We are experiencing a period of profound transformation,
offering a unique opportunity to revitalize our lives, gain greater clarity, and discover a deeper sense of purpose.
Immerse yourself in the healing power of plant medicine, guided by indigenous medicine keepers who share their traditional music and wisdom. This comprehensive program is designed to support and guide you throughout this transformative journey, helping you to unlock new dimensions of understanding and personal growth.
Jaguar & Lily together make an incredible, light-filled & joyful healing pair. Each holds and shares such divine masculine & feminine energies that radiate profoundly into all of us. I felt so safe with and held by both of them in my plant medicine journeys. They are true catalysts for healing & words can’t describe the magic they bring to these experiences!

ITINERARY
Before the retreat
Prior to our time together in Costa Rica, we will gather online over Zoom to get to know each other better, set individual and collective intentions, and go over all of the details in preparation for ceremony, and hold each other through the full 14 day Dieta.
Before the ceremony in Costa Rica
Tues Oct 1 - Fri Oct 4
We will spend the first 3 nights at Casa Luna, up in the hills above Samara. During this time, we will work through a mindful program to prepare for ceremony. We will use healthy nutrition, nature, yoga, breathwork, cold plunging and meditation to slow down our nervous system. We will also hold preparatory medicine ceremonies with Rapé, Sananga and Kambo.
Ceremony in Yawanawa Tradition
Fri Oct 4 - Sat Oct 5
We will share 2 evening master plant (ayahuasca) ceremonies at Om Jungle Medicine within the tradition of the Yawanawa. Healing with joy, expect ceremonies full of healing, prayer, and traditional sacred songs. There will be integration circles, pool and rest time between ceremonies as well as your own cozy pod to sleep. Haux, haux!
After Ceremony
Sun Oct 6 - Tues Oct 8
After ceremony, we will dive deep into the messages we received in ceremony and continue to nourish our body & soul to stay in alignment with the post-ceremony vibration. Massage, sacred cacao, sound healing, yoga and personal development tools are offered to nurture your integration. We will also hold a closing ceremony to seal our sacred container.
After the retreat
Following the retreat, we will gather online over Zoom for 2 integration calls. Integration is a crucial part of the ceremonial experience (with or without plant medicine), as it makes space for us to apply what we have learned into our day-to-day life.
MEET YOUR GUIDES
LAURA WAITE
Intuitive | Lightworker | Angelic Channeler | Yoga Teacher
Laura, ie “Lily," is here as a guide and guardian on your path of healing. For nearly 20 years, Laura has been a facilitator of the Light through her roles as an intuitive, bodyworker, light energy worker and yoga teacher. Creating a bridge between the physical world and the subtle realms, she is a guide on earth and in the spiritual planes. Her path in plant medicine began in 2022, and it truly was a coming home. She came to medicine to reclaim herself after terminating a traumatic long-term relationship to an alcoholic. Laura has worked with many medicines and facilitators in sacred ceremony cultivating a deep connection to Source and her path to empowerment. Her “home” tribe is the Yawanawa, whose village she visited in 2023 and 2024 in Brazil for their celebratory Vivencia! Laura trusts in the healing power of all forms of medicine to ignite a remembrance of your true authentic self. Her role is to light a pathway of protection and wisdom to ensure that your journey home is anchored in love and luminous light.
JACOB MAU III
Medicine Guide | Plant Educator | Mentor | Integration Coach
Jacob, ie “ Jaguar,” comes to you from a space of pure light and love. He was guided back to inner source connection and wisdom from his mother’s example of radical change and acceptance through her medicine path. His medicine journey started in 2022 when he moved to Costa Rica to overcome alcoholism and substance abuse. Jacob studied natural medicine through his dieta in 2023 with the Shipibo in Peru as well with Brazilian indigenous tribes who came to Costa Rica. In Peru, he studied the master plants Chiric Sanango and Bobinsana and was named Soi Pino, which means “Great Healer.” In 2024, he visited the village of his "home" tribe, the Yawanawa, in Brazil for the celebratory Vivencia! He traveled through the deepest and darkest avenues of his trauma to heal. The result was an unveiling of beauty, light and love that he carries today with upright purpose and integrity. His calling and promise is to provide an uncompromised, personalized space for those who are called to radical change. Jacob is honored to be your guide.
Lily and Jaguar met in ceremony with their beloved tribe, the Yawanawa, in August of 2022. They came into union at the start of 2024 and were called into action to be of service to those seeking deep, transformational healing. This retreat creates a bridge between you and facilitators that serve medicine with love and integrity. Holding a torch of light, Lily and Jaguar will be your guides as you reconnect to your inner strength, sovereignty and to source within.
“Laura has such a wonderful, caring spirit which you feel the entire time you are with her. Her light, energy and words allowed me to see where I am in my life and will help guide me as I move forward.”
- Mary
“Jacob is one of a kind. He has been guiding me for years now. When I have Jacob and his spiritual forces accompanying me, I know I can do the deepest work I can, in the safest, most joy-FULL container possible.”

Mashtahâe (Costa Rabelo)
Medicine Man | Yawanawá Tradition | Kundalini Yoga Teacher
Yawanawá– People of the Wild Boar
Mashtahãe (Costa Rabelo) is a medicine man that carries the altar of the Yawanawas and the Sacred fire of Itzachilatlan tradition. Initiated in the knowledge of healing, prayers and traditional sacred songs, he completed many studies in the forest. Among them, is the Muka Diet (the main and most important Diet from the Yawanawa tradition) under the Great Pajé Yawarani.
Mashtahãe is a great connoisseur of the ancestral histories of the Yawanawas, conducting beautiful storytelling sessions with deep meaning and analogies. He also completed his 4 years of vision quest and 4 years of sun dance. He is the bearer of the sacred Chanupa, and has the blessing to conduct temazcals and half-moon ceremonies. Along with his wife Nicole Passos, they are the guardians of the Yawaho Village, they travel spreading healing and awakening to many people.
All ceremonies contemplate the use of Ayahuasca and Rapé, and will be guided by voice and guitar with traditional Yawanawa songs. They will also contemplate the Mariri dance (a traditional Yawanawa circular dance) and a few traditional games can be played during or between ceremonies. All people will be fully supported 100% of the time. Mashtahãe has knowledge and authority within the spirituality to conduct the work in the best possible way and intervene through deeper prayers and even individual assistance whenever necessary.
A Kambo session will also be offered to all participants and the treatment will be available for those who feel the need. Kambo is a powerful medicine used for healing and cleansing. We will also be working with the medicine of Sananga, a beautiful eyedrop that treats eye diseases, opens our eyes to the spiritual world, and works on emotions.
