About
Nova Vida, translating to "New Life," serves as a wellness sanctuary nestled in the tranquil Texas Hill Country, not far from Austin, Texas. This center provides a calming environment for those pursuing personal development, alleviation of stress, and recovery following experiences with plant medicine such as Iboga and Ayahuasca. Attendees can stay for as long as they find necessary, with a typical duration of 4 to 6 weeks.
Beyond assisting with plant medicine integration, Nova Vida features a comprehensive array of practices aimed at nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. Offerings include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for altering thought patterns, personalized coaching, acupuncture, herbal treatments, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, sound therapy, massage, and guided self-examination to facilitate profound healing and personal transformation. In addition, the retreat organizes various recreational activities, including pottery, Qi Gong, sweat lodge sessions, fire circles, and fitness programs to enhance the therapeutic journey.
Surrounded by crystal-clear, spring-fed waters and picturesque scenery, Nova Vida provides an idyllic backdrop for rejuvenation and restoration. Guests are supported by a dedicated team of mentors, guides, and holistic wellness practitioners throughout their journey. Local natural sites, such as Barton Springs and the San Marcos River, enrich the retreat experience, offering moments of relaxation and communion with nature.
