Playa Grande · Costa Rica
Healing retreats designed with deep care in Costa Rica.
A more supported way to work with plant medicine — trauma-informed, intimate, and held by a family who truly cares.
Why People Come
You don't need to arrive with the right words.
Most people come carrying something quiet. A weight, a question, a wish for something to soften. You're welcome here exactly as you are.
Exhaustion that rest alone hasn't softened.
A nervous system asking for a place to land.
Stories the body still carries.
Losses that need a tender space to move.
Thresholds asking for clarity and courage.
From self, from others, from meaning.

What our guests have shared.
"I have done 14 ayahuasca ceremonies. This was my best retreat yet. I felt extremely safe at all times and taken care of in a way I have never felt before."
"The integration support changed everything for me. I didn't just go home — I was guided home, gently, for months."
"I came in cautious and skeptical. I left with my nervous system softer than it has been in twenty years."
