About this Retreat
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.
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.
Details of this retreat
From the moment guests arrive, they are transported into a tropical jungle paradise, shoes are kicked off, phones are put into flight mode, and they are greeted with a cold coconut and a warm embrace.
We begin this work together with an orientation of the space, a detailed discussion about the ceremony and what to expect.
Our home provides the right tone, comfort, and atmosphere for this introspective work. We have a beautiful dedicated space for ceremony. The noises of the jungle provide the daily soundtrack to your stay. The frequency of the land can be felt. It is magical.
Meeting the ayahuasca whilst being held in our safe and loving environment is a truly transformative experience.
This 1 night experience is for people who want to experience change in their lives, establish a deeper connection with themselves and those around them, heal from trauma, and release old patterns and limiting beliefs.
You will experience one Ayahuasca ceremony with facilitators who follow the Shipibo lineage of practice and are trauma-informed.
This retreat offers a very relaxed, homestyle stay.
Welcomed into our family environment, guests will feel very much at ease.
This environment allows people to really go as deep as they want with the medicine.
If you are currently taking antidepressants (SSRIs) you may not be able to drink with us. We require a minimum of 4 weeks clear of these pharmaceuticals.
54 Five Star Reviews on Google - Guest Eve Care "Words can’t describe the profound experience I had with Neil and Fiona. We did a couple private Aya ceremonies in their home and it was the most special experience. I felt so safe, welcomed by both of them. The whole process, from the flower baths and everything else, I felt so nurtured. My second ceremony was the most challenging for me and despite the process it was deeply healing to be held through it and witnessed through some of the most difficult parts of myself in the journey. The songs, voices and safety was such a gift to experience. I will remember this forever and how my life has changed. Will recommend everyone I know to sowa soma ♥️🙏🏽🦋 so much love"
