Sacred Plant Journeys
Open yourself to the ancestral guidance of Master teacher plants traditionally applied for healing in the Amazon basin for many generations. Combined with sharing songs and prayer you are invited into deep reflection and cleansing to open yourself to your highest potential. Align your body, mind, and spirit and surrender to sense what life has in store for you and us.
Our retreats occur at Ojo Del Mar, a magical location at a secluded beach on the Osa Peninsula. We offer you 2 nights of ceremony over 3 days and various re-treatments* such as massages and acupuncture.

Preparation
In order to help ensure that you have a magnificent, positive, and healthy retreat experience, please take time to review the preparation guidelines carefully.
We recommend following the Dieta for at least two weeks prior to your first ceremony date - and definitely for 3 days before and after. The longer you can maintain a clean diet after the retreat, the deeper and longer the medicine will work with you. Read our preparation package for more information about The Dieta, and also to become aware of medications and substances that cause adverse reactions if combined with the Medicine.
​
In any case, try to arrive as intentionally, present, and clean as possible in the ceremony space. We recommend at least:
- Have your last (light vegetarian) meal without salt, sugar, or hot sauce at 12pm
- No Alcohol consumption 5 days prior to the ceremony
- No meat and heavy food 24 hrs prior to the ceremony
- Bring comfortable clothes, a flashlight and water
This type of Work goes beyond ceremony spaces, it's the Work of Life

Testimonials
A transformative healing experience - anonimous
The entire experience was perfectly planned and executed. People came to be healed and they came out receiving so much more. The Ecolodge could not be a more perfect venue for this retreat - the food, staff hospitality, and proximity to nature were unforgettable and integral parts of the experience. The ceremony leaders and helpers (angels) were nothing short of amazing. I felt completely safe and supported throughout the entire journey.
An Amazing Experience - Pete Phillipps
An incredible weekend and a life changing experience. Trish, Sassy and the rest of the team make this such a challenging but rewarding experience. Couldn't recommend this highly enough. It took me many days of travel to get there from the other side of the world however was worth every moment. If you are looking to move forward with your life this is a must do. The retreat itself is set in the most beautiful natural surrounding which just enhances the whole experience.

-
Can I sit just one night?We recommend that participants sit both nights, as this is a cumulative experience that is most effective if you are present for the whole retreat.
-
What style/lineage to the ceremonies follow?Due to the diverse experience and knowledge of facilitators, the Shanti Wasi ceremonies to not follow any one style/lineage specifically, but bring varied influences into the maloka. Songs (icaros) are sung mainly in Quechua, Spanish, Shipibo and English, but other languages and lineages can also make an entrance depending on the flow of the circle.
-
What do we do when not in ceremony?We will have an integration circle each morning after a ceremony, which gives everyone the opportunity to share and process their experiences. Apart from that there is no fixed schedule, allowing you be as active or restful as you need. The retreat center is right on the beach of Playa Sombrero, and is close to beautiful rainforest trails and a waterfall. You can spend your free time surfing, drawing, reading, hiking or sleeping - it’s completely up to you!
