Dragonfly Awakenings Sacred Retreat Space

It’s been about three weeks since we got back from Costa Rica, and I haven’t journaled about my 🐉 awakening just yet, but this painting 🎨 of my experience started to emerge on the front cover of a designated journal for my experience at Dragonfly 🦋 I’m truly grateful for the strength, support and gentleness Denise and Teresa gave me in every interaction. It was such a surreal experience when I met them in person, I felt like I had known them from many lifetimes ago, the time they took to get to know me and my husband and answer our many many many questions ‍♀️ on video chat 💬 was something I had never seen done in “corporate America” Their thorough attunement and dedication to their practice felt so deeply spiritual and profound to me, and this only deepened further when I finally met them in person. Reya (The Kambo healer)also required a phone conversation and thorough communication prior to the experience which I apreciated, although Holly (The Bufo healer) didn’t require a call, but she did make me feel comfortable right away when I did meet her, plus because Teresa and Denise where involved in the Bufo ceremony it helped establish a trusting environment quickly. If I could give these ladies an 11 🌟 review I would love to! Every detail of the medical, psychological and spiritual domains of my life benefited from their grounding, saging, and the warmth of their warm loving embrace gave me a kind of relief I’ve never experienced before. The space they held for my husband (who gets a lil’ nervous with some of my plant 🌱 medicine/holistic healing ❤️‍🩹 psychedelics etc…) really gave me the peace of mind to be able to delve into my own experience fully knowing that we are both in gentle hands The journey getting to Dragonfly Awakening felt so surreal and raw and homey 🏡 (as someone who runs my own healing practice from my Home 🏡) it gave me a great sense of connection and respect that this wonderful space IS Denise and Teresa’s home, it’s not a facility they leave their home to come to… it is their home that’s why it FEELS homey and cozy and authentic! When we got there Denise literally had just gotten out of the shower, her hair was still wet (we got there early) and it was such a refreshing and relaxing feeling, because while we had journeyed far to there, she was in her home and home frequency and this allowed us to settle in so easily into her comfy couches, and then she put some papaya for the birds, and we got to see the most gorgeous variety of birds 🦢 that we didn’t see anywhere else in Costa Rica The energy balance between Denise and Teresa was deeply healing to be in even before any of the ceremonies began! And the flow that they curated ( first day was Kambo and then second day was Bufo) was very smooth and effective for growth! These beautiful angels truly know what they are doing! Reya chanted some beautiful songs for us during the Kambo ceremony and that made the whole experience so so special for me! Holly’s approach was more simple and straightforward yet her energy was so grounding and instantly trustworthy and I loved the prayer she had me read before the ceremony! I loved the way that Denise and Teresa gave each healer who they hosted in their space, SPACE yet support. The energy balance and synergy between all the women was so incredible and rare to find, and it gave me a healing space that I didn’t even know I was looking for my whole life! It was a dream come true and perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to be able to come to Costa Rica, and Dragonfly Awakening… I don’t know if I will ever be able to see this place or these women again, but I will never ever forget them! And I pray that our paths cross again

Dragonfly Awakening provided an experience that was deeply healing, grounding, and genuinely meaningful for my wife and I. Teresa and Denise were incredibly attentive and empathetic throughout our journey, bringing a calm, nurturing presence that made us feel truly cared for on every level. I’ll admit I went into the experience feeling nervous, but they created such a safe, supportive environment that I was able to relax, trust the process, and really open up to it. Their attunement to our emotional and physical needs was remarkable—nothing felt rushed, nothing felt forced, and every moment felt intentional and compassionate. The location itself added another powerful layer to the experience, surrounded by beauty, tranquility, and nature in a way that made the entire journey feel sacred and peaceful. We left feeling lighter, more connected, and deeply grateful. This was far more than a service—it was a genuinely healing experience, and we couldn’t be more thankful to Teresa and Denise for guiding us through it with so much care.

What a wonderful experience. Such a beautiful, tranquil setting, hosted by beautiful and tranquil people. I can't recommend Dragonfly Awakenings highly enough and look forward to going back some day. Thank you so much for your kindness and for connecting with your guests and with nature using understanding, respect and wisdom. ❤️

The most amazing ayahuasca ceremony I have ever taken part in—an absolute blessing and a true healing center, powered by love and the presence of truly amazing people. The depth of care, intention, and energy made the experience profoundly transformative, and I carry that healing with me still. I wholeheartedly look forward to returning in the future.

Denise and Teresa are incredibly committed, kind, knowledgeable holistic wellness guides. I spent three weeks with them in April and felt the impact the very first day I arrived. Dragonfly Awakenings is committed fully to the wellness of others. During my time there, I support the centre in gardening and weeding their incredible (and growing) gardens. Teresa and Denise both are amazing story tellers, intuitive hosts, and wise wise wise. I’m so grateful for the three weeks I was there, for the teachings and calm I received, and I look forward to returning soon. Many thanks to Dragonfly Awakenings and all that your work does ❤️
