It’s time to look at healing in a different light.
With a belief in the need to encompass the emotional, energetic, and spiritual aspects of healing, our mission is to empower each guest to bridge the gap between mind, body, and spirit and become more fully embodied, integrated, and connected versions of themselves.
We believe in expanding the definition of what healing looks like.
Working with the Amazonian plant medicine Ayahuasca under the guidance of Indigenous Peruvian Shipibo healers, we collaborate with clinical psychologists who have extensive plant medicine experience to support a uniquely integrative approach to healing.

Join Our Community
“Soltara” comes from the Spanish verb “soltar” which means to let go or release.
At our seaside sanctuary or immersive riverside retreats in Costa Rica, we’ve created an integrative framework to support your healing. Guided by the deeply-rooted wisdom of the Shipibo tradition, we hold safe and loving space for you to dig deep, uncover the energetic roots of blockages, self-limiting beliefs, and negative programs, and help you fully release them to step into your power.
Plant medicines such as Ayahuasca, and other holistic therapies, ask us to connect to all parts of ourselves, and if there are painful parts, to confront them directly: they are speaking to us and want to teach us something. By shining the light of consciousness into the shadowed corners of our psyche, we are able to acknowledge, learn from, and release the suffering attached to them.
Our highly skilled Shipibo healers and facilitators will help guide you through this process of self-discovery through plant medicine healing, supportive holistic modalities, and modern psychotherapeutic practices.
Our Call To Service
Ayahuasca Retreats
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 ceremony and doing medicine work allow you to experience in-depth healing in a safe and loving environment. Immersed in the tropical forests of Costa Rica, we offer retreats of varying lengths, allowing you to find what works for you in order to step fully into your authentic self.
Integration Program
Integration means taking the knowledge and lessons learned during your ceremony experience and putting it into practice in your life. At Soltara, there is a strong focus on the integrative work that starts during your retreat and continues, possibly, for the rest of your life.
As part of your journey with us, you’ll receive a full year of preparation, integration, and community support. We work with skilled integration specialists who have a foot in both Western and traditional medicine and can help you prepare for, maintain, and enhance the outcomes of the retreat experience. By doing the necessary healing work during your stay and understanding the tools and practices that can help maintain that work, you can open to the truth of who you are, what you want, and most importantly, how to get there.
Nectara is a ceremonial-integration-themed community platform, whose resources encompass a range of plant medicines, psychedelic medicines, and support. They have been partnering with select retreat centers for years, helping journeyers prepare thoughtfully, connect with one another, and translate their insights into lasting change after the ceremony is over.
Nectara and Soltara share the goal of elevating standards of care in psychedelic and plant medicine spaces. This elevation can only be fully realized by taking ourselves out of our respective silos—by embracing the ethos of community and collaboration, of learning from and teaching one another instead of trying to hold it all on our own.
With The Soltara Community Platform, we intend to do just that. Take off your shoes, take a deep breath, and step inside! We’re thrilled to welcome you in.
Pursuing a transformative experience, like an ayahuasca retreat, is a deeply personal decision—but its effects ripple outward to our loved ones and communities. How do we talk about this, prepare for the time away, and set our relationships up for success upon our return?
Soltara’s Entwined: Community Alignment program aims to support individuals and communities in navigating these experiences from start to finish. Created with the gifted teacher Alis Collective Soul, Entwined consists of twelve modules of high-quality written and video educational content: information, tools, reflection and conversation prompts, activity ideas, and more, informed by a wide range of modalities. All Soltara guests receive free access to this program with their retreat package!
