6-Day Seed-to-Cup Ayahuasca & Spiritual Recovery Journey (Limit 5 Guests)

I write this 3 months after completing the retreat... Nestled in the serene mountain landscape, under the stars, this ayahuasca retreat provided an ideal environment for a profound and life-changing experience.

The setting fostered a sense of connection and safety, allowing me to fully immerse in the journey of self-discovery. As a solo traveler, attending my first ceremony, this was a unique experience and Erick was the perfect person to guide me. From the moment of arrival, Erick (the shaman with no feathers), exuded a calm and intellectual presence that put the situation at ease. He immediately laid out that this was MY journey, and he was only there to protect and guide me in a safe environment. And followed through on every promise.

When you first arrive, it feels like stumbling upon an Airbnb you booked online, and a natural sense of 'am I in the right place?' when you quickly come to realize that you are 'home' and surrounded by local culture & family who are all watching out for your well-being. The addition of Odin, Erick's trusted canine companion, brought an extra layer of warmth and reassurance to the stay.

The retreat provided fulfilling meals and fruit, which was a relief after worrying and researching about the dieta prior to attending - meals are sourced from local neighbors and gardens each day, and were above expectations.

The ceremony itself was nothing short of amazing, providing a powerful experience, healing, and a deeper spiritual connection. We reflected on intentions before and after, and the safe environment allowed for a truly transformative ceremony, while also being educating on the effects of plant medicine.

The experience extended beyond the ayahuasca ceremony itself. Erick coordinated Uber/Transportation for a refreshing waterfall hike on the off day, and also ensured safe transportation back to San Jose. There were some questions about payments initially (coming from US), but after meeting Erick it's more of an 'app' issue in CR than a payment issue and was very flexible in working with me to find a solution without stress (Crypto was fastest/easiest!) The immediate trust with Erick, in person, and his kind soul made it much easier to digest in person than over WhatsApp, as well as reviews such as this one.

In the 3 months since my journey, I have maintained sobriety. A testament to the powerful healing opportunity Erick offers. We discussed how to integrate the learnings back into my own reality, and shared different readings, books, life experiences, and podcasts we found relatable. Erick has a great sense of humor, but his main focus is your journey, your 'why', and your intentions, and is there to help you navigate as everyone's journey is different.

For those seeking a deeply meaningful and potentially life-changing experience, this ayahuasca retreat comes highly recommended. The combination of expert guidance, a safe and intimate setting, and the powerful effects of the medicine itself create an opportunity for profound personal growth and healing. Thank you Erick! I hope to return when called again.. Tom Kenyon - Upon the Indigenous Sea.
