OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

We are called to serve medicine in sacred ceremony with integrity, humility, and compassion. By creating a safe space and working only with experienced, well-intentioned healers and facilitators, we uphold the lessons of the medicines and build a foundation of mutual trust, authenticity, and respect. We are not gurus, preachers, or enlightened beings – our healers are Maestros who humbly transmit the knowledge and healing energies of the plants, and our facilitators are devoted to helping guests face, process, and explore difficult experiences and emotions, handle projections, manage expectations, and surrender to the process. We strive to uphold the highest integrity in everything we do and be a beacon for responsible, safe, and ethical practices, such that our guests feel safe and supported to get the most out of their healing.

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.

Would give 6 stars if I could

I did the 7 day retreat at Goddess Falls with Soltara and it exceeded expectations. The facilitators, attendees, staff, healers were beyond supportive and helpful. The land was stunning and supportive. The ceremonies were unbelievable. I encountered deep, deep healing on my journey. As a single woman, I wanted to go somewhere that prioritized my safety. I never began to feel remotely unsafe, even while in San Jose before the retreat. I will be back one day when the calling comes back to me. Until then, I can't recommend Soltara enough, especially for woman traveling by themselves.

The overall experience of this ayahuasca retreat was indeed incredibly healing. Absolutely enhanced and strengthened by the amazing staff at Soltara. The sincerity and compassion flowing through the staff and the healers was constantly tangible. My heart and mind were changed. Thank you, Matthew and Vivianna and Erin and Sasha.

Safe, beautiful and unforgettable.

I spent five nights at Soltara, including three ceremonies, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

The setting is absolutely stunning — nestled in the rainforest and mountains, surrounded by beautiful wildlife. It’s the kind of place that naturally puts you at ease. The meals were another highlight: the chef prepares food that’s both clean and flavorful, always leaving you feeling full and energized.

What truly stood out, though, were the facilitators. They create a safe, supportive environment and guide you through each journey with care and respect. Everyone comes with a different story, but in my group, eleven strangers arrived and left as friends. That sense of connection, with others and with myself, is something I’ll carry forward.

I came away with insights and lessons that will stay with me for life. I’d return without hesitation, and I recommend Soltara to anyone who feels called to experience it.

Absolutely incredible!

When I first went to Soltara in April, I was fully prepared to start my journey alone. The circumstances changed, however, I ended up going with my abuser. It was a very challenging experience for me. They felt I was robbed of my experience and wanted to make it right by giving me a free ride to the Playa Blanca location. The experience of feeling safe, in community and open has truly changed my life. I’m not saying the challenges in life are gone, but it gives me hope for my future again. The staff - from facilitators, cooks, maestros, grounds keepers, cleaners you name it - everything is outstanding. The medicine will always give you what you need. I highly recommend Soltara to anyone the medicine calls.

If you’re looking for healing, look no further

This place makes healing with Ayahuasca in the Shipibo tradition accessible for those of us who don’t want to venture deep into the rainforest and prefer a bit more comfort — like rooms with air conditioning. The ceremonies with the plant medicine, the Shipibo healers, and their Ikaros songs are an incredible experience. Everything is guided by wonderful facilitators who are always there to support you, even through the most challenging moments. They make the entire experience feel very safe.

It’s hard to put into words, but I found the answers I was seeking and felt deeply relieved and joyful when I left.

The food also deserves a special mention — it’s all locally sourced and among the best I’ve ever had. I would come back just for that!
