"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.

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)

New Year's Retreat
Nosara, Costa Rica
December 28th, 2022 - January 2nd, 2023
Start the new year free of your past, grounded and reconnected to your truth, clear and focused with renewed vision for 2023 and beyond. Work with the medicines of Huachuama and the Sacred Mushroom to drop any walls that keep you from knowing the depth of your own love. Connect with others and the sacred plant medicine community that comes together this New Year's Eve. Crawl into the womb of mother Earth on New Year's day as we allow ourselves to be reborn in a Temazcal Ceremony. Crystalize the vision of your future and walk with the teacher of love in 2023.
What to expect
In all of our retreats we place a great emphasis on recognizing and remembering the love that is ever present within your being. So often in this life we have let false ideas and beliefs be the foundation of our existence and being. We use sacred plant medicines to bring awareness and compassion to these thoughts while also providing a supportive foundation that can replace old patterns. Having spent decades cultivating these spaces, we truly believe that these retreat spaces can transform your life and help you wake up into the true reality, thereby Remembering Love.
We work with different modalities, some of which are created to weave together in unison to allow the being within you to shine forth and the darkness of any limiting beliefs to fade into the nothingness from whence they came.
Sacred Mushroom Ceremony
Be met by the sacred mushrooms and allow yourself the opportunity to sit and learn from the spirit of these ancient teachers in an intimate, safe and loving space. When holding this space, we honor the native traditions of Maliollin and connect with the spirit of Teonanacatl (Hongos Sagrados). Within this native tradition of Mexico, the ritual and use of Teonanacatl is used to open our hearts, expand our consciousness, and connect with all parts of our being, including the parts that we do not want to see, where fears or pain may reside.
Huachuma Ceremony
New Year's Eve ceremony that allows you to step into the sacred power of the San Pedro plant medicine with Eran Fakir, a highly respected, gifted healer and musician. He has been on the sacred medicine path for over 17 years.
Somatic Release Workshops
Within a safe and well held container allow yourself to experience the release of trauma and tension stored within the mind that expresses release through the body. We are capable of helping you work through any number of emotions such as fear, anger, frustration, stress, anxiety, depression, sadness, abandonment, resentment, guilt or shame. Moving beyond these emotions and the thoughts and stories that created them is paramount to come into the experience of oneness and love.
Rebirth Temazcal Ceremony
Enter into prayer as you work with the spirit of fire, earth, water, wind and the four directions. In this ritual, we invite deep reflection and connection with our ancestors as we release and clear that which no longer serves us from the past, connect with and give gratitude for our ancestors and put forth prayer and intention for what we are calling into our future. We pray for not only ourselves but for all our relations in this tradition. This ritual can be a profound rebirth and support the integration process after deep work with other medicines we offer.
Holotropic Breathwork
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.
Enjoy luxurious accommodations and breathtaking views of San Juanillo. Delight in delicious organic & vegetarian meal options to nourish the body during this transformative retreat.
Authentic Connection Circles
A process through which one is able to get to the root of all ideas and stories around who and what we believe we are. This is done in the moment, in authentic expression to allow for one to really look, with honesty and genuineness at what seems to be happening in any given moment within oneself. Inspired from the Buddhist tradition and popularized by many mindfulness teachers, this practice is another way to become hyper aware of the mind and all of its inner workings. We approach this with a radical lens where everything you believe you are, have been or could ever be is brought into question and placed under the microscope of awareness.
Integration Support
Working with plant medicines is a process that is best supported through time and integration. ​
-
Post Ceremony Integration: After each ceremony, we hold in-person integration sessions.
-
One-one sessions: Are available throughout the retreat to offer support whenever you are moving through an emotion or trigger.
-
Post Retreat Group Calls: We connect with each group for up to two hours a week or so after the retreat ends and then again a month or so later. We weave our lives back in with the lessons and teachings of the time spent together to help bring clarity and solidity to our foundations.
