"I absolutely loved working with Jessica. She is able to create such a safe and nurturing, loving space which allowed me to open up all the way and that is where true transformation happens. I felt completely accepted as I am and I could let go and surrender all the way. Her wisdom, dedication and devotion to sacred ceremonies is deeply inspiring and enabled me to benefit in every aspect. A life changing experience. I can only highly recommend working with her." - Gisela (Retreat Participant)

Knowing Love
with Grandmother Ayahuasca
Chirripo, Costa Rica
August 18th - August 25th, 2023
Stepping into love is a choice. A choice that must be made everyday, but one must first free themselves from everything that stands in the way. Let this retreat be the catalyst that opens that door or allows you to step further into the path you've already chosen. We work with the sacred medicine of Ayahuasca while also supporting this deep work with workshops created to free your mind of limiting ideas and beliefs.




3 Ayahuasca Ceremonies
Be met by the sacred plant medicine in this intimate ceremony held by our teacher & dear friend who has been working within the Peruvian lineage of Don Solón for over 15 years. Experience 3 nights of the traditional Icaros that carry the healing vibrations of the plants and has been used within these indigenous traditions for thousands of years.
Temazcal (Sweat Lodge)
Enter into the womb of Mother Earth in this ancient indigenous tradition of physical detoxification, prayer, fire and the symbolic rebirth that occurs within the space.
Somatic Release Workshops
Created to support the work of the plant medicine, these workshops aim to allow a deeper level of awareness to be present around one's emotions and thoughts. Starting at the foundation allows one to become more aware of the inner workings of the mind and how it impacts the body and life experience. Break through fears, welcome love, free yourself from shame, guilt or any emotion that keeps you from being free.
Breathwork Sessions
All of life is experienced with breath. Let this powerful, therapeutic breathwork practice be an additional opportunity to expand your awareness or move any stuck energy within the mind & body. Our offering was developed specifically to help promote emotional and energetic release that may come up during retreat.
Rapé Ceremony (Sacred Tobacco)
Experience this sacred Amazonian Tobacco medicine in this deeply meditative and releasing ceremony. Rapé has been used for centuries to clear the energetic field, open the pineal gland and release emotional buildups.
Authentic Connection
Learn to cultivate a deeper awareness of the mind & emotions within through this conscious relating practice. Utilize this art to deepen your relationships with your partner and remove walls that keep one from truly being present with another.
Integration Support
Working with the Grandmother Medicine is a process that is best supported through time and integration. These integration circles are designed to provide further processing time and support, both during retreat and afterwards with 2 follow-up calls.
Cacao Ceremony
Open your heart with the Sacred Cacao medicine and weave the sound of music into your being during this ceremony of love and connection.
Meditation & Movement
Bring in the practice of meditation and movement into your day to help bring focus into the mind and lift the vibration of your being.
Explore The Land
Delight in beautiful trails and a river within steps of your room. Cleanse in these healing waters and allow the energy of the Chirripo mountain to revitalize your soul.
