REVIVE Radical Belonging

Jan 31 - Feb 7, 2026​

Playa Junquillal, Costa Rica

REVIVE is a sacred medicine retreat for those called to expand with intention - not chase peak moments. Across five ceremonies in eight days, the work is held with trauma-informed facilitation, somatic support, and spacious integration, so what opens in ceremony can take root in your body and in your life. This is radical belonging: a steady container where your truth is welcomed, your nervous system is honored, and freedom is remembered through sovereignty - not performance.

Retreat Experience

REVIVE

Radical Belonging - The Path to Soul Freedom

Discover deep acceptance, authentic connection, and the liberation of living as your true self.

A sacred 8-day jungle medicine wellness retreat in Costa Rica

At the heart of every REVIVE retreat is a sacred intention: to guide you on the journey from fear into freedom. This alchemy is the essence of all our gatherings, and each retreat carries its own unique expression within that larger current. For this retreat, our path is Radical Belonging - an embodied remembrance that true freedom is found not in isolation, but in connection… in being fully seen, held, and celebrated as your authentic self.

 

In a world that often asks us to shrink, hide, or perform, this week offers a sanctuary where you can shed the armor, release old stories, and reclaim your birthright of belonging. You will be welcomed into a trauma-informed, heart-centered container where strangers become soul family, and where every part of you… light, shadow, and everything in between - is honored.

 

Through five sacred medicine ceremonies, guided with reverence and care, we will journey together into the heart of transformation:

 

Included

Intimate Luxurious Setting:

  • 8 - 12 participants

5 Jungle Medicine Ceremony Offerings: 

  • Rapé - The sacred shamanic snuff that clears mental fog and grounds the body, helping us arrive fully present. It activates the pineal gateway, quiets the noise of the mind, and sharpens focus so intentions can take root. Rapé is both cleansing and centering, creating a doorway into ceremony where clarity, humility, and prayer guide the path ahead.

  • Kambo - (Known as the “medicine of the jungle warrior,” Kambo purifies body, mind, and spirit. Its powerful secretion contains bioactive peptides that strengthen the immune system, reset cellular function, and stimulate deep detoxification. Beyond the physiological, Kambo clears stagnant energies, fear, and heaviness, restoring vitality and creating spaciousness for renewal, resilience, and trust.

  • Bufo - The sacred toad medicine, often called the “God molecule,” carries us beyond the limits of the self into pure Source. By powerfully activating the serotonin system, Bufo silences the brain’s default mode network, the region responsible for self-referential thought and the narratives of separation. In this dissolution, the ego melts away, opening the gateway to unity consciousness. The medicine also catalyzes profound neuroplasticity, rewiring pathways of perception and possibility so that we may return with renewed clarity, creativity, and freedom. In its embrace, fear dissolves, and we awaken to the infinite belonging of All That Is.

  • Heart Plants - With an MDMA-like effect, these gentle allies awaken compassion, tenderness, and love. They soften defenses, open the pathways of vulnerability, and invite us to feel safe in our own hearts. By melting resistance, Heart Plants help us rediscover the innocence of connection, teaching that Radical Belonging begins with self-acceptance and blossoms into love for others.

  • Spirit Plants - Ancient teachers that expand perception and invite deep inner exploration. Spirit Plants open doors to intuition, vision, and communion with the unseen, guiding us through layers of psyche and soul. When paired with Heart Plants, their wisdom becomes more accessible, as the heart’s openness allows us to receive the Spirit’s teachings with gentleness, reverence, and integration.

  • Wachuma (San Pedro) - Known as the Grandfather medicine of the Andes, Wachuma opens the heart and expands perception through frequencies of compassion, unity, and truth. Its active compound, mescaline, quiets the analytical mind and harmonizes the brain and heart, allowing us to see life through the eyes of love. Wachuma teaches connection - to self, to others, and to the natural world... dissolving the illusion of separation and reawakening reverence for all living beings. It reveals beauty in everything, reminding us that heaven and earth are not distant realms, but states of awareness available in every breath. Gentle yet profoundly illuminating, Wachuma guides us home to the radiant simplicity of existence itself.

