Experiences on Retreat
"The Jungle Gayborhood is an unforgettable experience that we’ll cherish forever. After two years of following it on Instagram, we were thrilled to finally make it a reality and spend our New Year’s Eve there. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Nick and shown our room. Ryan then provided us with a comprehensive overview of the place, sharing all the details. We also met Tone, Brandee, and Jess, who made us feel incredibly special and valued. As soon as we stepped onto the property, I could sense the magical and energetic vibe that this place exudes. It’s a unique atmosphere that I’ve never encountered before. Jungle Gayborhood has created this space with such intentional and deliberate details, and they’ve staffed it perfectly to deliver a heartfelt and raw experience.
I’ve attended numerous gay events, but this communal queer living amidst the lush jungle of Costa Rica truly stands out as an unforgettable adventure. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their gender identity, sexuality, race, creed, or culture. I eagerly anticipate witnessing the ongoing evolution of this unique community. "
"I came to the holiday retreat with no expectations and left feeling refreshed restored and having spent some wonderful quality time with my chosen family. I can’t say enough good things about getting to know JGBH staff and the effort they put into making me feel welcome and happy to have trekked deep into a magical place where there’s excellent yoga every morning, family style well prepared meals and caring people all around that are excellent at what they do for the guests and the community. So glad I went and to have spent Christmas and new years holidays here. "
"A truly special place where I was able to adventure and commune with nature, form friendships, practice yoga and mindfulness all in a wonderful sharing community. Already excited to return. "
"Excelente lugar, demasiado rica la comida, la actividad estuvo genial súper recomendado "
"I had a private changa session with Peter and Gabriel. I felt super safe and looked after. The music, the ambiance and the energy of this setup was absolutely magical. Highly recommend and forever grateful to experience this with such wonderful hosts. "
"Hi My name is Michael Dru Kelley. The Jungle Gayborhood is where I have just finished two outstanding weeks with one week focused on plant medicine and ensuing journeys to help heal, inspire and activate new aspects of my life in ways beyond my expectations.
The second week was more physical with warriors from Naked Warrior Yoga.
I know this has been said many times, yet my journeys have been life changing, affirming and motivating to live my truth that “every new moment is a new moment to show love, starting with myself.” And, it further affirmed my life mission to advance equality for the queer community and leave the world a better place. The healing was so incredible. The love I found in myself and the support of others who experienced it was not of this world and definitely told me heaven starts with the ones you love, forgive and grow with. As Terence Mckenna so wisely says “What’s primary is the felt presence of experience and that is the source of love.” If you are looking to work on your spiritual, emotional, physical and sensual parts, the jungle gayborhood is your Costa Rican jungle casa for the heart, mind and body. It has changed my life in the most beautiful way, and I can’t wait to impact others with nothing but love. Thank you, Jungle Gayborhood, for restoring parts of me that died along the way and awakening my full potential to love every minute, starting with myself. xo

"This summer, I had the privilege of attending the immersion retreat from Synthesis in the Netherlands as an apprentice. It was a profoundly beautiful and insightful experience that provided invaluable lessons for my future practice as a psychedelic practitioner. The facilitators were experienced and very kind, creating a safe and supportive environment throughout the retreat. The food was also outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend this immersion retreat."
"As a complete novice to entheogens/psychedelics it was amazing to see how the retreat catered to those of all levels, helping a rookie like me feel very safe & secure while still keeping those with more experience really engaged! They do a great job of curating groups of awesome people, while our group was very diverse there was no drama or issues. "
"I attended the Synthesis Immersion Retreat as both a student and a participant. The facilitators were top notch in every way: highly experienced in indigenous and western medicine traditions, live music as well as playlists, breath work, compassionate caretakers, deeply present to each of us. Their teaching was clear and relevant. I learned so much about facilitating medicine journeys, and I also dived deep into my own journeys.
In addition, the location is gorgeous. My only complaint is that the tents were so hot during the day (nights were fine), even though they were air conditioned, that you really couldn't hang out in there. But no problem because there are lots of beautiful spaces to hang out by yourself or with others. The waterfalls are fantastic, and fun getaways from the "work."
