AYAHUASCA RETREATS

A

GLIMPSE INTO

A GREATER TRUTH

Ayahuasca retreats have become popular around the world and thousands of people are seeking out this unique experience every day. This is because the benefits of ayahuasca have finally started to become accepted and recognized as a powerful therapeutic tool.

Ayahuasca retreats offer a chance to see life through fresh eyes, from a renewed perspective that can help us see the path forward. Ayahuasca helps us heal from within, releasing old traumas and wounds to become whole once again.

New Life Ayahuasca provides all-inclusive ayahuasca retreats in gorgeous Costa Rica. We offer 5 and 7-day retreats, with either 2 or 3 traditional ayahuasca ceremonies. All our ayahuasca retreats are accompanied by additional holistic modalities such as yoga, and nature therapy. We have partnered with a facility that focuses on giving back to nature, restoring soil, reforestation, and eco-practices.

Matthew and Jeanae, our skilled ayahuasqueros lead each participant through the ayahuasca experience through songs called Icaros. Matthew drinks ayahuasca with the group at every ceremony, so that he can adjust the flow of the ceremony to match the energy of the room. This is an essential element of being able to hold the space responsibly. Additionally, every ceremony is supported by 2 additional facilitators- one female and one male.

CEREMONIES

The goal of the ceremonies and our ayahuasca retreats is to create a therapeutic atmosphere that encourages each participant to explore and journey within themselves, 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 and Jeanae lead all of our ceremonies with the assistance of 2 other facilitators. 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 and Jeanae felt called to work more intimately with ayahuasca and started traveling to Peru, completing plant medicine dietas under the guidance of their teacher, famed shaman Don Ron Wheelock. Together they have participated in hundreds of ceremonies and have evolved into strong and compassionate ceremonial facilitators. They 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.

Our pool and cool water jacuzzi are nestled amongst local flora and fauna. We receive regular visits from macaws, howler monkeys, caotis, and iguanas.

WHY CHOOSE US?

AN INCLUSIVE CENTER FOR HEALING

Hi! We are Jeanae and Matthew, owners of NLA. We have both experienced remarkable life transformations through our work with ayahuasca. We both came from backgrounds of addiction, depression, trauma, and an overwhelming feeling of being lost, like something, was missing. 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.

 

New Life Ayahuasca offers 5 or 7 day ayahuasca retreats in Italy and Costa Rica. We work to provide a safe spiritual environment that promotes healing during your stay. We have felt the profound effects of this medicine and have made it our mission to help others on their journey to spiritual and personal growth. Our program is designed to give you a curated balance of support and space.

The property encourages a connection to nature, allowing you to disengage from the stresses of life and fully retreat into the experience.  We hope you will join us in taking the first step to healing yourself through the guidance of ayahuasca.

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
