Oak Dieta | July 2026 » Powered by ThriveCart

To meet the spirit of Oak in dieta is to enter relationship with a teacher of steadiness, rooted strength, self-mastery and high wisdom.

Across cultures, oak has long been associated with:

Stability and deep-rooted resilience
Integrity and inner authority
Protection and boundary-setting
Longevity and patience

Through a focused and intentional container, this dieta invites you into direct communion with Oak as a master teacher, learning from its steadiness, listening to its illuminating wisdom, and allowing its medicine to strengthen you and root you deeply into the earth's embrace.

Rooted Wisdom is a 7-night, 8-day private retreat that includes three nights of Ayahuasca ceremony and guided integration. This is an intimate small group container for up to 8 individuals who wish to work closely with two seasoned practitioners in a deeply held, trauma informed space.

Preparation. You’ll have an individual preparation call to clarify your intentions, review any mental health or physical considerations, and establish the emotional and nervous-system groundwork needed for this level of deep healing. Olivia’s training in counseling psychology, trauma work, embodiment, and psychedelic integration informs the way your inner landscape is prepared and tended to. Adam's background as an ordained Zen Monk and Curandero will inform his prayers, guided meditations, and energetic preparations for you.

Ceremony. You will sit in three ceremonies held by the lineage of the Shipibo curanderas in the Ucayali region of the Amazon jungle. Ceremonies will be infused with Adam’s Zen training and Olivia’s Rose Mystery devotion. Ceremonies with Adam and Olivia are a carefully held journey of initiation, remembrance, and reorientation toward a life that is actually aligned with your heart.

Integration. You will receive integration support on-site plus follow-up integration sessions over Zoom, supporting you to integrate insights into your relationships and daily rhythms. Practices may include meditation, parts work, somatic awareness, and gentle body practices that help your system feel safe enough to truly open.

The Oak tree has a long history of having royal magic and being connected to the Kings and Queens of old. It is a symbol of Protection, Strength, Wisdom, Confidence, Honor and Healing for what seems like forever.   

The Druids, a name which translates to “knower of the Oaks,” have a long standing practice with this Tree's magic and was saw it as a doorway to other realms. Most of our ancestors were in relationship with the Oak as it is by far one of the most widely spread trees on the planet.

This container will have a special focus on:

Ancestral healing. Healing and clearing ancestral curses, beliefs and investigating inherited beliefs that are not in service to your greatest light.
Inner and outer strength. Building confidence and expansion into your leadership energy.

Strengthening clear seeing and communication, especially in difficult situations.
The deeper teachings of what is true power, the shamanic view of power. the misuse of power and the reclamation of power as we reclaim our inner most sacred power from society, relationships, and our beliefs about ourselves.
Identifying blockages and false beliefs and turning them into medicine. And seeing it is often in what we consider our weakest points, lives also our greatest strengths.
Teachings and practices on themes of the shamanic art of Soul retrieval. How to practice or become more skilled in this art.
Sovereignty and our divinity and how this affects Intuitive practice and learning to listen to our inner wisdom.
Rituals and Celebration. Ways to deepen into the ceremony of life.

Undertaking an Oak dieta during an ayahuasca retreat offers a profound opportunity to experience his benevolent energy and teachings in an amplified way.

Oak is a dear friend and plant ally, and we are honored to receive from his transmissions at this retreat — on land where he physically grows.

Adam and Olivia serve ayahuasca with deep respect for Earth Temple’s teachings and the blessing they have received from Maestra Athena Naia to carry this medicine within her lineage.

Their combined backgrounds create a distinct offering that holds the Rose Mysteries, Zen Buddhism, and Ayahuasca together for a synergistic experience which is both grounded and expansive.

Adam | Zen Buddhism & the Way of Clear Seeing

Adam’s path is steeped in Zen practice — years of meditation, inquiry, and learning to sit inside reality as it is. He is an ordained Zen monk and authorized Zen teacher who received transmission in the Light Lineage of the Buddha.

In ceremony, this shows up as a rare steadiness: a capacity to remain calm, present, and uncluttered, even when the internal landscape gets stormy.

Adam holds space with quiet rigor and kindness, helping you to:

Stay anchored in breath and body
Meet intense states without collapsing or bypassing
See through old stories and patterns with clarity, not judgment
Rest in the part of you that is connected to the All
Draw in the power of your own lineages of ancestors, both genetic and spiritual

Olivia | Rose Mysteries, Trauma-Informed Depth Healing

Olivia is a therapist, somatic coach, poet and herbalist. Her work is a blend of depth psychology, trauma-informed care, embodiment, and the mystical heart-path of the Rose.

