A Profound and Sacred Healing Experience

I spent a month at Reshin Nika for a master plant dieta, and I left feeling deeply grateful for the experience, the plants, Maestro Reshin Nika, and the Shipibo lineage he carries.

The center is beautifully located outside Pucallpa, surrounded by the Amazon and the natural simplicity of indigenous life. The facilities were remarkable for such a remote location, and my casita gave me a peaceful, private space to rest, reflect, and allow the healing to unfold.

My work with the plants and ceremonies was powerful and deeply transformative. I experienced healing on emotional, physical, energetic, and spiritual levels that touched places within me that I had been carrying for many years. Reshin’s Icaros and traditional practices created a sacred container where I could surrender more deeply to the process.

Because indigenous families live on these lands, occasionally there is a wedding or local celebration, or spiritual, festive music or a man speaking over an intercom in the distance or sometimes nearby, It never lasted long and never bothered me—in fact, I genuinely enjoyed the music. It felt like being welcomed into a living community rather than staying in an isolated retreat bubble.

I am especially grateful for Reshin’s dedication to his tradition and the wisdom he carries from his lineage. My month there reminded me that healing is not always something we can force or understand—it is something we sometimes have to become quiet enough to receive.

I left feeling lighter, renewed, uplifted, and deeply transformed—almost as though I had been given a new beginning. I carry with me profound gratitude and respect for Reshin, the sacred plants, the forest, and the beautiful tradition and lineage he continues to honor and preserve.
