I had the opportunity to visit Humanidad twice: first for a month-long diet, and then for two weeks a couple of years later. I found that the support and care I received at Humanidad was firmly grounded in love, respect, and understanding. Both experiences were profoundly transformative. I realized that this process takes time for me; the shorter dieta ended just as I was beginning to delve deeper. In future, I would plan a minimum of a month.
Guillermo’s unwavering commitment, patience with me and guidance with the plant medicines helped me to confront fears and limitations that I could not have overcome alone. The experience and Guillermo’s support was instrumental in what I can only describe as getting my health, sanity
and life back. Joy’s calm, grounding presence during the Kambô sessions was incredible —her quiet strength helped me move through challenging parts with trust and more ease.
The impact of the dietas has been profound and long-lasting. A daily meditation and awareness practice carried over from the first dieta, continues to help me stay grounded and in tune with myself. Without force or struggle, harmful patterns naturally fell away—replaced by ways of living
that is more loving, supportive, and aligned with who I truly am. My relationships, both personal and professional are more open, respectful, and grounded.
I now move through life with greater clarity, balanced energy, and a sense of joy. Ultimately, I discovered a renewed sense of purpose, a deeper connection to nature and what I can only describe as an inner shift that continues to guide and gently unfold.
I am deeply grateful to Guillermo, Joy, and their incredible team!
