Shipibo Ayahuasca Retreats
in Nosara, Costa Rica
We offer soulful retreats that weave ancient indigenous wisdom with modern therapies, cultivating a sacred space for profound personal transformation and collective healing.
THE EXPERIENCE
Held in a safe, intimate, and heart-centered space, our week-long retreats are guided by Ayahuasca—an ancient plant medicine deeply rooted in the healing traditions of the Amazon.
Our ceremonies are led by highly respected Shipibo curanderos, indigenous wisdom keepers and master healers who have dedicated their lives to this sacred ancestral medicine.
Our Approach
We weave traditional plant medicine ceremonies with trauma-informed somatic therapies, and long-term integration support.
Rooted in the wisdom of ancestral Amazonian Shamanism and enriched by modern practices, our retreats are a powerful journey of movement, breath, sound, and authentic expression that allow for profound and lasting transformation to take place.
Each retreat is an act of devotion—a commitment to restoring our wholeness, reconnecting with our true nature, remembering that aliveness is our birthright.

Our vision
Through deep connection to ourselves and the earth, we awaken to the full spectrum of our human experience—rediscovering the unique tapestry of what it means to be both human and divine.
By clearing the obstacles to healing and remembering our innate wholeness, we restore harmony within and all around us. By honoring and preserving indigenous traditions, we uphold those who have carried this medicine for centuries, ensuring the wisdom of these lineages remain alive and sacred.
Sacred Circles, our Plant Medicine Integration Journal, is a helpful companion for your path.
Rooted in science and soul, this journal offers space to reflect, track emotional shifts, and stay connected to the insights you receive while healing with plant medicines and ceremony work.
At Anam Cara, every retreat is offered with deep care and respect for the curanderos who carry this sacred tradition.
We are honored to collaborate with the Ayni Plant Project, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting our curanderos, their families, and their communities. This partnership allows us to remain in right relationship with the lineage, offering each retreat in integrity and reciprocity.
