Here are some words of past participants:
The dieta with Don Bechin and Ále gave me what I asked for. I found myself doing this dieta to help me find clarity in life. It felt like a very personal experience as I was given a tree bark medicine chosen by Maestro especially for my concerns. He took us straight to the tree I was to gain wisdom and insight from. A ceremony and prayers were made right there and the medicine prepared and drunk. It felt very sacred, personal and special. It was an absolute pleasure to see Maestro and his family everyday. Just to see their radiance, love and compassion was medicine in itself. The icaros were powerful and full of intention and wisdom. The medicine was strong and deep acting…powerful as well. Ále was a wonderful support and guide throughout my whole process. Through it all, I felt supported and taken care of. After the initial cleansing and clearing, things shifted for me and I started dreaming a lot, reflecting and gathering up excitement for what was to come. I became clear in what I was here for and what I wanted to do with my life. With acceptance, surrender, flow and gratitude, I came to the realizations necessary for me to embrace this period of my life. The medicine teaches me a lot and continues to guide me throughout this process of life. I finished the dieta feeling relaxed, at peace, objective, clear and excited about this next chapter of my life and what I want to create with it. I am so grateful to Ále, Maestro and his family for helping to guide and support me and for giving me the opportunity to learn and develop my current state of awareness and ease. This is such powerful work and it truly is life changing. It is full of profound wisdom and insights…allowing us to access this from within ourselves. The dieta is a powerful tool that has helped me how to deal with every situation in life with ease and grace. If we can integrate its teachings to our daily lives, then it has done its work and we are truly living from the heart and contributing to making this world a beautiful and loving experience for us all. … Y bueno Aleksandrita, otra vez te agradezco con todo mi corazón por todo lo que hiciste para nosotros, para mi, por tus cantos que me encobijaron de cariño y de amor, que me guiaron en este camino de curación, por tus manos, tus abrazos, por simplemente ser Tú. “My purpose was to clear unexpressed communication and depression. Increase energy and vitality. My purpose was met. Very effective most direct method I have yet experienced. I would recommend this to those who make a committed choice. Takes some maturity, heart (gratitude) to handle and better connect.” “Principle purpose was ‘searching for enlightenment’, but I had no idea or expectation of the process. It helped me reach my purpose. I would recommend this only to those who express an interest in searching truth. The place that was used to conduct the seminar was excellent” – Bryan G. – Calgary, Alberta - March 2010 - Peru “I love it here, food, staff, facilities! Yipee! The price was perfect for me and feel good about offering it to most of my friends. All perfect.” “My principal purpose was to be of service and experience the two things (Enlightenment intensive and Ayahuasca) that have most profoundly impacted my life, together. [Did it help you reach your purpose?] – Oh yes! When the calling is strong step forward! I would recommend this experience to people who feel there is something more than what they see around themselves.” “My principal purpose for attending the workshop was to give me more clarity in life and to release so many limiting beliefs. The space (where workshop was held) was ideal and so beautiful. it was magic. I truly appreciated the sacred space and felt very safe and certainly felt completely cleansed within after the beautiful ceremonies. As it was my first experience with Ayahuasca I was amazed of the clarity that evolved. I would recommend this to anyone who truly wants to seek the truth of who they really are. Thank you so much for such a beautiful week it will definitely reside in my heart forever as it was certainly the most intense Illumination for me, but so worth all the hard work finding out who I am.” Thank you for yesterday, and for this past year. Your guidance has been astounding. I see patterns in how I feel afterwards – one day might be rough, but that is followed by several that are greater. When I look back upon when I met you a year ago, it amazes me how much I have changed. I am so thankful I was led to you. Not only have you reached into my physical ailments, but most importantly, you awakened me from within so I could heal my spiritual ones. Thank you for listening to my heart and teaching me to hear its voice. I am putting your tools into practice and am enjoying the rewards. Giving thanks for your healing gifts. Namaste. You are beautiful… Thank you for your support, you inspire me to be a better person. I had so many teachings last night, and through the weekend. Thank you so much for your offerings of spirit, you have shown me many things that I need to put into practice. I am thankful to the medicine for showing me the way, and eager to put into practice what I have learned, which is SOOOOO many things. Transformation, reverence, intention, and focus to name a few “basics”. My god. I hope that I can repay you in some way, some day. I feel like it will be a lifetime. Thank you so much dear sister. I have such gratitude for the insights and learnings. Many blessings to you and the family in Pisac. Thank you for holding such great light, such profound love and such coeur-age (from the heart en francais) to expand and share this with the world. See u soon
