Details of this retreat

*Please contact us before booking*

At Acsauhaya, we organize one-of-kind transformational psychedelic Ayahuasca Retreats. We offer an exceptional experience where people can reconnect with themselves and the world around them in a new and profound way.

Our German, Dutch and English speaking team has an extensive and extraordinary track record with over 20 years of combined experience working with plant medicine - entheogenic psychedelics - and the indigenous people who are culturally rooted in the uses of these psychedelic plants.

Having safely guided tens of thousands of participants from all over the world we have witnessed profound metamorphoses: healing, transformation, personal development, and shadow work.

We feel honoured to create a loving atmosphere and to support you in your profound inner journey!

5-day Ayahuasca Retreat + Preparation & Integration Programme in Costa Rica.

We invite you to embark on a transformative retreat programme. Take full advantage of your psychedelic experience, combining intimate Ayahuasca journeys (max. 13 people) with the power of community and integration support.

Integration is everything and It’s where the real work of stepping into your full potential really begins. And with this programme, you can avoid the common hindrances as you won’t have to do this often-challenging work alone.

Research shows that over 53% of people who attend a ceremony will have some emotional and mental challenges in integrating the experience afterwards. And that’s not considering the loss of potential that happens without proper support.

This programme was designed by experts to offer preparation, guidance, and support beyond the retreat and into the integration phase. It will equip you with the resources you need to avoid common challenges that can cloud the process of bridging a psychedelic experience to the future you want to create for yourself.

A Programme Of 3 Phases

Phase 1 – Preparation (online)
Deepen your experience with optimal preparation, heightened awareness, and emotional balance. Gain access to guiding tools and resources broken down into easily digestible chunks. It will encompass an exploration of your intention going into the Ayahuasca experience as well as details on how to optimise set and setting.

Phase 2 – Retreat (in our retreat centre)
Expert guidance provides the optimal environment to maximise the benefits of your Ayahuasca experience. With three psychedelic experiences, group sharing circles, and complementary wellness modules, you will be immersed within a supportive space. Our expert facilitators cultivate trust and the ability for you to surrender to the experience in a safe environment.

Phase 3 – Integration (online)
As after a psychedelic experience many people have more questions than before integration is an integral part of the healing process. Avoid losing precious integration opportunities with knowledgeable support that will equip you to foster lasting and meaningful change.

You will be in an intimate container where you can express yourself without judgement in a structured but flexible space. During this phase you will be empowered to continue your journey of integration and medicine work with the relevant skills and tools needed with ongoing support, including lifelong access to our library of resources.

Before you can attend one of our Ayahuasca retreats, it is important that we review information about known medical conditions and/or the usage of any drugs or medication (if applicable), at the time of booking. We evaluate the possibility of attendance individually. Therefore, we ask you to fill out a questionnaire accurately. Of course we will maintain the confidentiality of this information.

Please note that we cannot confirm your booking before your medical questionnaire has been reviewed. Please do not make travel arrangements (book flights) before we have confirmed your booking. Your safety and the best experience is our highest priority.

Schedule

BEFORE YOUR RETREAT - 4 WEEK PREPARATION PROGRAM (ONLINE)

Preparing for your retreat helps you to clarify your mind, body, and soul in a way that creates the perfect internal set and setting for your transformational experience.

We offer one-to-one conversations with our experienced and compassionate team who can walk you through what to expect and can offer resources to help you with your spiritual, emotional, and mental preparation as well as Dietary Guidelines.

You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with our other guests through our private community platform (retreat chat space) and during a group preparation video call a few days before your retreat begins.

Summary:
- Connecting with Fellow Participants and Retreat Facilitators: Before the retreat begins, we facilitate connections among participants and the facilitators to foster a sense of community and shared purpose.
- Intention Exploring and Sharing: During this call, we encourage participants to delve deep into their personal intentions for the retreat, fostering a sense of purpose and direction.
- Q&A: Towards the end of the call, we allocate time for a question and answer session to address any queries or concerns you may have about the upcoming retreat.

A Journey to Remember

My experience was honestly incredible and something I’ll never forget.

The yurt felt like such a safe and held space ,it allowed me to really let go and surrender to the whole journey. We started by setting our intentions together as a group, lighting a candle at the altar in the center. That moment felt really grounding.
The nature around the farmhouse was just perfect. Being surrounded by trees and stillness helped me feel calm and connected .
The music played such a big role for me too. Both the medicine songs in the playlist and the live acoustic music seemed to guide me exactly where I needed to go. It was like the songs knew what my heart needed before I did.
The team was kind, present, and supportive. I always felt cared for, which made it easier to go deep.
And also the group of people I was with, strangers at first, ended up feeling like family by the end.
We shared something really meaningful together in such a short amount of time.

A powerful experience

This was a great experience. I was a bit apprehensive at the beginning as I'd never attended an ayahuasca ceremony before but the team were very welcoming and the weekend was well organised. It was great having other participants to share experiences with and deepen the process. I would thoroughly recommend it for anyone curious about psychedelics.

whole, grounded and at peace.

The journeys have been truly life-changing.

The recent online integration workshop hosted by Maria was the closure I needed—bringing everything together in a way that left me feeling deeply whole, grounded, and at peace.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Deeply Transformative Experience

This retreat center stands out for its professional, well-structured approach to personal development and legal psychedelic work. From the first conversation to the final integration session, everything was thoughtfully organized and delivered with care and clarity.

The facilitators are experienced and genuinely committed to supporting each participant’s process. Their approach balances scientific understanding with grounded, human presence. I always felt safe, respected, and encouraged to explore at my own pace.

The environment is peaceful and intentionally designed to support inner work — quiet, close to nature, and free from distractions. It provided exactly what I needed to slow down, reflect, and go deeper.

What impressed me most was the quality of the integration support. It wasn’t just about the ceremony — the team helped me make sense of what came up and translate it into meaningful change in my everyday life.

This place is for anyone serious about self-inquiry, healing, or growth — not a quick fix, but a solid foundation for lasting transformation.

A truly liberating and healing experience

My ayahuasca ceremony was one of the most freeing and deeply healing experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, I felt held in a space of genuine care and love, before, during, and after the journey. The facilitators were incredibly supportive and created such a safe and sacred container for the process.

The location itself is absolutely beautiful and peaceful, a perfect setting to go deep within. The food was delicious and nourishing, which added so much to the overall experience.

This is a place I will definitely return to as I continue my healing journey. I’m deeply grateful.
