AYAHUASCA COSTA RICA ONE DAY
A
GLIMPSE INTO
A GREATER TRUTH
Ayahuasca Costa Rica One Day Ceremony
If you are interested in ayahuasca but not yet ready to commit to a full retreat, you may find yourself looking to participate in a one-night ceremony. As ayahuasca continues to grow in popularity in Costa Rica, we get many messages about availability for one night ceremonies of even 2 - 3 day retreats. Unfortunately, we do not offer any retreats shorter than 5 days, 4 nights with 2 ceremonies and do not offer one night ceremonies.
We feel that participating in an ayahuasca ceremony should be taken seriously and respected. It is an incredibly powerful plant medicine that should be approached with reverence and intention. Many of the requests we get for one night ceremonies are from people who are vacationing in Costa Rica and want to add an ayahuasca ceremony as an afterthought, rather than being driven with a purpose to the medicine.
Another reason we do not offer any ayahuasca one-day ceremonies is that it feels irresponsible to offer the medicine in such a way, without guaranteeing a safe place with support as one processes the experience. Ayahuasca can bring up intense revelations, and emotions and even uncover traumas, so it is important to us that we hold space for that process without sending people on their way back into the world immediately after.
If you are feeling called to mother ayahuasca, the greatest gift you can give yourself is an investment into your wellbeing by attending an ayahuasca retreat.. Retreats aren't one size fits all, and it may take some time, research, and exploration to find the retreat that works best for you, but having an environment that is focused on your healing and processing will offer the most opportunity for growth.

CEREMONIES
The goal of our ceremonies is to create a safe and therapeutic atmosphere that encourages each participant to explore and journey within themselves, to confront the darkness, and embrace the light. It is only through this duality and embracing all parts of ourselves that we can truly know ourselves and find balance.
Matthew Mormello, our ayahuasquero, leads all of our ceremonies. Matthew has been involved with plant medicine since 2011, first with Iboga in Mexico on HBO's VICE and then again in Costa Rica. In 2014 he felt called to work more intimately with ayahuasca and started traveling to Peru, completing plant medicine dietas under the guidance of his teacher, famed shaman Don Ron Wheelock. He has participated in hundreds of ceremonies and has evolved into a strong and compassionate ceremonial facilitator. He strives to create a safe healing environment for all our participants.
Our ceremonies are based on the Peruvian traditions, are performed in darkness, and are guided by Icaros, or medicine songs. Each ceremony begins with cleansing rituals to prepare the space. From there, the night is guided through Matthew's powerful Icaros along accompanied by a variety of other instruments. Ceremonies last about 3 - 4 hours.
Matthew drinks the brew at every ceremony with the group so he can navigate the energy of the room. Jeanae and Jason are always there to assist as non-participants.

WHY CHOOSE US?
AN INCLUSIVE CENTER FOR HEALING
Hi! We are Jeanae and Matthew, owners of NLA. We have both experienced significant life transformation with the assistance of plant medicine, first with iboga and then ayahuasca. We both came from backgrounds filled with addiction, depression, and just an overwhelming feeling of being lost. Finally, after many failed attempts through traditional modalities, we were able to gain a new perspective on life and realize deep healing through plant medicine. It is with this humble respect and gratitude for ayahuasca that we have created a program for others seeking to find balance in life.

Ayahuasca retreats can be beneficial for anyone, so long as the desire is there. Regardless of an individual's background, an ayahuasca experience can bring about intense emotions and revelations that can lead to a better life. The only thing you need is an open mind and the intention to have an experience that can enhance your spirituality and awareness of life and all that surrounds us.
An ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica can change your perception of life and all that exists. Many users report a renewed passion for life, an appreciation for nature, and a greater understanding of the ways in which all things are connected.
In more recent years, ayahuasca has been studied for its unique ability to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. Because of the ways ayahuasca can offer renewed perspectives of life, users are able to see a path forward that had previously been veiled. This shift in mindset provides an opportunity to reflect on past experiences/traumas/histories in a different light and from a place of peace
