Who can benefit from Ayahuasca Costa Rica?
While many can benefit greatly from ayahuasca's therapeutic potential, the ruth is that Ayahuasca isn’t for everyone — it’s for those who are ready and prepared to get down in the dirt and do the work. Ayahuasca is often difficult, as 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 challenging 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 Retreat Costa Rica
Attending a retreat outside your usual environment can significantly enhance the depth of healing you’re able to receive.

Costa Rica, with its lush tropical landscape, mirrors the natural beauty of the Amazon and feels like ayahuasca’s natural home. Imagine sitting in ceremony, guided by the sounds of the jungle: the hum of cicadas, the soft croaks of frogs, and the distant calls of tropical birds—all becoming part of your spiritual journey. Every detail enhances the experience, grounding you deeply in nature and in the moment.
With over a decade of experience, New Life Rising has perfected the art of creating an environment that fully supports your healing journey. Our retreat is more than just ayahuasca ceremonies; it’s a complete, immersive experience designed to open up levels of vulnerability you may not have known were possible.

Legal Note:
In the United States, the First Amendment protects the free exercise of religion, and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) strengthens those protections at the federal level by requiring the government to meet a demanding legal standard before substantially burdening sincere religious practice. Under RFRA, certain religious organizations have successfully asserted protection for the sacramental use of ayahuasca in alignment with their faith.
While this is a nuanced and evolving area of law, it reflects meaningful recognition that sincere religious use of ayahuasca may be protected when carried out within a legitimate spiritual framework. New Life Rising Church operates in good faith as a federally recognized 501(c)(3) church, with sincere religious purpose, respect for the law, and a strong commitment to safety, integrity, and tradition. Our work is grounded in reverence for ayahuasca as a sacrament and in honoring both the spiritual responsibility and legal seriousness of this path.

A SAFE, INTIMATE & TRAUMA-INFORMED HEALING EXPERIENCE
This is deep work, done right with experienced facilitators, small groups, and real support.
New Life Rising is honored to be recognized as one of the top-rated ayahuasca retreats in the world. After more than a decade of holding transformative retreats in Costa Rica, we are now bringing our work to the United States to share this sacred spiritual practice with those seeking a deeper connection with God, personal healing, self-discovery, and growth.
As we began designing our program, one thing stood out about ayahuasca retreats in the United States: most are offered as weekend experiences, with two or even three ceremonies squeezed into just a few nights. Then, before there is any real time to rest, reflect, or process the experience, the participants are sent home and expected to step right back into everyday life by Monday morning. That approach leaves little room for genuine communion, real integration, or the depth of support that sacred work like this deserves.
It was surprising to see how common these weekend-style retreats have become. While we understand the appeal of trying to fit such a profound experience into the demands of modern life, rushing the process really does a disserviece to your
Recognizing the need for deeper & supportive healing opportunities, we've decided to bring our signature ayahuasca retreats to the United States. These immersions are designed to offer space for reflection, connection, ceremony, and community, creating a more grounded and meaningful path for those called to this work.
Join us at New Life Rising Ayahuasca Retreat Costa Rica for traditional ayahuasca ceremonies. It's an opportunity to deeply connect with yourself and heal in a serene environment.
SAFETY
PHYSICAL & ENERGETIC
Safety extends beyond the scope of medical considerations. It includes a protected ceremonial space and energetic safeguarding.
Your safety is our highest priority. From our comprehensive screening protocols to the meticulous preparation of the ceremonial container, you are protected every step of the way. We keep emergency medical equipment on site and our staff are trained in emergency response protocols. Using a trauma-informed approach, we create a protected energetic space and have the knowledge and experience to support even the most difficult experiences.
TRADITION
PERUVIAN MESTIZO TRADTIONS
Trained in the ancient Mestizo healing practices, we bring authenticity along with a balance of masculine and feminine to our space.
We honor a spiritual lineage of highly respected shamans, including our teacher Don Ron Wheelock, and his teachers before him: Don Agustin Rivas Vasquez and Don Jose Coral Mori, who also mentored Pablo Amaringo and Eduardo Luna, the authors of 'Ayahuasca Visions'. Through master plant dietas, Jeanae and Matt have gained powerful spirit allies and work in harmony, expertly weaving a playful balance of masculine and feminine energies.
INTIMACY
14 GUESTS - ONE SHARED PATH
The people you share this experience with will forge lifetime bonds and will impact your experience as much as the medicine itself.
Keeping the groups intimate ensures that we are able to provide everyone with individualized attention and create an atmosphere that feels like family. We also keep our groups small to ensure that we can manage the energetic container of each ceremony. Our retreats have a minimum of 4 facilitators: Our Ayahuasqueros Matthew and Jeanae, who lead the ceremony, along with 2 additional helpers: one female to assist the women and a male to assist the men.
INTEGRATION
MAKING THE HEALING LAST
Respectful, intimate group sharing circles begin the process of integration, and the support continues once you return home.
Our share circles are a place where each guest’s experience is honored and held with respect. We listen in supportive silence, and allow each guest to put words to their experiences, to feel their emotions, and to receive the loving support of their community. However, we know the work doesn't stop there, so we offer two follow-up integration calls, ensuring you have the guidance and connection needed as you navigate bringing your experience into everyday life.
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.
