About Bradley:
Bradley Wells is the Founder and Steward as well as a Workshop Facilitator at Reunion Costa Rica on Sugar Beach, a not-for-profit beach-front healing center. This unique center offers Ayahuasca and Psilocybin ceremonies, supplemented by both ancient and modern modalities designed to ignite the best in one's life. Reunion stands as a testament to the transformational power of plant medicine, fostering healing, learning, self-discovery, and self-acceptance for those who visit.
The inception of Reunion traces back to Wells' personal journey. Over his career, he established multiple successful companies, driven more by a determination to prove his worth than by sheer brilliance. This relentless pursuit of achievement, however, came at great personal sacrifice. A pivotal moment came somewhat unexpectedly when he had the opportunity to experience Ayahuasca, leading to a profound transformation in his outlook on life, business, and his own self-perception. This encounter with plant medicine set him on an incredible, challenging, yet ultimately rewarding path.
Wells learned that living authentically sometimes necessitates making difficult decisions for the sake of healing one's soul. His experiences enabled him to embrace his identity as a gay man—a truth he had long acknowledged but deeply suppressed. Opting to live more authentically, he came out, which led to significant changes in his life. He sold his company, ended his 25-year marriage amicably, and founded Reunion. Through establishing this retreat center, he has been able to apply the insights gained from his business career in a manner that eschews profit as the primary focus, instead finding great purpose and meaning.
Reunion's mission is to provide those seeking personal growth, self-acceptance, and healing with the opportunities and experiences necessary to foster positive change within themselves and, by extension, in the world. Wells has created a welcoming space at Reunion for everyone who wishes to ignite a new chapter in their life.
