"Christina was amazing both holding the space for everyone and with me personally. She has a range of knowledge/tools that I have not encountered before. I immediately trusted her leadership (and that happened very infrequently in my life). She spoke with me with great love on one hand and great firmness depth and honesty (as I required) on the other! That has been very important for my development during Cerimonies and after. I am very grateful to her and her amazing path. The Maestros and the Cerimonies. These are soo beautiful and profound that I know already will never be forgotten. The whole background, organisation, other facilitators food rooms yoga (in no particular order) are very close to perfection. If I coupd name one small detail in my room that I would have liked to be different is the colour of the light (a warmer colour would preferable). Nothing went wrong. I will be back in a year time hopefully with my brother and some good friends. I just feel that they should have the opportunity to get some of the changes that I see in me or in the people around me. Last but not least: the Medicine what to say about that other than Irake! Irake to everyone including my fellow pasaheros. 🙏 "

"Complete breakthrough. Can’t explain to others because they won’t believe "

Matt December, 2024

"My journey to Soltara this past week has been the most profound lesson in healing that I've ever known. I came here wondering where this road would lead me - believing, meditating, and having faith in the process as it unwound. But what transpired was a growth of self, and self-awareness that I never knew was imaginable. Ayahuasca is a powerful, and mystical medicine that brings you eye to eye 👁️🌀👁️ with your creator, and the deepest part of your soul, daring you to explore what lays in depths far beyond the edge of your comfort zone. It's not for the weak of heart; it's not for the weak of mind. It takes so much courage to show up to this space and dive headfirst into the unknown. Open. Eager. And ready to do the work. And make no mistake, it is *deeply* challenging work. But the magic that unfolds, in, out of, and around these sacred ceremonies - with people from all ages and cultures and walks of life - is real. It's tangible. And it matters. Being able to engage heart-first with 19 other strangers, as we expanded into deep, textured conversation about our fears, vulnerabilities, failures, successes, dreams, and insecurities, is lightning in a bottle for the human spirit ⚡️⚗️ My relationship with each and every one of these incredible people, has instilled in me a dose of perspective - of the beauty, and joy, and tragedy of humanity in all its forms - and reminded me of universal urge we all possess to truly, deeply heal ourselves. The strength it takes to be a pillar for people trying to do this kind of work is mind boggling. And unsurprisingly, the facilitators at Soltara are some of the most insightful, compassionate, and beautiful beings I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. To create a safe container at all times - from discussing childhood traumas, career frustrations, deaths of loved ones, and beyond - is a calling and a blessing to humanity. Christina, David, Frida, Tati, & Paolo all truly - truly - speak the Language of the Universe, and are some of the wisest teachers I've ever been fortunate to know. it took three ceremonies for me to connect and really achieve the big breakthrough. I was the first to drink. Got some meditation and exercise earlier in the day. And could just feel that it was time Sipping tea in the presence of these legends, as my eyes drifted away into fluorescent skies and constellations connecting I came here searching for answers, and seeking transformation. What I've been left with is a gift. Of what it truly means to see the goodness in humanity, our stories, our traditions, and our planet. And to trust, deeper than ever, in the goodness that I'm meant to share with the world. Endless gratitude to the mystery woven into the fabric of this universe, to the things we can't explain, and to the passengers who dare to explore what is really out there waiting for them. To the rich roots and rhythm of the Shipibo tradition and ceremony, their sacred relationship to this plant medicine, and to their almighty icaros - passed down from maestro to maestro for the past millennia - thank you for providing the protection and clarity I needed for this reawakening."

Scott December, 2024

"Soltara at Playa Blanca offers an extraordinary experience and a nurturing environment for anyone embarking on or continuing their healing journey. From the warm welcome by the facilitation staff to the final moments of departure, I felt lovingly supported throughout my experience. The facilitation team and retreat staff wholeheartedly embrace each participant, providing a safe, insightful, and knowledgeable atmosphere during the retreat. I was truly captivated by the retreat, and I am eternally grateful to the facilitators for their compassion and dedication in creating a secure space for my journey with plant medicine. The serene and picturesque Playa Blanca location added to the experience; I thoroughly enjoyed short hikes around the property, often spotting monkeys frolicking in the trees. The walk to the secluded beach is therapeutic in itself, and once there, the soothing waves and breathtaking ocean views were magnificent. The culinary offerings surpassed all expectations, with each meal thoughtfully prepared with care and creativity. If you're contemplating a journey with plant medicine, I wholeheartedly recommend considering Soltara. With its commitment to authentic Shipibo ceremonies, skilled maestros, dedicated facilitation team, supportive staff, stunning location, and nourishing food, you'll find yourself in a loving, safe, and beautiful space to explore your plant medicine journey. Thank you, Soltara!"

"Beautiful retreat and relaxing vacation. Jen & Stuart are amazing hosts, the staff were great, & made us feel like we were visiting friends. The meals were delicious & nutritious. We were there for adventure & Jen & Stuart provided us with a great recommendation & connection for surfing, fishing, & paddle boarding. They even cooked the fish we caught for dinner for us. We were fortunate to see a lot of wildlife on the property & humpback whales & dolphins in the gulf. Such a wonderful trip. We are looking forward to visiting again."

