Noya Rao Visionary Art Dieta

This unique retreat bridges the sacred practice of Master Plant Dieta with visionary art classes and workshops, held in deep relationship with the spirit of Noya Rao, the Tree of Light. Guided by respected Shipibo maestros and a master visionary artist LUIS TAMANI, you’ll explore art as a spiritual tool, through observation, practice, and ceremony, within a culturally rooted container.

For many of us, creativity has been muted by fear, perfectionism, or comparison. This immersion offers a gentle path to reclaim your creative voice and translate visions into form. Through mindful, embodied art practices you’ll dissolve limiting beliefs, refine technique, and reconnect with authentic expression.

In Shipibo tradition, song and pattern are bridges between the human and plant worlds. Within a traditional dieta, the student enters into sacred relationship with the plant spirit—receiving guidance through visions, melodies (ícaros), and patterns. As the dieta deepens, images, forms, and colors often arrive as teachings. Your studio practice becomes prayer, and your artwork a vessel for communion and integration.

To support your journey, you’ll receive daily guidance in sketching, composition, color, and visionary techniques, paired with meditation, breath, and integration practices.

No formal art background is required—only a willingness to observe deeply, practice with humility, and let Spirit move through your hands.

Together with Luis, we are also joined by MAXIM, whose work honors the body as a living vessel of wisdom. Maxim weaves movement, breathwork, and art to invite profound embodiment. Through intentional dance, guided meditation, and creative expression, participants are gently led back to the essence of their being, integrating what is revealed in dieta and ceremony into the body and daily life.
