Retreat Info
About the Retreat:Reunion is a not-for-profit sacred space in Costa Rica to experience the transformational power of Ayahuasca and Psilocybin ceremonies complemented by ancient and modern modalities to bring forth healing and sustained change through learning, self-discovery, and self-acceptance.
Embodiment + Sacred Medicine + Integration is Reunion’s approach to healing and transformation.
Embodiment: We experience the world through sensing our whole body. It is the most primal form of inner communication that directs all thought, feeling, and action. We explore somatic practices to discover our innate physical intelligence, learn from the wisdom of the body and feel connected to the whole. Ultimately, embodiment is a process of realizing each aspect of our self and sovereignty.
Sacred Medicine: Ancient and indigenous cultures have been working with plant medicines for time immemorial. Working with these medicines in a sacred and ceremonial context can assist our healing journey. The plants become great allies on our path towards transformation and wholeness.
Integration: At Reunion, we believe Integration is imperative. We believe most of the work happens after ceremony. We are here to provide you with the tools and support to navigate your post medicine journey.
-----
Reunion has been created as a not-for-profit organization. This allows us to focus on our Guest experience, create positive impact on the planet, and operate in harmony with the natural world without the focus on profit.
As one of the few not-for-profit plant medicine centers, all earnings and donations go directly into the organization and its operations. Any revenue above operating costs goes towards reciprocity. Great effort is put into sustaining our land, facilities, contributors (staff), community programs, and scholarships.

Awakening Leadership Series
This series was created to explore the intersection of leadership transformation and ayahuasca, or psilocybin, along with other plant medicines. The intention of this program is to empower leaders, entrepreneurs, and creators to live and work from their most aligned and awakened selves.
The Awakening Leadership series is comprised of three distinct programs that can be taken individually or consecutively to achieve what’s most meaningful to you. Collectively they represent a leader’s ‘hero journey,’ progressing from fear-driven grit and wounded state to heart-centered service and aligned creation.LGBTQIA2S+ Journeys - Cultivating Pride & Authenticity

The word I’ve found myself using to describe Reunion is immaculate. Everything about the experience is pristinely designed to allow you to go deep while feeling supported and safe.
Highlights:
– Expert medicine team and facilitators. I felt fully safe and supported while going deep into our transformational processes. That level of safety and support allowed me to go really deep into my process and excavate what’s been holding me back.
– Stunning location right on the beach. The sound of waves colored the entire experience.
– Warm, welcoming staff. There’s a real comfortable + communal vibe to the whole property, where you want to do your part to keep everything beautiful.
– Beautiful facilities: the temple is a work of art and buffered from mosquitoes with netting. You can hear the ocean during ceremonies. Multiple locations and benches to sit and journal with a view.
– Great food
– Gym on site
– Nonprofit organization! They offer scholarships to subsidize for those that can’t afford to attend retreats. Many retreat centers are profit-driven and try to upsell you on all kinds of things; an experience which is absolutely gross in my eyes. My parents were subject to this at another retreat center and it left a very bitter taste in their mouth. Reunion doesn’t partake in any of that nonsense.
This is truly the cream of the crop for retreat centers, I’ll be referring all friends and family here.
