BOBINSANA
Native to The Amazon rainforest, Bobinsana is usually served in the form of a tea.
This generous and loving plant offers physical healing as well as restoring a sense of calm, space to reflect and grounding. This is an incredible heart opener; it’s believed that the spirit of this Bobinsana can provide comfort to those experiencing loss, heartbreak or grief.
While not a psychoactive, many (including me) have experienced an opening to stronger connection with other realms, enhanced spiritual abilities and fortification of intuition while working with Bobinsana. Not commonly available outside of the jungle, this is your chance to experience sitting with this wonderful master plant teacher.
A Bobinsana Ceremony or dieta can be very supportive at any time in your life. This is a great way to get to know plant medicines and traditional Shamanic practices. If you’re considering coming to a dieta with us, this can be a good place to start because we offer Bobinsana on our 10 day retreats to help with the process.
“Nancy uses her own, home-made Bobinsana, a plant that is a master and teacher in the Amazon, and not usually available outside of the rainforest. This is your chance to experience sitting with this wonderful plant spirit. She not only offers anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, grounding, calmness, and a sense of peace, but also helps to clear away what isn’t serving you in the forms of beliefs, patterns and behaviours. With her feminine energy, the spirit of this plant can provide comfort regarding matters of the heart and so much more. Bobinsana is also known for bridging a stronger connection with spiritual realms, enhancing innate abilities and refocussing / strengthening intuition.”
CACAO
Cacao is considered to be the medicine of the heart and can help you powerfully move through pain or blocks around processing emotions, trauma, grieving and also fo general wellbeing. .
Some people report feeling calmer, clearer and lighter, as well as de-stressed energised and in better health after working with Cacao in sacred ways. I only use raw, ceremonial grade Cacao, homegrown and wild from where we hold ceremonies in the Amazon.
A Cacao Ceremony is a great way to get to know plant medicines and acquaint yourself with traditional Shamanic practices. If you’re considering coming to a dieta with us, this can be a good place to start.
Equally, if you are looking to integrate post working with other plant medicines, Cacao can be really supportive in that.
“Nancy grows and makes her own ceremonial cacao that is not available elsewhere. Cacao is well known for being full of antioxidants, serotonin, magnesium and theobromine, all adding up to helping the body on many levels! Long used by Peruvian natives, Cacao can help you dive deeply into any areas you want to heal.”
BLUE LOTUS
Not native to The Amazon but I work with this plant nonetheless, Blue Lotus is a powerhouse of heath benefits when used correctly.
I offer this plant because she came to me in visions and I believe that she holds many of the keys to unlock an essential part of humanities awakening process.
Ancient cultures used the Blue Lotus to enhance psychic abilities and bring on visions, though you need to consume very large amounts to reach extremely elevated states.
It’s been used as a traditional medicine for thousands of years as a natural aphrodisiac, pain reliever, sleep aid, anxiety reliever and for sexual impotence. While not dangerous, Blue Lotus is not suitable for everyone and should only be used under the guidance of an experienced practitioner.
“Another ancient medicinal plant, the Blue Lotus brings many gifts in a ceremonial setting. Like Bobinsana, Blue Lotus can also help improve sleep, lower anxiety levels, enhance mood and connect you to higher states of being. She is also known for her natural aphrodisiac, anti-bacterial, balance blood sugar and pain-relieving qualities. When consumed in large quantities mild hallucinations can occur, but you will not be reaching these amounts in this ceremony, you’ll receive exactly the right dose to be able connect with the spirit of the plant to go on your personal journey.”