Food was amazing, and the chefs were so friendly and always committed to meeting any special dietary needs.
I highly recommend this retreat."
"Such an amazing location, surrounded by pristine nature, bathed by the waterfalls and fountains.
The food is fantastic, always surprising and very fresh.
The level of the retreat teams is unbelievable and the love and care of the house team in incomparable.
Second time and many more to go back."
"What an experience! The setting, the guidance, the professionalism, the group.. all just magically perfect!"
"I can’t recommend this retreat highly enough, from the pre-retreat preparation to the post-retreat integration and everything in between, the details and delivery were immaculate. The venue was beautiful and the ceremonies were treated with reverence and respect. The leaders and facilitators created a safe space, and provided a range of complementary activities between the ceremonies. Thank you Synthesis 🙏"
"This has been a significant experience for me. If you ever get the opportunity to participate, don’t even hesitate. The experience is incredibly well organized, held, safe, and beautiful"
"The retreat was an outstanding experience, not just for the psilocybin ceremonies but for the community, breathwork, and meditation that made it so much more than that. I would highly recommend the process to anyone hoping to better themselves, find a new way to look at their traumas, or anyone just curious about the use of psychedelics for their well-being. A wonderful community was curated during the 5 days, and I would love to attend one again"
"Being part of the Synthesis community has truly been life-changing. The clarity, healing, and perspective I gained feel absolutely priceless. The care and expertise I felt throughout made all the difference, and what I’ve gained—clarity, healing, and a whole new perspective on life—feels absolutely priceless. I’m so grateful I took the leap"
"We are super grateful to Peter and Gabriel for this beautiful experience in Costa Rica. Peter prepared us carefully and Gabriel was super gentle and intuitive with us. The setting is special too, very quiet and gorgeous place. We totally recommend and would definitely come again! "
"The space is phenomenally beautiful, but it is nothing in comparison to the genuine, whole hearted, kind, and caring people that make this place so special. I attended a medicine of Eros retreat here and it was life changing. I am forever grateful to everyone that made it possible. What a beautiful experience! Thank you jungle family for making me feel welcomed, challenged and loved all at the same time. "
"Wow. Wow. Such an incredibly beautiful experience. Highly recommend!
A chance bus meeting and 9 month later, my interior landscape is so different it feels like another lifetime. Neten's wise insights, incredible patience and clear boundaries helped me see the intricate patterns and loops of my psyche, even through sometimes great resistance.
Her clear guidance helped me stabilize a new way of being - and not just for a weekend or a few weeks in the post retreat glow - I am present to life at the drugstore, in traffic, and even in pain. I can say without a doubt, she is one of those few people I've met where there is my life before her and something much much richer after. I am at the start of a new existence and I can't wait to see where it takes me.
Thank you!"
"My week with Neten was a life-changing experience. After years of talk therapy, I was looking for a different approach and chose to spend 6 days with Neten in a Psilocybin & Therapy retreat. I looked forward to the magic of Psilocybin mushrooms unlocking doors for me but found instead that the greatest awakening came from Neten's skill as a deeply intuitive therapist. Her insights were invaluable and I was able to absorb them thanks to the plant medicine taken over three days. Now I'm home and the journey continues in ways that would not have been possible without Neten's assistance. I'm even eating better after enjoying her delicious meals!"
"I loved my days spent with Neten and all the work that I did with her. I added the emotional release and heart opening cacao workshop to my retreat and found it extremely beneficial. I had many eye opening experiences throughout the retreat and have been able to integrate into my daily life. Neten’s space is beautiful as well as her energy. The food was delicious and the area was so beautiful."
"I am so very grateful to have shared the time with Neten. She helped me usher in a new way of life.
Thank you for all the knowledge shared, positive energy felt and alternative ways of thought expressed. I am very excited to continue my journey into self. I feel like I am the woman that I've longed to be for so very long, I just couldn't find my way to her.
