About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

During our retreats, we encourage vulnerability and compassion in a heart-based container where profound transformation is catalyzed by the powerful healing properties of Ayahuasca served by deeply gifted Shipibo Maestros from the Peruvian Amazon. We complement traditional indigenous plant medicine ceremonies with a trauma-informed, body-based therapeutic approach, and long-term ongoing integration support to help you flourish in the ever-unfolding possibilities of sustainable and lasting transformation.
This intimate plant medicine retreat takes place near the town of Nosara, on the Guanacaste Penninsula in the generous lands of Costa Rica. Our luxury retreat space is immersed in a secluded environment surrounded by lush jungle, breathtaking ocean views and healing nature. The sacred land will submerge you into a supportive place to explore the beauty of nature while you embark on your personal plant medicine journey with a family of world-renowned Shipibo Maestros and highly experienced facilitator support.
This all-inclusive event includes 3 Ayahuasca ceremonies, with Ayahuasca grown, harvested, and brewed by our family of Shipibo maestros in the Amazon jungle of Peru. Included in your private retreat cost will be daily yoga, breathwork, hikes in nature, sacred plant baths, integration circles, community activities, and a highly experienced facilitation team there to support your process fully. All organic meals are included and intentionally prepared with love to best support your health and medicine work. This luxury retreat center offers beautiful rooms all equipped with private bathrooms, hot showers, and beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean leaving you feeling comfortable in your space and fully supported in diving deep into this immersive medicine experience.
We honor and acknowledge that each person's relationship with plant medicine and healing journey is intimate and highly personal, with an array of different needs. Our approach to this work is to meet each guest where they are at in their process, honor their individuality, and provide a safe container of connection and healing.

Sublime experience
Neils and Francesca, hosted such an amazing weeklong retreat, supported by Zaia and Maestro Felix and Maestra Safa. The group was designed around a smaller group, thus providing the dedicated one-to-one intention support, love, and care where required during this amazing journey.

The ceremonies were sublime and super helpful translations / open interaction of the journey and messages and the healing lessons were incredible.

The plant medicine and ceremonies were well complemented, by Holistic yoga and breathwork practices,, dancing, cacao ceremony and other healing activities

A ceremonial connection with music, singing and laughter to support some of the more intense journeys, and amazing support all around from pre-retreat to post-retreat support.

Lastly, the location, accommodation and staff support were beautiful in a serene jungle experience within nature.

Mucho Amor

Couldn't recommend this place more highly!
I did soooo much research on many places, and I couldn't find a more supportive retreat centre. Anam Cara gives you so much preparation support and integration! Their facilitaros are all essentially somatic therpaists which is a huge perk, their yoga teacher Zaia is an emodied specialist and lead transformative experinces that blew everyone away, their maestro's / healers at top class, the facilities are 5 star and even on the dieta the food is amazing, everyones energy is incredible and they are so selective with who they attract and bring on board that everyone becomes apart of your healing journey in a beautiful way. I couldn't ask for a better retreat, I felt so supported!!

Beautiful soul!
She blew me away with her support during the preparation. I thought I was just jumping on a call to discuss my goals, and it felt like a whole somatic therapy session. She has so much wisdom and so many tools, I felt it was fate that she was my facilitator and I felt so grateful. I love that she has a very holistic approach and can bring natropathy and nutrition into your journey. She was a core person I would go to for advice throughout and she always blew me away with the wisdom and advice she would give. She has so much care about giving high quality supportive expereince, so much so that they should be charging double!

The presence you want and need
You can tell he works from the heart. He is highly experienced and trained, he's done so much personal development and he is exactly the energy you need around you during ceremony. He's also a beautiful singer and guitarist which is such a treat post ceremony, he's light, fun and funny when you need him to be, and his breathwork is insane. There is much to learn from him, if you can't do the retreat, you should consider trying his coaching!

Excellent experience
These facilitators and maestros created a space where it was very easy to trust and to do deep healing work. From beginning to end, they conducted themselves and their retreat with grace and dignity. They are honest, responsive, receptive, kind, generous, and really fun to spend time with. 10/10, I will love to come back here for future journeys.
