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.

Life Changing
Thank you Neils and Frankie, and beautiful soul Kitty! And thank you my wonderful friend El who recommended this fantastic life changing journey.
I am in my late 50's and had not researched much as I trusted the recommendation. I went with my friend whom I also trusted. I have learned that this is the BEST experience you could hope for as the guest and ceremony size is limited an intimate safe space is created. The Medicine is authentic and the Shaman truly special.
As I integrate back into my regular life, I have experienced such a profound shift in the experience of myself and how I interact with others. I am so grateful! I am a mental health professional so have been working with others and on my own healing journey for a lifetime. I truly wish I had known about and taken the leap 20 years ago.
I worked closely with Neils and Kitty and both have made such a profound impact on my life, as did the other participants I was so privileged to share the journey with. I don't know how Ayahuasca and the Shamas know what is specifically needed for each person BUT IT and THEY DO AND IT WORKS! Don't wait! face your fears and change your entire life experience for the better.

Simply amazing
I've been to many different retreats with ayahuasca, and I can honestly say this was an expertly held container with incredible facilitators, maestros, well thought out schedule and venue. The details really matter, and safety really matters. Anam Cara did a amazing job all around. Francesca, Neils, and Kitty have a wide range of high level skills that really adds to the experience. Highly recommend

Profoundly grateful
Anam Cara provided an incredibly spiritual, powerful and safe environment for working with the medicine. I came in with a very intentional purpose to release trauma and my PTSD and I got this and SO much more. The retreat center is beautiful, the ceremonies were intimate and meaningful, and the results so far have been profound. I will recommend Anam Cara and Niels and Franchesca to anyone on a journey for healing. As a side note the food was AMAZING!
