Costa Rica Ayahuasca Retreat: Your Path to Healing and Transformation
In the pursuit of holistic wellness and mental health, many are turning to profound, transformative experiences to find alignment and purpose. A Costa Rica ayahuasca retreat offers the ideal opportunity for deep healing, spiritual growth, and reconnection with yourself and the natural world.
With its vibrant rainforests, serene beaches, and the tranquil embrace of the pura vida lifestyle, Costa Rica provides an unmatched setting for an ayahuasca journey. The lush landscapes and harmonious energy of the environment create the perfect space for reflection, renewal, and connection to the sacred plant medicine.
Why Choose a Costa Rica Ayahuasca Retreat?
Costa Rica has become a premier destination for plant medicine retreats, offering an experience that is deeply connected to the earth. The natural surroundings amplify the power of ayahuasca, helping participants align with its energy.
Imagine sitting in ceremony, surrounded by the hum of cicadas, the calls of tropical birds, and the rustling of jungle leaves. These sounds become part of the transformative process, grounding you in the present moment and enhancing your journey with ayahuasca.
Attending a retreat in Costa Rica also allows you to step away from daily routines and immerse yourself in a peaceful environment that fosters introspection and healing. This distance from everyday stress is essential for achieving the full benefits of ayahuasca ceremonies.

New Life Rising's Launch in 2026 - Ayahuasca Retreat USA
New Life Rising, one of the top-rated ayahuasca retreats in the world, is set to bring our 5-star retreat program to Texas, United States in 2026. With over a decade of experience in Costa Rica, we have built our program on the pillars of safety, intimacy, tradition, and integration. This expansion aims to make ayahuasca more accessible domestically, eliminating the need for international travel while maintaining the highest legal and ethical standards. New Life Rising’s U.S. retreats will offer a unique opportunity to experience ayahuasca in a traditional and authentic way without traveling abroad to Costa Rica or Peru.
In the United States, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) has provided legal frameworks that protects the right of sincere religious practitioners to use ayahuasca as a sacrament. Under RFRA, certain organizations have been granted exemptions to work with ayahuasca in alignment with their spiritual practice. This evolving legal landscape reflects a growing recognition of plant medicine’s role in healing and spiritual development, and provides a pathway for retreats like New Life Rising to operate with integrity, safety, and respect for both the law and tradition.

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 retreat centers in the world. After over a decade of hosting deeply transformative retreats in Costa Rica, we are now bringing our retreat experience to the United States to support those seeking profound healing and personal growth.
As we explored ayahuasca offerings across the U.S., one pattern quickly became clear: many experiences are compressed into a single weekend, often fitting two or even three ceremonies into just a few nights. Participants are then expected to return home and resume normal life almost immediately, with little time for reflection, integration, or meaningful support.
This approach stands in stark contrast to the way ayahuasca has traditionally been held and the conditions that allow for genuine, lasting transformation. While we understand the desire to fit healing into a busy life, rushing such a powerful experience can limit its depth and long-term impact.
What truly matters is thoughtful preparation, clear intention, respect for tradition, adequate time, and proper integration. Above all, it is essential to be held in a safe, ethical, and trauma-informed container by experienced facilitators who can support each stage of the journey.
Recognizing the need for deeper, more supportive healing environments, we are now offering our signature 5 and 7-day ayahuasca retreats in the United States. These immersions are carefully curated experiences of reflection, healing, and authentic community.
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.