John November, 2024

"I had an excellent retreat at Soltara's new facility in the jungles of the Nicoya peninsula. Crossing the river 4 times and walking down a jungle trail for 30 minutes was just the start of the adventure that my soul needed for a healing 7 day, 4 ceremony retreat. The cohort was intimate. Only 8 people, we bonded and transformed together while the facilitators and Shaman guided us. The food was excellent and tasty. I lost 11 lbs which I needed to do! This retreat facility is really magical, you are immersed in the jungle, safe and sound. It's truly a unique place that is much more interesting than just another beach resort experience. Do your soul a favor and book it while they are offering ceremonies at this facility. "

Josh November, 2024

"Words can’t even describe how wonderful this retreat was for me. Some incredible insights and healing happened, and some wonderful friendships were made. The facilitators…I am truly at a loss for the work these people do. For me, personally, spending time with them was worth the trip itself. And then you add in the Maestros, the scenery, and of course, the medicine. It feels like this is something every person is meant to experience in their lives, it is such a beautiful and healing experience. And the way in which Soltara operates, honoring Shipibo traditions and respecting the medicine and the individuals journey, I can’t imagine doing this anywhere else after this experience."

"I have experienced a very popular, very expensive retreat (I will not mention their name) and that did not measure up to what Jacqui and Embracing Your Light has to offer. I was blown away by the professionalism, knowledge, insight, wisdom, luxury and overall 5-star experience. Jacqui should be charging more for what she offers and the impact she has on the work she is so clearly born to do! I already signed my son up to have this experience too. "

Ester November, 2024

"Jacqui is an example of leadership, strength, knowledge, integrity. Jacqui is clearly doing what she was born to do! and she does it well, with grace. Please give yourself the gift of experiencing Jacqui and the work she does that makes a difference!"

Ester November, 2024

"Seriously the most magical, life-changing experience of my life! This does not discount the challenges I experienced deciding to proceed with a retreat I had no reference for or knowledge of. Especially with this being my first time with psilocybin, and traveling to a different country. Jacqui was amazing from zoom session to after the retreat. She provided all of the information necessary for me to confidently make my decision. She answered all of my questions and concerns, and I had many, she guided me and checked in with me in between, and greeted me upon arrival. She was my guardian angel! Plus - big big plus - she has remained connected with me even after the retreat! Jacqui genuinely cares and I am grateful and pleased that I found her! Don't miss your opportunity to experience Jacqui and this work that she generously offers! It'll change your life. It changed mine. "

"Overall, I can only say… wonderful and such a beautiful, nurturing setting. I have nothing to compare it to, but have a feeling this is in the top of this kind of experience! Thank you!"

Anonymous November, 2024

"Being new to this kind of experience, I was a little apprehensive- I immediately felt at ease when Jacqui greeted me the day I arrived. She is a grounded, loving, caring woman that is doing exactly what she is here to do. The word ‘Integrity’ is what comes to me with my interaction and experience with her and the retreat. I felt completely safe and held for this very vulnerable experience – it allowed me to let go into the places that I needed, to accomplish the deep work that we did together and in my journey. I feel blessed to have met her and that she is in my life!"

Anonymous November, 2024

"I had a wonderful experience at Soltara. The facilities, staff, and food were all 5 star level. This was my first experience with ayahuasca, and I was really happy I chose a place that offers so much support and love from the facilitators, maestros, and other participants."

Scott November, 2024

"From start to finish, Soltara is an invitation to profound and meaningful healing. It’s an invitation from you, to you, brought to life through the Soltara team and their unique, reverent culture. Deeply woven with Shipibo beliefs and traditions, Soltara embraces the medicine, the work, and each person’s individuality with deep respect. While ayahuasca experiences can be found in many places and can provide relief, Soltara offers something beyond that. Soltara is a transformative life experience. The entire staff is dedicated to ensuring you have the tools, resources, and support needed along every step of your journey. They meet you exactly where you are, accepting you—and every other participant—just as you are."

"It has taken me a few days to put into words the life changing experience I had at the all women’s psilocybin retreat in Florissant, CO. My expectations exceeded anything I could have imaged. From start to finish, it felt as if I were at a five start hotel with all the feels and comfort of home. The food was absolutely amazing!! Jacqui and her team created a safe, caring and supportive space to allow me to feel comfortable enough to allow myself to let go and let the medicine to do its work. Everything seems to happen like magic, very well organized and planned out. The agenda was well structured, intentional but not overwhelming. I felt loved, respected, understood and heard. I was surrounded by some amazing, strong women. The ceremony space, rituals maintained the tradition, culture and history of the plant medicine. I cannot wait to experience another retreat. "

