We want every guest to feel personally supported and to have enough space to go deeply into their process. We also believe the community experience matters, and that can be lost if a group is too large. For these reasons, we keep groups relatively small and maintain a high healer-team-to-guest ratio.
Our maximum capacity at our Playa Blanca, Costa Rica location, our Scarlet Valley, Costa Rica location, is about 18–22 guests. For a group of this size, we work with two Shipibo healers, three facilitators, an assistant facilitator, a Retreat Director, and a yoga teacher.
During every ceremony, each guest receives a personal healing icaro (healing song), based on their intention for healing, what the healers feel is needed, and their consultation with our healers during the retreat.
