Ayahuasca Hawaii
Ayahuasca Hawaii –
Finding the Right Retreat for Healing and Transformation
Ayahuasca, a powerful and sacred plant medicine with deep Amazonian roots, has gained global recognition for its profound healing potential. As interest in alternative healing and spiritual growth continues to rise, many people are searching for ayahuasca in Hawaii as a way to embark on a transformative journey closer to home.
While ayahuasca is traditionally used in the Amazon, its popularity has expanded worldwide, including in places like Hawaii, where the lush tropical landscape and deep spiritual traditions create an ideal setting for inner exploration. However, legal restrictions and safety concerns make it essential to carefully consider where and how you experience this sacred medicine.
Is Ayahuasca Legal in Hawaii?
Ayahuasca contains DMT, a Schedule I substance under U.S. federal law, meaning its use is generally prohibited outside of specific religious exemptions. While underground ceremonies may be available in Hawaii, it's crucial to ensure that any retreat or ceremony is led by experienced facilitators who respect the medicine’s cultural and spiritual significance.
Additionally, the setting in which you drink ayahuasca plays a vital role in your experience. A safe, well-structured retreat with proper guidance can make the difference between a challenging journey and a profoundly healing transformation.
Why Travel for an Ayahuasca Retreat?
Many seekers looking for ayahuasca in Hawaii ultimately choose to travel to a dedicated retreat center in a country where the practice is legal and culturally integrated. Leaving behind the distractions of daily life—work, relationships, and routines—allows for a deeper immersion into the healing process.
Costa Rica has become one of the most sought-after destinations for ayahuasca retreats due to its natural beauty, accessibility, and supportive legal framework. At New Life Rising, we offer a safe and authentic space where participants can fully surrender to the medicine, surrounded by the serene energy of the jungle.

Considering an Ayahuasca Ceremony in Hawaii?
If you're looking for ayahuasca in Hawaii, it's essential to research thoroughly and ask important questions to ensure a safe and ethical experience:
Who is leading the ceremony, and what is their experience?
Where is the ceremony held, and what safety protocols are in place?
How many participants will be attending?
Are there trained assistants, including female facilitators for support?
Where does the ayahuasca brew come from, and what are its ingredients?
Are medical screenings conducted to check for contraindications?

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.
