Rediscover and reconnect to your higher self.

Our therapeutic ayahuasca retreat is designed to support healing, release, and restoration through an honest reflection of self and connection to spirit. Ayahuasca is a teacher that reveals the truth of all things. We are perfectly imperfect, encompassing both the light and the dark energies of the universe. It is through acceptance of this duality that we can fully embrace self-love and personal growth.

We welcome retreats of up to 14 participants from all over the world. Our groups come together as a family to support each other and share the ayahuasca experience. This authenticity and vulnerability create lifelong bonds. All are welcome.

Our eco-luxury sustainable facility is nestled in a tropical oasis less than one mile from Costa Rica’s gorgeous beaches. We offer a variety of room options to accommodate all travelers.

The ayahuasca retreat includes powerful ceremonies led by highly skilled facilitators, intimate groups, hatha yoga, intention meditations, sharing circles, nutritious vegan meals, and beach trips.

We hope you will join us.

A shaman is a person who interacts with the spiritual realm through altered states of consciousness.

Matthew has dedicated himself to mastering his craft. He has completed many master plant dietas and has learned valuable lessons in his years of facilitating ceremonies that have made him skilled in navigating energy, communicating with spirits, and creating a safe container for all participants. He has the support of many spiritual allies and protectors.

The ayahuasca shaman is responsible for guiding the experience. The ceremonial music is one of the most influential elements of the ayahuasca experience.

At New Life Ayahuasca, this includes Icaros (traditional medicine songs), guitar, drums, gong, singing bowls, bells, kalimba, and flute. Matthew has been passed down generational Icacros from his teacher, and he has developed his own unique style of chanting.

Matthew, a highly sensitive and intuitive empath, adapts the songs of the ceremony to meet the energy of the room. The songs of the spirit come to him, and his powerful voice carries them through the space. This is why it is so important to us to keep our groups intimate so that the energetic space is maintained with respect to each individual's experience.

"It's very difficult to describe what an amazing experience this was. Matt and Jeanae make you feel right at home upon arrival to their beautiful property. The rooms are amazing and very comfortable, and the view from the back porch every morning is breathtaking. Overall just a very positive energy surrounds this place and I instantly fell in love with it.. The ceremonies are unbelievably astonishing. Matt guides you through this intense experience with absolutely amazing Icaros, Gong, Drum, and Guitar. He becomes one with this medicine during ceremony, and it left me speechless. You can tell he puts 100% of his energy and passion into this, and I hold the upmost respect for him. Jeanae also plays the most beautiful sounding flute I've ever heard, and her presence during the ceremony is very soothing. Matt and Jeanae are very genuine and sincere people and I'm very grateful for what they have done for me. I cannot wait to go back!...Oh and Chopper is the coolest cat you will ever meet!" - Ryan 2016
