PMFT ProgramPsychedelic Medicine Facilitator TrainingPart of Unit 3
After a 4-5 hour hike through a river and up a mountain in the Peru rainforest, you will complete a tobacco juice cleanse, heal with a Master Teacher Plant brew determined by the shaman, and have 4-5 ceremonies of ayahuasca. During the Dieta, you will be completely restricted from consuming salt, sugar, or caffeine in any form. Dieta is more than dieting from certain foods - it is about resetting the body, mind, and spirit by additionally abstaining from many physical activities and interactions that impact our energy weeks before and after the formal Dieta. The full Dieta process is 1 month long.

June 27 - July 11
The published Unit 3 summary says “3 weeks in Peru in July.” The Dieta starts June 27; the shared course ends July 20. The dates and duration are awaiting Althea’s confirmation. Published wording is retained for this review.
This is recommended for PMFT students who have previously experienced an Ayahuasca ceremony and are ready to go deeper into their relationship with healing jungle plants.
Unit 3 · shared course
After completing one of the above options, students will spend 9 days at an indigenous chacra (family home compound) learning how to harvest ayahuasca and chacruna and cook the ayahuasca brew with prayer, song, and intention. At the end, students will prepare and lead their own ayahuasca ceremony with the teachers and facilitators.