Itinerary

Step into a sacred week designed to guide you from fear into freedom - the heart of every REVIVE retreat. This gathering carries the theme of Radical Belonging, an embodied remembrance that liberation is not found in isolation but in connection: in being fully seen, held, and celebrated as your authentic self. In a world that often asks us to dim our light, here you are invited to release the armor, soften into truth, and reclaim your birthright of belonging within community, nature, and Spirit. We need spaces where we can drop our masks, where we can put down our Facebooks and be together in our realness. We need places where we can tell the truth about our human lives. This is that space... where you can be exactly who you are - accepted and loved fully in a container where you know on a deep soul level you belong... messy and miraculous - all of you is welcome!

 

We honor the phoenix as a timeless symbol of rebirth. It rises not only from the ashes of the past, but also from the density of trauma, fear, and separation. Within this sacred container, we invite you to revive your calling, remember your essence, and return to joy, connection, and soul-aligned purpose.

 

Throughout the week we will journey through five powerful jungle medicine ceremonies, each intentionally curated to awaken, open, and integrate the full spectrum of your being:

 

  • Rapé – A sacred shamanic snuff that grounds, clears, and centers, opening the way for clarity and prayer.

  • Kambo – A powerful detoxifier whose peptides support physical, emotional, and energetic cleansing.

  • Bufo (5-MeO-DMT) – A deeply transformative medicine known for ego dissolution, divine connection, and soul remembrance.

  • Heart & Spirit Plants – Heart plants soften defenses and open pathways of love, while spirit plants expand awareness, intuition, and deep inner exploration.

  • ​Wachuma (San Pedro) – A heart-opening Andean medicine that deepens connection with Pachamama, expands perception, and grounds the soul in love and unity.

 

This sacred experience also includes trauma-informed integration practices to help bridge your spiritual insights into embodied transformation. These integration modalities are designed to ensure that your transformation is not only profound but lasting.

Threaded throughout our time together will be the devotional current of Bhakti, the yoga of the heart. Through chant, song, and sacred practices, we will awaken love as a frequency, deepening our capacity to belong not just to a community, but to the pulse of life itself.

 

Beyond the medicines, our integration practices will root transformation into your body and daily life. These include breathwork, EMDR somatic work with bilateral stimulation (tappers), other somatic release practices, shoreline earthing, and fire circles. We will also work with KAP (Kundalini Activation Process) to awaken dormant energy within the body, releasing blocks and amplifying life-force flow. EMDR helps the nervous system gently re-pattern stored trauma, while KAP and somatic release practices open the body as a vessel for energy, presence, and truth. In earthing rituals, we reconnect our bodies with the steady rhythm of the earth, remembering that Radical Belonging is not only with people, but with all of creation. In fire ceremony, we gather in the ancient way - offering prayers, releasing what no longer serves, and igniting the flames of collective healing. These elemental practices remind us of the great truth: May all beings everywhere be happy and free.

 

Each day will be held in safety, presence, and devotion, guiding you deeper into your own essence. As you walk this path of Fear to Freedom, you will learn to meet yourself with compassion, to trust the power of connection, and to live with the courage of authenticity.

 

You will not leave as the same person who arrived.

You will leave revived, reborn into the truth that you are never alone.

You belong 🤍

 

This retreat has been lovingly curated to awaken the deepest parts of your being through a blend of sacred jungle medicines, somatic tools, and heart-centered healing practices. It is a journey into the liminal, where spirit and psyche meet. You will be held, seen, and supported in every moment by a team of skilled guides and kindred spirits walking this path alongside you.

 

The space:

The retreat will be held in the secluded beach area of Playa Junquillal, Costa Rica. The retreat center is nestled in the heart of Tierra Pacifica, a gated eco-community near Playa Negra in Guanacaste. We will be steps away from the ocean and some of the region’s most stunning world-class surf breaks.

 

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the region and indulge in the ultimate experience, where modern luxury meets pristine nature. Here, you won’t find high-rises or crowds, only crystalline waters, turtle sanctuaries, secluded beaches, and the soothing pulse of the jungle.

 

Enjoy an array of top-tier amenities, including a two-story salt-treated and heated natural rock pool with waterfalls, crystal-lined swim-under caves, an ice bath, lush gardens, serene courtyards, and peaceful common areas. Our open-air Shala will hold space for integration sharing circles, meditation, breathwork, and ceremony. Beneath the stars, a sacred fire circle will ignite the energies of release, renewal, and remembrance.

 

This is a general outline to help you feel the rhythm of your journey. A more detailed itinerary will be shared upon arrival, crafted with intention and guided by spirit.
