If you have awakened to the immense value and power of integration, this retreat is a rare opportunity to learn more modalities of integration, and to practice them real-time with fellow participants. The retreat features 2 authentic Vine ceremonies, and 1 magical Cactus journey. There will be four integration workshops, lots of one on one support, a traditional Temazcal, and many more incredible offerings too. Come travel the cosmos and integrate the adventure with us!

All participants will arrive at any time that is convenient into the San Jose, Costa Rica airport (SJO). You'll procure your own transportation (cabs are inexpensive) to a local hotel; we will reserve a discounted block of rooms and share the location with each participant. Everyone is encouraged to get a good night's sleep, as the shuttle leaves at 8 am the next morning from the hotel.

The shuttle will leave the hotel at 8 am with all participants - it's about a 3.5 hour drive to our gorgeous sanctuary. Upon arrival, everyone will check in and receive a tour of the retreat, as well as access to their assigned accommodations. We will then have a light, delicious lunch, and gather together for our opening talking circle. We'll get to know each other, discuss the format of the retreat, meet the team, and connect with the land, asking for permission to do our sacred work. We’ll have our first integration workshop that evening, sharing tools for folks to use throughout the week.

After breakfast, the Temazcal ceremony is offered. We will enjoy lunch, and then connect as a tribe to prepare for the first Aya ceremony, which happens later in the evening. After the ceremony circle is closed, we will light a spirit fire and invite folks to end the night in the vibration of this magical element.

After breakfast, we will offer heavenly flower baths, working with our intentions and connecting with the land. We’ll then have our second integration workshop, working with the things that arose in the first ceremony. After dinner, we’ll come together for a talk about Huachuma, learning more about this medicine and history, and then get a good night’s sleep.

The morning will feature a beautiful waterfall walk after breakfast, and then later in the afternoon, we will have personal interviews in preparation for the second Aya ceremony, scheduled for the evening. A fire circle will be organized after the ceremony is complete.

After breakfast and morning flower baths, we’ll have a lovely lunch, and then we will have a third integration workshop, diving into small groups so we can each play the role of integration coach. We’ll have a nourishing dinner, and then go to be early to prepare for the Huachuma ceremony.

It’s Huachuma Day! The ceremony begins at 9 am, after a very light breakfast, and is an all-day experience. We will have walks to the river, rituals in the maloka, meditations, time with the land, opportunities to connect with each other - it’s a magical, heart-opening adventure :)

On our last day as a family; we will have a celebration with Mama Cacao - asking her medicine to ground us, to connect us to our hearts, and to celebrate the incredible week we’ve had. Then we will give back to the land in a lovely tree planting ceremony. After lunch, we’ll have our final integration workshop, learning somatic tools and really embodying the lessons of the week. Then we’ll have a celebratory dinner that night, and a fire ceremony as a grand send off!

After a final breakfast and a chance to honor the incredible retreat staff, we will hop on a shuttle back to the San Jose airport. We encourage everyone to book flights home no earlier than 2:00 pm local time to ensure plenty of time to make our flights. For those that want to explore Costa Rica further, we are happy to offer suggestions and assist with transportation.
