UNPLUG. RELEASE. RESTORE.

ANCESTRAL HEALING: A JOURNEY OF TRANSFORMATION

JANUARY 22 - 27, 2026

An Immersive Retreat Experience: Connect with Nature, The Ocean, and Coastal Adventures.

This retreat is your reset—a sacred pause to shed what’s been weighing you down and come home to your truest self. Through nature immersion, ancestral ceremony, meditative practices, sound healing, and generous spaciousness, you’ll release old burdens and realign with the quiet, luminous center within. This is a return to wholeness—a week devoted to remembering the part of you that has always been free.

  • COMMUNITY

    We believe that true healing happens in community — when hearts come together with the intention to remember who we are beyond the stories and roles of life. In this sacred gathering, we awaken through reflection, presence, and shared love. Each person becomes a mirror, reminding us of our essence — pure, radiant, and whole.

  • STAY

    Staying in our Tree Houses invites a gentle reconnection with nature. Surrounded by the lush forest, hear the whisper of the wind, the birds’ songs, and the Earth's heartbeat—while enjoying the comfort and serenity of a peaceful, cozy space. It’s an experience that blends simplicity, beauty, and deep Nature connection.

  • ANCESTRAL HEALING

    The maloca is a sacred space where transformation unfolds. Here, we gather to remember our true nature and open ourselves to healing on every level of being. Through diverse modalities of healing — such as ancestral ceremonies, breathwork, yoga, meditation, the maloca becomes a temple of awakening.

  • SALT POOL AND SPA

    The saltwater helps release tension, soothe muscles, and rejuvenate the skin. Whether floating in silence, enjoying mindful moments, or integrating the experiences from the maloca, the salt pool and Spa offer a peaceful and healing complement to the retreat journey.

  • FROM FARM TO TABLE

    We honor food as medicine and nourishment as a sacred act. Fresh, locally grown ingredients heal and reconnect us, delivering more than nutrients—the energy of the soil, the devotion of the hands that plant and harvest, and plants grown in harmony with nature.

  • OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

    During your retreat, you’ll enjoy a guided visit to the beach, just 15 minutes from Ater Tumti and home to Sámara. There, you can connect with the healing energy of the sea, participate in active outdoor activities, or simply relax and breathe in the ocean air.

MEET OUR FACILITATORS AND HEALERS

SARAH AND BRAD

Ceremonies with Sarah and Brad are rooted in honoring the ancient wisdom, Indigenous lineage, and a devotion to truth. They hold space with reverence, integrity, and a quiet power that invites deep healing and surrender.

Sarah’s calling is to awaken the divine feminine in us all. A mother, anthropologist, and co-founder of La Matriztica, she has been shaped by a lifetime of listening to nature and living in harmony with the elements. Guided by teachers from Colombia’s Putumayo region and Brazil’s Santo Daime lineage, along with decades of community building in the Costa Rican jungle, her music and prayer summon the ancient ones and awaken the soul with wisdom.

Brad’s true calling is helping others remember their true essence. He has years of study, training, and experience with ancestral medicine. Brad speaks volumes through silence and presence. His way of communicating is soul to soul. The compassion, love, and belief in the medicine he carries create a loving space for profound healing.

TESTIMONIALS

  • Once we arrived at Ater Tumti I felt hope.

    Traveling to Costa Rica for the first time I did not know what to expect, I had only seen a few pictures of Samara Beach and the surrounding mountains. Once we arrived at Ater Tumti I felt hope. Yes, the property is surrounded by Lush jungles with views of Samara beach in the distance and singing with the sounds of Wildlife but the essence of this property is Hope, peace and healing. From the handmade maloka to the open dining hall, treehouse villas and stunning Infinity saltwater pool each space has been curated for more than its stunning views. It is a space of Hope sprinkled with magic, void of promises yet brimming with opportunity. The food will heighten your senses, the people will spark your curiosity and the animals will ground you with nature. We saw shooting stars, beautiful lightning storms, and felt the breeze of oncoming storms that tampered the heat and humidity. Ater Tumti brings you in balance with the land while creating a safe space for us mortals to leave the world behind and remember where we came from and where we hope to be.

  • I can count only a few experiences that I would categorize as life-changing.

    Perspective shaping moments that adjust how you perceive love and family. The moment I walked into Ater Tumti, I understood that I was someplace special and that it would have a profound effect on me as a person. Veronica and Angelica have created a beautiful space, designed to provide peace and light. The views are extraordinary and the treehouses are amazing. The food was fresh, locally-sourced, and delicious. The juice bar was a welcome spot while lying poolside. Ater Tumti is a very special place where heaven meets earth, where you get to reset, where you get to put life into perspective. It’s difficult for me to adequately convey how amazing Ater Tumti is. I do, however, believe that it will change you, and it will be for all the right reasons. Do everything you can to go, embrace the experience, and be ready to love just a little bit more.

    A place where the beauty of Costa Rica feels almost otherworldly. It truly brings heaven down to earth, surrounding you with peace, wonder, and a sense of connection that stays with you long after you leave. Every detail radiates care and love, creating an experience that is as transformative as it is unforgettable. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ater Tumti to anyone seeking not just a getaway, but a life-changing journey.

  • My experience at Ater Tumti Costa Rica was relaxing, peaceful, and healing.

    While spending time on the property I felt a deeper connection to my authentic self and nature. My stay there felt like heaven on earth, from the beautiful mountain views, to the tree house lodging, nourishing food, yoga, sound healing, friendships created, and more. I appreciate the love for myself and others that I felt there.

  • Ater Tumti is one of those rare places where just being here feels healing.

    Nestled in the breathtaking Guanacaste mountains, it carries such pure and magical energy that immediately touches your heart. Veronica and Angelica have poured soooo much love, energy and intention into this space, and you can truly feel it in every corner.

Our guests liberating themselves from old programs, opening their hearts, and embracing the beauty and deep healing that this land so generously offers.
