Welcome to Pathway to Peace, a sacred 7-day Ketamine - Assisted Retreat for women in the lush beauty of Costa Rica, designed to help you reconnect with yourself, heal past wounds, and foster deep emotional growth.
ABOUT THE RETREAT
✨ You’ve Been Carrying So Much.
Now it’s your turn to be held.
Maybe life recently shifted in a way you didn’t expect.
A relationship ended. A role changed. A chapter closed.
Or maybe you’ve just been holding it all together for too long—navigating motherhood, caregiving, career, or loss—and you’re quietly burning out.
You know you need something more than another self-help book or weekend away.
You need space. You need depth.
You need a reset that reaches all the way to your soul.
Pathway to Peace is a 7-day, women-only retreat in the heart of Costa Rica designed to help you rest, reconnect, and gently find your way forward—with the support of ketamine-assisted experiences, hot yoga, somatic tools, sacred prep and integration, and the company of like-hearted women who understand what it means to be in transition.
This isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about finally creating space to hear yourself again.
This is your invitation to heal, grow, and rediscover yourself in a way you never thought possible. 💛✨
No matter where you are on your journey, you are welcome here. ❤️

Why Ketamine?
Ketamine can open doors to emotional release, deep insight, and inner peace—especially when used intentionally in a safe, therapeutic setting. Many women describe it as the first time they felt truly connected to themselves in years.
As a psychedelic medicine, ketamine also supports neuroplasticity, your brain’s natural ability to create new pathways. This means you’re not just reflecting—you’re rewiring. Patterns that once felt fixed or overwhelming can begin to loosen, making space for new perspectives, self-compassion, and lasting change.
Whether you’re navigating grief, burnout, uncertainty, or simply longing for something more, ketamine-assisted experiences offer a powerful opportunity to reconnect with yourself in a way that feels grounded, supported, and deeply healing.
You’ll be held every step of the way by experienced therapists and a
carefully held group process.

Is this retreat right for me?
This retreat was created specifically for women navigating major life transitions—whether it's a change in role, relationship, health, or identity. If you're feeling emotionally exhausted, uncertain about what’s next, or simply ready to reconnect with yourself on a deeper level, this retreat offers a safe, supportive space for healing and clarity.
Is KAP safe?
Yes. Your safety—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—is our top priority. All participants will complete a medical screening in advance. During the retreat, you’ll be supported by professionals with extensive training in ketamine-assisted work. We follow clinically appropriate dosing and ensure a grounded environment throughout the experience.
What can I expect?
Ketamine-assisted experiences combine the therapeutic use of ketamine with skilled support. In this retreat, you’ll participate in two ketamine journeys within a small, confidential group of women, guided by experienced psychedelic therapists. The medicine helps quiet habitual thought patterns, enhance neuroplasticity, and access deep emotional insight—while our integration circles help you process and apply what arises with care and intention.
Will I be alone during the journeys?
Ketamine journeys are held in a small group container, where each woman is supported by facilitators throughout the entire journey. While the medicine experience is deeply personal, you’ll be held within a supportive circle and guided every step of the way—from preparation through integration.
What if I feel nervous or unsure?
That’s completely natural—and actually very common. You don’t need to feel “ready” in a perfect way to say yes to this experience. We move gently, and you’ll never be pressured to open more than feels right for you. This retreat is designed to meet you exactly where you are—with compassion, care, and choice every step of the way.
Is it safe and legal to travel with ketamine?
Yes — it is legal to travel with ketamine to Costa Rica for therapeutic purposes, as long as you follow the proper documentation and guidelines. We will walk you through the entire process step by step to ensure everything is handled safely and in compliance with travel regulations. You’ll receive personalized guidance and support well in advance of your trip so you can travel with confidence and ease.
