About this Retreat
Sowa Soma was founded by Fiona and Neil, a husband and wife team who have been working with medicinal plants for over a decade, holding retreats in Europe and Costa Rica. In 2021, they decided to take their family and work and relocate to Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, to further deepen their connection to Ayahuasca and the jungle.
During Fiona's time in the medicine world, she has sat in many circles both indigenous and non indigenous to the Amazon. She has come to know and learn from lineages within the Shipibo-Konibo and Huni Kuin tribes and continues to learn with plants through master plant dietas, these include White Sage, Rose, Cacao, Passionflower and Mugwort.
Fiona is particularly passionate about supporting woman in ceremony, helping to create as much of a safe environment as possible. This work extends to helping women to integrate plants into their daily lives to tune into and fully embrace their menstruation cycles.
In addition to plant medicine facilitation, Fiona offers preparation and integration coaching and menstruation mentoring and supports couples and individuals with conscious conception, birth, postpartum and beyond.
Sowa Soma was founded by Neil and Fiona, a husband and wife team who have been working with medicinal plants for over a decade, in Europe and Costa Rica. In 2021, they relocated to Costa Rica's Caribbean coast to deepen their connection with Ayahuasca and to offer ceremonial work in its verdant jungle.
During Neil's time in the medicine world, he has sat in many circles both indigenous and non indigenous to the Amazon. He has come to know and learn from lineages within the Shipibo-Konibo and Huni Kuin tribes. As part of his continuation to learn with plants, Neil has carried out a number of master plant dietas including Noya Rao, Mugwort, White Sage, Chuchuwasi, Rose, Dandelion, Bobinsana, Passionflower, Cacao and Cannabis.
Neil follows the path of Noya Rao and is currently dieting Noya Rao under the Mahua Shipibo Konibo lineage. The plant dietas are an anchor for the work they do and support them and their space in many ways.
Neil offers pre and post ceremonial support, integration coaching, 121 and small group ayahuasca ceremonies, retreats, group social dietas and private isolation diets in his home in Costa Rica.
Details of this retreat
Join us for an immersive 6 night retreat in the verdant jungle of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. You will experience 3 Ayahuasca ceremonies and 1 Cacao ceremony, held by experienced, trauma informed facilitators with over a decade each of working with this sacred medicine. The location is spectacular, in a safe and luxurious setting overlooking the ocean and rain forest canopy. Wake up to sounds of Howler Monkeys, the calls of nesting Green Macaw parrots and playful Toucans.
Our small retreat is for a maximum of 6 people and will be supported with massage, sound healing, traditional floral bathing, time in nature, ancestral healing, integration and nourishing organic food. We prioritise rest and relaxation during the week, allowing guests space to integrate and reflect upon their experience. We provide practical tools and simple techniques to take away to continue to support the integration process.
Our retreats are for people who want to experience profound change in their lives, establish a deeper connection with themselves and those around them, heal from trauma and release old patterns and limiting beliefs.
