You’ll have the option to join us for a 2-hour live call every Sunday and Wednesday for 6 weeks.

These calls are not mandatory, though they certainly help to dieta process. If you can make one call a week, that would be ideal to receive the Ikaros from Athena. Two is completely optional. All live calls will be recorded for later viewing. The calls would be a 2-4 hour commitment every week.

Outside of the calls, setting aside time to be with your dieta means more walks in nature, more time with water, time contemplating and taking care of yourself in various simple and therapeutic ways. This is a time commitment that varies that you would ideally have available to you when entering dieta to get the most out of it.

Our weekly live calls will be Wednesdays at 2pm PST / 5pm EST, and Sundays at 10:30am PST / 1:30pm EST. The first live call is Tuesday, April 23, 2025. The last call is June 4, 2025.

Given the nature of shamanic work, we encourage full participation to unlock the program's maximum benefits. By committing to this journey, you honor the value of the experience and allow the process to unfold in its entirety. We do not offer refunds. If you have any concerns or challenges, please reach out to us. We are here to support you and will work together to find a solution that supports you.

Ikaros are an energy channelling and direct transmission of plant healing through song and voice in the Shipibo language. They are the songs you hear most often in Shipibo Ayahuasca ceremonies. Ikaros support plant dietas immensely, and act as energetic tune-ups and clearings, and are an integral part of the healing and strengthening process with dieta.

We encourage participants of dieta to come to live calls and listen to the recordings not only to benefit from the teachings and wisdom from the space holders, but even if just to listen to the Ikaros.

The practice of plant dieta does require a monastic lifestyle that includes adjustments to ones spiritual, psychological, and physical habits.

Removing certain foods and habits is to become more attuned to the subtle energy field of life, and the teachings of a particular plant teacher to support you and those around you in your life.

This includes a particular list of foods to eliminate from your diet, as well as certain consumptive patterns and exposures to avoid such as alcohol, drugs, porn, sex, masturbation, pork, beef, dairy, coffee, sugars, oils, salt etc.

Upon registering, you will receive a detailed guideline for your dieta preparation protocol. You can always reach out to our organizer with clarification questions.

Athena is a bit more flexible with dieta protocols than other practitioners, and encourages one to self-monitor indulgence patterns to maintain as much as possible, a strong diet with few distraction and habits from regular life. There's no pass/fail of dieta. The push and pull of one's cravings and behaviours become points of awareness and teachings that benefit you whether or not you are strict with dieta.

Unlike in-person isolation dietas, remote social dietas allow you to integrate in live time. Yes you can continue working your job in a remote dieta, and most do.

Many participants have and do also travel in dieta, though it's not as ideal as deepening in your own space. Exposing oneself to excessive stress and stimulus in the world, and foods that are not dieta-friendly takes away from the depth of the experience.

Participants can certainly work, but because of the openness of your energy field during dieta, its important to have ample time to yourself to process. Having the ability to approach work with more sensitivity to your emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs is only going to support your dieta.
