The shamans of the Amazon developed a sacred practice known as the Master Plant Dieta - a deep and devotional process through which one forms a profound bond with the spirit of a plant. It is often likened to a sacred union, a spiritual marriage between human and plant ally. These dietas are powerful portals for transformation, guiding us back into harmony with nature, mending the disconnection many feel in the modern world, and introducing us to lifelong allies in the plant kingdom. Most beautifully, they are accessible to all - no matter where you come from or what path you walk.

This particular journey is a social dieta, meaning it’s woven into the rhythms of daily life - not in isolation, but in communion with the world around us. While these journeys are not always easy, they offer profound and lasting rewards.

In this one-month heart-led exploration, your plant guide, Christie Hanrahan, will hold space for an intimate group of courageous souls as they walk with the wise and loving spirit of Cacao - a master plant of the heart. This noble tree carries the stories of centuries within its being. A gentle yet potent teacher, Cacao invites us to open to deep emotional wisdom, grounded joy, connection, and the quiet power of presence.

Here are some of the teachings Cacao may share along the way...

 

​​

1. Open-Heartedness

• Cacao is widely known as a heart-opener - not just physically (through increased blood flow) but spiritually and emotionally.

2. Presence & Embodiment

• Unlike more visionary master plants, cacao grounds you into your body and the moment.

3. Emotional Alchemy

• Cacao gently encourages emotional release and healing, helping you access long-held emotions in a non-overwhelming way.

4. Inner Joy & Creativity

• Cacao is often paired with movement, dance, art, or journaling because it lights up your inner fire and creative spark.

5. Connection to Earth & Community

• Cacao ceremonies are communal by nature. They foster intimacy and sacred sharing.

6. Deep Listening

• Cacao doesn’t shout. Her medicine is subtle. You have to slow down to feel her wisdom.

7. Harmony Over Force

• Cacao doesn’t push you into visions or breakthroughs - she collaborates with your intention

8. And So Many More

 

We will provide suggest sources if needed, and a complete protocol document with all the details of what we can and cannot eat and do during this process.  This Cacao dieta does not require complete isolation, however, it is advised to have at least some time in the dieta period to be alone so you can really connect with the powerful teachings and transmissions. But you are free to live your life as normal, and Cacao will be there as a partner and guide.

Here’s how the process will work: Beginning on or around Thursday, May 1st, Christie will schedule individual dieta openings with each participant, which happens through the power of song + intention. Then on May 1st, for a total of 5 Thursdays, Christie and the group will meet online to share the magic of what is unfolding. This allows us to learn as much from each other as we are from our sacred plant teacher.

We will provide a protocol document outlining for food instructions and specific details on how to work with Cacao as well. In addition to only eating clean, organic, simple foods, we will all abstain from sexual activities, media, dark energies, and other distractions for the duration of the 3 weeks, and each Thursday at 4 pm PST / 6 pm CST we will meet online to connect, share stories, and learn more about the gifts Cacao has to offer through our vulnerable shares. Christie will hold the diets for all participants, checking in on the connection and listening for messages each morning and night. She will be also be available throughout the process for spontaneous support as needed, because we intend to go deep with this adventure! Diets will be closed individually on or around May 22nd. (Closing days/times are personalized for each participant.)
