12 Days Private Ayahuasca Journey in Costa Rica

The experience was terrific from start to finish. Our host was very knowledgeable in plant medicine which helped to make me feel comfortable. The atmosphere was safe and welcoming and truly embodies what it means to be in touch with nature. I definitely look forward to visiting this place again.

Mar is a very lovely human who has a genuine interest in the betterment of others. She was very attentive and was passionate about fulfilling her obligations and providing a professional yet intimate experience for her clients. I am grateful for the experience and I am grateful I got to meet such a special person.

The environment at Madrediosa was peaceful and blissful in the jungle. It was private and I felt incredibly safe and welcome. I loved having my own space to rest, relax, shower and sleep. I was very nervous initially for the experience of plant medicine but Mar had such a sweet way of empathizing and explaining things to expect but also to have an open and let the experience be what it was meant to be. The whole theme throughout for me was letting go and releasing control. I came to Madrediosa to let go. Mar asked me to set my intentions and then led me through the ceremony, intuitively playing music, using sage, and asking questions to guide my thoughts. We even got to look at the stars on the clear night we were blessed with. The experience with the medicine was better than I imagined and gently revealed what I needed to know as I came face to face with my shadow (what I asked for). I felt cared for the entire time emotionally and physically. Mar is gentle and leads with her heart and is very loving as the plant brings up so much vulnerability.
Since my ceremony, I have opened my heart to receiving love and real connection with people. I realize the immense power in letting go of the "need" to project control over every area of my life, over circumstances I cannot control, over relationships, over events, experiences, and whatnot. I can let it be and allow the best to flow to me. I will definitely be returning to Madrediosa and I'm excited to share in the sacred space again with Mar, she is just a precious genuine soul. 🩵🩵🩵

From the very beginning, Mar was super accommodating and out of her way to accommodate me. She sent an amazing drone video of how to get to her place, which was super helpful. When I got to the property, I felt an overwhelming feeling of peace and relaxation. The space is just very positive.

Mar was very attentive and caring and sat and talked with me on a deeper level which I enjoyed and appreciated. I was able to get some closure and grounding. I would encourage anyone who is considering staying to consider more than one session with Mar and stay at least as long as that takes.

The jungle setting is obviously very cathartic and amazing to experience all the sights and sounds. I found the accommodations to be very cozy. Mar is a wonderful host and very affordable, which is a nice option from a lot of the retreats that are on here. Not only that, but I was able to be one-on-one with Mar for our ceremony. I believe that is a much different experience for people who are on retreats with multiple people. Mar has made this type of therapy accessible for those of us with less means which is so wonderful of her.

Thank you!

I had two Ayahuasca ceremonies in a three day period and found the whole experience to be truly wonderful. The facilites are amazing and your room is simple and spotless. Not only is Mar a knowledgeable and passionate guide, but she is an extremely welcoming host. This was the first time I have ever taken Ayahuasca and Mar made me feel relaxed and special throughout the two ceremonies. I will definitely go back to Mar (from England) and have no hesitation in recommending her. My time in the jungle was a wonderfully magical time that I will never forget. This was the highlight of my eight weeks in Central America. Thank you so much Mar. 🙏
