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 4 night experience is for couples who want to have a life changing experience together, establishing a deeper connection and understanding with themselves and their partnership, heal from trauma, and release old patterns and limiting beliefs that may be stagnating or causing friction in their relationship.
You will experience two Ayahuasca ceremony with facilitators who follow the Shipibo lineage of practice and are trauma-informed. This is a custom experience, so we can add massages, beach horse treks, or a waterfall visit for example.
This retreat offers a very relaxed, homestyle stay. Welcomed into our family environment, guests will feel very much at ease.
The space we've created and the way in which we approach this work, 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.

Rimante "Our experience with Sowa Some was truly unforgettable.
From the very first moment, this beautiful, loving couple made us feel completely at ease. They held the space during the ayahuasca ceremony with such care, integrity, and deep knowledge of the plant medicine. Their presence felt grounded, safe, and genuinely heart-centered.
The place we stayed was magical - surrounded by jungle, under the canopy of the trees, waking up to the sounds of monkeys and even seeing them in the morning. It made the whole experience feel even more special and connected to nature.
And a special mention to Mia the dog and Selva the cat, who perfectly embodied the warm and welcoming energy of their owners - always ready to offer cuddles exactly when needed.
What touched us most was how it felt like staying with family, not with people we had just met. There was such authenticity, kindness, and care in everything they did.
Deeply grateful for this experience 🤍"
