Ayahuasca Costa Rica

Ayahuasca Costa Rica – A Growing Spiritual Movement

In the last decade, awareness of the healing properties of ayahuasca has been growing all over the world but particularly in Costa Rica, where the gorgeous landscape, nature immersion and 'pura vida' lifestyle all lend themselves to creating the perfect healing environment.


This powerful plant medicine, celebrated for its transformative effects, has been used for centuries by indigenous healers in the Amazon region of South America to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and, most importantly, to foster spiritual growth and enlightenment.


New Life Rising has been offering retreats in Costa Rica for over 10 years, and during that time we've seen wellness tourism explode as hundreds of retreats have opened offering a variety of holistic treatments that promote overall health and wellness.


Ayahuasca in Costa Rica now attracts thousands of individuals seeking profound mind, body, and spirit transformation. This isn’t a passing trend; it’s part of a global movement toward awakening and more conscious living. For safety and well-being, ayahuasca should only be administered by experienced, trained guides who honor the tradition and its healing potential.


Who can benefit from Ayahuasca Costa Rica?

Ayahuasca isn’t for everyone — it’s for those who are ready. Ayahuasca is not fun, it’s takes you through a journey of harsh truths, darkness and confrontation before delivering you to a place of clarity and understanding. It’s no walk in the park, and those interested in the benefits of ayahuasca should be prepared to go through some difficult and scary moments. Healing work is rarely easy, and ayahuasca is no exception, but the reward of courage and commitment it takes is profound.


Participants of ayahuasca ceremonies often report a renewed appreciation for life, seeing with a fresh perspective after having insightful visions or emotional releases. You will have the opportunity to integrate all parts of yourself so that you can find the deepest levels of self-love and reach your full potential.


Why Location Matters: Ayahuasca in Costa Rica

Attending a retreat outside your comfort zone greatly enhance the experience and healing you are able to receive. Getting away from your routine and familiarity can help you fully immerse in the experience, letting go of everyday stress and anxiety while shifting your focus completely to your healing and the ayahuasca journey.


Costa Rica, with its tropical landscape, mimics that of the Amazon in many ways, and it feels as if you are in ayahuasca’s home. Imagine being serenaded in ceremony by the sounds of cicadids, chirping of frogs and the calls of birds as you navigate a spiritual landscape. Every detail impacts the experience.


New Life Rising has 10 years of experience crafting the ideal retreat atmosphere to support your healing journey. The retreat is more than just ayahuasca ceremonies, it’s a full experience where you get to be vulnerable in a way you didn’t know was possible, supported by an intimate group of you peers who are all authentically examining themselves for growth.

OUR MISSION & VALUES

SINCE 2014

Sharing the magic of this medicine is a great honor and a great responsibility. Ayahuasca has been the catalyst for every great transformation in our lives, and we are committed to guiding others on their journey to healing. We accept people from all walks of life in a non-judgmental environment. 

 

As individuals who have had trauma experiences, we understand the importance of having a safe space that encourages vulnerability for authentic self-reflection and discovery. Healing can be painful, and we are here to support our guests so that they feel seen and held throughout the process.

 

For more than a decade, we have committed ourselves to this path, and we respect the Peruvian Mestizo traditions that have been handed down from our teacher and his teacher before him. As part of that tradition, we complete master plant dietas that give us the tools necessary to create a protected sacred ceremonial space.

 

We hope to help you find a renewed sense of peace and joy in your life as you embark on a beautiful journey to uncover your full potential.

ECO-CONSCIOUS

AYAHUASCA RETREAT COSTA RICA

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.

​

An ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica is the perfect place to begin to deepen your connection the natural world as you deepen your connection to self. She acts a s bridge between worlds, both the physical to spiritual and the modern to our ancestors. Through this reflection we see that we are connected, all as one. We learn how to appreciate the ways the eart nurtures us through plants, medicine, water, beauty and food and learn to nurture her in kind.

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.
