What retreats cost in Costa Rica

Is a retreat suitable for someone experiencing ayahuasca for the first time?

Yes. For someone experiencing ayahuasca for the first time, we often encourage the week-long retreat when time allows: the additional time gives you space to experience the medicine, rest between ceremonies, integrate what arises and receive support throughout the process.

Our shorter weekend retreat can also be appropriate for people with limited time.

How many ayahuasca ceremonies are included?

The Weekend / 3-Day retreat includes two traditional ceremonies. The 7-day retreat includes three, spaced throughout the week to allow time for rest, integration and preparation between experiences.

Who serves the medicine?

Our ceremonies are held with Indigenous facilitators, including Indigenous families and visiting tribes from Brazil, Peru and Colombia who bring their own traditions, prayers, songs and relationship with the medicine.

How many people attend a retreat?

Events are intimate, with a maximum of 30 guests.

What happens if I take antidepressants or other medications?

Certain medications can interact dangerously with ayahuasca. If you are taking antidepressants or other medications that may be contraindicated, they must be addressed before participating, and we can help you make a plan.

Any reduction or discontinuation of prescribed medication should be done with your doctor or prescribing healthcare professional, never abruptly or without medical guidance.

Is there a medical screening before the retreat?

Yes. Medical screening is part of our retreat process: we do a thorough intake before and during the interviewing process.

If anything changes with your medical status before you arrive (a new diagnosis, hospitalization, surgery, or new medications or supplements), tell us and we will work with you to make sure the retreat is still a good fit, rescheduling at no additional cost if needed.

What airport do I fly into?

The closest airport is Liberia International Airport (LIR) in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. OM Jungle Medicine is approximately two hours from Liberia airport.

Does everyone purge?

Purging can happen, but it does not look the same for everyone. It may include vomiting or diarrhea, but it can also appear as yawning, sweating, shaking, laughing or crying. All are perfect; one is not better than the rest.

What type of accommodation is available?

Shared accommodation is a women's or men's space where you have your own private sleeping pod, allowing you privacy within a shared environment. Semi-private and private solo cabinas are also available, subject to availability.

Are meals included?

Yes. Farm-to-table, locally sourced meals are included throughout your stay.

What integration support is available?

Integration begins before you arrive and continues after you leave. When you register, you join a WhatsApp group for preparation, connection and support, and it remains open after the retreat.

Retreats include integration sessions, and when someone needs additional individual support, we can provide referrals to integration coaches.

How do I book, and what is the deposit?

A 50% non-refundable deposit holds your spot; the remaining 50% is paid in cash at check-in. If you need to reschedule 7 or more days before the event, your deposit transfers to a future stay within one year.

Please do not make travel arrangements until you receive your registration confirmation from our screening staff.
