Why is it important to follow the Safety Diet before attending a ceremony?
Our ceremonies involve sacred ancestral plants that work best when your body and spirit are fully prepared. The Safety Diet helps purify your system, allowing you to connect more deeply with the medicine and the Earth’s energy. It also ensures that you enter the ceremony with clarity and openness, ready to receive the divine feminine wisdom.
Which medications should I avoid before the ceremony?
Certain medications can interfere with the sacred medicines used in our ceremonies. To protect your health and enhance your experience, we ask that you avoid MAO inhibitors, SSRIs, and other contraindicated substances at least 4-6 weeks before attending. Please consult with our team if you are unsure about any medications you’re taking.
Can I attend the ceremony if I have a medical condition?
Your safety and well-being are our top priorities. If you have any serious medical conditions, especially related to your heart, liver, or kidneys, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider familiar with plant medicines before participating. We encourage open communication so we can create a safe and supportive environment for your journey.
Is it safe to attend the ceremony if I have a history of mental health issues?
While our ceremonies are deeply healing, they can also be intense. If you have a history of mental health issues, it’s crucial to discuss this with us beforehand so we can ensure the experience will be safe and supportive for you. We are here to guide you through this exploration with care and compassion.
What should I do if I am taking other plant medicines?
To honor the integrity of our sacred rituals, we recommend avoiding other strong plant medicines close to the retreat. This allows the energy of our ceremonies to work deeply within you without interference. Please let us know if you have been working with other plant medicines so we can provide personalized guidance.

1. Do I need a visa to enter Costa Rica?
Most visitors, including those from the United States, Canada, and many European countries, do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days. However, you will need a valid passport with at least six months remaining before expiration and proof of onward travel, such as a return ticket or a ticket to another destination.
2. What is the best way to get to the retreat center from the airport?
We recommend flying into Liberia Airport (LIR), the closest international airport to our retreat location. From there, you can take advantage of our coordinated shuttle services. Detailed instructions, including how to book your shuttle and what information to provide, will be sent to you after your registration.
3. What should I pack for my trip?
Costa Rica’s climate is warm and tropical, so lightweight, breathable clothing is ideal. For our retreat, we suggest comfortable clothes for yoga and movement, a swimsuit for any water activities, sturdy shoes for uneven terrain, and a rain jacket in case of showers. Don’t forget essentials like sunscreen, bug spray, and any personal medications.
4. Is it safe to drink the water in Costa Rica?
In most areas, including our retreat location, tap water is safe to drink. However, if you have a sensitive stomach or prefer extra caution, bottled water is widely available.
5. Is travel insurance required for the retreat?
Travel insurance is not required to attend the retreat, but it is highly recommended. A good travel insurance plan can provide coverage for unexpected situations such as flight delays, lost luggage, medical emergencies, or trip cancellations. When choosing a plan, consider one that includes international coverage for Costa Rica and any adventurous activities you might participate in during your stay.
