Meet the Family
Our beautiful family is composed of individuals who have devoted their lives to the path of spiritual healing and transformation. Each member brings a unique blend of skills and wisdom, drawn from years of study, practice, and deep personal experience with sacred traditions.
Sarah Saso
Sarah has spent her life immersed in the study of ancient traditions and spiritual practices. Her true calling is to invoke the Divine feminine within all, creating a space of trust, truth, and unconditional love. Through her profound connection to plant medicine and her ability to summon ancient wisdom through music and prayer, Sarah awakens the soul and guides individuals on their healing journey. Her deep commitment to the sacredness of life and her nurturing presence remind us all to honor and trust the sacred within ourselves.
Brad Recktenwall
Brad's true calling is to help others remember their true essence through the profound healing power of plant medicine. With years of dedicated study, training, and experience, he creates a loving and sacred space for transformation. Brad speaks volumes through his silent presence and soul-to-soul connection, offering compassionate guidance and deep wisdom. His unwavering belief in the medicine and his ability to hold space with love and compassion bring individuals home to their true selves.
José Gamboa
José Gamboa, La Matriztica’s musical director, is a second-generation musician from Costa Rica, has a musical journey unlike any other.
His upbringing, deeply rooted in the world of music and musical instruments, was a gift from his father.
Despite not having classical training, José's musical education has been profoundly influenced by his experiences with plant medicine.
This unique path has led him to support hundreds of ceremonies, where he has honed his exceptional skills and emerged as a musiquero, a musician dedicated to plant medicine ceremonies.
Stephane Trussart
Stephane began his journey with plant medicine in 2017, inspired by the profound transformations he has witnessed both within himself and in others. Guided by the wisdom of friends and teachers, Stephane holds a deep belief that we are the medicine, each of us equipped with the tools to heal and live abundant lives.
At the heart of Stephane's work is the belief that plant medicine reconnects us with the innocent perspective of life, where everything is pure magic if we choose to believe in it. He also emphasizes the importance of a great team and an environment where individuals can confidently step into the healing vibration that plant medicine offers.
Stephane's study of music is driven by connection. He sees music as a natural part of life, where everyone is a musician, and every note can heal when it comes from the heart. For Stephane, music is play, and play comes from embracing the emptiness within and allowing ourselves to be children once again.
Tahere
Hello! My name is Tahere, and I've come to understand that my body and life are my Living Altars. I guide others to recognize themselves as the source of their own medicine, to open their hearts, embrace their authenticity, and relate to the world from this place.
I am a guardian of rebirth, Breathwork facilitator, musician, dancer, Gestalt therapist, and a being of both animal and divine nature.
Born and raised between the ocean and countryside of Costa Rica, my deep connection with nature began early. At 13, I first heard of Ayahuasca, and years later, I encountered The Medicine.
As a former ballet dancer, I realized I was living from a place of unworthiness. I chose to change that, beginning with theater, Ayurveda, and Naturopathy. My first conscious breath with Ayahuasca revealed to me Life and Unconditional Love.
I studied breathwork with Sajeeva Hurtado and immersed myself in the study of Birth, Grief, Weaving, Placenta, Music, Ecosomatics, Crystals, Psychotherapy, and Water.
Through The Medicine, I've explored my melody. With Sarah and Brad, I found a safe, loving space to surrender and integrate my sovereignty. We have become family, and I am deeply grateful to work, learn, and celebrate life alongside them and all of you.
I cherish devotion, faith, and love, continuously expanding the boundaries of my heart. It is my honor to accompany you and witness you as you are, a Living Altar.
