The Place
Held by the jungle, met by the sea.
Our sanctuary sits where the rainforest meets the Pacific, on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula — one of the world’s five Blue Zones. Open-air malocas, ocean breezes, and the sound of howler monkeys at dawn. A landscape that does half the healing for you.

FAQ
Questions, honestly answered.
Still unsure? Our team would rather talk you out of it than have you arrive unready.
Talk to our teamWhen held properly, yes. Every guest is medically screened, and a clinical team is present at all times. We decline guests for whom the medicine carries undue risk — your safety is never negotiable.
Not at all. Most of our guests are first-timers. Our preparation protocol and facilitators guide you through every step, whatever your starting point.
Some medications — particularly SSRIs and certain others — interact with the medicine. Our medical team reviews this with you in detail before you commit to a date.
You’ll receive a guided protocol covering diet, lifestyle, and intention-setting in the weeks before arrival. The more you prepare, the more spacious the experience.
Integration is where the lasting change happens. You’ll have integration calls, access to a private community, and resources for as long as you need them.
