The Invitation

Some people go on retreat for curiosity. This one is for those who carry something they can no longer carry alone.

Return to Self is a 5-day small-group psilocybin retreat held in the lush mountains of Nuevo Arenal, Costa Rica. The group stays small by design — never more than 8 people — so every participant receives the depth of care and presence their inner work deserves.

This is not a workshop or seminar. It is a genuine healing container: two psilocybin ceremonies, integration guidance, preparation support, and five days surrounded by nature, held by Jacqui Ruiz and her experienced team.

You will leave different. Not because we promise transformation as a product — but because the combination of the medicine, the setting, and the facilitation creates the conditions where real change becomes possible.

"The retreat doesn't change you. It removes the weight that was keeping you from who you already are."
— Jacqui Ruiz, Retreat Facilitator
Who This Is For

You might be ready ifyou recognize yourself here.

The Seeker
You've done therapy, read the books, tried the practices — and still feel like something deeper hasn't shifted.
The Burned Out
You've been performing life so long you've lost touch with who you actually are underneath it all.
The Griever
Loss — of a person, a relationship, a version of yourself — that hasn't been fully honored or moved through.
The Overachiever
High-functioning on the outside. Quietly struggling on the inside. Ready to stop managing and start healing.
The Sensitive Soul
You feel things deeply. You want a space that can actually hold the full spectrum of that depth.
The Ready One
You don't have the perfect reason — you just know it's time. That knowing is enough.
What You'll Experience

Five days.A lifetime of distance traveled.

01
Preparation & Intention Setting
Before anything begins, we slow down. Meaningful ceremony starts before the medicine — in the clarity of your intention and the honesty of your readiness.
02
First Psilocybin Ceremony
A full-day guided ceremony held in a carefully prepared container. Jacqui and her team are present throughout — steady, skilled, and deeply attuned.
03
Integration Day
Rest, reflection, gentle movement, and facilitated group sharing. The space to make meaning of what arose — which is where the real healing lives.
04
Second Psilocybin Ceremony
A second ceremony deepens and anchors what the first one opened. Often the most profound session of the retreat.
05
Closing & Re-entry
A final circle, closing ritual, and clear guidance for the weeks ahead — so what happened here doesn't evaporate when real life resumes.
