For people who want plant medicine to change them for good. Not for a week
The person you always knew you could be.
This time it stays.
We've guided hundreds of people to that version of themselves, and built the 63 days that keep them there.
You built the life that was supposed to work. The income. The role. The reputation. From the outside, you figured it out.
Somewhere in the last few years, the signal got cut.
You already did the work. A ceremony. A retreat. A week in the jungle that cracked something open. You came home different. Three weeks later you were back in the same patterns, same distance, same tightness in your chest at 3am.
You were right about one thing. It didn't stick.
Therapy helped you understand the pattern. Coaching made you more efficient at carrying it. Weekend retreats gave you a few days of clarity that faded by the time you opened your laptop. None of it reached the layer underneath, because understanding a pattern and resolving it are two different things.
It was never going to hold. Nobody built the part that holds it.
The plants showed you the door. Walking through it, and staying on the other side, is a different kind of work. Ruhani is built for that part.
Four weeks of preparation before you arrive. Seven days of guided deep work in Costa Rica. Four weeks of structured integration so the shift lands in your real life and stays there.
80% of lasting change happens after the immersion. That is the phase the rest of the industry skips. It is the only phase we refuse to cut short.
Two Experiences. One Sanctuary.
The Elite Immersion | Private
A confidential, 9-week experience for one individual.
For the leader who has tried therapy, coaching, and weekend retreats and still feels the weight. The entire centre is yours. One guide. Nine weeks. No group dynamics, no shared space, no one else's story in the room but yours.
The Reset Retreat | Small Group
A 9-week guided journey in an intimate group of 8.
For people who know something deeper needs to shift and want to do that work inside a structured, safe container with others on the same path. Four weeks preparation. Seven days in Costa Rica. Four weeks integration. The shift gets held in place.
"The changes that happened to me as a result are profound and long lasting. I had been interested in doing this kind of deep work for 15 years but never found the right person to guide my journey, until I met Faisal."
— Mercedes K, Business Coach, Belgium"Before Ruhani, my body was stuck in a permanent fight-or-flight loop. I had tried every modality, but the peace never lasted. The 9-week structure changed that. The integration phase gave me the bridge I was always missing."
— Elena S, Creative Director, Canada“"I was at the bottom of the barrel. This was my hail mary. I had come to terms with never being happy again, and that realization was eating me alive. I was ready to be done trying. Today I'm grounded, laughing, and doing work I love."
— Jason W, Veteran, USAA Private Sanctuary in the Heart of Costa Rica
Ruhani Wellness Centre sits in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica, 90 minutes from Liberia International Airport. Surrounded by jungle, silence, and raw nature, it was built for one purpose: to provide a safe, structured container for people ready to do the deepest work of their lives.
This is not a luxury spa. Not a spiritual theme park. Not a weekend retreat dressed up in jungle aesthetics.
Ruhani is a structured container for people who already tried the other paths and need one that actually reaches the layer underneath. The psychological preparation is as rigorous as the ceremony work. The integration gets as much attention as the opening. The entire 9 weeks is built so the shift has somewhere to land.
Meet Your Guide: Faisal Khattak
Founder. Holistic Sherpa. Creator of The Arbol Method.
A Holistic Sherpa is our term for a guide trained in both ancient healing traditions and modern psychological processing. Faisal built the role. He still walks every client through the full 9-week process personally.
Faisal didn't find this work in a book. He found it through necessity.
Like most people who end up at Ruhani, he once lived a life defined by noise. The relentless pace of building something. A nervous system stuck in survival mode. The growing gap between what his life looked like from the outside and what it felt like from the inside.
His search took him across three continents, through teachers, traditions, extreme practices, and years of deep ceremony work. The insights were real. The patterns kept coming back. What he understood in the end was that the ceremony was only the opening. Everything after it decided whether anything held.
That understanding became The Arbol Method. A structured, psychology-based process that wraps the immersion in four weeks of preparation and four weeks of integration, so the shift has somewhere to land and stay.
He has guided hundreds of people through this work over 15 years. He lives and works at the centre full-time in Guanacaste. In the Elite Immersion, he is the only person in the room with you for the entire nine weeks.
His clients don't describe him as a healer. They describe him as the first person who made them feel safe enough to stop performing.
"I am not here to give you a spiritual high. I am here to help you find a resolution. To walk you through the opening and, more importantly, to guide you through the landing."

Traditional maloka and private ceremony spaces built for safe, sequenced inner work.

17 prepared meals throughout the week. Clean, nourishing, and aligned with the dieta protocol.
Why Every Other Retreat Didn't Hold
Most centers give you 7 days of intensity and send you home with a good luck email. The ceremony happens. Something opens. Then you fly back to your actual life, your actual triggers, your actual relationships, with no structured support for what comes next.
That is not an accident. The industry is built around the ceremony. The ceremony is the product. Integration is an afterthought at best, a paid upsell at worst.
Here is what the research shows. Roughly 80% of lasting change comes from what happens in the weeks after. The ceremony is the opening. The decisions you make in the 28 days that follow decide whether anything holds.
That is the gap Ruhani was built to close.
Four weeks before you set foot on the property, you and Faisal start the work. By the time you land in Costa Rica, your guide already knows your story. The work starts with precision from hour one.
Seven days at Ruhani, where the immersion happens inside a container built to hold it.
Four weeks of structured integration after you leave. Not a check-in email. Not a WhatsApp group. Weekly sessions that translate what opened into how you actually live.
7 days is the opening. 63 days is the part that stays.

You Already Know Something Needs To Change.
The knowing does not go away. It gets quieter to live with, louder to ignore. You learn to work around it. The cost of working around it does not show up all at once. It shows up in the 3am waking, the decisions you no longer trust, the distance you tell yourself is just the season you're in.
One conversation is how you find out what the work would actually look like for you.
Not Ready to Choose Yet. That's Exactly When to Talk.
The clarity call is where we figure out which path fits your situation, your readiness, and your timing. You ask anything you need to ask. We tell you the truth, including if this isn't the right fit right now.
One conversation. No pitch. Confidential.
