Hola beloved community, it is with hearts full of joy, myself, Suri Sawyer, and another medicine woman from Costa Rica are thrilled to announce our Costa Rica retreats for 2026! Nestled in the enchanting Chiripo Mountains, alongside the eternal waterfalls, we invite you to join us in this sacred journey.
Together, we will embark on a journey of profound healing and transformation. Our retreats offer Ayahuasca Grandmother plant medicine ceremonies, a sacred Kambo frog medicine session, and the healing energies of medical qigong. We will also immerse ourselves in cacao conscious movement, breathwork, sound baths, and the sacred offerings of tobacco hapé, and sananga. Each day will be infused with guided council, breathwork, song circles, and the sacredness of a waterfall site and floral prayer water baths.
Nourishment will flow through wholesome foods, juices, cacao, and comfortable accommodations.

About Colleen
Song Weaver • Sound Alchemist • Spiritual Guide
Colleen Ariel is the heart and spirit behind enCHANTed Healing Center since 2011, a sacred sanctuary for transformation through sound, plant medicine, and deep soul work. With over 25 years of experience in energy medicine, shiatsu therapy, shamanic healing, and Amazonian plant traditions, she serves as a guide and mentor to those walking the path of inner healing and remembrance.
Her own healing journey began after surviving two life-altering car accidents, one when she was 16 yrs old, the other when she 29 yrs old that left her unconscious for 3 days, with a traumatic brain injury and deep physical and emotional wounds.
These experiences became the fertile ground for a profound rebirth, a life's practice for self healing since her teens, and studying with masters across the globe, one rooted in the wisdom of the plants, the power of sound, and the guidance of Spirit.
Through resilience, devotion, and two decades of ceremonial work, Colleen has walked the medicine path with humility and deep respect for the elders and maestros who have guided her. She now shares this sacred work with others those seeking to awaken, heal, and come home to themselves.
