Why Us?

Rooted in service, guided by ancestral wisdom, and devoted to your unique journey

Indigenous Peruvian Shipibo Master Healers

Guided by the Shipibo tradition, we work exclusively with Ayahuasca plant medicine and highly experienced Shipibo Master healers. Every guest receives personalized support and individual icaros (healing songs) during ceremony.

Government-approved & medically supported

We collaborate with therapists, medical advisors, trauma-informed facilitators, and local doctors to ensure a safe experience. We have an onsite clinic and medical permit through the Costa Rican Ministry of Health.

A full year of holistic & personalized support

More than a retreat, this is a full year of guided personal growth. As one of the first Ayahuasca retreats to emphasize integrative before- and aftercare, all retreats include 1:1 coaching with a dedicated facilitator, ongoing resources & soulful community.

Esteemed Advisory Board

Our advisory board, including Dr. Gabor Maté, Dr. Dennis McKenna, and Dr. Bia Labate of the Chacruna Institute, informs our programming, trauma-informed facilitation, and bridge-building work across psychology, science, and reciprocity.

Rest, restore, & reconnect

From nature trails, fire circles, and open-air shalas to onsite pools and nearby beaches, our retreat spaces are immersed in the breathtaking biodiversity of Costa Rica. Rest & restore in lovingly designed lodgings with your comfort and budget in mind.

Your journey pays it forward

Your journey directly supports Shipibo-led initiatives, Amazon conservation, scholarships, & local communities. Together, we build regenerative ecosystems that protect and honor the plants, cultures, and wisdom-keepers who make this work possible.

Your Glimpse into the Soltara Experience

OUR RETREAT SPACES

Where transformation takes root

Two sacred sanctuaries, two distinct expressions of Costa Rica's breathtaking natural beauty.

Playa Blanca sits on seaside cliffs above the Gulf of Nicoya — sun-drenched, ocean-kissed, and alive with the sounds of the tropical forest.

Scarlet Valley rises into the mountains of the Central Pacific, surrounded by protected rainforest, sweeping valley views, and some of the most biodiverse land in the country.

Each a world of its own, inviting you to slow down, be held, and reconnect to what truly matters.

Playa Blanca

Entire organization is very professional and supportive. I chose Soltara over others because they respect indigenous cultures and the ethical use of traditional medicine.
