AYAHUASCA RETREATS
A
GLIMPSE INTO
A GREATER TRUTH
Ayahuasca Retreats in Costa Rica
Over a decade of Experience
At New Life Rising, we provide all-inclusive retreats in the stunning setting of Costa Rica. Our programs range from 5 to 7 days and include 2 or 3 traditional ayahuasca ceremonies, along with holistic practices like yoga, massage, and nature therapy.
Our experienced ayahuasqueros, Matthew and Jeanae, guide each participant through the ceremony using traditional songs called Icaros. Matthew and Jeanae participate in every ceremony, drinking ayahuasca alongside the group to ensure the flow of the ceremony aligns with the collective energy. Each ceremony is further supported by two facilitators—one male and one female—ensuring balanced and attentive care for everyone involved. This approach helps create a safe, supportive environment for the participants.
Ayahuasca retreats have gained worldwide popularity, with thousands of individuals seeking this transformative experience daily. The therapeutic benefits of ayahuasca are now being recognized more widely, as its potential for healing and spiritual growth becomes more accepted. Ayahuasca retreats offer participants an opportunity to gain a fresh perspective on life. This sacred plant medicine helps individuals heal from deep within, facilitating the release of past traumas and emotional wounds, guiding them toward wholeness and personal growth.
ALL CAPS TITLE
RETREAT SCHEDULE
Experience a transformative ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica with New Life Ayahuasca. Our year-round all-inclusive ayahuasca retreats provide a unique opportunity to explore healing and self-discovery through traditional ayahuasca ceremonies, plant medicine healing workshops and integrative yoga classes.
CEREMONIES
The goal of the ceremonies and our ayahuasca retreats is to create a therapeutic atmosphere that encourages each participant to explore and journey within themselves, confront the darkness, and embrace the light. It is only through this duality and embracing all parts of ourselves that we can truly know ourselves and find balance.
Matthew and Jeanae lead all of our ceremonies with the assistance of 2 other facilitators. Matthew has been involved with plant medicine since 2011, first with Iboga in Mexico on HBO's VICE and then again in Costa Rica. In 2014 he and Jeanae felt called to work more intimately with ayahuasca and started traveling to Peru, completing plant medicine dietas under the guidance of their teacher, famed shaman Don Ron Wheelock. Together they have participated in hundreds of ceremonies and have evolved into strong and compassionate ceremonial facilitators. They strives to create a safe healing environment for all our participants.
Our ceremonies are based on the Peruvian traditions, are performed in darkness, and are guided by Icaros, or medicine songs. Each ceremony begins with cleansing rituals to prepare the space. From there, the night is guided through Matthew's powerful Icaros along accompanied by a variety of other instruments. Ceremonies last about 3 - 4 hours.
Matthew and Jeanae drink the brew at every ceremony with the group so he can navigate the energy of the room.

WHY CHOOSE US?
AN INCLUSIVE CENTER FOR HEALING
Hi! We are Jeanae and Matthew, owners of NLA. We have both experienced remarkable life transformations through our work with ayahuasca. We both came from backgrounds of addiction, depression, trauma, and an overwhelming feeling of being lost, like something, was missing. Finally, after many failed attempts through traditional modalities, we were able to gain a new perspective on life and realize deep healing through plant medicine. It is with this humble respect and gratitude for ayahuasca that we have created a program for others seeking to find balance in life.
New Life Ayahuasca offers 5 or 7 day ayahuasca retreats in Italy and Costa Rica. We work to provide a safe spiritual environment that promotes healing during your stay. We have felt the profound effects of this medicine and have made it our mission to help others on their journey to spiritual and personal growth.

Ayahuasca retreats can be beneficial for anyone, so long as the desire is there. Regardless of an individual's background, an ayahuasca experience can bring about intense emotions and revelations that can lead to a better life. The only thing you need is an open mind and the intention to have an experience that can enhance your spirituality and awareness of life and all that surrounds us.
An ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica can change your perception of life and all that exists. Many users report a renewed passion for life, an appreciation for nature, and a greater understanding of the ways in which all things are connected.
In more recent years, ayahuasca has been studied for its unique ability to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. Because of the ways ayahuasca can offer renewed perspectives of life, users are able to see a path forward that had previously been veiled. This shift in mindset provides an opportunity to reflect on past experiences/traumas/histories in a different light and from a place of peace
