We believe healing even takes place in the kitchen. We take on the mantra by the Greek physician, Hippocrates: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” We honor the role of food in our lives and expand it beyond its primary purpose of bodily nourishment – food can be an avenue to dig deeper into ourselves, consciously looking at our patterns and mindsets surrounding not just what we eat, but how and why we eat what we do. Our eating habits don’t just affect our mental health, they also reflect it. At Soltara, we aim to help you jumpstart this process of connection through conscious cooking on all levels. Diet is an important part of the healing process, both on its own and also to help prepare the mind and body for plant medicine work. We work closely with our shamans to prepare wholesome, delicious meals that adhere to the traditional dietary guidelines of working with ayahuasca. All of our meals are freshly prepared in-house by our loving kitchen staff. From fresh smoothies and juices every morning, to plant-based meals emphasizing local, organic, and sustainable produce, to lean proteins such a chicken and fish, we celebrate the rich local flavor of Costa Rican cuisine, and offer a chance to experience a connection to the land and culture while nourishing the body, mind, and spirit.

pristine healing experience in most loving and caregiving environment

My experience with the 7-day soltara retreat in goddess falls has been beyond words. I can't explain how much love, gratitude and care I have felt for the maestras, the facilitator team and our group. In a difficult moment during my second ceremony a facilitator was there to hold my hand, breath with me and make sure that I was able to handle the wave of medicine that came through. I feel really blessed that I got to make this existential experience in this environment and fully want to recommend soltara to anyone who is open to explore the realm beyond our material world and willing to profoundly work on the personal fears and inner demons. On top, the nature, food and glamping accommodation just made the whole retreat appear like a perfect symphony in paradise.

Beyond Words

I just returned from a 7-day retreat at Goddess Falls, and I simply want to express my deepest gratitude to all the facilitators and maestras. I am so grateful I chose to have this beautiful experience in such a special place and with such wonderful people. Everything was perfect—truly beyond anything I could have hoped for.

Thank you sooo much, Soltara team.

A life-changing experience — again!

I am a few days post-retreat at Soltara, and wow… what an incredible experience it was (again).

The seed for Mother Ayahuasca was planted in me back in 2018, but it took six years before I finally listened to the call. I went to Peru last year, and that’s where Mother Aya brought deep past traumas to the surface so I could truly see them, accept them and begin to heal. It was one of the most difficult journeys of my life, but the amount of support and care I received was beyond anything I had ever experienced.

Robert, Gemma, and my dear Bonnie were handpicked by God to do this work. Their embodiment, wisdom, compassion and presence do not go unnoticed. After leaving that first time, it took months before the integration began and the pieces in my life started falling into place. My relationships improved, especially with my children and slowly, I started to feel myself coming home to who I really am.

This year, I felt the call again. I went to Goddess Falls last week and wow… what a beautiful, powerful, and completely different experience from the first. Still challenging, still humbling, but this time I felt like the chapter that opened last year finally closed.

I was blessed to have Gemma and Robert again as my facilitators and it honestly felt divinely orchestrated as if they witnessed the beginning and the completion of a profound healing cycle in me. Their support, their intuition and their care were everything.

The entire staff blew me away once again. The love, the presence, the attention to detail, it’s undeniable. I also had the gift of meeting Isabell and Matthew David on this retreat and they were every bit as extraordinary as Bonnie. Soltara has truly crafted something rare: a program rooted in integrity, intention and heart!

And the maestros and the Maestri’s… they are on a whole different level. Their medicine, their icaros, their energy; beyond words. Mother Aya, the facilitators and the maestros are woven together so beautifully by Soltara. One could not exist without the other.

I am endlessly grateful for this experience. Grateful for the call. Grateful that I listened. And grateful that Soltara exists as a place to journey so deeply, so safely and so sacredly.

This work has changed my life; twice now. And I know it will continue to shape who I am becoming. 💚✨🌿

Profound experience in beautiful setting with amazing staff.

I came back from Soltara at Goddess Falls yesterday. I'm physically back but I am mentally still there-still reliving my visions and missing tremendously the Costa Rican jungle and everyone would took such good care of us.
It was my first time taking part of Ayahuasca ceremonies. It was my first time being part of a community group based retreat- and a retreat itself. It was my first time signing up for an all included organized trip. After reading many positive reviews of Soltara, I knew I was up for a treat, but it exceeded my expectations.
Experiencing the ceremonies in the Maloca in the middle of the jungle contributed to the perfection of my experience. By the end of the third ceremony, I was making one with the Earth, the ground, the sounds of the jungle; the dampness became warm and cozy. The voices of the maestras singing the Icaros blended with the sounds of the wilderness around us. Isabelle and Robert were highly professional and beautiful; the way they carried the retreat and orchestrated the ceremonies seemed effortless even if I know it was a lot of preparation and it takes them a lot of energy to stay present with all of us. The maestras, Karina and Sylvia, were exceptional. Gemma and Balia were wonderful. Domingo was so nice and patient - keeping us safe during the ceremonies. The chef and all the other staff were wonderful.
The swim at Goddess Falls was such a treat and a refreshing break from all the exhaustion we went through as a group. My group was interesting as all of us were doing Ayahuasca ceremonies for the first time-except one person who stayed from the previous week.
I highly recommend Soltara-especially at Goddess Fall. It is not only an oustanding setting, but also an honor to discover the Shapibo culture surrounded by beautiful souls: Karina, Sylvia, Isabelle, Robert, Gemma, Balia, and everyone else.
