Rythmia

Rythmia Life Advancement Center is an all inclusive luxury plant medicine retreat and medically licensed ayahuasca center in Costa Rica. It is presented as a short stay licensed medical center specializing in plant based alternative therapies and described as the world’s only medically licensed plant medicine center offering weekly retreats. The core focus is personal growth, healing, and transformation through the Rythmia Way program, where guests are invited to experience a “life changing miracle”. The program blends ayahuasca plant medicine ceremonies with metaphysical teachings to help guests understand who they have become and support emotional, physical, and spiritual healing.

Service

Rythmia offers 7 night all inclusive retreats that combine ayahuasca ceremonies with modern wellness and educational components. A typical week includes up to four ayahuasca ceremonies, luxury casita accommodations, farm to table organic meals, yoga classes, breathwork sessions, a healing massage, hydrocolonic cleanses, and integrative classes such as “The Answer is You” and “About Your Miracle”. Guests also have access to webinars, live information sessions, and lifetime access to the RLife integration app, which extends support and practices after the retreat. The retreat takes place in a gated community near several of Costa Rica’s top beaches, with a saltwater pool, spa style amenities, and a structured daily itinerary designed to maximize the benefit of the plant medicine work.

Safety

Rythmia operates as a medically licensed plant medicine center with an on site medical center and defined safety protocols. An on site medical team is available 24/7, including a Chief Medical Officer, staff physicians, and nurses who conduct pre medical screenings and provide medical support throughout the stay. A paramedic is always present during ceremonies. Mental health screening and medical evaluation are emphasized as part of ayahuasca risk management, including assessment for conditions that may make plant medicine unsuitable. Ceremonies are facilitated by an experienced plant medicine team with a stated minimum ratio of one healer to every four guests, led by senior ceremonial leaders responsible for upholding safety protocols and honoring Indigenous practices. The overall setting, staffing, and screening processes are designed to make the retreat a controlled and supervised place to drink ayahuasca.

Care pathway

The typical guest journey begins with exploring information on the retreat, webinars, or live information sessions and then booking a 7 night stay. Before and on arrival, guests complete medical evaluations with staff physicians and undergo mental health and medical screening to confirm suitability for ayahuasca. During the week, guests follow the Rythmia Way program: preparation and education in classes, participation in ayahuasca ceremonies (for those medically cleared and who choose to take part), and daily support activities such as yoga, breathwork, and integration sessions. After the retreat, support continues through the RLife app and integration program, which offers structured practices and guidance to help guests apply what they experienced and maintain changes in everyday life.
