One of the most enriching experiences I have ever had. Matt and Janae truly are passionate about their work. I will never forget the people that I met and the ultimate journey that we all made.

New Life Aya is the perfect combination of comfort and an authentic ayahuasca experience. I had a comfortable room & bed, bathroom and AC while amongst nature and the beaches of Costa Rica! I was apart of a small group of 4 for this retreat and it was my first time doing Ayahuasca. Jeanne & Matt were so kind, knowledgeable, and just overall fun to be around. Jeanne and Lina’s food is soooo nourishing and delicious I enjoyed EVERY meal and could feel my body thanking me for eating so healthy. The ceremonies were amazing and felt like the true spirit of the Peruvian ways of sitting with aya were being honored. The songs (icoros) Matt and Jeanne sung were beautiful, the guitar and flute were parts of the ceremony that moved me so much, and the overall safety and care I felt by their facilitation was impeccable. They both are so knowledgeable and have so much experience and act from a place of integrity. I would highly recommend them as the best place to sit with Ayahuasca in all of Costa Rica. Ps. They just got a new spot it in the blue zone and it’s stunning! I’ll definitely be backkkk

I am settling in now after my first experience with Ayahuasca, and my first trip to Costa Rica, from where I returned yesterday evening. My husband and I chose to have an Ayahuasca retreat as our honeymoon; we were both curious about Ayahuasca and thinking that “there’s no better time than now!” I feel that we couldn’t have been more right. I heard specifically about New Life Ayahuasca from a co-worker who chose to go a few years ago, and the name of the retreat stuck with me. I am so glad that we chose New Life Ayahuasca, where we were able to be guided by Matthew and Jeanae. During my time at the retreat, I was able
To feel and experience such a strong sense of community. While we spent less than a week with the other participants of the retreat (we did a 5 day retreat) we were able to connect as if we had all known each other for YEARS.
Both Matthew and Jeanae have such beautiful spirits and this really shines through. There is so much grace in the ceremony space. I come away with the perspective that in the world we live in, we could all stand to be a bit more humble, and a bit more open with one another, but life and its circumstances don’t always afford us with the opportunity to be this way without the very justifiable fear of getting hurt. In the environment of the New Life retreat, Matthew and Jeanae create a safe space for openness and genuine connection. It’s amazing to think of how they started as students of Ayahuasca and have become masterful guides, and yet, they continue to learn and grow.
I am grateful for their wisdom and guidance and for what I was able to experience at New Life Ayahuasca. I recommend this retreat without reservation, for anyone who feels drawn to an experience with Ayahuasca plant medicine. It is an experience that I am sure my husband and I will value for years to come. -

Going through an experience like drinking Ayahuasca can be completely overwhelming, anxiety producing, beautiful, and everything in between. I can confidently say that there is no other place I would have, or will again, travel to for drinking this plant medicine. Jeanae and Matt have created a beautiful and safe environment for you to drink this medicine.
They keep the retreat to a small group of people (SO important), provide answers to any questions you may have before/during/after, and offer incredible support during this incredible journey of drinking Ayahuasca. They provide everything you need for this retreat, and nothing you don’t. I have never in my life felt such support and love around complete strangers, especially during what can be such a transformative week.
Matt and Jeanae have dedicated their lives to helping others and this was so clear, from my first call with Matt, to our final hug goodbye. I will be forever grateful that the spirit of Ayahuasca led these two amazing people into my life. My journey is not over, and I will continue to work with this medicine in the future. Thankfully, I know I have two incredible teachers, guides, and friends to do this with in Jeanae and Matt.
If you are ready to take this journey, look no further than New Life.
Thank you both so much. See you again soon.
Much love -

Let me first start by saying that I will never be able to fully articulate the quality of my experience at New Life. If you're even slightly thinking about doing this, let me tell you directly that you should book your spot and be ready for one of the most incredible experiences of your life. As far as I'm concerned, Matt and Jeanae are the Gold Standard when it comes to this particular kind of retreat. They were absolutely welcoming from the moment we arrived. For the entire retreat, they did an amazing job of creating an environment where everyone felt safe and comfortable. The people in my group were amazing as well, and I will forever feel connected to all of them. What made our group so special, is that everyone contributed, and everyone listened. You're only going to get out of it what you put into it yourself. You need to be willing to open yourself up in order to maximize the entire experience. Let me tell you that once you do, you'll be extremely glad that you did. Aho!

