Sacred Ayahuasca Wellness Retreat in Texas, US

New Life Rising is more than just a retreat; it is a journey into the depths of your being, guided by the wisdom of ayahuasca and the compassionate expertise of its founders. Matt and Jeanae have dedicated over a decade to studying and practicing plant medicine, completing numerous master-plant dietas in the Amazon and leading hundreds of ceremonies for thousands of participants. Their approach honors the Peruvian Mestizo tradition, blending ancient songs (icaros) and rituals with a modern understanding of trauma-informed care and energetic safety. The result is a retreat that feels both authentically traditional and deeply accessible.

The retreat takes place on a serene riverfront ranch, a sanctuary where the pace of life naturally slows and the noise of the outside world fades away. Here, among quiet fields, gentle breezes, and the vibrant presence of howler monkeys and iguanas, you will find the space to turn inward. The center is equipped with comfortable accommodations, a Maloka ceremonial space, and expansive grounds for reflection and nature walks. The peaceful environment is a vital component of the healing process, allowing you to rest, integrate, and connect with the natural world.

Central to the retreat’s philosophy is the commitment to safety and integration. With a small group size, two trained assistants at every ceremony, and a doctor on call for complex medical issues, participants are held in a secure and supported container. The program is designed with spaciousness in mind, including days of rest between ceremonies, daily yoga to ground the mind and body, and integration circles to process insights. Pre- and post-retreat support, including a free 4-week integration workbook and optional online resources, ensures that the changes you experience are carried into your daily life long after you leave.

The journey at New Life Rising is as much about preparation as it is about the ceremonies themselves. Participants are guided through the ayahuasca diet, encouraged to practice mindful eating, and supported with clear communication before arrival. The retreat’s flexible schedule allows for spontaneous moments of reflection, creative expression, and quiet solitude, ensuring that each person can honor their unique process. Whether you are seeking to heal from trauma, break free from old patterns, or deepen your spiritual practice, this retreat offers a powerful and compassionate space for transformation.
