Psilocybin & Cacao Retreat for Clarity & Transformation in Costa Rica

A Guided Journey Into Clarity, Healing & Deep Self-Connection

Overview & Summary

Hi, this is Fern and Maxim 🙂 We’re really happy you’re here and feeling into this experience.

This retreat is a deeply personal, guided journey.

Everything we offer is fully customized to you: your intentions, your emotional landscape, your experience level, and what you feel ready for.

We only host one person at a time.

This is not a group retreat. Not a psychedelic tourism experience. Not something you just “try out.”

This is a safe, intentional, and supported space to explore yourself, your patterns, your emotions, and your deeper truth.

We combine preparation, integration, cacao, breathwork, sound healing, and supportive practices into a grounded, carefully guided experience, always centered around safety, presence, and respect.

This work can be powerful. It can be emotional. It can be deeply revealing.

Many guests experience this work as profoundly meaningful, clarifying, emotionally powerful, and deeply supportive.

What This Experience Is (And Isn’t)

This experience is:

• a guided, supported inner journey
• intentional, slow, and personalized
• rooted in safety, preparation, and integration
• about truth, clarity, and real transformation

This experience is not:

• a recreational or party experience
• something rushed or surface-level
• a group ceremony with strangers
• about escaping your life – but about meeting it more honestly

Who This Is For

This retreat is for you if:

• you feel called to explore psilocybin in a safe and supported environment
• you are seeking clarity, direction, or deeper self-understanding
• you are moving through a life transition or emotional challenge
• you want to release patterns, fears, or limiting beliefs
• you are curious about consciousness, healing, and inner exploration
• you want guidance and support – not just an experience, also integration

This experience is open to:

• solo travelers on a personal journey
• creatives, seekers, and conscious explorers
• people looking for a safe and grounded introduction to psilocybin work

This Retreat Is An Invitation To

• meet yourself honestly and deeply
• access insights beyond the thinking mind
• release emotional weight and old patterns
• reconnect with your intuition and inner guidance
• explore consciousness in a grounded and supported way

This Retreat Is A Space To

• feel safe and held throughout your entire journey
• explore without pressure, expectation, or overwhelm
• move at your own pace, guided but not pushed
• integrate your experience into real life

What You’ll Experience

Every retreat is personalized.

• guided reflection and integration sessions
• journaling, nature time, and personalized support

We carefully guide the entire process: before, during, and after the ceremony.

The Ceremony Experience

A Carefully Held Inner Journey

The deeper journey takes place in a lush, private shala just steps from the beach, surrounded by the soothing sound of ocean waves and the vibrant energy of the jungle.

These experiences are designed with care to support personal insight, emotional reflection, presence, and integration, using grounding practices such as meditative breathwork, somatic movement, sound frequencies, and medicine music.

Every element of the experience is designed to support you: physically, emotionally, and energetically.

What Makes This Retreat Special

Let’s be honest: there are many psychedelic retreats out there. But this one is different.

This is not a group ceremony. This is not a one-time experience without support.

This is a deeply personal, guided, and integrated journey.

You are not just participating in a ceremony – you are entering a carefully held space, designed around your unique needs and readiness.

We combine experience, intuition, and responsibility to guide you safely.

Why this retreat is the one:

Private & Personalized

Only you. No group dynamics.

Your preparation, environment, pace, and integration are all tailored to you.

Safety First

We take screening, preparation, and support seriously.

We carefully assess if this experience is right for you and guide you responsibly.

Your well-being is always the priority.

Guided, Not Left Alone

We are present throughout the journey.

This is not something you go through by yourself – you are supported, held, and guided.

Integration-Focused

The ceremony is only part of the journey.

We help you understand, process, and integrate what comes up, so the experience actually creates lasting change.

A Grounded Approach to Plant Medicine

This is not about escaping reality.

This is about meeting it more honestly.

We work in a way that is respectful, intentional, and grounded: Combining traditional wisdom with modern understanding.

Our approach is held with deep reverence for the wisdom of plant-medicine traditions, the land of Costa Rica, and the communities who have stewarded sacred practices for generations. Inspired by the lineage of María Sabina and the wisdom and traditions of the Bribri Indigenous Community and Mayan cacao guardians.

The materials we use, such as the cacao, are ethically and sustainably sourced locally near Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, honoring both the land and the communities who steward these medicines.

How We Approach Safety And Support

We know this kind of work requires deep trust.

That’s why we take screening, preparation, presence, and responsibility seriously at every step.

• We screen carefully before accepting anyone into the retreat
• We discuss your health, background, and intentions openly
• We provide clear preparation guidelines before you arrive
• We are present and attentive throughout the experience
• We offer integration support so you are not left alone afterward
• We have established protocols and access to local medical support if ever needed

With more than 10 years of personal and facilitation experience in this field, we have supported many people through deep inner journeys, always with care, presence, and respect.

You are never pushed. You are never left alone. You are always supported.

What You’ll Leave With (Benefits)

Many guests have shared that they experienced:

• deeper clarity about your life and direction
• emotional release and inner lightness
• new perspectives on yourself and your patterns
• a stronger connection to your intuition
• tools to integrate and continue your journey

Our Approach: Where Science, Spirit & Human Connection Meet

We are Fern & Maxim, partners in life and devoted guides in this work.

With more than two decades of combined experience in somatic healing, breathwork, meditation, sound healing, movement, ceremony, and transformational work, we weave together ancient wisdom and modern therapeutic understanding into experiences that feel grounded, safe, intuitive, and deeply human.

More than certifications or modalities, what shapes this work most is the way we live.

We’ve spent years creating a life centered around presence, nature, conscious community, creativity, healing, and meaningful human connection here on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.

And it is through these sacred medicines and practices that our own lives have softened, expanded, and transformed in profound ways.

This is the energy we hold you in.

Much more than just as facilitators: as open-hearted human beings walking beside you.

Before the retreat, we connect with you and prepare you carefully.

This is not just a moment – it’s a process that continues to unfold.

Final Invitation

If you feel the call to go deeper… If something in you is ready to be seen, released, and understood… Trust that feeling.

This isn’t a vacation. It’s a journey into yourself. A space for truth, clarity, and transformation.

Many guests have shared afterward that the experience felt life-changing, eye-opening, and deeply valuable.

Do you wish that for yourself?

It takes courage to say yes to something like this. And something in you already knows.
