Master Plant Dieta Peru at Mokapari Nete

At Mokapari Nete, the dieta is held as real Shipibo healing work, not as a wellness retreat experience. The center is simple, family-run, and handled by the people who have been carrying the tradition across generations. You come here to enter a relationship with a master plant inside a safe container, and receive the healing and guidance of your plant through the power of the maestros.

Do You Drink Ayahuasca During a Dieta?

Yes, if you choose to. Ayahuasca is received on ceremony nights to deepen your connection with the master plant. The maestro uses Ayahuasca to open perception, clean and align your energy, and to sing ícaros that carry the teaching of your specific plant. You can also choose to join the ceremony without drinking Ayahuasca; your plant will still work with you, and the Maestro will still work with what you need during the ceremony. There are five ceremonies for a 2-week dieta, and two for a 1-week dieta.  The focus remains the relationship with your plant, not chasing peak experiences.

How Does a Dieta Differs From an Ayahuasca Retreat?

During a Master Plant Dieta, you also receive Ayahuasca, but that is for you to connect more with your Master Plant.

  • Relationship > Experience. Not “one big ceremony,” but letting a plant form a relationship with you over days and nights.
  • A Lifetime Ally. Completing a Master Plant Dieta bonds you with your plant as a lifelong ally. Drinking Ayahuasca alone doesn’t create the same bond.
  • Personalized work. The Maestro assigns your plant ally and sings ícaros for your process. Care is individual, not one-size-fits-all.
  • Simplicity on purpose. Humble rooms, clean food, silence, plant baths/steams to soften ego and open body & spirit to listening.
  • Integration matters even more. Integration is widely known as one the most important aspect of plant work, and with the Dieta, it is even more crucial.

From Maestro Pervis (Spanish → English):

“Lo más importante es dietar y recibir el poder de las plantas; después, la ayahuasca trabaja en nuestro espíritu y en nuestro cuerpo.”
The most important thing is to diet and receive the power of the plants; afterward, ayahuasca works in our spirit and in our body.

To learn more about this vast topic, you can watch this interview with Maestro Pervis:

What Can You Expect from a Master Plant Dieta?

In the Shipibo tradition, a Dieta can help you with almost anything: from healing physical/emotional pain, to energy/spiritual healing, finding love, strength, and much more.

Every Dieta is unique; it depends on you and the plants you’re dieting with, and most of all on what you truly ask of your Master Plant.

What you receive also reflects what you give: the more dedication and the more closely you follow the guidance, the deeper the change.

Teachings from your master plant are often subtle at first and profound over time.

Everything mentioned on this page isn’t medical treatment. It’s traditional spiritual work, guided by the Maestro and your relationship with your master plant.

Life at Mokapari Nete

Mokapari Nete is a small Shipibo family-run center near Pucallpa, held by Maestro Pervis Urquia and his family.

  • Simple living. Wooden rooms, simple meals, open air, forest paths, and a rhythm that supports the dieta.
  • A quiet setting. This is an intimate place for seekers seeking deeper truths and healing, held by nature.
  • Real human care. The center is held by the maestro’s family; there’s no westernization or wellness-retreat branding.

Why I Partner With Mokapari Nete

I arrived at Mokapari Nete through a series of synchronicities, from dreams to “random” events and meetings, that eventually led me to the center when I was seeking healing for myself. At that time, I was carrying deep trauma that was affecting every area of my life, and what I found there was real help, done with humility and a pure heart.

My relationship with Maestro Pervis grew from that point. Over time, I came to feel that I had found my Shipibo maestro, and that relationship opened into a gradual Shipibo apprenticeship and a deeper commitment to the plants and the path they carry.

This partnership also became clear from both sides. As I felt called to help share a deeper understanding of the dieta with the world, Maestro Pervis was also asking how to help the center serve the right people. What became clear was that Mokapari Nete needed a bridge, and that this was the role the plants asked me to take. I gladly accepted.

My role is to help protect the meaning of the dieta, help you approach it in the best way, and help the right people find their way to a center and a maestro who has helped transform my life. I know in real life and trust deeply.

Maestro Pervis Urquia

Shipibo healer with 20+ years of service. Taught by his uncles (maestro healers Esteban and Cecilio), later invited by Maestra Inés López to work for a decade at Noya Rao Xobo. With the support of friends and patients, he founded Mokapari Nete near Pucallpa, where he receives individuals who wish to engage in a real Master Plant Dieta that follows the Shipibo tradition in all of its aspects.

Maestro Isamani

Portrait of Maestro Isamani at Mokapari Nete

Shipibo healer with 50+ years of experience. To acquire his healing powers, he engaged in a 5.5-year-long dieta, dieting all plants simultaneously. This is unheard of, as the amount of strength and will to do this is incomprehensible. This, in turn, enabled him to become an extremely powerful healer with a kind heart.
