Sacred Reclamation Retreat:
Healing Trauma, Restoring Wholeness Through Ayahuasca
Saturday June 7 – Friday June 13, 2025
Con Smania CR, Playa Buena Vista, Samara, Costa Rica
Reconnect with Yourself. Restore Your Wholeness.
Sacred Reclamation is a compassionate, trauma-informed journey designed specifically for those navigating the healing path from PTS and trauma.
Hosted at Con Smania Costa Rica – Transformational Retreat Center, our peaceful sanctuary at the intersection of ocean and jungle, this retreat is thoughtfully limited to a small group, ensuring an intimate and supportive healing environment.
Commit to your inner healing.
Be guided by an experienced, caring, and trauma-sensitive team.
Together, we gently cultivate resilience,
restore balance, and empower you to reclaim your life.
This retreat is ideal for you if:
You are seeking a compassionate, safe, and supportive space to address and heal past traumas.
You’re ready to gently explore transformative experiences through sacred plant medicine, guided by experienced, trauma-sensitive facilitators.
You desire meaningful connection with others who deeply understand your journey and honor your path.
You’re committed to reclaiming your emotional freedom, restoring inner peace, and stepping into a life renewed.
At Con Smania CR, our ayahuasca ceremonies are held in deep reverence to the Yagé tradition of the Putumayo region of Colombia. Guided by healers in the Ingano lineage of Taita Juanito, founder of Ambiwasi, these ceremonies honor the ancient wisdom, humility, and spiritual integrity that define this sacred plant medicine path. This is not a trend—it is a tradition, carried with generations of prayer, discipline, and healing intention.
Our ceremonial space is held with care, clarity, and consciousness. The medicine is brewed and served according to the traditional ways of this lineage, with dieta, icaros, and energetic protection woven into every step. For those who have journeyed before, you will feel the depth of this work. And for those newly called, you will be welcomed into a container of safety, purification, and transformation—where your healing is guided not only by the medicine but by the ancestral wisdom behind it.
With all retreats, we make a donation to Magic Fund, the work of Taita Juanito and team to conserve native land, culture and wisdom.

Breathwork: Repatterning from the inside out.
The breath is one of the most powerful portals we have to shift our state—especially when words fall short. In this retreat, breathwork becomes a tool not for pushing through, but for softening into what’s ready to be released. Guided by experienced facilitators, you’ll explore conscious breathing techniques that help regulate the nervous system, release stored trauma, and bring clarity and spaciousness to the body. Sessions are held with deep respect for your pace, your story, and your healing.
Meditation: Reclaiming peace from within.
In trauma’s aftermath, stillness can feel unfamiliar—or even unsafe. These guided meditations are designed to gently reintroduce you to the sanctuary of your own inner world. Through breath, focus, and gentle awareness, you’ll begin to rebuild a sense of safety in the body, calm an overactive nervous system, and develop compassionate presence. These practices are simple, grounding, and deeply restorative—no prior experience required, just a willingness to come home to yourself.
Movement: Coming back into your body.
Trauma can disconnect us from our bodies—leaving us numb, guarded, or chronically tense. Through gentle, intuitive movement practices, we support you in safely reclaiming physical presence. These sessions may include somatic experiencing, trauma-informed yoga, freeform expression, and grounding rituals. There’s no choreography here—just a return to the wisdom your body has been holding all along. Move as you are, in a space where everything you bring is welcome.
Sacred Plant Medicine: Healing in communion with the unseen.
At the heart of this retreat is the sacred medicine of yagé (ayahuasca), served in the lineage of Taita Juanito from the Putumayo region of Colombia. This isn’t a psychedelic experience for curiosity’s sake—it’s a ceremony rooted in reverence, guided by wisdom, and held in utmost integrity. For those walking through the long shadow of trauma, this work offers a powerful path to remember what was never truly lost: wholeness, clarity, connection.
You’ll be supported before, during, and after each ceremony by a skilled, compassionate team. Integration begins before you arrive and continues long after the medicine fades. This is not about forcing breakthroughs. It’s about honoring the soul’s pace, reclaiming forgotten parts of yourself, and allowing healing to unfold in sacred timing.
Sound Healing & Reiki
An intimate experience using quartz crystal sound healing bowls, you will be immersed in the frequencies of healing sound vibrations. Receive group and personal reiki to balance the body’s energetics during the sound experience.
Integration Circles
How we process these consciousness-expanding experiences and prepare to re-enter our everyday life is an important part of the ceremony experience. Guided by Jill’s Daily Questions reflective journaling and sharing circles, you will begin to come home to your own knowing.
What YOU Will Walk Away With…
For those who carry the weight of trauma, sacred ceremony offers something rare: a chance to be with all that’s been held—and begin to release what no longer needs to be carried. Whether through yagé, breathwork, meditation, or movement, these experiences invite us into altered states of consciousness that restore rather than escape. States where the soul speaks, where old patterns soften, and where deep healing becomes not just possible, but inevitable.
These aren’t moments of magic that vanish when you leave. They’re thresholds. And with skilled support, they become gateways to long-term change.
At Sacred Reclamation, you’ll be held before, during, and after ceremony with gentleness, wisdom, and care. The integrative tools you receive will be yours to return to again and again—as you rebuild your life, not from who you were, but from who you’re becoming.

The Venue…
Tantalize your senses and transform into your best self in one of Earth’s most restorative destinations… the beautiful and lush Costa Rica. The air is cleaner and fresher, the sun is brighter, the energy is more vibrant. It’s the ideal place to activate your greatest potential and honor your deepest purpose.
You’ll join us at a property that has been experiencing it’s own transformation over the past few years… from hotel to retreat center: Con Smania CR. The physical manifestation of the life’s work of our managing partner, Jill, in supporting others so they can share their mission with the world.
Each structure is unique and positively invites exploration through the winding paths and gorgeous landscaping. No cookie-cutter, plain box, “you’ve seen it everywhere” style – these spaces will encourage your creativity, challenge your ideas of comfort, maybe even trigger you in ways that you’ll come to realize are beneficial to your growth. We’re here for it all.
Bordered by our own landing strip – or pasture when our equine friends come to visit – and very few neighbors, this safe and sacred space is also just a 10 minute stroll to the Pacific Ocean.
Guanacaste trees shade the property and provide home to a variety of wildlife, including the howlers, parrots, iguanas and so much more.
From hidden meditation spots to the grand and magnificent main building we call Haven, there is so much to explore on the property, or just lounge at our unique and fun pool for the rest you deserve.
The Food and Meals…
Inspired by the ingredients that make this one of the world’s five Blue Zones, our Costa Rican chef-designed vegetarian-focused meals that burst with flavor and texture. Get a chance to taste your way through the possibilities on offer. We believe in honoring the land through connecting closer to source in all ways. Buffet style, we encourage you to take what you need knowing you can always return for more.
Breakfasts in our front restaurant and lunches or dinners may be served in the main building, our tiki bar and poolside lounge, or up at the restaurant. Let us surprise you!
Anytime you need more nourishment, blend yourself a smoothie from local fruits and greens and nutritious add-ins. Grab a snack – never know what we may conjure up.
At Sacred Reclamation, all participants will have their own casita or private space in a same-sex shared bathroom unit.
