This retreat is open to absolutely everyone – whether you’ve experienced working with entheogens before, or whether this new territory, our team are here to provide you with the most comfortable, safe and supported container to hold you through this journey of recovery or perhaps simply of just rewiring. Many of the attendees of past retreats have been seeking burn out recovery support, help in finding new life direction, emotional support, support with unleashing new creativity or writer’s block, developing or deepening their spiritual practices, a break from the hum drum of every day life, a chance to connect with like minded people and to fully immerse in nature. The program is also for those seeking life hacks, those wanting to improve their conscious awareness and in turn improve their capacity to meditate, listen and respond and in turn improve their connections with others in their lives.
Book before September 21st and reserve your desired room plus a free 1-1 complimentary session with one of our practitioners.

Zach Stockdale is a former US Army Ranger from the 1st Ranger Battalion. He earned the title of Distinguished Honor Graduate of his US Army Ranger School class in 2004, and is a three-time Iraq war veteran who has participated in hundreds of clandestine combat missions—working alongside Navy Seals, Delta Force Operators, and CIA field officers. He first discovered the words of the Buddha on his third deployment to Ramadi, Iraq. “Though a man may conquer 1,000 men in 1,000 battles, still, greater is he who conquers himself.” Seeking a way to “conquer himself,” he began sitting 10-Vipassana courses in 2014. He has now spent more days in silent meditation than he has in war. Zach has sat in meditation with many of the living masters of our age: venerable monks of the Thai Forest tradition, the Burmese Theravada tradition, the Sri Lankan Theravada tradition, the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Chinese Buddhist nuns, and the senior lay teachers of the Vipassana meditation lineage. In August of 2020, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening when he broke his neck under water. Using meditation, he watched as his intense physical suffering dissolved into a deep spiritual peace. He currently lives on the beach in Costa Rica, where he is sewing a massive, tree of life spiritual tapestry whose message is, “Have peace in thy heart.”
