Our intimate medicine retreats will take place in a stunning luxury, eco-friendly healing space outside of Nosara, Costa Rica. The entire retreat space is built with natural materials and fallen trees and is maintained with zero chemicals or toxic materials. Immersed in the wildness of the jungle, supported by the cleansing energy of the Pacific Ocean, and surrounded by a diversity of Costa Rican wildlife, we will embark on a potent healing journey with Shipibo Ayahuasca medicine.
To reach Nosara, the nearest international airport is Liberia International Airport, which is 2.5 hours away by car. Alternatively, you can fly to Costa Rica's capital, San José, and take a short domestic flight with Sansa Airlines to Nosara's airport, which is only a 5-minute drive from Nosara Town.

What a wow week
It’s hard to find words to describe this amazing week. The location, the experience, Neils&Francesca, everything was incredible. I felt held and guided through it all with love and deep understanding and I’m very grateful for all of it. A group of strangers became a family. We shared, we cried, we laughed, we learned and we healed. I have made new friends for life.

A Truly Unforgettable and Transformational Experience
My time at this retreat was nothing short of life-changing. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely held, seen, and supported by Neil, Francesca, and their incredible team. The level of care and attention to detail was outstanding- every aspect of the retreat was so thoughtfully and beautifully curated.
As a first-timer with the medicine, I couldn’t have asked for a more sacred, safe, and nurturing container. The energy, the space, the facilitators - everything was rooted in deep integrity and love. I felt supported through every step of the journey, and I walked away with profound clarity, healing, and a renewed connection to myself and the world around me.
I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who feels called. The quality, intention, and deep care that went into creating this retreat is truly rare and special.

Back on track
Prior to going to Anam Cara retreat center and meeting Francesca and Neils I was feeling overwhelmed with life, defeated, and having some health issues. I decided to go on this retreat and I am so glad that I did. I feel so much better and have a new outlook on life. I met so many wonderful people and really didn’t want to go home. I will definitely do this retreat again in the future!

Profound experience with an amazing team at the forefront
From signing up, to completion of this retreat.. and now the integration - I have felt seen, understood and cared for on a personal level. Both Neils and Francesca embody ‘Anam Cara’ as this retreat is carefully designed to get the most out of the experience. The workshops were interlinked with intention which helped process so much more than just the ceremonies alone. From the breath work, yoga, cacao ceremony and ecstatic dancing (so much fun!) - everything went beautifully together.
The most powerful Maestros from Peru - I personally felt the love and compassion they had to help the group but also on an individual basis. So much was taught rather than just directed.
Ashley being one of the facilitators really helped me during my ceremonies and even prior to ceremonies as I had a little resistant come up and we worked through it to gain the most out of my experience.
My group was amazing, I met with such beautiful souls whom I will be connected to for life. Thank you Anam Cara for such an uplifting experience. I was able to align with my true self during this trip and what a gift that is alone. Forever grateful!
