Soltara Healing Center operates three retreat centers across Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula and Pacific coast, offering immersive ayahuasca healing retreats led by nine Shipibo master healers with 12-30+ years of traditional training. Each retreat includes multiple ayahuasca ceremonies, flower baths, group integration circles, and individual therapeutic support from trauma-informed facilitators. The all-inclusive experience covers meals, lodging, ceremonies, activities, and transportation from designated pickup points. Soltara maintains on-site medical infrastructure including 24/7 first responder availability, a health clinic, and nearby hospital access. Their approach combines ancestral Shipibo healing practices with modern psychotherapeutic understanding, supported by an advisory board of leading researchers and clinicians in the plant medicine field.
