DIETAS
“Acupuncture for the soul” — that’s how I describe the Tobacco dieta.
This process takes place in solitude, with minimal food to support your inner work. As the dieta opens and deepens, clarity begins to emerge around the patterns and processes happening in your life. Much of the healing happens in the dream space, where the spirit of Tobacco—or a particular tree—begins to teach you through the language of your own experiences.
Tobacco offers strong protection and grounding throughout the 8-day journey, holding you as you move through your inner landscapes.
We commit to experiencing a diet (dieta) when we are ready to deepen our relationship with the plant allies or Master Teachers of the plant world. Different plants have different healing properties and can teach us different things. Every plant can heal specific conditions and also has the ability to teach us about its own unique light. Ultimately all plants are pointing us towards the same truth, that which we are. These plants are teaching us about nature, natural law, ourselves, and our place in this world, and opening us to worlds beyond. Beyond all, they are teaching us to be in harmony, to be at peace, and to live in accordance with Truth, and with Knowledge, and not book knowledge, but experiential knowledge.
The dieta experience is when we go into isolation for a certain amount of time. We allow ourselves to go inwards with the plant ally without any distractions so that we can clear the chaos within and receive the clarity we are seeking.
TOBACCO
Tobacco, or mapacho as it is called in the Amazon, is a sacred medicine of people all throughout the Americas, where it is indigenous to. It is often said that tobacco is the grandfather plant, from which all other plants sprung forth. In the Amazon, tobacco has an almost universe appeal as medicine, spanning most indigenous groups.

TIMMIE KIMBA LARODE
Timmie Larode is a multi-dimensional healer, Tobaquera, and Medicine Woman born in Trinidad and Tobago.
As a young child, she witnessed her mom taking care of the sick people in the village, with her prayers, touch, and spiritual baths. She knew one day she wanted to serve as her mom did. However, coming to America as a teenager shifted that prayer for her until a deep call to serve occurred in 2017. In 2017 she began her part of walking the red road. Offering Shamanic meditation to her friends and the community. She later deepened her healing tools by becoming a shamanic reiki practitioner.
Much of her work is deeply rooted around healing the inner child and healing trauma within the collective, especially for her black and brown relatives. Her work comes with an infusion of Caribbean and African spirituality.
Timmie also serves as a birth doula, spiritual mentor, shamanic practitioner, Reiki practitioner, and intuitive guide.
Timmie is based in Brooklyn, New York, and Peru.
