A beautiful place in nature where the Ruhani approach offers holistic healing practices. In The Ruhani Approach, emphasis is put on integration. Why? Because almost 80% of the actual healing is dependent upon what’s done with the insights from plant medicine work. In this approach, we combine modern psychology and science with ancient wisdom and sacred plant medicines to achieve long lasting healing.
“I came to Ruhani Wellness Centre in Costa Rica feeling emotionally exhausted and unsure if plant medicine could really help. The ayahuasca ceremonies were powerful, but what made the difference was the integration support afterward. I didn’t just have insights. I learned how to live them. Gratitude and peacefulness are just two of many feelings that I would like to share from my ceremonies at Ruhani wellness centre. Thank you and your family Faisal for creating the sacred place that is welcoming the souls from all over the world.”

Tamarindo, Costa Rica“I had been interested in doing plant medicines for 15 years but never found the right person to guide my journey, until I met Faisal from the Ruhani Wellness Centre in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. I gained the confidence to do various ceremonies with him because of his humility, kindness and genuine search of his own truth / path / healing. At the Ruhani Wellness Centre, I did work with Plant medicine from Amazon, cacao, and kambo. All ceremonies were different and magical. The Maloka where the ceremonies happen is incredibly beautiful and makes the whole experience even more wonderful. The changes that happened to me as a result of these ceremonies is profound and long lasting. Thank you Faisal for making this possible.”
Noam Kostucki
Business coach, TED speaker San Jose, Costa Rica“It was my first experience of medicine plants ceremony. Everything was welcoming and made me feel comfortable. Nothing was expected from me besides being part of a group with beautiful souls. The medicine plants and the relaxing atmosphere helped me find answers to past questions…. Thank you Faisal for sharing your knowledge. Thank you as well for making this experience affordable for everyone. Even your beautiful lodgings are so reasonable. I recommend for anyone looking for a unique spiritual and natural experience in a beautiful and peaceful setting to join Faisal in his ceremonies.”
Caroline
Los Angeles, USA“I had worked with ayahuasca before, but never with this level of structure and safety. The Arbol Method helped me prepare, feel supported during ceremony, and integrate the experience into my daily life. This felt like real healing, not just an experience. Mother Aya’s wisdom she shared with me has been the most profound and wonderful experience in my life. I did not expect this at all and feel so grateful and overwhelmed by the insights I saw and heard.”
Amalina
Playa Junquillal, Costa Rica“I have attended two ceremonies so far in the beautiful maloka on the top of the hill overlooking Costa Rican jungle. As the preparations were being made for the ceremony I had time to relax and meditate on my intentions and what I wanted to gain from the session. Although I had no idea what to expect I still could not have predicted the astounding energy and healing powers of the evening. It took a bit of talking with Faisal afterwards to understand my experience and what it meant. “The Holistic Sherpa” makes you feel very safe and comfortable and the plant medicine gives you exactly what you need at the time! I can’t recommend it enough!! Thank you! “
Alex
Chichester, UK“My experience at Ruhani Wellness Centre was profound and deep. Throughout the entire property, one can feel the energy of sacred intention and prayer. The Maloka was like none other that I have experienced. Setting high on the top of the Pinilla hills of Costa Rica, the Maloka had a powerful energy that one could feel on a cellular level. The accommodations were comfortable yet simple so as not to detract from the deep inner work that one will move through at Ruhani. The food offered onsite was delicious, pleasing to the eye, and supportive to the journey. Faisal has truly created a heart felt space by which one can safely move through the lessons of plant medicine!”
Donna
Alaska, USA“Wachuma at Ruhani was gentle, grounding, and deeply heart-opening. Being in nature in Costa Rica, with guidance and integration, helped me reconnect with myself in a way that finally felt safe and lasting.”
Mike A
Teacher Seattle, USA“What stood out at Ruhani Wellness Centre was how much care went into preparation and integration. I didn’t feel rushed or pushed. I felt respected. The support after the retreat helped me stabilize emotionally and make real changes in my relationships.”
Karla C
Army veteran NYC, USA“Trusting others was always an issue for me. I was afraid of feeling lost after ceremony. Instead, the integration process helped me understand what came up and how to move forward. This was the first plant medicine retreat where I felt truly supported from start to finish.”
