Soltara

Truly magic. There is no other place that I could have had my first experience with medicine. Everything about Soltara is perfect. The facilitation team is highly skilled, compassionate, and intellectual. The land and space make you feel safe and ready to dive deep in discovery of yourself. I cannot imagine going back anywhere else and I will return to Soltara as soon as I can. It has profoundly changed the way I view myself, plants, and the world. I am forever grateful for Soltara and it will be a part of my life for as long as I’m lucky enough to experience it. Thank you to the team

I just completed two retreats at Soltara in the past three weeks, and I’m so incredibly grateful for the experience. From start to finish, Soltara creates an environment of safety, care, and inclusiveness. Every detail is thoughtfully considered so you feel completely supported. Most of all, the facilitation team is extraordinary. They are some of the most genuine, caring, and beautiful humans I’ve ever been around. They show up with deep heart, humility, and presence, while being incredibly prepared and capable guides. You feel seen, heard and supported every step of the way. Also, The food is exceptional. Truly world class. Jesse, the chef, is incredible, and the meals provided adds so much to the overall experience. This was a 10/10 experience for me in every sense. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to sit with this team at this location. Soltara is truly something special and would highly recommend.

I had an incredible experience at Soltara Healing Center in Costa Rica! The accommodations were impeccable, offering a serene and comfortable space that made it easy to fully relax and unwind. The food was absolutely amazing, with a wide variety of high-quality options to suit every taste. I felt completely safe throughout my stay—from the retreat space itself to interactions with wildlife—which was especially important to me as a mom. The facilitators and shamans were truly exceptional—Sasha, Matthew, Erin, Vivi, Tati- and the 2 shamans guided the retreat with profound compassion, authenticity, and care. I couldn’t have imagined a more supportive and nurturing team. Transportation to and from the retreat was seamless and safe, allowing me to focus fully on the experience. Most importantly, I met lifelong friends among the other attendees, which made the retreat even more meaningful. Soltara is a safe, transformative, and heart-opening experience—I can’t recommend it enough. I can't WAIT to go back again one day!

This journey has been the most profound and beautiful experience of my life. Soltara’s container felt safe, caring, loving, and deeply held. Everything is structured with clear intention so that you can fully focus on your own process, and I truly appreciated that. The entire space is spotless and the energy feels vibrant from the moment you arrive. The food was incredible, fresh, and genuinely nourishing, and it supported the experience in such a thoughtful way. Kudos to Jesse, Massiel, and the entire kitchen staff. The facilitators and staff show up with so much presence, compassion, and care. Thank you again Viviana, Giulia, Christina, Sasha, and Tatiana for making me feel supported, understood, and genuinely held, Love your energy! The maestros were incredible. Maestro Francisco and Maestra Maricela, Irake! 🙏🏻 The Shipibo tradition is something truly unique, and there is nothing else like it. I connected to the maestros and the Icaros (healing songs) in ways I cannot explain, and I highly recommend the spiritual, personalized, and deeply energetic experience that comes through this lineage. I am extremely grateful to Soltara, their entire staff, our group, for this incredible experience. It has changed me, and I know it will continue to change me in meaningful ways. I know I will be back soon, and I would 100% recommend Soltara to anyone seeking true transformation in the most beautifully held environment. 💚💚💚💚

It’s been 4 months since I’ve been at Soltara Playa Blanca and I feel like I’m on a completely improved trajectory physically, spiritually, emotionally and mentally. The facilitators are some of the most caring, patient, and open people you will ever meet and go out of their way to help you make sense of it all. The maestros are also so masterful at what they do. I wouldn’t do it any other way. Sacred space. Beautiful grounds. Transformational experience.

It’s taken me awhile to write this because I don’t have words strong enough for this experience and Soltara’s facilitation of the process. The experience was literally everything I could’ve imagined and all that I didn’t. And Soltara doesn’t miss a single thing. The facilities are clean and welcoming. The food is a love ceremony, all in itself. The care that goes into preparation and integration afterwards makes a huge difference in how you feel coming in and coming out. They have everything figured out. I can’t imagine ever going anywhere else after this experience with Soltara. Christina, Tatiana, Viviana, Sasha, Jesse- everyone was MAGICAL. This work is medicine, I did 10 years worth of work and healing and progress in 10 days at Soltara. I’m different, and that’s what I went for, and the team at Soltara made sure that happened for me in a safe, loving, healthy space. The Maestro and Maestra, Francisco and Marisela, were exactly what I needed for this journey. I’m in heaven and this team of angels facilitated every single moment of it.

This retreat has exceeded all of my expectations: I have not only found my truth but also feel blessed to have met so many wonderful people - bonded for life. And the work that the Shipibo Maestros are doing during the Ceremonies is incredible, so is the commitment, care and compassion of the facilitators. If you feel „the call“, don‘t hesitate! Best decision ever!

My time at Soltara Ayahuasca Retreat was truly life-changing — a once-in-a-lifetime experience… until I go back. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The facilitators, staff, and healers created an atmosphere of safety, comfort, and reassurance that allowed me to fully surrender to the process. The accommodations were beautiful, the food was nourishing and delicious, and every detail felt intentional and heart-centered. The medicine itself was an unexplainable experience — deeply transformative in ways words can’t quite capture. I left Soltara with a renewed sense of clarity, healing, and purpose. The connections I made there have become lifelong friendships, and the positive changes have been evident not only to me but to everyone around me since returning home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience — I’m already looking forward to going back.
