Formerly New Life Ayahuasca

Overview

New Life Rising invites you to Tamarindo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica for a 5 day Ayahuasca retreat. We are dedicated to helping individuals find hope and restore balance in their lives with the use of plant medicine. We offer a compassionate approach to spiritual healing, allowing guests to experience Ayahuasca through wholesome practice. Our focus revolves around five key factors:

  • Safety
  • Inclusivity
  • Tradition
  • Intention
  • Professionalism

The retreat center was founded by Jeanae White and Matthew Mormello, a husband and wife team who have personally experienced the transformative power of ayahuasca and now look to share that experience with the world.

Matthew and I both came to plant medicine therapy for addiction. We had tried many different ‘traditional’ treatments in the United States but none provided us any relief from the ongoing depression, anxiety and hopelessness that fueled our addictions.

We met in 2014 in Costa Rica at an ibogaine treatment center. It was my first time using plant medicine, but Matthew had already done ibogaine in 2011 which was documented on HBO’s VICE tv. Unfortunately, he ended up relapsing shortly after that treatment and was back in Costa Rica to try again.

One thing that makes our retreat unique is that we are a husband and wife team of ayahusqueros and I think that helps a lot of female participants feel safe, given the prevalence of sexual abuse allegations within the psychedelic community.

We are Westerners, so for some people that adds value due to our ability to communicate without a translator and that we understand the struggles and demands of living in a Western Culture. We offer smaller groups with a maximum of 14 participants which allows us to be able to get to know everyone on an individual basis.

Our Processes

Intake and Screening Process

After the first point of contact, which is usually a booking request sent through the website, the first thing we do is complete a medical screening over the phone and talk to every potential participant about why they want to drink ayahuasca and get a feel for what their intentions are for the experience. After a medical clearance has been given, we provide booking information and tools to help prepare for the retreat as well as diet information.

Preparation Process

During the retreat, we offer yoga with meditations before the ceremony to help prepare the mind.

Ceremonies

The ceremonies themselves follow Peruvian traditions. Myself and Matthew are students of Don Ron Wheelock in Iquitos, Peru and have been working with ayahuasca for almost a decade. We both sing Icaros and play several different instruments to contribute to the vibrational energy of the ceremony.

Integration

We offer integration share circles after each ceremony.
