We are thrilled to hear that you have decided to join Awaken Your Soul to co-create with the sacred medicine. You are about to embark on an incredibly powerful week and we are honored to receive you in this beautiful jungle. You most likely have already felt the medicine begin to work!
Check out the breathtaking space where you will be doing this expansive work.
Below you will find some IMPORTANT action items to complete before your arrival. PLEASE do not skip this step so as to make your arrival here as seamless and stress free as possible.
To support you in preparation for your retreat, we offer guests Prep videos. See the videos at the bottom of the page.
Send Anthony your Flight Info, Arrival Dates, Hotel Info, etc. See more information below as well as "What to Bring & How to Prepare" docs.
Complete your Guest Workbook, please complete this at least two days before your arrival.
If you plan to complete an EKG with your doctor ahead of time, please send me the results (this is typically for guests with pre-existing cardiac conditions; if your heart is healthy we recommend you have it done here for $160 with our doctors).
As the primary organ responsible for the metabolism of Iboga, we HIGHLY suggest this Liver Flush Protocol to support your experience 4-7 days before your retreat.
Reminder Rainy season in Costa Rica is from approximately May - November. Please bring a raincoat and suitable shoes if you are traveling during this time.
NOTE: If you plan to bring a laptop, iPad, or sizeable electronic device, please be aware that the moisture in the jungle can damage your device- (t has happened only a couple times during rainy season only, and never to us living there full time for many years). Wrapping your device in a towel or placing it in a 2 gallon ziplock bag will suffice to protect it.
If you arrive before the retreat starting date we recommend staying at either Courtyard by Marriott or Fairfield by Marriott.
Our AYS Guest Shuttle will pick you up along with the other guests at the Courtyard by Marriott (Alajuela), on the retreat start date. The Courtyard by Marriott is just 5 minutes away from SJO and can be accessed via the free Marriott shuttle or alternatively by taxi (for about $5).
Juan Santamaria International (SJO) - please land no later than 10am (CST) so that you are able to catch our AYS guest shuttle from the Courtyard by Marriott.
The customs agent will ask for your destination within Costa Rica. Take a SCREENSHOT of this info below as you may not have WIFI connection so be sure to save it to your phone. It will help you pass smoothly as it has relevant address information on it:
Holos Yoga Retreat
Perez Zeledon
San Jose Province
Once you are out of customs head outside to the sidewalk, make a right and walk until you see this white sign with the names of several hotels (it will be on your right). You can wait here for the free Marriott shuttle (or flag a taxi- about $5 USD) and catch it to the Courtyard by Marriott (Alajuela), it is a quick 5 minute drive.
The AYS Guest Shuttle will pick you up from Courtyard by Marriott at 11:30am (Costa Rica time) on your retreat start date with a sign that says 'Holos'; please wait for the driver outside at the pick up time.
On the final day, our shuttle will drive you back to SJO with a pickup time at 8am and you will arrive at the airport by 12pm. A two hour arrival time before and international flight for SJO is plenty of time.
We can also arrange a private taxi for you if you are traveling to another destination in Costa Rica after the retreat (the cost varies depending on the destination).
If you have not already, please install WhatsApp Messenger, which will assist in any direct communications and we will create a group thread for your retreat week.
