Retreats & Scheduling

Welcome to Soltara

“Soltara” comes from the Spanish verb “soltar” which means to let go or release.

Our retreat spaces provide safe & supportive containers to dive deeply into your healing.

Under the guidance of indigenous Peruvian Shipibo healers, we combine plant medicine ceremony, supportive embodiment practices, and a unique integration program to empower each guest in their healing over the long term. Our decades of combined experience holding Ayahuasca ceremonies and doing medicine work allow you to experience in-depth healing in a safe and loving environment.

Supporting guests from intake to integration

At Soltara, we hold a high standard for every aspect of the healing process. We believe all those who feel called to work with the medicine at an ayahuasca retreat, regardless of where they choose to partake, should understand the current knowledge, traditions, and recommendations, both spiritual and medical, in preparing for such an experience.

Ultimately, the goal of your ayahuasca retreat preparation & integration (post-retreat) work is to help you potentiate your experience with the medicine. You’ve invested your time, energy, resources, and commitment to your healing, and we encourage you to see your efforts as an investment in yourself and in devotion to the plants & the Shipibo tradition that stewards this work. Our holistic before and after-care offerings are here to help you realize and connect to the answers and agency you already have within you.

Our before and aftercare support extends beyond your ayahuasca retreat, and includes:

• A thorough intake process, in collaboration with therapists and medical advisors, to ensure a retreat with us is safe and supportive
• Extensive & holistic preparation support guidebook, created by Soltara plant medicine therapist Sharon Slate
• An ayahuasca diet guidebook, to support you in preparing your body for your ayahuasca retreat
• Access to our community platform The Maloca, with extensive resources, regular virtual events, preparation and integration circles, your own retreat cohort group, a network of practitioners, educators, and organizations, and a community of like-minded individuals to connect and receive support, ask questions, and share wisdom
• Discounted sessions with a preparation support therapist
• Access to our Entwined program, a 12-module program with resources and support for the loved ones and family members of those stepping into plant medicine ceremony
• An integration journal, published by Soltara in collaboration with clinical psychologists. This book follows a psychological treatment framework adapted to the ayahuasca experience and includes beautiful art and self-guided tools to empower you in your journey
• 3 months of weekly emails that support the integration process
• An individual integration call with one of our therapists with extensive plant medicine experience
• Lifetime free monthly group integration calls with one of our plant medicine therapists
