  • Beyond blessed and thankful that I answered the call to sit with mama Aya. I felt so at ease from the moment I said yes knowing the retreat was with you gals at the Playful Soul. I knew I would be in good hands with you and the shamans and that was certainly the case! I came for healing, release, and trusting myself and I left with so much more including a beautiful sisterhood and community that I didn’t even know my soul was searching for. Thank you!

  • I am grateful beyond measure for the Playful Soul team’s thoughtfulness, care and commitment to nurturing my body, heart and soul throughout this transformative experience - in preparation, in ceremony and in integration. I felt called to the medicine but could not have anticipated how much the community and support would matter - thank you to everyone who contributed each of your social talents to make it a most amazing experience all around.

Why Women Choose The Playful Soul Retreat

An ayahuasca retreat is about far more than the ceremonies themselves. It's about feeling safe enough to surrender, supported enough to grow, and held enough to integrate what unfolds.

At The Playful Soul, we've intentionally created a Women's Ayahuasca Retreat in Costa Rica that nurtures every part of the journey. Healing begins long before you arrive through thoughtful preparation and personal connection. During the retreat, you'll be surrounded by experienced guides, compassionate facilitators, and a circle of women walking alongside you. And when you return home, your journey continues with meaningful integration and an ongoing community of support.

We intentionally keep our retreats intimate because we believe every woman deserves to be seen, heard, and cared for. From the first conversation to the final integration call, every detail is designed with intention so you can focus on what matters most—your healing, your transformation, and your connection with yourself.

Again and again, our guests tell us that while they came seeking the medicine, they left equally grateful for the sisterhood they discovered, the care they received, and the sense of belonging they didn't even realize they had been searching for.