I am so glad spirit led me there. Thank you for sharing your gifts Neten, you inspire me and others to do the same. Thank you for helping this little girl from Chicago feel like the capable, tender, powerful woman that I have rediscovered within me. With love "
"This was the most incredible experience I have ever had in my life. Gabrielle is an incredible healer. He is incredibly caring and you can literally feel his calming energy throughout the process. His partner Peter is equally kind on top of being a concierge of sorts spiritually and literally for Costa Rica. Peter helped me so much. The time I spent with him before and after the ceremonies was as helpful as the ceremonies themselves. I can't recommend this highly enough. In my humble option I would suggest having a clear purpose or goal in mind to maximize benefits. These medicines work on a subconscious level and as we know our subconscious will lead us in whatever direction it's programmed for whether good or bad. I went with the intention of healing trauma to be able to move forward and escape my negative cycles that had haunted me. When I left Costa Rica I had renewed hope, but no conscious thought of how things would get better. I met my Spirit Guide while I was there, it was incredible. I had one of those footsteps in the sand moments which completely blew my mind and made me feel so protected, self assured and confident. Once I got home my road was made completely clear to me in a way I can only credit a higher power. A path was presented to me with all obstacles clear in a way that can be accurately described as "all the stars aligning". I'm in a place now that I have wanted to be for so long but had no idea of how I would get here. I credit the medicine and these two kind souls, but I wouldn't dare guarantee results for anyone else because you have to be ready and have clear purpose for your destination. Otherwise it could just be a trip. And no doubt the most incredible trip you've ever been on because these medicines are no doubt some of the most amazing on earth. Good luck friends "
"I was going through a rough patch with my mental well-being and finding those that shared the same desire to better themselves.
This experience introduced me to a healthy gay community of men that were more than their trauma, without judgment or prejudice.
I felt liberated, free, loved and heard. There were so many beautiful souls here that shared their stories with me.
I found that the key was to take a leap of faith and come with an open heart and mind."
"Exceptional. Marvelous. Even though I didn’t know the majority of the megapode facilitators before the retreat, I felt almost immediately at home with them. They proved an enormous resource throughout the retreat. Their teamwork was a remarkable model for me going forward as well. I felt supported, held, and given space to grow in my own way. Magnificent!
The experience of being TOGETHER was even more mind-blowing than I’d expected. I already knew that this was an extraordinary group of people — but I had no idea of the extent to which that was true until we were physically together in one place. The openness, attentiveness, attunement, intelligence. and gentleness of the staff was extraordinary.
On how the Immersion informed one’s personal practice: “I feel an even greater draw than usual to slow down, spend time in nature, and give myself space to breathe. The conversations I had with both fellow participants and staff will be influencing my personal practice and my outlook on life for a long while. The experiences of the retreat went very deep indeed.
Everyone was super-helpful, respectful, and friendly. Couldn’t ask for better."
"This journey is very personal and Gabriel and Peter are very gentle, kind, and powerful humans, with a great passion and respect for their practice. This is not something to go into lightly so be very ready and they will support your journey. You can know you are working with highly skilled and evolved people who truly want to see others flourish beyond their current limitations (physical, emotional, spiritual) I love that these two are the real deal who respect the medicine and its powerful attributes, yet carry no pretense. If that calls to you then take the leap! You have nothing to lose (but old patterns, beliefs, and roadblocks) and a world of possibilities to gain! "
"I followed my heart to go and work with Neten and I was transformed. Immediately I felt at peace and supported. The environment is lovely, natural and beautiful just like Neten. I could tell I was in good hands and that I could grow and learn about myself safely. I highly recommend that if your heart, your spirit, your mind brings you to Neten, follow and trust it. You will not be disappointed. I am forever grateful for my time there and for your help, Neten. Peace and blessings to you and all that you do!"
"Incredible experience! I was guided through Rapé, Sananga, Changa, and Bufo ceremonies with immense love and care. I always felt safe and it allowed me to fully surrender to the experience, and I am so grateful for it.
Gabriel puts so much love and energy into the medicines. It truly was a special place and transformative experience! "
"Great location, awesome hosts, excellent food, bountiful resources to use to unplug and heal. "
"I would emphasise how the different lenses all worked to inform each other and therefore made the overall offering richer. I would also talk about how Synthesis has consistently promoted the value of "walking the walk", so not just lip-service, but the actual lived embodied commitment to our own wholeness; only then can we be taken seriously to facilitate someone else's journey towards wholeness."
