Ayahausca Texas

Ayahuasca Texas – Finding the Right Setting for Healing and Transformation

Ayahuasca, a sacred plant medicine with deep Amazonian roots, has gained widespread recognition for its powerful healing and spiritual benefits. In recent years, the demand for ayahuasca in Texas has grown as more people seek alternative methods for emotional, psychological, and spiritual healing. From Austin to Houston and Dallas, individuals are exploring ayahuasca’s potential to address trauma, depression, and anxiety, inspired by increasing scientific research and testimonials from public figures who have experienced life-changing transformations.


Despite its growing popularity, finding reputable and safe ayahuasca ceremonies in Texas presents challenges. Ayahuasca is classified as a Schedule I substance under federal law due to its DMT content, making it illegal in most cases. However, as decriminalization efforts expand across the U.S., underground ceremonies have emerged in cities like Austin and Houston. While options may exist, it is essential to remember that ayahuasca is not just a psychedelic—it is a sacred medicine that requires proper preparation, respect, and experienced guidance to ensure a safe and profound healing experience.


Why Travel for an Ayahuasca Retreat?

For those seeking ayahuasca in Texas, it’s important to consider the environment in which the ceremony takes place. The setting significantly influences the experience, and stepping away from daily routines, cultural influences, and responsibilities allows for deeper healing. While urban settings may offer convenience, they often lack the natural, tranquil atmosphere that enhances the ayahuasca journey.


Many individuals seeking ayahuasca in Texas ultimately choose to travel to a dedicated retreat center where the experience can unfold in a peaceful, distraction-free environment. Costa Rica has become one of the top destinations for ayahuasca retreats due to its tropical beauty, legal framework, and accessibility from the U.S. At New Life Rising, we offer a safe and authentic space for profound healing, free from the stresses of everyday life.


Why Choose New Life Rising?

New Life Rising is Costa Rica’s longest-running ayahuasca retreat, with over a decade of experience guiding thousands of participants through transformational ceremonies. Our program is carefully designed to support deep healing through:


Authentic Ayahuasca Ceremonies – Led by a husband-and-wife team, our ceremonies create a harmonious balance of masculine and feminine energy.

A Serene, Natural Setting – Our retreat is nestled on 20 acres of pristine tropical dry forest, fostering a deep connection to nature and the medicine.

Complementary Healing Modalities – We incorporate yoga, massage, and group integration sessions to support the healing process holistically.

Comprehensive Support – Our team ensures that each participant receives guidance before, during, and after the retreat for meaningful integration.


Considering an Ayahuasca Ceremony in Texas?

If traveling to Costa Rica is not feasible, and you are considering an ayahuasca ceremony in Texas, it’s essential to thoroughly evaluate any retreat to ensure safety, authenticity, and ethical practices. Here are some key questions to ask:


  • Who is facilitating the ceremony, and what is their experience?

  • Where is the ceremony held, and what safety measures are in place?

  • How many participants will be there?

  • Are there trained assistants, including female facilitators for support?

  • Where does the ayahuasca brew come from, and what does it contain?

  • Are medical screenings conducted to check for contraindications?


Important Note: We do not offer ayahuasca retreats in Texas and do not have referrals for ceremonies in the area. This information is provided to help guide those seeking an authentic and responsible experience.

Who Can Benefit from an Ayahuasca Retreat?

At New Life Rising, we welcome individuals who are ready to embrace personal transformation. Our retreat supports healing in areas such as:


✔ Cultivating self-love and forgiveness

✔ Finding purpose and clarity in life

✔ Releasing emotional blocks and trauma

✔ Enhancing creativity and self-expression

✔ Encouraging spiritual growth and connection

✔ Renewing a sense of gratitude and appreciation


Our approach honors the traditions of Amazonian plant medicine while integrating modern therapeutic practices for a holistic healing experience.


Begin Your Healing Journey

While many seek ayahuasca in Texas, the most profound transformations often happen when stepping away from the familiar and embracing a setting dedicated to healing. Costa Rica provides the perfect environment—surrounded by nature, guided by experienced facilitators, and free from distractions—to fully surrender to the wisdom of ayahuasca.

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.
