Shamanic Journey with Ayahuasca

Find your purpose, heal & discover answers in a serene Rainforest Retreat

Samasati’s 8-day Ayahuasca Retreat offers a life transforming journey of self-discovery and healing. You will be in a space where you can let your guard down, be yourself and be accepted and loved for who you are. You do not have to feel like you have to be someone else to feel validated here.

While intentions can vary from person to person, the general goals are to:

• gain a clearer understanding of yourself & find your purpose
• find answers to any problems you may be facing
• foster deeper and more meaningful relationships
• heal from trauma
• generally empower you on your life journey.

Everything is done safely in a harmonizing environment and in direct contact with nature.  A connection that has been diluted, and in some cases severed, by the modern lifestyle and technology. You will be in the care of experienced & empathetic guides who have performed several hundred ceremonies for thousands of people around the world.  Your safety and well-being is our utmost priority.

But can a week in the Rainforest deeply immersed in indigenous medicines heal you from your past traumas?  It all depends on you. If you are ready to do the work that comes with knowing that you are the one who is coming to save yourSelf.

What others have said about their experience

Everybody is just filled with love and support. Community. Made life long friends. And healing that you can never get outside of this. And not only that you have support through your healing journey. The shaman are magic. The staff are earth angels.

I have lived 40 years in pain.  And I now feel free.

• Kim C

What happened was indescribable. I always thought that i was going to die of a broken heart. But these shaman have healed me. And healed things that i did not know even existed in me. The experience really has changed the whole trajectory of my life. The place was mystical and the people enchanting. I made forever friends and cannot wait to get back.

• Amy Jo

Over the past 39 years i have been through so many different heart breaks and losses.  I came here because i wanted to truly do some deep healing.  I am leaving with everything I needed.  I asked for my heart to be healed and my heart is healed. I was able to actually let go. Forgive my body and see that my truth is beautiful and filled with a whole bunch of joy.  I not only got everything  I needed here but i am walking away with amazing friendships. I am an introvert and not a person who loves to mingle and connect and share my life story, but that just came naturally and everyone here was so opening for me.

You will be called when the time is right for you

When the time is right for you to take a closer look at the inner workings of yourSelf, consider joining us under the Rainforest canopy for a guided journey with Ayahuasca. A journey with Ayahuasca is never scripted with a predictable outcome.  It brings you where you need to be, not necessarily where you want to be at the moment. There you will find the pieces of yourSelf you have hidden away. The ones that need your love and compassion the most. Ayahuasca will bring your truth to the surface.  Sometimes she is gentle and sometimes she is not.  Your experience will be the medicine you need at this moment.

We will be there to support you with watchful eyes filled with compassion and understanding.  We have traveled this path to ourselves before.  We know the twist and turns of the road you wish to follow. We know what it feels like to have a deep desire to shed the delusions of Self we have collected over our lifetimes.  We know how scary it can be to release what is known even when it is to allow for more beauty and more love.

The itinerary below is a sample of how the retreat will unfold.

We are honored to share space with the ecologist and medicine woman, Karen Gordon of the Center for Sacred Ecology.  Karen is a light-filled being whose authentic joy permeates the air around her. She brings a lifetime of inquisitive study and practice to the ceremonies she leads.  She has been carefully guided by Peruvian Maestros who saw within her a unique vessel to carry forth the medicine of the jungle. Karens path as a dedicated student of plant medicine has brought to the feet of Peruvian maestros including her primary teacher Don Carlos Chavez.  Karen is steeped in the Peruvian Mestizos tradition and lineage that is held be Don Jose Campos.

Last year when Don Campos was imprisoned in Mexico City, Karen mobilized the plant medicine community of Costa Rica into action. From those actions and with the help of the International Center of Ethnobotanical Education and Services (ICEERS) the La Alianza Plantas Sagradas (The Sacred Plant Alliance: LAPS) was founded.  LAPS aims to protect the plants and their keepers while increasing awareness of best practices and standards in the plant medicine community in Costa Rica.

**Engaging with these medicines is a serious decision.  We encourage everyone to fully educate themselves on the effects Ayahuasca can have on individuals.  Discuss any medications you are taking with your doctor to decide if Ayahuasca is right for you.
