who you are, who you aspire to become and perhaps someone whom you have yet to make peace with. With each word, you dismantle the lingering tendrils of unresolved hurt, allowing a resilient inner light to emerge—like the flower that blossoms in the shade, quietly reclaiming its space.

This practice of forgiveness is both deeply personal and inherently communal—a devotional act that becomes a collective prayer for healing. It calls upon us to embrace compassion and empathy for ourselves and others, transforming each moment into an opportunity for inner liberation. As the plant spirits gently remind us of life’s interconnectedness, forgiveness unfolds as a quiet act of liberation and a courageous return to the self. In doing so, we reclaim our personal power and pave the way for a more expansive, radiant future.

Embrace this invitation to journey into self-forgiveness and extend forgiveness to others—a practice that transforms individual lives and reshapes the very fabric of our shared human experience.

To support our Dieta container, we will assign selected readings that will be discussed during our weekly check-ins and Robin will also chant to the group. The dieta will be closed in ceremony on Saturday night of the second weekend.

We work in an intimate setting where each participant receives a highly personalized, ceremonial experience. As part of our preparation, we do two pre-ceremony, intention-setting calls. The first one is an intuitive session with Alicia and the second one is an intention-setting call with Robin.

 Testimonials

 I have now attended four retreats with Robin and Alicia, and I could not feel more lucky to be able to work with them. The different gifts they each possess allow them to see individuals in their unique light. They hold space to help process those things we all have hidden within us in order for us to self-actualize.

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.

 — Lynn C.

Everything was leading up to this and now I have a duty to take it forward and make the best of it that I can. That this longing for more wasn’t for more of the pleasures of earth, it was for more love, more light, more knowledge.

Robin and Alicia are real family to me now. They exemplify what it means to be on this path, to really work on yourself, to be willing to go there, to face the hard things, the challenges and to come out stronger. 

             — Jerrod B.
 

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.

 — Meggie S.

The retreat helped me to see my truth and live my truth by showing me hidden things that needed attention, - and where I still need to do some homework."
