Rainforest Medicine Gathering (10 Nights)

Experience Ancient Amazonian plant medicine ceremonies for personal, community and planetary renewal. Held in accordance with the millenary, time-tested, wellness tradition the “Multicolored People.”

Our location is the enchanting Ocean Forest Ecolodge Retreat (aka Guaria de Osa Ecolodge) located on Costa Rica’s treasured Osa Peninsula, a paradise well known for its vast diversity of animal and plant life. Tucked perfectly between a pristine beach and the thriving rainforest you will also find yoga, wellness modalities, therapeutic massage, comfortable accommodations and three delicious natural meals daily.

The experience he brings as an adept ethnobotanist, conservation pioneer and rainforest guide with decades of delving deep into the pulsating heart of Rainforest Medicine traditions bring these retreats to the whole next level!
