Reunion

What Reunion does

Reunion (legal name: Reunion Costa Rica Healing Center) is a not-for-profit beach-front wellness retreat operator headquartered at Sugar Beach (Playa Pan de Azúcar), Costa Rica, founded in 2019 with 11-50 employees. Its core offering is a week-long all-inclusive Ayahuasca ceremony program complemented by ancient and modern wellness modalities, paired with a 5-week post-retreat Integration Program. The organization reinvests a portion of revenue into a social-enterprise regenerative farming initiative called the Replenish Ayahuasca Project, an Indigenous Elders Fund supporting traditional knowledge holders in Central and South America, and a Scholarship Program providing $1,500 USD partial scholarships to expand access.

The business runs on a direct-to-consumer model, marketing primarily through reunionexperience.org and the newer reunionwellness.org brand, and converting guests via HubSpot-powered discovery calls. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per prospect during consultation. In 2025 the organization rebranded to Reunion Wellness Resort & Retreats, broadening its positioning from an Ayahuasca-only retreat to a destination for general wellness stays and a venue for independent retreat leaders. The technology stack is minimal — Squarespace-hosted websites and HubSpot scheduling — with no proprietary platform, AI, or data product disclosed. Customer concentration is diffuse (international individual guests), while operational concentration is high given dependence on a single physical property.
