Shipibo Foundations · Module 6: The Medicine World · Lesson 5 of 6

Sama — the dieta in its own words

Sama: master-plant dieta, energetic mastery, connection with plant teachers — or simply a period of fasting. The verb: samati, to diet, to fast. In medicine speech the dieta has architecture: sama nete, its worlds; sama paro, its river; sama xobo, its house; sama tari, its clothing — the dieter is dressed in the dieta.

Culture note. Every significant plant has its ibo — its owner. One asks before taking. That single fact — plants as subjects with owners, not substances — is the deepest thing this module teaches.
