For discerning guests who want to multiply the magic of a retreat and achieve more durable, lasting results, we also offer empowerment coaching and therapy services.

Ultimately, we spend more time with our own thoughts and emotions than we do with plant medicine, so learning mental and emotional tools is a gift to yourself that lasts a lifetime.

Whether you work with one of our coaches or find another who specializes in plant medicine, we strongly encourage you to work with a coach to achieve better results..

Your future self will thank you later.

With our proven approach, you’ll benefit from more progress with fewer retreats.

Our week-long retreats provide the space for guests to benefit from multiple ceremonies, integrate their experiences, and detox from technology and the demands of the modern world.

Retreat guests are encouraged to find the right balance between time shared with the group and in the comforts of their own personal space.

The ayahuasca experience at Behold was far more than Ieven imagined. I was so supported and given numerous tools to take home for continuing and enhancing the ayahuasca message. The abundant generosity and caring was precious and very much from the heart.

Anne Chesterman

Psilocybin Retreat in Costa Rica

Everything was very well done from A to Z I felt that it was a gift I gave myself and allowed this amazing group to take over and guide me the entire group was there for everyone of us. Giving endlessly, supporting us, and taking care of us. I'm so grateful Costa Rica is heaven that's helped also looking forward to do this again thank you.

Psilocybin Retreat in Costa Rica

The retreat was perfectly organized; all events and activities flowed naturally, and progressively from one to the next, preparing us for the ceremony, and especially what would come after.

Francois Langlois

Retreat Participant
Psilocybin Retreat in Costa Rica

Amazing experience overall.Had complete confidence and trust in both facilitators. The accommodations were beautiful. Would have appreciated some options for walking paths but the facilitators did lead us on a few walks which were amazing. It would have been helpful to have maps for individual adventuring too.

Luke, Alexa, and Amina as well as the support staff made the entire experience magical. Everything clicked at the right time and in the right place. Everything was safe, clean, and comfortable.