Through her therapy and coaching practice, she supports people in befriending their inner world: working with parts (IFS), nervous system regulation, and the “felt sense” of the body so that healing happens at a pace your system can actually integrate.

Her Rose lineage work is a devotional relationship with Rose as a master plant teacher and living symbol of the heart path of the great Mother. She has walked this path through her own underworld initiations, and pilgrimages to sacred sites such as Crete and the Magdalen and Black Madonna sites of France.

In ceremony and integration, Olivia brings:

Deep emotional attunement and gentle yet precise guidance
Parts work, inner seasons, and mythic framing to help you understand your process
Body-based practices and trauma-aware pacing to support safety and regulation
Heart practices that allow you to open to both beauty and difficulty of life as sacred
Nurturance as medicine, as seen through her lovingly prepared meals and deep listening

Together, Adam and Olivia create a field where your psyche is not pushed, or overwhelmed, but deeply met, held and invited into relaxing into its own natural unfolding.

In addition to being an Curandero who received the blessing to serve from Athena, Adam is also an ordained Zen monk who received transmission in the Light Lineage of the Buddha and is an authorized Zen teacher. He is also an accomplished videographer, working with light in everything he does.

He effortlessly weaves his plant medicine and Zen lineages in a way that is simultaneously vibrant and grounded. Adam’s devotion to his practice can be felt through his Icaros, guided meditations and healing modalities that he channels.

In addition to private and group sits, Adam is available for shamanic tune-ups, remote dietas and meditation support.

Olivia is a therapist and somatic coach in addition to being an herbalist and poet.

Her expertise is in working with people to befriend themselves, untangle old patterns, find their own inner wisdom, reclaim their intuition and feel more at ease and vibrantly alive in their bodies.

Having traveled through many dark passages of trauma recovery and subsequent spiritual initiations she has come to have an intimacy with the roots of healing and an embodied approach to spirituality.

Olivia is available for therapy and coaching to support your practice as well as one on one guided therapeutic journeys with additional medicines.

Where is this offering located?
The retreat is being held in the mountains of Northern California. If flying, San Jose airport is 30 minutes away and SFO is one hour's drive. The exact location and directions are provided after booking.
Is this suitable for someone new to ayahuasca?
Yes, if there is a clear call and no medical contraindications. The container is intentionally small and includes robust preparation and integration, which is particularly supportive for first-time drinkers.
Do I need prior meditation or spiritual experience?
No specific background is required. Adam and Olivia will meet you where you are and offer practices that are accessible wherever you are at on your journey.
What ayahuasca lineage do you work with?
Adam and Olivia serve within the lineage of their teacher, Curandera Athena Naia, who carries the Shipibo Mahua lineage of the Peruvian Amazon. Athena has spent over 15 years immersed in traditional healing and shamanic arts.

Athena trained for many years in the Shipibo Mahua lineage, and has learned under Shipibo maestras such as Maestra Amelia Ronen and Maestra Manuela Mahua.

Adam and Olivia carry this lineage with immense respect, having received Athena’s blessing to serve ayahuasca within the integrity, safety, and ceremonial frameworks she upholds. They have a combined 22 years of experience on the medicine path.

Their offering honors the Shipibo traditions while integrating their own paths of Zen Buddhism, trauma-informed care, and the Rose mysteries.
Are there any dietary restrictions?
Preparing for Ayahuasca 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 your space holders directly with clarification questions.
What is the preparation like?
You’ll have 1–2 prep calls to explore intentions, personal history, and any health concerns. You’ll also receive guidance on dieta, emotional preparation, and how to support your nervous system before ceremony.
What does integration support look like?
You will have access to Adam and Olivia's support during the retreat itself, with integration circles after each sit, as well as one full day of on-site integration. After the retreat, you’ll have scheduled integration calls with Adam and Olivia to unpack your experience, understand insights, and translate them into real-life changes. You’ll also have a window of time for private messaging support for questions or wobblier moments.
Are there any medical or psychological contraindications?
Yes. Certain medications, heart conditions, and psychiatric diagnoses may be contraindicated with ayahuasca. This is always reviewed in detail during the intake and preparation process. If needed, they may consult with your existing care providers or refer you to alternative support.
Can couples attend together?
Yes. And they are highly encouraged. Adam and Olivia view their own partnership as the cornerstone of their spiritual practice and love with couples. Their devotion to the spirit of Love transmits a frequency that many have commented on as helping them refine their own relating. Additionally couples often find that sitting together increases their love and connection and sometimes allows old patterns to surface in a context where they can be lovingly worked through, with support, rather than acted out.
