An elite 10-day jungle crucible in Costa Rica. Strip away the noise. Reforge your mind. Return reborn.
Only 6 spots per group. Limited departures in 2026. Not a retreat. A rite of passage.
You Hear It, Don’t You?
You’ve done what was expected.
Played by the rules. Chased the job, the lifestyle, the routine.
But deep down… something’s missing.
There’s a quiet war inside.
A part of you knows the world has softened your edge.
The fire has dimmed. The wild inside you is restless.
You weren’t made for desk chairs and dopamine loops.
You were made to endure, to bleed, to rise.
To remember what it means to feel alive.
This is your call to the wild. And it doesn’t whisper.
It roars.
Enter the Unknown.
This is not a tour. It’s a jungle crucible.
You’ll leave behind the noise. The comforts.
And step into the raw, wild heart of Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula.
10 days.
No filters. No distractions. No masks.
You’ll hike dense rainforest trails, build survival shelters, cross rivers,
train with rescue and survival specialists,
and sleep under stars wrapped in ancient jungle energy.
Every day pushes you.
Every moment teaches you.
Every challenge strips away the noise until only your essence remains.
You won’t just witness nature.
You’ll become part of it.
You will:
- Traverse one of the most biodiverse jungles on Earth
- Train with elite wilderness & survival mentors
- Practice deep mindset work and jungle silence
- Reconnect with the primal version of yourself
- Sleep in hammocks. Bathe in rivers. Trust your instincts.

No One Crosses the Jungle Alone.
You are held by those who’ve become part of it.
This journey will push you. Strip you.
Challenge your edges — and soften your armor.
But you will not walk it alone.
By your side walk the guardians of the jungle —
men and women who live its pulse, carry its stories, and embody its truth.
They are not instructors. Not entertainers. Not guides in name.
They are fire-keepers. Trackers. Experienced mentors.
Experts in survival, psychology, and traditional practices.
At the center is David Villanueva — renowned explorer, rescue specialist, and jungle guide.
He walks the knife’s edge between survival and spirit, holding sacred space with precision and presence.
By his side: a circle of Wise Natives, trackers, and soul-alchemists.
They’ve walked through storms — both in the forest and within themselves —
and return now to walk beside you.
Around the fire, they whisper forgotten stories.
In silence, they prepare you for the crossing.
With every challenge, every question, every doubt — they are there.
🛡 Your safety is sacred.
🌀 Your transformation is guided.
🔥 Your fear is welcomed. And burned.
David Villanueva - The Edgewalker!

Evaristo Cerdas - Tracker of Wild Truths
Born of the jungle, trained by its patterns. Reveals nature’s hidden signs — and the ones buried in your psyche. “I track what’s not said. In the trees. In your eyes.”
Mariano - Guardian of the Ancient Ways
Carries the ancestral pulse of the land, keeper of sacred bloodline and oral lineage. Transmits indigenous knowledge through story, silence, and ritual. “The jungle still remembers. I only remind you how to listen.”
The Silent Native Elder
He Who Prepares the Threshold In silence and smoke, prepares the fire and your soul for rebirth. He doesn’t speak much — but the forest listens when he does. “You will walk out different than you entered. That’s the point.”
Dasa - The Soul Alchemist
Guide of breath, movement, and subtle energy. Leads seekers through deep embodiment to awaken the primal self. “The body is not a barrier — it’s the portal.”
Alan Montes - He Who Trains with Silence
Raised in the rainforest, where survival wasn’t a skill — it was life. From boyhood, he hunted, tracked, and endured under jungle skies. Alan is a man of few words and razor-sharp instincts — precise, grounded, and unshaken. “You don’t need to talk to lead. You need to listen better than most.”

