My friend and I came to Casa de la Luz for our first experience with Ayahuasca.

I was anxious about encountering the Medicine, but when I arrived, I found this to be a very special place. Andres, Rocio, & Fernanda made me feel like part of the family from day one. There is so much Love in their hearts, and they took such good care of us. Rocio cooks amazing food and gives equally amazing hugs!! Andres is experienced with the Medicine, and he conducted the ceremonies with care.

I felt through each ceremony that I was being taken care of and guided, even at the times when I felt discomfort from the Medicine. Actually, I felt like I was being taken care of and guided the entire time I was there. Casa de la Luz is located in a place full of natural beauty, which enhanced the experience for me. In between ceremonies, we did activities like nature hikes which helped us to integrate everything in real-time.

The accommodations are simple and not a 5-star hotel, yet I was given everything I needed and more. This was a wonderful experience that gave me a peace I had never known.

I recommend Case de la Luz wholeheartedly for someone who wants to experience Plant Medicine.

Ayahuasca is a complete experience that heals your body, mind and soul, rebalancing your chakras and putting you in touch with the divine in a manner that is life changing, and I dare say life enhancing. Anyone who has had such an experience will know that the plant speaks to you in the language to end all languages, and that therefore there are no true words that will ever allow me to portray my experience accurately.

What an amazing experience! Fortunately, I had the opportunity to meet this place and be part of some Ayahuasca ceremonies. Andy is a lovely guy! He is respectful, attentive, friendly and above all, he is very dedicated to what he does, that’s why is very pleasant and interesting to work with him. The work developed there is beautiful, I highly recommend it to all workawayers who feel called to help people on someway.

This is such a stunning place. Amazing property for a retreat! Beautiful trees and nature and space and serenity. My partner and I stayed for 2 nights to participate in a healing retreat. It was an incredible experience and one I will always hold dear in my heart. Andres and his mother are extememly kind people. They provided us with excellent hospitality and fed us the most delicious food every day! We were in awe of how well they looked after us and treated us like family. I highly recommend Casa de la Luz. Andres and his mother are authentic and heart-centred people who really care to help others and make a difference in this world. And it is the perfect place to relax and eat mangos.

Casa de la luz holistic is truly a retreat based on the kind of ideals we want to see more in the world. It provides a beautiful landscape to give you all the basic needs to explore the inner workings of our perception of reality. Through the sacred ancient art of shamanism in space purification and facilitation.

Andres is a wonderful knowledgable regular guy with a humble and grounded presence.

His giggly upbeat mother Rosyo was so welcoming and I felt like I was part of the family from the moment I arrived! Andres gave me a tour on the fruit orchard where we harvested oranges and lemons to juice with. Rocio cooked beautiful Traditional costa rican meals for us including vegan diet prior to the medicine.

The night of the medicine Andres stepped into where he shines best. He was incredible at holding space and ensuring you along your journey, knowing exactly how much to give you and being there to talk about your processes. His presence is very reassuring.

I had the greatest experience as my first workaway host and found Andres’ retreat to be a fabulous introduction to the plant on the beautiful tranquil and healing land. Was tough leaving this little piece of paradise! Looking forward to see it growing into it’s full potential 💖

Highly recommend anyone considering their first plant medicine journey and make sure you ask about the outdoor shower ;) mucho gusto!
