Ayahuasca Arizona
Ayahuasca Arizona’s Unique Landscape
Arizona is rich with spiritual and healing energy, from the deserts of Sedona to the mountains of Flagstaff, people in Arizona from all different walks of life are embracing healthy lifestyles and adopting a holistic approach to healing. That, combined with ayahuasca's growing reputation as a powerful tool for transformation, means that Arizona is seeing an influx of those searching for ayahuasca retreats.
Who is Ayahuasca For?
Ayahuasca is for those that a ready to confront all parts of themselves and integrate them into an acceptance that leads to radical self love and growth. It isn’t for thrill-seekers or the casual experimenter. It’s for those who are truly ready to come face to face with their deepest fears, heal from past traumas, and transform their lives. As one participant put it, “Ayahuasca doesn’t show you what you want — it shows you what you need to see.” It’s not uncommon for participants to experience intense emotional purging and vivid visions during ceremonies.
People from all walks of life — entrepreneurs, veterans, therapists, and artists — have turned to ayahuasca for a renewed sense of purpose after other traditional healing modalities have failed. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, or simply feel like you’re stuck in a rut, ayahuasca can offer a path to clarity, healing, and transformation.
What to Expect in an Ayahuasca Arizona Ceremony
One of the most important aspects of any ayahuasca ceremony is the setting. The energy of your surroundings will have the greatest impact on your experience. Because ayahuasca is federally illegal in the United States, it forces those who are offering this sacred ceremony to go ‘underground’ or operate under the umbrella of churches that claim religious exemption. Some of the ayahuasca locations offered in the United States are quite beautiful and appropriate for a retreat, many places have to ‘make-do’ with unconventional ceremony spaces and while its possible to have beneficial and therapeutic experiences in these settings, they’re not ideal healing environments.
The Benefits of Getting Away
Traveling to Costa Rica for an ayahuasca retreat also removes you from the distractions of daily life. In Arizona, you might still feel the pull of responsibilities, work, and stress. But when you travel to a foreign country, you allow yourself to fully unplug. You’re stepping into a new chapter, and that distance from your regular environment creates the mental and emotional space necessary for deeper healing.
Participants who have traveled for ayahuasca often report that the journey itself was part of their transformation. By stepping out of your comfort zone, you're signaling to yourself that you're ready for change. When you arrive at New Life Rising, you're welcomed into a community of like-minded individuals, all committed to their personal growth. It’s this combination of a supportive environment, experienced facilitators, and a new setting that makes an ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica a truly life-changing experience.

At our eco-retreat we are intentional about the relationship we have with the natural world. Ayahuasca, a medicine from the earth, teaches us to value the resources we have and the gifts the earth provides.
While we offer the comforts of air-conditioning and a pool, we do all we can to minimize our impact on the local ecosystem by utilizing recycling practices, turning off lights and A/C when not in use and utilizing natural building materials wherever possible. We can learn a lot by observing our routines and being aware of the impact our consumption has on the earth.

OUR AYAHUASQUEROS
FOLLOWING PERUVIAN TRADITION
Matthew and Jeanae have been working with plant medicine since 2014. They met through ceremonial work and it has been the foundation of their growing love ever since.
Together they have been trained through a powerful lineage of healers in the Peruvian Mestizo traditions going back generations. Matthew and Jeanae are deeply dedicated to their path and continue to grow in their work by traveling to the Amazon every year and completing master plant dietas. These dietas allow them to connect with the great spirits and receive insightful teachings and medicine songs called Icaros. They use these tools and songs in the ceremonies to guide the participants through the Ayahuasca experience.
Matthew possesses a strong intuition and is highly sensitive to energetic subtleties. These skills allow him to adapt the songs of the ceremony to meet the energy needs of the room. Jeanae has a very gentle and nurturing energy. Her singing and flute playing invite softness into the space. Matthew brings a grounded masculine energy while Jeanae brings a motherly feminine energy, creating a perfect balance and play between the two polarities.
To provide responsible ceremonies, we limit our Ayahuasca retreat size to 14 participants so that the energetic space is maintained with respect to each individual's experience. We offer our ayahuasca Costa Rica retreat ceremonies in darkness, promoting an inward journey to heal the soul. Jeanae and Matthew are passionate about this work and lead each ceremony with love, compassion, and a desire to share the beauty of the sacred medicine with all who seek healing.
