Samhain Dieta – Walking with the Ancestors
29th October – 7th November 2025
Closing date for sign-ups: 26th October
Samhain (HALLOWEEN) marks the ancient Celtic New Year — the midway point between the Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice. It is the time when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest, when the living and the ancestors meet, and when we are invited to honour death, rebirth, and the unseen.
On the Wheel of the Year, Samhain is one of the eight sacred Sabbats — a powerful turning point. It is the final harvest festival, where what is no longer needed is returned to the earth, and we begin the descent into the darkest months of the year. Samhain stands opposite Beltane: together they are the great gates of birth and death, the thresholds of mystery that hold the cycle of life.
This dieta is held with the intention of connecting with our ancestors. In shamanic traditions, Samhain is a time to honour the ones who came before, to seek their wisdom, to release inherited burdens, and to walk with their guidance into the season of shadow. A dieta at this time becomes a lantern for the path: illuminating what is hidden, healing the wounds of our bloodlines, and calling us home to our roots.
🌿 Why Bobinsana at Samhain?
Bobinsana is a master plant of the Amazon, known for opening the heart, softening grief, and helping us listen more deeply to the whispers of spirit. Her medicine is particularly powerful at Samhain, when the voices of the ancestors are closer and the unseen realms are alive with guidance.
Through this dieta you may:
✨ Release ancestral grief and inherited patterns
✨ Strengthen your connection to your lineage and spirit allies
✨ Invite forgiveness and reconciliation with your bloodline
✨ Receive guidance from dreams and visions at this time of the thinning veil
✨ Walk with gentleness, compassion, and clarity as you enter the winter months
📜 What the Dieta Involves
This 10-day online dieta (29th October – 7th November) includes:
🌑 Daily teachings on bobinsana, Samhain, and ancestral connection
🌑 Mantras and invocations to call in and honour your ancestors
🌑 Healing tasks to release inherited burdens and karmic threads
🌑 Reflective tasks for integration, dreamwork, and journaling
You will also receive guidance on holding yourself within the dieta container — food practices, energetic boundaries, and ways to create ancestral altars and sacred space in your home.
🌱 Why Dieta with Me
I have lived and trained in the Amazon for over 25 years, carrying the teachings of the plants, the forest, and the unseen. Bobinsana was the first plant I brought to the West, and she has been my close teacher ever since.
With me you will be held in a safe and sacred container, with both shamanic and therapeutic tools to support your journey. This dieta is an invitation not only to walk with bobinsana, but to step more deeply into relationship with your ancestors, so that you can walk your path with greater clarity, strength, and love.

WHO IS THIS SUITABLE FOR?
No prior experience necessary.
This dieta IS NOT intended to be a psychedelic or purgative experience, however I strongly advise you to stick to dosage recommendations throughout.
Restricting certain foods, drinks and activities is recommended when working closely with Bobinsana, to maximise the benefits you receive and strengthen your connection to the spiritual teaching. The plants view restricting your ‘diet’ as a make of respect and will reward you. The highest recommendation is traditional and looks like this: No pork, no red meat, no alcohol, no sex or masturbation, no processed foods, no sugar, no social media / news, no salt. Lots of fresh foods and veggies, rest, stretching, getting outdoors, deep breathing, mediation and clean water. It remains up to you how much or little you’d like to follow the recommendations. It will not be ‘policed’ and remains between you and the plant.
Amongst the indigenous of Peru, Bobinsana is believed to contain mild contraceptive properties; therefore this diet is not suitable for people trying to conceive.
Disclaimer: It is important to note that the Bobinsana diet is based on traditional indigenous practices and beliefs. While some individuals may find benefits from incorporating plant medicines into their diet, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your diet or wellness routine. Bobinsana is not a replacement for medical care and attention.

WHY DIET UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A TRAINED AND INITIATED SHAMAN, AND NOT ALONE?
Engaging in a shamanic dieta with the Bobinsana plant under the supervision of an experienced shaman is highly recommended for several reasons:
1. Safety: Working with plant medicines can be a powerful and potentially intense experience. An experienced shaman, such as Nancy, can provide a safe and supportive environment, ensuring that the dieta is conducted in a responsible and controlled manner. They can guide individuals through the process, address any challenges or difficulties that may arise, and provide appropriate support and care.
2. Cultural Context: The Bobinsana plant has been traditionally used by indigenous people in the Amazon rainforest for spiritual and healing purposes. Although not indigenous to Peru, Nancy has 24 years of experience in these regions and with native people. She has been initiated on this path and is an ambassador for the plants and shamanic practices. Nancy can provide cultural context and understanding, honouring the traditions and practices associated with the plant. She can also offer insights into the plant’s history, traditional uses and rituals, enhancing the overall experience.
3. Expertise and Experience: Nancy has extensive knowledge and experience working with plant medicines and shamanic practices, and a particularly strong bond with Bobinsana. Nancy was the first to bring the plant to people outside of La Selva and these online dietas are the first of its kind. Nancy received instructions to create these offerings directly from Bobinsana and you are called to be one of the first to undertake a deeply spiritual experience in this way. It’s likely many will attempt to copy this format, bit the original is a divine download and you have felt the call to take part. Nancy understands the nuances of the Bobinsana plant and can provide guidance on dosage, preparation and integration. She can also offer personalised advice and support based on her expertise, ensuring a more effective and meaningful dieta experience.
4. Energetic Support: Shamans are skilled in working with energy and can provide energetic support during the dieta. They can help individuals navigate the energetic shifts and challenges that may arise, ensuring a smoother and more balanced experience. They can also offer energetic healing and protection, enhancing the overall healing and transformative potential of the dieta. Nancy is incredibly skilled in these areas.
5. Integration and Aftercare: A trained shaman can provide guidance and support during the integration phase after the dieta. Nancy can help you process your experiences, integrate the insights gained, and make steps towards necessary changes in your life. She can also offer ongoing support and aftercare, ensuring that the dieta has a lasting and positive impact.
Overall, working with a trained shaman during a Bobinsana dieta can enhance the safety, effectiveness, and overall experience of the journey. It allows individuals to fully benefit from the plant’s wisdom and healing properties while receiving the necessary support and guidance along the way.
