Beyond Your Light

Psilocybin & Breathwork Retreats in Costa Rica

Not just a break from life. A return to what matters.

There comes a time when the usual tools stop working. When the ache gets louder than the advice.

When something inside says,

I can’t keep doing it like this.

That’s where these retreats begin.

Held in the wild beauty of Costa Rica, either in the jungle-covered coastline of the South or the quiet strength of Arenal’s mountain-lake region - Beyond Your Light is a private, sacred container for deep healing. Through psilocybin ceremony, breathwork, and soul-level integration, you’ll be guided gently back to what’s real: your truth, your voice, your next becoming.

Not fixed. Not perfected. Just fully met.

Real Healing, Held With Love

These aren’t cookie-cutter retreats. They're hand-crafted, co-facilitated with care by Taryn and Jacqui Ruiz of Embracing Your Light. Every detail — from the energy of the space to the meals we cook — is designed to wrap you in love and safety.

We don’t believe healing happens through pressure or performance. We believe it happens through being truly seen.

This is for you if you’re:

  • Holding deep grief, depression, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion

  • Feeling disconnected from your purpose, your people, or yourself

  • Craving real guidance — not more self-help noise

  • Ready to meet what’s been holding you back, and move through it with support

The Process

Starting at $3,900 USD

We don’t accept everyone — and we don’t expect you to say yes without knowing it’s right.

That’s why all retreats begin with a

no-pressure discovery call, where we get to know you, your story, and whether this kind of work is a fit for your needs and readiness


Investment:

Sliding scale, starting at $3,900 USD

We’ll talk openly about pricing, availability, and fit during the call.
