Open Circle Heart & Spirit Ceremony
Saturday, January 17th, 2026
8:30 am - 8:30 pm
Hosted at the Sanctuary of Sound & Medicine
Nosara, Costa Rica

Heart
The HEART medicines are derived from flowers and trees that originate from the Middle East, Africa South and North America and opens the connection to our heart center and gives us more access to love and compassion for ourselves and others, thus offering the potential for deep inner healing and transformation.

Spirit
The SPIRIT or psychedelic plants are found all over the world and can help to facilitate connection within the spirit realm and to transverse into deeper levels of consciousness. You will have the opportunity to choose a spirit plant that is best for you. You will have an opportunity to work with Psilocybin Mushrooms, Acacia and Syrian Rue. We will work with you to find the spirit plant(s) that work for you.

Sound
The medicine of SOUND by Energy Body Wellness weaves into the experience through sacred instruments, vocal activations and curated music to support the depth of your journey.
Ceremony
The Experience
Our ceremonies are held in Nosara at the Sanctuary of Sound and Medicine, guided by Ron Nikel as the primary facilitator, with the support of Paul Jarreau and members of our Medicine Facilitator Family (depending on group size). This Open Circle Ceremony is open to both men and women and may be facilitated by both men and women.
​
Each participant is invited to take an inward journey, resting comfortably with eyes covered, and surrendering to the wisdom of the medicine as it moves through the mind, body, spirit, and heart.
​
The experience is gently guided with sacred music, moments of deep silence and a sound journey experience with various instruments, led by Paul Jarreau of Energy Body Wellness. These vibrations help participants navigate their inner landscapes and deepen the healing process.
​
The ceremony begins promptly at 8:30 am. We will close with a nourishing communal dinner, followed by a group integration circle to ground the experience and carry insights forward with clarity.
