About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

During our retreats, we encourage vulnerability and compassion in a heart-based container where profound transformation is catalyzed by the powerful healing properties of Ayahuasca served by deeply gifted Shipibo Maestros from the Peruvian Amazon. We complement traditional indigenous plant medicine ceremonies with a trauma-informed, body-based therapeutic approach, and long-term ongoing integration support to help you flourish in the ever-unfolding possibilities of sustainable and lasting transformation.
This intimate plant medicine retreat takes place near the town of Nosara, on the Guanacaste Penninsula in the generous lands of Costa Rica. Our luxury retreat space is immersed in a secluded environment surrounded by lush jungle, breathtaking ocean views and healing nature. The sacred land will submerge you into a supportive place to explore the beauty of nature while you embark on your personal plant medicine journey with a family of world-renowned Shipibo Maestros and highly experienced facilitator support.
This all-inclusive event includes 3 Ayahuasca ceremonies, with Ayahuasca grown, harvested, and brewed by our family of Shipibo maestros in the Amazon jungle of Peru. Included in your private retreat cost will be daily yoga, breathwork, hikes in nature, sacred plant baths, integration circles, community activities, and a highly experienced facilitation team there to support your process fully. All organic meals are included and intentionally prepared with love to best support your health and medicine work. This luxury retreat center offers beautiful rooms all equipped with private bathrooms, hot showers, and beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean leaving you feeling comfortable in your space and fully supported in diving deep into this immersive medicine experience.
We honor and acknowledge that each person's relationship with plant medicine and healing journey is intimate and highly personal, with an array of different needs. Our approach to this work is to meet each guest where they are at in their process, honor their individuality, and provide a safe container of connection and healing.

Heart Opening and Insightful
This was my first time journeying with Ayahuasca and it was a beautiful experience through the visions, challenges, and insights of this powerful and awesome plant medicine. I have a greater understanding and thankfulness for the miracle of how the earth and plants can heal us and connect to us. It is hard to put into words the gratitude I have for Francesca and Neils, the Maestros, and the amazing, supportive team they assembled. I received deep healing, huge insights, and my heart is more fully opened in such a beautiful way! Big bonus . . . the food was absolutely delicious! I felt so nurtured, supported and connected!

The reset I didn't know I needed
My experience at Anam Cara was inspiring and life changing. Francesca and Neils are incredible people who've crafted a grounding and sacred space for attendees providing a blend of individual and group support. I felt tended to by them both along with the incredible individuals in my group who were open and accepting throughout the week. Each day presented a new activity to help open and expand our journey. From Yoga and Breathwork with Kitty, to group shares and plant baths. Anam Cara exceeded any expectations and helped to open my heart and mind to even more joy in life and deepen the relationships in my life.

What a wild experience. So grateful to have had both Francesca and Neils guiding the way. Their compassionate and experienced approach to connecting with the medicine was paramount in breaking through my own personal barriers and apprehensions. Breathwork with Kitty only enhanced the experience. The maestros were intuitive in their healing processes. Their songs and medicine will be with me for a long time. So grateful to have had this experience with such beautiful and devoted humans. Much appreciation and love for all their hard work and dedication to healing all of us who seek it.

Neils and Francesca are like a warm hug, compassionately holding themselves and others in the light of truth. The ayahuasca retreat was unlike any other work I’ve done. I highly recommend the experience for anyone looking to expand their heart. I’ll certainly do this again!
