“This is my second review of New Life Ayahuasca. NLA is a wonderful and at times a magical place. Those of you who have never taken the medicine might roll your eyes at my use of the term ‘magical’. That’s OK, just try it and see. Matt and Jeanae have created a safe and caring environment in which one can grow. For those who hear the call of Ayahuasca, the medicine can bring about amazing personal transformations. I am not the same man who first went to New Life a year and a half ago. Then, I was a damaged man who was haunted by a a rough childhood. I was prone to depression and quick to take offense. While I was good at my job, I wasn’t well liked because of my quick temper. Now, after three retreats, I am a changed man. My baseline is ‘happy’ and I nearly always feel content, which is not something most people can say these days. I am much less into myself and I care more about others, especially my family. I am less combative, more creative, and have an easier time seeing other people’s points of view. I feel lucky to be me and I feel gratitude every day. As a result, people like me much more which, of course makes me happier. It is a virtuous cycle. On an objective level, my EQ score has improved dramatically. Of course, this is just my experience. I cannot know what Ayahuasca will do for you. For me, though, it has changed my life – dramatically – and for the better.”

“Matt and Janae were amazing hosts. Very warm and genuine without being over the top. Matt is an awesome guide who continues to master his craft. Setting and scenery were amazing. And I couldn't forget to mention Jake and Andy who were icing on the cake. I'm sure we'll be seeing each other again.”

Farmers Market

FRESH FRIDAY- Farmers Market Trip –

We want our ayahuasca meals to be fresh, healthy and delicious. On Fridays we make trips to the farmers market to buy locally grown organic fruits and vegetables. Much of what we serve in the way of fruits is grown right on-site at our facility and we continue to expand our options with new vegetable/spice gardens on our vast property. But until they are available for harvest, we consciously purchase from local growers in our community.

Today we took two of our guests to help us hand-select the best ingredients for our meals. Aside from fruits and veggies, the farmers market also features locals selling hand made crafts and is a beautiful opportunity for guests to explore the culture of Costa Rica.