"I knew I was seeking something I couldn't quite explain. I had no idea I would be leaving this retreat with answers, clarity, and a fresh new feeling about life. I left feeling ready to LIVE, and life fully. I am recharged and excited about my life and the funny thing is that nothing in my actual life has changed. The experience I had with Jacqui and her staff changed me in a way that feels wholesome, full, and like I can take on the world! I have deep empathy for myself, my experiences, and all of the people around me. I think if everyone had this experience we would be living in an entire different world experience. We would be living in a world filled with compassion and everyone living and offering their natural gifts to each other. I will be sending my mom to this retreat and then my dad, and the rest of my family too! "

"Jacqui knows what she is doing and she does it well. She seemed to be right where I needed her to be and I didn't even know it until she was there. Jacqui is magical, insightful, professional, and fun. Everyone needs a Jacqui in their life. I can't say enough good things about what I experienced with Jacqui. She is doing gods work and it is clear she is doing what she is meant to be doing. I am forever grateful that I got to experience Jacqui and the work she offers. "

"I had no idea what to expect but this experience with Jacqui and her staff was way more than I could have imagined. From her professionalism and knowledge, to her nurturing and guidance. I felt safe, cared for, and I had incredible breakthroughs specifically because of Jacqui's wisdom. Again from the professionalism, guidance, support, knowledge, every detail was thought through carefully. The food could have been it's own magical experience. Not only beautifully presented, the taste of every single bite delivered was a treat to my body. This is a retreat that everyone should experience no matter what you are seeking in your life. Do yourself a favor and gift yourself with a retreat with Jacqui and her staff. You will be happy you did. "

I recommend everyone under the sun to experience a retreat with Jacqui and her team at Embracing Your Light. They are top notch. They know what they are doing and it matters. What they have given me is a life-changing gift. My life has changed in the best possible way after my retreat with Jacqui and her team. "

"My Inward Bound experience was, at times, surprising and even challenging but in all ways illuminating and meaningful. The team of our four facilitators led this amazing process with deep knowledge, experience, creativity, and empathy. In this supportive atmosphere, I connected with myself and the other members of our group in the best possible ways. Beyond that, the comfortable accommodations, beautiful setting, and delicious, wholesome food made the perfect setting for a journey of self-discovery."

Ashlee October, 2024

"Surgery for the soul was how eloquently my cohort described the experience, and I couldn't agree more! Ayahuasca helped me in such a profound way. My journey leading up to the plant medicine had been years in the making and the opportunity to partake revealed itself at a time when I was most open hearted. It revealed truth to my authenticity, clarity for past blockages and gentle advice for current relationships. It has changed me for the better. I believe that this medicine is another tool for God our creator to bring truth and healing to all. The staff and setting of Soltara is an extension of the healing and support of the medicine. The peaceful jungle, attentive facilitators (Shout out Elan, Bonnie, Leah, Tati and Paolo), the talented chef Jesse and his phenomenal crew, everyone was so helpful, happy, light and supportive! I really can't say enough. This was my first experience and man, it's gonna be hard to top! My "cohorts" were a beautifully diverse group of amazing humans that will play a special role in this amazing experience. And last but certainly not least, the healers were absolutely remarkable. I am forever grateful to them for sharing such a sacred gem. Don't let fear hold you back, if you are called, answer. :-)"

Gábriel October, 2024

"It was my very first experience both with Inwardbound and with psilocybin. I cannot imagine how could it be better or more transforming than it was. In all aspect – it was perfect! The venue was great, providing all one needs for a retreat like this: beautiful nature, comfortable room, spacious common spaces, delicious healthy food, etc. I am forever grateful to the amazing Inwardbound team (Rob, Helena and Kalyani) for creating this safe, loving and supportive ceremonial space that allowed me to have this magical, life changing experience. What a profound journey!"

Richard October, 2024

"Inward Bound is the real deal. Rob, Renee, Darragh and Cristina created a space in time where a diverse group of people with varying intentions and needs opened, shared, sang, danced, laughed, loved and healed together. Delicious food, stunning setting and beautiful people. Go see for yourself. The best retreat I've been on. "

Chinelo October, 2024

"Every detail of this retreat was well thought out, from the food, to the location, to the medicinal therapeutic ceremonies. The connections I made and the work I was able to do was phenomenal. I felt as though I received years of therapy in only a few days. Jacqui and her team are brilliant and professional. This retreat truly and completely changed my life for the better. "

Renata October, 2024

"I participated in a 5-day psilocybin retreat in the Netherlands. I had a profound experience under the influence of the mushrooms, but equally important was the presence, advice, support and all the activities offered by the therapists/facilitators. They are amazing people, experienced and professional, passionate about what they do and dedicated to ensuring the best, safest and most inspiring setting. Thanks to them, I believe, I can process and integrate the psilocybin experience in a way most beneficial for my healing and growth. They helped me understand how important it is to work with the body, to take a more holistic approach to healing and lifestyle, and they showed me ways to do it. I am immensely grateful not only for the safety they provided, but also for the joy, music, movement and companionship. I can recommend Inwardbound to anyone wanting to experience psilocybin. Don't do it alone, do it with Inwardbound! "
