Ayahuasca New York – Finding the Right Setting for Deep Healing
Ayahuasca has gained widespread attention in recent years, with many seeking its powerful healing and transformative benefits. As interest grows, people across the United States—including New York—are searching for opportunities to experience this sacred Amazonian plant medicine. However, while some underground ceremonies exist in New York, it’s essential to understand that ayahuasca is not just about drinking a brew—it’s about entering into a deeply spiritual and psychological process that requires the right setting, guidance, and preparation.
The Rising Popularity of Ayahuasca in New York
As a global hub for progressive wellness, spirituality, and alternative healing, New York has seen an increase in interest in ayahuasca rituals and ceremonies. More people are looking for ways to break free from trauma, anxiety, depression, and emotional blockages, and ayahuasca has become a beacon of hope for many. This powerful plant medicine has been used by indigenous cultures of the Amazon for centuries as a tool for deep healing and spiritual awakening.
While the demand for ayahuasca continues to grow, the quality and safety of the experience vary widely. Some underground ceremonies in New York may offer a convenient option, but it’s crucial to ask:
Are the guides properly trained?
Are there safety protocols in place?
Where does the medicine come from?
Does the setting support the depth of healing that ayahuasca can offer?
Will you have the guidance needed to navigate such a profound experience?
Why the Right Setting Matters
Ayahuasca is not just a psychedelic—it is a sacred medicine that requires respect, intention, and a properly held space. The environment in which you drink ayahuasca significantly impacts the journey, and being in the right setting can mean the difference between a challenging experience and a profoundly healing one.
The best ayahuasca experiences take place in nature, where the mind and spirit can fully surrender to the medicine’s teachings. Where you can detach from your regular routine and environment to focus and turn inward without distraction.
For this reason, many people seeking ayahuasca in New York choose to travel to a dedicated retreat space like in Costa Rica, where ayahuasca can be experienced in a natural, peaceful environment, with the guidance of trained facilitators who understand the medicine deeply.

The Importance of Qualified Guides and Safety
If you are considering ayahuasca in New York, one of the most important factors to research is the experience and training of the facilitators leading the ceremony. Many underground circles operate without proper safety protocols, which can put participants at risk physically, mentally, and emotionally.
At New Life Rising, we ensure that every ceremony is conducted with the utmost integrity, honoring the tradition of ayahuasca while prioritizing safety and support. Our facilitators are experienced in navigating the intense energies that ayahuasca can bring up, using traditional medicine songs (Icaros) and healing techniques to guide participants through their journey.
A Journey Worth Taking
While Ayahuasca in New York could be convenient, the most profound healing often comes from stepping outside of familiar environments and immersing yourself in a space dedicated to transformation. Costa Rica offers the ideal setting—surrounded by nature, free from distractions, and supported by experienced guides—so you can fully surrender to the medicine’s wisdom.

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.
