About Nova Vida
Nova Vida, which translates to “New Life,” is a wellness retreat in the quiet Texas Hill Country close to Austin, Texas. The center provides a calm space for people focused on personal development, stress reduction, and meaningful grounding after plant medicine journeys such as Iboga and Ayahuasca. Guests can remain for as long as they feel is right, and many opt for a retreat lasting about four to six weeks. Beyond plant medicine integration, Nova Vida blends approaches that address mind, body, and spirit. Support may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support healthier thinking patterns, along with coaching, acupuncture, herbalism, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, sound healing, massage therapy, and structured self-reflection practices designed to encourage profound recovery and lasting change. The retreat also features a variety of restorative activities, including pottery, Qi Gong, sweat lodges, fire circles, and fitness-focused movement to complement the therapeutic work. Set among clear spring-fed waters and beautiful natural surroundings, Nova Vida creates an environment that invites rest and renewal. A caring team of mentors, guides, and holistic practitioners accompanies guests throughout their process. Access to nearby outdoor highlights, such as Barton Springs and the San Marcos River, adds to the experience by offering more chances for relaxation and connection with nature.
