About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Nestled in the heart of the Andes, where majestic mountains converge with verdant landscapes, we invite you to breathe deeply and be fully here as you connect to the natural rhythms and healing lands supporting our deeply intentional retreat programs in the Sacred Valley of Peru.
Guided by the wisdom and lineage of our Shipibo Maestros, and supported by highly experienced trauma-informed facilitators, we offer 5 and 7 night retreat programs with extensive preparation and integration support before and after your retreat, and intentional programming during your stay.
We support you in grounding your experience with ayahuasca plant medicine through sharing circles, embodiment practices, meditation, medicinal flower baths, lovingly prepared meals, integration workshops, consultations with our healers, and plenty of space to absorb the aliveness of the Sacred Valley around you.
We are grateful to work in collaboration with the retreat venue Raíces Inkas to bring you into a container of presence, peace, and connection, where the rhythms of nature reflect our own unfolding, and all of you is welcome.
Our retreat space is nestled in the tranquil village of Arín, at the foothills of the majestic mountain Pitusiray. Surrounded by cascading waterfalls and lovingly tended gardens of medicinal plants, rest easy in hammocks and secluded spaces, warm yourself by cozy fireplaces, and deepen your connection to yourself and nature in shalas overlooking the sacred mountains of Pitusiray and Sahuasiray.
Breathe in the crisp, invigorating mountain air and the spirit of this healing land as you embark on your journey inward. Embraced and nurtured by sweeping vistas and vibrant soundscapes, the Incas believed the Sacred Valley was a gateway to the spiritual world.
As we enter into sacred space together, let this land be a portal to catalyze the ceremony of your life.
_____
We are called to serve medicine in sacred ceremony with integrity, humility, and compassion. By creating a safe space and working only with experienced, well-intentioned healers and facilitators, we uphold the lessons of the medicines and build a foundation of mutual trust, authenticity, and respect. We are not gurus, preachers, or enlightened beings – our healers are maestros who humbly transmit the knowledge and healing energies of the plants, and our facilitators are devoted to helping guests face, process, and explore difficult experiences and emotions, handle projections, manage expectations, and surrender to the process. We strive to uphold the highest integrity in everything we do and be a beacon for responsible, safe, and ethical practices, such that our guests feel safe and supported to get the most out of their healing.

Best decision I’ve ever made!
I’m so glad I did this. It was exactly what I needed to get out of this negative space I’ve been stuck in for too long. I’m forever grateful and can’t wait to return in the future one day. Thank you!!!

This is THE place
I just returned home after my second retreat with Soltara at Playa Blanca in Costa Rica. I did a ton of research starting over a year ago before I booked my first retreat with them in June 2023. It was an amazing experience, and I left knowing that I had more work to do and would be back. I scheduled my second retreat with them for April 2024 and it was the most healing and transformative experience of my life. The staff and the facilitators are top-tier. If you are looking for the perfect setting for your healing Ayahuasca journey, you have found it with Soltara. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have amazing facilitators, staff, chef and food, yoga and rooms. The staff builds such a safe and intentional container for this important work. It makes ALL the difference. They also have after care support and other resources available for pre and post retreat. Which has been super helpful. Happy journeying

Life changing
I took a great deal of time selecting the location and retreat centre I was going to do my healing with. From start to finish Soltara in Costa Rica stood out and delivered. Everything was simply incredible. The location, the food, the staff, the workers, the accommodations, everything. I look for to telling everyone about this place. Simply magical. Already looking forward to my return.
