Canopy Adventures
Canopy Adventure is a longstanding family-run business located on a 450-acre private estate where the proprietors operate a western cedar plantation and sawmill. This breathtaking canopy tour – one of the most beautiful in the country – is situated in a cloud forest at the foot of the Barva Volcano in the heart of the Braulio Carrillo National Park Forest.
-
Waterfall Gardens
One of Costa Rica’s most popular destinations, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, near the Poas Volcano, offers five stunning waterfalls and 3.5 kilometers of walking trails that wind past the country’s largest Animal Sanctuary and Butterfly Observatory, through gardens swarming with vivid hummingbirds, to the cloud forest, ending in sweeping views of the waterfalls.
One of the most beautiful aspects of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is its ability to tap into the brain’s natural capacity for healing—through something called neuroplasticity. 🧠 Ketamine helps create new pathways in the brain, allowing you to shift old patterns, let go of what no longer serves you, and open up to fresh perspectives.
What new possibilities might open up for you when you allow yourself the space to truly heal? ✨
This is where the magic of the retreat lies. 🌱 As your brain becomes more flexible, the emotional healing you’ve been longing for can finally take root. With the support of the group and your therapists, you’ll have the space to reflect on these shifts and begin to embrace new ways of thinking and being.
