AYAHUASCA RETREAT HEALING

AYAHUASCA IN KENTUCKY

The popularity of ayahuasca is growing all over the world and especially in the United States. After Oakland, California successfully passed a resolution in June 2019 to decriminalize the possession and use of psychedelic substances such as Ayahuasca, Mushrooms, Iboga, Peyote, San Pedro, and DMT, many other states have followed suit. This has led many people to look for ayahuasca ceremonies in their own cities. If you ended up here its because you, like many others, are interested in Kentucky ayahuasca ceremonies or maybe you heard about Kentucky Ayahuasca after watching the VICE series by the same name.

However, despite many organizations claiming they are 'churches', there are still no legal options for ayahuasca retreats available in Kentucky. You may find weekend events or other retreats being offered but its important to be informed and make sure you are going to a safe and qualified guide. These events are often offered over the weekend and can include upwards of 30 people. If you find an ayahuasca ceremony in Kentucky it is important to ask some of the following questions to ensure you have a safe and therapeutic experience with the medicine:

Who is facilitating the ceremony?
How much experience do they have?
What traditions do they follow?
Where will the ceremony be held?
How many people typically attend?
Are there 'sitters' or 'helpers' beside the ayahuasquero/shaman to assist if someone needs help. If yes, how many and is there at least 1 female present?
Where does the brew come from and what does it contain?
Do you need to provide any medical information before participating (you should, as ayahuasca has medical contraindications with other drugs, see our safety page)

New Life Ayahuasca has been providing ayahuasca retreats in Costa Rica since 2014. We strongly urge anyone looking to participate in ayahuasca ceremonies in Kentucky to find a qualified and reputable center or facilitator to work with. We understand that not everyone can afford to travel and take off work to attend a retreat, but there is a lot of therapeutic value in getting away from your environment, being in the jungle and giving yourself the time to commit and reflect on your experiences. If you are interested in attending a retreat in Costa Rica, please get in touch.

NEW LIFE AYAHUASCA

THE OLDEST AYAHUASCA RETREAT IN COSTA RICA

Reconnect with your higher self through our transformative ayahuasca Costa Rica retreat. Ayahuasca is a powerful sacred plant medicine that helps us reach our full potential by freeing us from self-limiting beliefs and destructive thought patterns. She invites us to confront and integrate all aspects of ourselves by embracing the light and dark energies within each of us. By acknowledging these contrasting energies we practice radical self-acceptance that is the catalyst for profound growth and the foundation for self-love.

As the oldest ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica, we've had over a decade to fine tune our therapeutic journey to support healing, release, and restoration through honest self-reflection and by fostering a profound connection to spirit.

From our ayahuasca ceremonies guided by ayahuasqueros trained in the Peruvian Mestizo traditions to gentle yoga sessions, massage therapy, group sharing circles, nature therapy, nutritional meals, and airport transfers, we have considered every element to best support you on your journey.

We hope you will join us.

RESERVE YOUR SPOT

Ayahuasca Costa Rica is a way to heal yourself.

Ayahuasquero

OUR AYAHUASQUEROS

FOLLOWING 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.

AYAHUASCA SAFETY

SAFETY INFO

Your physical and emotional safety are our highest priority.

While ayahuasca is safe when used properly, there are a few medical conditions and medications that are contraindicated with ayahuasca. Every participant is asked to complete a medical questionnaire over the phone to ensure the safety of our ayahuasca retreats. In case of emergency, Matt and Jeanae are certified in CPR and have training with the use of our AED (Automated External Defibrillator). We are 25 minutes from a medical center.

Our small groups enable us to provide quality service and attention to every guest. Each ceremony is supported by 4 team members : Our ayahuasqueros, Matthew and Jeanae, who drink ayahuasca with each group to help guide the experience and 2 additional helpers, who do not drink during the ceremony and are there to assist any participant that may require attention. A male responds to the men and a female responds to the women, ensuring that everyone feels safe and comfortable during such a vulnerable and emotional experience.
