Ayahuasca Michigan
Ayahuasca Michigan – Exploring Healing and Transformation
Ayahuasca, a sacred plant medicine with deep Amazonian roots, has gained significant attention for its ability to facilitate emotional, psychological, and spiritual healing. As interest in alternative healing methods grows, many people are searching for ayahuasca in Michigan as a way to experience profound transformation. From Detroit to Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor, individuals are exploring the benefits of this powerful medicine, inspired by scientific research, personal testimonials, and increasing mainstream recognition.
However, finding a safe and legitimate ayahuasca retreat in Michigan presents challenges. Ayahuasca contains DMT, a Schedule I substance under federal law, making its use illegal in most circumstances. While underground ceremonies may exist, it is crucial to understand that ayahuasca is not merely a psychedelic—it is a sacred medicine that requires experienced guidance, proper preparation, and a supportive environment to ensure a meaningful and safe journey.
Should You Travel for an Ayahuasca Retreat?
Many people looking for ayahuasca in Michigan ultimately choose to travel for their experience, seeking a setting that enhances the medicine’s healing potential. Urban environments, with their daily stressors, distractions, and artificial energy, can hinder the deep introspection that ayahuasca facilitates. A retreat in nature, away from daily responsibilities, provides the ideal atmosphere for transformation.
For this reason, many opt to journey to Costa Rica, a top destination for ayahuasca retreats due to its legal framework, stunning natural environment, and accessibility from the U.S. At New Life Rising, we provide an authentic, safe, and deeply immersive space for healing, free from the distractions and limitations of city life.

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.
