Ayahuasca California
Ayahuasca Retreat in California – A Growing Movement in Healing
Ayahuasca Retreats in California are becoming a prominent path for those seeking deep healing through transformative plant medicine and holistic wellness practices. As a state known for its progressive ideologies and vibrant wellness culture, many Californians are turning to alternative healing methods.
Ayahuasca retreats have emerged as a profound avenue for personal growth, blending ancient traditions with modern wellness practices. While Western interest in this sacred plant medicine has surged over the past decade, it has been revered by indigenous communities for millennia.
Currently, ayahuasca ceremonies are offered in both urban and rural areas throughout California. However, it’s essential to consider the importance of set, setting, and safety when embarking on such a transformative journey. Whether California—or any location within the U.S.—provides the ideal setting for this profound experience depends largely on the individual. With growing demand, understanding the environment and the quality of guidance during an ayahuasca ceremony is crucial to achieving the full benefits.
Why Location and Environment Matter
Ayahuasca is a powerful plant medicine, and the experience can be greatly influenced by the environment and the ceremonial guides. A supportive setting can enhance the journey, while an ill-suited environment or inexperienced facilitators can pose risks, both physically and mentally. Proper safety protocols are essential to ensure a safe and meaningful experience.
While attending an ayahuasca retreat California might be convenient, there’s immense value in experiencing ayahuasca in a completely different cultural and environmental context. Profound healing often requires stepping outside of one’s comfort zone. By leaving familiar surroundings and routines, participants can fully immerse themselves in the transformative process, allowing for deeper personal growth.
At New Life Rising Ayahuasca Retreat in Costa Rica, we offer a sacred and supportive environment for those seeking traditional ayahuasca ceremonies. Our retreats are thoughtfully designed to help guests step away from their daily lives and fully engage in the healing power of the medicine. Being in a new, nurturing environment helps participants open up to the full potential of the ayahuasca experience.
The Importance of Experienced Guides: New Life Rising
For those considering ayahuasca in California, finding experienced and qualified guides is essential. Many underground ceremonies lack the necessary support and safety measures, which can leave participants feeling overwhelmed or distressed. Without proper guidance, the risks may outweigh the benefits.
At New Life Rising, our team of traditionally trained guides brings 10+ years of experience to every retreat. They are adept at navigating the powerful energies of ayahuasca, channeling them through Icaros—traditional healing songs. Our comprehensive safety protocols and post-ceremony integration support ensure that participants can process their experiences meaningfully.

OUR MISSION & VALUES

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.

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.
