A 9-Day Journey with Nettle
Coming Home to the Body this Spring…
As the land blossoms, so too can we.
Join us for a deeply nourishing 9-day immersive dieta designed to support the body, mind and spirit in the gentle release of winter and the welcome of spring.
Guided by the powerful yet humble plant ally Nettle, we’ll journey together through practices of devotion, discipline and sacred self-care.
This dieta invites you to simplify, soften, and awaken. Cleansing not only your body, but also your energy, your thoughts, your patterns.
This is not a fast. This is not punishment. This is a return.
Key Dates & Flow
- Free to attend – Intro/Q&A Call and Medicine Talk: Wednesday 6th May 8 PM

Why Nettle?
Nettle is a tonic of strength, protection, and deep nourishment. It is practical and grounded. It also grows abundantly on these lands in the Spring, so my hope is that you connect with that abundance and forage/collect yourself!
Nettle clears, energises, and restores. She is rich in iron, calcium, magnesium and deep spring medicine, inviting vitality and grounded renewal after the winter’s inward pull.
- Supports blood purification and kidney function
- High in minerals to strengthen and nourish the body
- Known for anti-inflammatory and allergy-reducing properties
- Energetically connected to boundaries, resilience and embodiment
You’ll be supported with suggestions on how to work with nettle physically and energetically. For example as a tea, infusion, in ritual, as simple altar offerings. As well as the opportunity to learn about more science, distillation methods and creations, like hydrosols, sprays. Being able to weave the magic of nettle into many aspects of your life!
The Dieta Path
This is a journey of devotion. Each day we:
- Cleanse the body through ancestral dietary simplification
- Slow the mind through daily ritual, journaling and reflection
- Reclaim our energy from overstimulation, digital noise and depletion
- Welcome plant wisdom to walk alongside us as teacher, mirror and guide
This is about commitment. About creating space. About saying yes to the you that wants to feel well, rested, held and whole.
You are not alone. You’ll be journeying in a supportive WhatsApp container with others walking this path, sharing insight and encouragement.
What is a Dieta?
A dieta is a sacred pause. A seasonal reset. It is a time to step out of habits and autopilot and into conscious devotion to the self.
Rooted in ancestral and shamanic traditions, a dieta combines the power of plant allies with the discipline of simplification. We remove what dulls and distracts, so we can hear what is true, feel what is real, and remember what matters.
The dieta helps illuminate what’s no longer serving us, whether in the body, mind, or heart. And gently walks us toward clarity and renewal.
To read more about the concept of dieta, how I weave them into life and into my work, and how I came to share them as a practice for groups please read this blog post I wrote a while ago.

Practical Guidance & Additional Considerations
Dietary Simplifications
During the dieta, we focus on stripping back to whole, nourishing foods inspired by ancestral diets. This includes:
- Eliminating processed foods, refined/processed sugar, caffeine, alcohol, fizzy drinks and all additives.
- Invitations to explore additional shifts, such as reducing gluten, processed dairy, or experimenting with intermittent fasting (only if it feels supportive).
Our ‘diet’ isn’t just about what we eat, it’s about all we consume.
We’ll explore practices to:
- Reduce screen time and digital overwhelm
- Prioritise hydration and rest
- Reclaim attention from the scattered to the sacred
This is not rigid or dogmatic. You will be guided, not told.
You will be supported to make the choices that serve you, in the life you live.
Creating Your Sacred Space
Prepare an altar or dedicated space for your daily devotion and ritual aspect of the Dieta. Including items that feel meaningful, candles, feathers, stones, photos, sacred texts.
This space will anchor your daily practice. A place to return to yourself. To breathe. To be. To remember.
