*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 personalized medical preparation with our signature preliminary detox program. 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 offered at a peaceful, private center 20 minutes from Paquera in the southern area of the Nicoya peninsula, Costa Rica. Enjoy the lush tropical environment, fresh air, quietude, sunny days, gulf ocean views, and local pristine beaches. Wildlife abounds and enchants daily: scarlet macaws, monkeys, foxes, and a virtual symphony of birds. A beautiful pool overlooks a tranquil jungle forest. A nearby gentle walking trail leads to a stunning gulf ocean view.
​
Exquisite hospitality is our intention. Private guest suites feature air conditioning, queen sized beds, private bathrooms, and fresh, hotel quality fine linens. Bathrooms are stocked with locally made, organic, essential oil infused toiletries. Housekeepers attend to the space daily. Certified, seasoned massage therapists are present for optional bodywork & spa treatments. Guests enjoy a visit to a beautiful, spacious beach nearby during one of the integration days.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Deposits are generally non-refundable in order to make retreats possible. It can sometimes take months to properly prepare guests for an optimal experience, both medically and otherwise. 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 for a future retreat, but it can be transferred to another guest of your choice for the same dates who is prescreened & qualified by our staff. 

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 a minimum of 30 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.
