Soltara

Soltara is a holistic retreat brand offering ayahuasca-centered healing experiences at three locations in Costa Rica: Emerald Valley, Goddess Falls, and Playa Blanca. Its approach combines the Shipibo tradition, guided by Indigenous Peruvian healers, with trauma-informed facilitation, psychotherapeutic practices, and medical support. Retreats are designed to help guests explore emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing in an intimate group setting, with personalized support and traditional icaros, or healing songs, during ceremonies.

Soltara offers retreats in several formats, including five-, seven-, and twelve-night schedules, alongside lodging options ranging from eco-luxe to luxury. Guests can also take part in supportive modalities such as breathwork, creative expression, nature-based activities, and community experiences. Preparation and integration are central to the program: Soltara provides resources and community support across a year-long journey, extending beyond the retreat itself.

The organization also describes initiatives focused on reciprocity, accessibility, and conservation, including scholarships, local projects, and support for Shipibo-led and Amazon conservation efforts. Its website provides retreat information, travel guidance, safety policies, testimonials, and booking options.
