*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!

3-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 two Ayahuasca 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.

Lack of professionalism + unkindness
The webinar started late and then they had technical problems — it’s hard to call that professionalism...
Later, when I personally encountered technical issues and got disconnected from the meeting for a moment, I asked for access to the second part of the recording (which actually shows me disappearing) — they didn’t show the same understanding they had for themselves and demanded 110 euros. Not only is it a lack of empathy, but also outright profiteering!

Feels like coming home

I’ve been coming to this center for many years, and every single time the experience feels truly special. I organize this journey for myself once a year, and each time it brings such deep and profound therapeutic change. I always leave with more clarity about my life, a stronger understanding of who I am, and a renewed sense of direction.

The retreats are incredibly well organized — everything flows beautifully, and the team makes you feel completely at home. Their approach is always personal, attentive, and full of care. Each member of the team is highly experienced and brings something truly unique and valuable to the space.

The house itself is absolutely beautiful — warm, welcoming, and filled with peaceful energy. I always feel understood, supported, and comfortable there.

This year, I especially appreciated the new focus on preparation and integration. It adds so much depth to the process, helping me go even further in my experience and truly anchor the insights afterwards. I’ve witnessed incredible positive shifts in my life, things unfolding as if by magic — I believe it’s all connected to raising one’s vibration through this work.

To anyone considering joining — don’t hesitate. This place and these people are simply the best. 🌸

Deeply healing
The talks are always rich in knowledge, backed by science, and presented with so much care and authenticity. What I love most is how the team manages to bring together science, tradition, and wisdom in such a harmonious way. It’s not just about information — it’s about connection, heart, and community. You can truly feel the intention behind everything they do.

As someone who values evidence-based approaches and has explored various forms of therapy, I was amazed by how profoundly transformative this work is. It opens deeper layers of self-understanding and healing than I’ve ever reached through regular therapy alone — yet it also complements therapeutic work beautifully. The experience feels like true inner work, where insights arise naturally, and genuine change begins to unfold.

For me, it’s been a journey of clarity, self-compassion, and growth — a space where science meets soul

A Rare Place of Professionalism and Heart
I had the privilege of attending a retreat with this center, and it was truly a life-changing experience. The entire team is incredibly professional while also being some of the most heart-centered and genuine people I have ever met. It’s clear that they are doing this work from a place of deep care and a true wish to help others, and it is beautiful to witness.

The preparation and integration support is exceptional, which made me feel safe, understood, and fully held throughout the entire process. The facilitators are highly knowledgeable, very well-educated, and wonderfully attuned to each person’s individual needs, offering a deeply personalized approach.

What I also appreciated is that beyond the ceremonies, the center organizes talks and shares knowledge with the wider public, which I found incredibly enriching and inspiring.

Overall, I can only say that this retreat was conducted with the highest professionalism, compassion, and wisdom. It is a rare and special place that I wholeheartedly recommend.
