Hongos Dieta:

The little saints

6 week shamanic container to deepen

your medicine and healing

with a master plant teacher Hongo. 

Plant Dieta

Plant Dieta is a form of shamanic energy healing and training involving the communion between yourself and a master plant consciousness for an extended period of time, to deepen and build your medicine bundle, and accelerate our healing work and gifting. This November & December, we invite the spirit of the medicinal mushroom to become a powerful ally in our personal healing, awakening, and earth training.
"Cure yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds."

María Sabina

The Medicine of Hongo

The indigenous Huautla Zapotec people in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico, refer to the psilocybin mushrooms as niños santos or "little saints."

Sacred mushrooms have been used ceremonially for centuries, most notably among Indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica. Within the Mazatec tradition, they are known as Niños Santos — “the Little Saints” sacred teachers approached through prayer, reverence, healing, and communion with the Divine.

This dieta is an invitation into a deeper relationship with the Little Saints as teachers of healing, humility, insight, connection, and remembrance of our divine nature.

Each week, we will call upon a saint or holy person from a different spiritual tradition, learning from the wisdom of those who devoted their lives to love, service, prayer, and direct relationship with the divine.

The foundational focus will be the Little Saints and learning to listen to these master teachers our own inner guidance while walking alongside the saints, mystics, and holy ancestors who have illuminated the path before us.

We will close our time together with a microdose ceremony, centered in prayer, communion, and integration.

In the Mazatec and Zapotec traditions, the hongos santos are used to treat a mix of physical and spiritual ailments:

  • Spiritual illness: the core belief is that sickness originates in the spirit; the mushrooms "heal the wounds of the spirit." 
  • Sadness (tristeza) : persistent grief or melancholy 
  • Fright (susto) : a Mesoamerican concept of the soul being "startled" out of the body by a shock or trauma 
  • The evil eye (mal de ojo) : harm believed to be cast by jealousy or envy 
  • Lovesickness: unrequited or destructive romantic attachment 
  • Depression, social anxiety, PTSD and addiction.

They also heal traces of trauma stemming from physical, mental and sexual abuse.

Some loving words from our community

"I wrote a song for our group and for Athena & Jason after our Wednesday ceremony as a way to say thank you. It was a message that came through to speak of what our dieta embodied…maybe of what was felt, learned and most of all pure gratitude for the blessing of knowing you all and sharing such a beautiful space together."

FAQ

Our most commonly asked questions. Please reach out to Earth Temple directly if you have any other inquiries: athenasprayers@gmail.com

  • What is the time commitment? What is expected of me?
    You’ll have the option to join us for a 2-hour live call every Wednesday & Sunday 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. Ikaros are an important healing tool of dieta that supports your energy body.

    All live calls will be recorded for later viewing. The calls would be a 2-4 hour optional 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.
  • When are the live calls?
    Our weekly live calls will be Wednesdays at 2pm PST / 4pm EST, and Sundays at 10:30am PST / 12:30pm EST. The first live call is Wednesday, November 4th, 2026. The last call is Sunday December 13th, 2026. You do not need to make all the calls to benefit from this container. Making one a week is more than enough. You can listen to the recordings for added support if some days don't line up for you.
  • What is your refund policy?
    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.
  • What are Ikaros? Why do I need them in dieta?
    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.
  • Are there any dietary restrictions?
    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.
  • Can I work or travel while in 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, and can be stressful.

    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.
