A
GLIMPSE INTO
A GREATER TRUTH
Transformational Ayahuasca Retreat in Costa Rica.
Ayahuasca is a powerful tool that helps us explore our soul, reconnect to our spirit, and embrace the beauty of having a human experience. Our intimate ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica has been designed to offer a curated balance of support and personal time for reflection.
Our authentic ceremonies follow the Peruvian traditions and offer a safe container for authentic self-reflection and realization. The facilitators of the Ayahuasca Costa Rica retreat have spent years studying in Iquitos, Peru completing many master plant dietas, and are extremely skilled at leading the journey with Icaros.
Our facility co-exists in nature, we imply sustainable practices to minimize our environmental impact as much as possible. We also help support reforestation efforts within the community.
We look forward to working with you soon so that together we can grow and bloom.

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.
Our ayahuasquero Matthew leads all of our ceremonies. Matthew has been involved with plant medicine since 2011, first with Ibogaine 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.
Matthew has completed many master plant dietas, has facilitated hundreds of ceremonies, and has evolved into a strong and compassionate ceremonial leader. He strives to create a safe healing environment for all our participants.
Our ceremonies 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.
Matthew drinks the brew at every ceremony so he can navigate and guide the energy of the room. Jeanae and a minimum of 2 additional helpers are always there to assist as needed.
ACCOMMODATIONS
OUR BEAUTIFUL AYAHUASCA RETREAT
The ayahuasca retreat at New Life Ayahuasca is not your typical jungle ayahuasca experience. We understand the importance of privacy and personal space during such a profound experience
Our expansive facility offers a comfortable environment for such an intense process.
Where simplistic luxury and nature intersect.
The retreat facility was designed to have a minimal carbon footprint and every element was considered when designing the eco-conscious oasis.
Every roof harvests rainwater to irrigate a growing food forest, no trees were cut during construction and recycled materials were used wherever possible.
A gorgeous saltwater infinity pool looks out over the Pacific Ocean, each room has a private balcony with ocean views and the entire oasis is nestled into the hillside surrounded by miles of jungle hiking trails.
We offer a number of different accommodation options in an effort to suit a variety of travelers and budgets.
WHY CHOOSE US?
AN INCLUSIVE CENTER FOR HEALING
Matthew and Jeanae have been working with plant medicine since 2014. It was through ceremonial work that they met and where their love was forged.
Together they guide each participant through the ayahuasca Costa Rica experience with powerful Icaros, or medicine songs. Matthew is intuitive and highly sensitive, which makes him skilled at adapting the songs of the ceremony to meet the energy needs of the room. Jeanae's singing and gentle flute playing invite soft feminine energy into the space. To do this work responsibly, we keep our ayahuasca retreat small so that the energetic space is maintained with respect to each individual's experience. Matthew brings a grounded masculine energy while Jeanae brings a motherly feminine energy, creating a perfect balance and play between the two polarities.
Our ceremonies are offered in darkness, promoting an inward journey to heal the soul.
Matthew and Jeanae lead each ceremony with love, compassion, and a deep connection to spirit.
Together they have been traditionally trained in Iquitos, Peru where they have completed many master plant dietas. The intention, dedication, and passion for this work are unparalleled.

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
