​The treatments are a potent and immersive experience that provides all the psychoactive benefits of the medicines in a concentrated period of time. Sessions range from a one day intensive or take place over a period of several days, gradually deepening the process and allowing for their effects to be processed and assimilated into self.

LOCATION

The treatments take place in the hills of Escazu, Costa Rica, a popular and safe destination for vacations and retreats. 
Please note that we are not a traditional retreat center with onsite accommodations and food service. We have adopted a flexible format to make the treatment available to any budget. Various accommodation options will be offered and meals are not a problem thanks to nearby restaurants, supermarkets and convenient food delivery. Travel to and from the sessions are included. 

THE SESSIONS

​The sessions are in the mornings or evenings and last an average of two to two and a half hours. They are held in an open-aired, serene sanctuary in our guides mountain home. This comfortable ceremonial space comes with fully equipped private bathrooms as well as mats and blankets. 
The sessions consist of a combination of medicines that together can create a powerful and profound healing experience and are accompanied by gently music, Tibetan bowls and aromatic Mexican Copal Incense
​

THE MEDICINES

The medicines consist of an extraordinary mix of elements that are combined to provide deeply transformative experiences
Picture
KAMBO: An extract obtained from an Amazonian tree frogs that when applied in minute quantities to the skin generates a powerful “healing crisis”.  Kambo is already being administered throughout the world for its cleansing and detoxifying qualities. Kambo creates both a visceral and powerful emotional response that assists in bringing up and releasing old wounds.
Picture
CHANGA: A smoking mixture that contains DMT,  the main psychoactive ingredient in Ayahuasca. Unlike Ayahuasca which lasts for several hours, pure DMT generates intensly beautiful visions and insights in a short period of time. ​
Picture
BUFO ALVARIUS: A naturally occurring psychedelic (5-MEO-DMT) present in the venom of the Bufo Alvarius toad.  Also inhaled through a pipe, however this experience is much deeper, as it dissolves ones sense of ego consciousness. Every persons experience is different - Bufo can guide you to the highest spiritual ecstasy, bring you face to face with your shadow, or tap into deeply hidden ancestral traumas. 
Picture
SANANGA: So much of our life is  experienced through our EYES. Yet we rarely attempt to heal and nurture them. Sananga is a highly astringent concentrate that purifies both the eyes and the emotional residue that remains embedded in the unconscious as visual memories. ​

RHAPÉ SNUFF: 'Shamanic snuff' is blown into the nose by the guide, Rhapé is a very intense, mind cleansing compound that helps us emotionally ground and preparare us for the Changa or Bufo experience.

MAGIC MUSHROOMS (PSILOCYBIN): Many of us have tasted Magic Mushrooms in a recreational setting. While still valuable, this has not given us the full therapeutic exposure to their extraordinary healing qualities. Incorporating magic mushrooms into your intensive will give you the experience of their true potential.
