WHY AYAHUASCA?

You may find yourself facing emotional, spiritual, or physical challenges where you feel stuck or in need of support on your journey towards self-discovery

If you seek guidance from the Masterplant Aya and her little sister Cacao, they can offer you a new perspective on your authentic self. Cacao will help open your heart, while Aya illuminates it, shedding light on your deepest secrets and identifications hidden in the shadows. It's time to address what's been blocking you in the darkness, to understand it, and transform it into clarity. Aya initiates a process to restore natural balance on all levels, to live your truth.

If you're looking for a psychedelic party trip, our space may not be the right fit for you. But if you're on a quest to discover your authentic self, you're warmly welcomed here.

Experience an authentic purification and reconnection in our "Holistic Center" in the southern Caribbean of Costa Rica, where the indigenous people "Bribri" still cherish and practice the secrets of life to rediscover them and live out of themselves.

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.

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.