Where Comfort Dies, Transformation Begins.
This is not a retreat.
It is a controlled collapse — a sacred undoing.
You’ll be stripped of the roles, the masks, the noise.
Sweat will blur your sight. Ritual will open your breath.
And the jungle? She’ll show you exactly who you are.
You’ll hike through rivers at midnight.
Build fires in silence.
Feel the edge between fear and freedom.
And when the body says “I can’t,”
we guide you to the part of yourself that can.
In ceremony, you’ll grieve parts of you that never belonged.
In movement, you’ll burn the lies.
In stillness, you’ll hear your real name again.
This is the rite modern life forgot —
where you don’t just break…
you shed.
You remember.
You become.
🔥 Trial:
The jungle strips comfort.
💀 Release:
You burn what no longer serves.
🌕 Transformation:
You emerge unrecognizable.
You’ll Meet Yourself on the Other Side of the Fire.
There is a moment when the old self crumbles.
When your comfort collapses.
When your breath shakes, your legs give, and there’s nowhere left to run.
This is the ordeal.
The moment you meet the part of you you’ve avoided your entire life.
But beyond that moment — in the ash, in the silence —
comes something else.
Something ancient.
Something real.
It doesn’t come from a coach or a book.
It comes from the jungle. From the fire. From inside.
A revelation.
That you are more than your fears.
More than your story.
More than everything they told you to be.
This isn’t healing.
This is remembering.
“The jungle takes.
Then it gives back something truer.”

“On This Journey, You Will Experience:”
🔮 1. Ancient indigenous traditions
Step into the sacred firelight, where ancestral chants rise like smoke into the jungle canopy. Guided by indigenous wisdom, you’ll enter deep-night ceremonies designed to break illusions and burn through ego. With every breath and every beat of the drum, layers of old identity fall away.
This is not therapy.
This is soul surgery — raw, elemental, and liberating.
No luxury escape compares to the heart-splitting truth you’ll uncover here, when silence follows the final chant.
🌿 2. Jungle Survival
The jungle doesn’t care who you pretend to be.
It teaches through experience, not words.
You’ll build shelter from rainforest palms, light fire with friction, drink water from vines, and rappel down hidden waterfalls. Every survival challenge becomes a mirror — reflecting fear, resistance, strength, and instinct.
As you hike under ancient ceiba trees or cross rivers by moonlight, you’ll remember what modern life made you forget:
You are capable. You are resilient. You are alive.
🧘♀️ 3. Holistic Reflection
After the trial, the integration.
In moments of stillness — between sweat and fire — you’ll turn inward.
Jungle silence becomes your mirror. Breath, movement, and ritual dissolve mental noise.
The body speaks.
The heart recalibrates.
Guided embodiment practices and reflective circles allow emotions to surface, not be silenced. Here, you don’t escape life — you reclaim it, one breath at a time.
4. Guided Transformation
This isn’t a free-for-all.
It’s a mission — and it’s led with precision.
David and the mentor team don’t just support you — they guide you through thresholds most people avoid their entire lives.
When something surfaces — an old wound, a limiting pattern, a moment of inner war — you won’t face it alone.
They don’t coddle.
They don’t fix.
They hold space like command does in the field: calm, clear, unshakable.
At night, by firelight or beneath the brutal honesty of a star-filled sky, conversations get real.
No pretending. No posturing.
You speak what matters.
You’re heard.
And something inside begins to shift — not because someone saved you,
but because you finally faced it with the right team beside you.
These trials aren’t hardships — they’re rites of passage.
Yes, fear will surface. Yes, your mind will ask, “Can I handle this?”
But on the other side of each threshold lies freedom.
This is the jungle’s promise:
Strip away what’s false. Burn off the fog of burnout.
What remains is clarity — forged not in comfort, but in the fire of confrontation.
As you face the elements, you face yourself.
And in doing so, you release what no longer belongs.

Spots Are Rare. And That’s the Point.
This experience isn’t mass-produced. It’s not run every weekend, and it’s not for everyone.
We don’t take large groups.
We don’t open every month.
And we only accept those who are truly ready.
Each journey is limited to 6 participants max, guided by a hand-picked team of elite instructors and jungle mentors.
This isn’t about volume. It’s about depth.
Every person accepted is chosen with intention — because the work we do out there is real, raw, and requires commitment.
- Only 4 journeys per year
- Next openings: January, February, March & April 2026
- Once the team is full, that expedition closes.

“You’ve Felt the Pull. Now Face the Fire.”
There’s a part of you that’s been waiting for this.
Not for another retreat. Not for more information.
But for a test. A rite. A line in the sand.
You’ve made it this far because something in you knows:
You’re not here to live safe.
You’re here to live true.
The jungle won’t make you stronger.
It will reveal that you already are.
