OUR MISSION
Why our Spirit Awakening Retreats are the best choice:
Authentic contact with the sacred plant in its natural environment where it naturally thrives and holds its energy. versus: Ayahuasca ceremonies and experiences in environments where the plant is not naturally at home (Europe, cities, etc.), potentially lacking in authentic energy of the plant.
Return to simplicity, authenticity and being, fostering a deeper understanding of our existence and connection to our gifts and divinity. versus: Distraction in the vicinity of e.g. luxury villas with commercial abundance, that keeps you in the comfort zone.
Small group ceremonies, with a maximum of 5 participants, supervised by a Shaman and trained companions. versus: Large group ceremonies lacking personalized attention.
Professional care and integration provided on-site and aftercare online as needed. versus: Uncertainty about how to integrate the experience and what comes after.
Authentic environment embedded in nature, featuring genuine wooden cabins for sleeping and ceremonies held in the Shaman's Usure in the jungle.

Explore Our Retreat Highlights:
Ayahuasca Ceremonies: Immerse yourself in the profound spiritual insights offered by Ayahuasca, guided by experienced facilitators (fluent in 3 languages and with over 20 years combined experience in holistic work) in a safe and supportive environment.
Cacao Ceremonies: Connect with the gentle heart-opening and energizing properties of ceremonial-grade Cacao. We use the high-quality Talamanca Raw Cacao, with its valuable theobromine content.
Holistic Wellness Practices: Enhance your spirit journey with yoga, meditation, nature excursions, and nourishing plant-based cuisine, to support your well-being.
Integration Support: The most important part of the entire experience is the integration process. Without proper integration, there is no transformation. That's why we take the integration very seriously with professional facilitators (fluent in 3 languages) trained and experienced (over 30 combined years of experience) in coaching, psychology, energy work and trauma release (as well as other things such as Yoga, Naturopathy, Kinesiology and Matrix-Healing), so that you may return home with an integrated transformation that lasts.

Meet our Ayahuasca Ceremony Facilitators
Aleks & Marc
Aleks is a seasoned Ayahuasca facilitator and steward of her own rainforest sanctuary in Costa Rica. Aleks's journey with Ayahuasca began two decades ago, leading her to become deeply connected with the sacred Masterplant. She apprenticed with a Spanish facilitator named Marcelo for a decade, deepening her understanding of ceremonial practices and cultivating reverence for Ayahuasca traditions. In 2018, guided by Ayahuasca herself, Aleks founded the rainforest sanctuary where she lives with her partner Marc and where they hold Ayahuasca ceremonies.
Marc, a holistic therapist brings over a decade of experience to his work as an Ayahuasca facilitator. Originally from Catalonia, Marc's journey into holistic healing began in a Hungarian school of metaphysics. He has worked with energy medicine and craniosacral therapy, among other things, and traveled to Peru in 2017, where he learned about the deep wisdom of Ayahuasca, in order to further deepen his knowledge in Costa Rica.
Their mission is to accompany people on a journey of inner growth and spiritual awakening rooted in the wisdom of the jungle and the spirit of Ayahuasca.
