*These retreats are for psycho-spiritual journeys only. These are not for acute drug or medication detoxes, as detoxes have very different medical protocols. However, those struggling with substance abuse or medication dependency can still request a consultation to discuss customized medical preparation. We have discovered: The "cleaner" one comes to the iboga medicine, the more safe, effective, fruitful, integrated, and long-lasting the results will be. 

THE SANCTUARY


​
Retreats are currently offered at a stunning, peaceful, private center near Playa Naranjo / Gigante in the southern area of the Nicoya peninsula (Puntarenas province), Costa Rica. Enjoy the lush tropical environment, fresh air, quietude, sunny days, and pristine beaches.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Deposits are generally non-refundable in order to make this retreat possible. It can sometimes take months to properly prepare guests for an optimal experience, both medically and otherwise, so last minute changes are not sustainable. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

With at least 30 days or more advance written notice, 100% of the deposit can be transferred to a future retreat—or to another guest who is prescreened & qualified by our staff—to be utilized within 1 year.

With less than 30 days advance written notice: 0% of the deposit is transferable—unless we are able to fill the space with another guest who is screened & approved by our staff, which is not guaranteed.

EXCEPTIONS: In the event of any government imposed travel restrictions or documented current personal covid diagnosis, 100% is transferable to a future date within 1 year, at any time. In the event that medical tests reveal contraindicated medical conditions (very rare), 100% of the deposit will be refunded immediately if all required medical test results have been submitted at least 45 days in advance.

*Refunds or transfers are not available if contraindicated substances are consumed prior to the retreat, within the specified time frame noted by our medical directors. This will result in complete forfeiture of deposit. The medical team reserves the right to drug test prior to the retreat if they have questions. "Contraindicated substance" is defined by our medical team to avoid problematic interactions, and this could include but is not limited to illicit drugs, medications, herbs, alcohol, or other substances.

If any extenuating circumstances arise that cause the facilitators or venue to cancel the retreat, 100% refund will be granted immediately.
