The Retreat Experience

Welcome to the
Soul Journey Retreat

Set amidst the pristine beauty of the Costa Rican rainforest, our intimate retreats offer a sacred container for deep healing, plant medicine ceremony, and lasting personal rebirth.

A complete journey of preparation, ceremony, embodiment, reflection, integration, and return — created to help you meet the experience with clarity, presence, and care.

Transformational Work

A Complete Transformational Experience.

Ayahuasca can show you what needs to change. But seeing is not changing.

Lasting transformation asks for the courage and guidance to understand what arises, uncover the patterns beneath it, and bring insight into daily life. Soul Journey was built around that wider work — with the medicine held inside a process devoted to meaningful, lasting change.

The work draws on 25 years of transformational mastery and 4 years of integrating Ayahuasca & plant medicine with success. Throughout the journey, the emphasis remains on listening closely, understanding what is being revealed, and meeting the experience with personal responsibility and grounded support.

Personal

The work begins with the person in front of us, their history, and what is genuinely unfolding.

Connected

The group is intentionally held as a place for reflection, honest presence, and meaningful connection.

Responsive

The process makes room for what is present rather than forcing everyone into a fixed performance.

The Path

The Complete Soul Journey Path

This is not a retreat built around one intense moment. It is a connected transformational journey that begins before you arrive and continues after you return home.

01

Before You Travel

Prepare

The journey begins before you arrive, with intentional preparation, practical guidance, and space to clarify what you are ready to meet.

02

Integrate

The work continues after the retreat, as insight meets your relationships, choices, habits, creativity, and everyday life.

04

Held With Respect

Care & Readiness

Every part of the journey is approached through readiness, wellbeing, informed participation, and care for the person in front of us.

Prepare

Before You Travel to Costa Rica, Your Journey Begins at Home.

The journey begins before you arrive. Preparation is an opportunity to slow down, connect with the body, clarify your intentions, and step into the experience feeling informed, grounded, and supported.

Guided practices, practical guidance, food and lifestyle preparation, travel support, and intentional group connection help make the unknown more workable. You do not arrive at the retreat alone. The process has already begun.

Experience

The Costa Rica Experience

Once you arrive, the retreat brings together guided self-awareness work, education, embodiment practices, reflection, rest, nature, group connection, and integration support. You are not treated as a number. You are held as a person entering meaningful inner work.

The experience is designed to help the nervous system settle, the body soften, awareness deepen, and the process unfold within a clear and supportive container.

Integrate

Integration After You Return Home

The journey does not end when the retreat finishes. In many ways, the return home is where the work begins to become real. This is where insight starts to meet relationships, choices, habits, work, creativity, and everyday life.

Soul Journey is not interested in offering a powerful experience and then leaving people alone with it. Continued resources, guided reflection, and meaningful connection are designed to help insights become grounded practice.

Care & Readiness

Held Within Preparation, Respect, and Readiness.

Optional medicine ceremonies are approached with care, preparation, respect, and attention to each person’s readiness and wellbeing. They are held as part of a wider transformational process — not as isolated peak experiences.

Readiness Comes First

Participation is approached through clear communication, informed choice, and respect for individual wellbeing.

Part of the Wider Process

Preparation, embodiment, reflection, integration, and return hold the experience before, during, and after ceremony.

The Difference

Why Soul Journey Is Different

All ayahuasca retreats offer ceremony. Many offer beautiful locations and sincere care. Soul Journey offers a more complete transformational process built around preparation, ceremony, embodiment, reflection, integration, and return.

The setting matters. The guidance matters. The preparation matters. The integration matters. And your own participation matters deeply.

The ceremony is not the whole journey.

Participant Reflections

Real People. Real Stories. Real Transformation.

The retreat is a lived experience. These participant reflections are shared as personal stories, not promises of a particular outcome.
