A Different Kind of Ceremony

We are a different experience —
Ayahuasca, on your own.

We offer something most retreats don't. An individual journey with Ayahuasca.

Discover the transformative potential of Amazonian plant medicine within the nurturing embrace of our secure and new compassion-driven sanctuary in San José de la Montaña. Our journey commences with the meticulous cultivation of medicinal plants amidst the lush landscapes of Costa Rica. We ensure the highest quality, freshness, and purity of the medicine, along with its ideal potency, for an optimal healing experience.

Medicina de Curandero.

Many traditional shamans recommend drinking Ayahuasca alone, believing it allows for a deeper, more focused healing process. Without a group, the ceremony becomes entirely personal — a private space to go further than you could in a shared setting.

Honored on Its Own Terms

Casa de la Luz is where Ayahuasca is honored on its own terms. We hold deep respect for its indigenous roots without claiming to speak for any single tradition or dogma — our understanding comes from direct experience, not inherited doctrine, and we approach this work as an art as much as a practice.

Ayahuasca is a sacred, sovereign plant, open to anyone genuinely called to it, and we're simply here to bridge that connection. Every experience we hold is fully private: No group, no distractions, no one else's process in the room — just you, the medicine, and someone fully present for your journey.
