About this Retreat
Your Guides
Rafael Solari is a facilitator of ceremonial and somatic healing practices whose path has been shaped through years of immersion in traditional plant medicine lineages across South America.
Originally from Brazil, he spent extensive time living in Ecuador and traveling through regions of the Amazon, where he learned through Shipibo-influenced ceremonial traditions and indigenous wisdom keepers. These experiences deeply informed his understanding of plant medicine, sound, energy work, and the importance of safe, respectful ceremonial space.
His work today weaves together ancestral knowledge with modern embodiment practices, including breathwork, somatic healing, aquatic somatic practices, and aquatic healing experiences. Through water-based and land-based modalities, he supports deep nervous system regulation, emotional release, and reconnection to the bodyβs natural intelligence.
Rafaelβs approach is rooted in humility, presence, and responsibility β prioritizing safety, integration, and authentic inner transformation over intensity or spectacle.
Each retreat he facilitates is designed as a structured journey into awareness, nature connection, and emotional realignment, supporting participants to return to balance, clarity, and embodied presence in daily life.