I had a wonderful experience with New Life Ayahuasca. The experience left me feeling rejuvenated, energized, and balanced. I learned a lot about my soul, my hurts, and my purpose. A main highlight for my experience living in the moment, learning to let love in, and forgiveness. During the final ceremony, I experienced a complete spiritual re-birth, I became a child again- rocking and crying. I feel like a whole new version of myself, one who was never hurt by my abuser. I've been given a second chance.
Ayahuasca is a sacred medicine, and it is so important to do the medicine with trained healers. Matt and Jenae are the perfect team. I cant thank them enough for the incredible ceremonies and support all through the retreat. The music they played was magical.
The retreat space was incredible. The facilities were clean and cozy. The food was so delicious and nutritious. The staff was kind. There was plenty of nature to connect with. The group was small and intimate, we all became quite close. The sharing circles were very transformative.
I can't recommend the experience enough! Especially if it is your first time. Enjoy :) -

Life-changing Retreat Experience at New Life Retreat in Costa Rica
Review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I recently had the privilege of attending a transformative retreat at New Life Retreat in the beautiful Costa Rica, and I can confidently say that it was a life-changing experience. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in a sense of peace and tranquility that I had never experienced before.
The setting of the retreat is simply breathtaking, surrounded by lush greenery and the calming sounds of nature. The accommodations were comfortable and clean, providing the perfect space for reflection and rejuvenation. The staff at New Life Retreat were incredibly welcoming and supportive, creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere that made me feel right at home.
The retreat program itself was expertly designed, offering a perfect balance of yoga, meditation and Ayahuasca ceremonies. I had the opportunity to engage in deep self-reflection, connect with like-minded individuals, and learn valuable tools for personal growth and self-discovery.
Under the guidance of Matt and Jeanae the retreat leaders, I was able to delve into my innermost thoughts and emotions, confronting challenges and embracing opportunities for growth.
Their wisdom, compassion, and expertise truly helped me navigate my personal journey towards healing and transformation.
I left New Life Retreat feeling renewed, inspired, and empowered to make positive changes in my life. This experience has been truly invaluable, and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of it.
If you are looking for a retreat that will nourish your mind, body, and soul, I wholeheartedly recommend New Life Retreat in Costa Rica.
It is a sanctuary of healing and growth, and I cannot wait to return for another life-changing experience. Thank you to everyone at New Life Retreat for creating such a magical and transformative environment. -

I am so glad I chose to attend the New Life Ayahuasca retreat, and am so grateful for Matt, Jeanae, and the team. The setting was quiet, serene, full of nature, and generally perfect. The environment felt safe and welcoming, and the ceremonies were beautiful. I am not a particularly spiritual person, but I felt a deep sense of connection and belonging during the ceremonies.
I had a truly transformative journey, and only wish I'd done it sooner. I can't recommend this retreat enough. -

If you're looking to experience Ayahuasca in a way that honors and respects the traditions associated with the use of this medicine in a small and supportive group setting this is the place for you. After experiencing it for myself, I wouldn't do it any other way.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Matt and Jeanae are two of the most amazing, authentic, and inspiring humans I have ever had the privilege of meeting. They are extremely knowledgeable about plant medicine and make everyone very comfortable by taking any/all of the participant’s concerns into consideration whilst simultaneously explaining every step of the process along the way. Additionally, the bonds forged with the fellow participants is unlike anything I have experienced before.
100/100 recommend!!! Book your trip now! -
