Soltara
Soltara is a Shipibo-led, trauma-informed ayahuasca center on a mission to expand the definition of healing and help people become fully embodied working with the Amazonian plant medicine – before, during and after their retreat. We have retreats in Costa Rica and offer retreats that range from 5, 7 and 12-night experiences.
Why ayahuasca?
This plant-based psychedelic can serve as a powerful tool for healing and spiritual and emotional growth. With the right set and setting, ayahuasca can allow us to understand the true roots of fear and trauma.
Our approach
We aim to create a safe and supportive environment. We only work with highly experienced indigenous Shipibo healers from the Amazon. Our facilitation team also has combined decades of experience working with ayahuasca for thousands of guests. We brew our ayahuasca with only 2 plants found in the Amazon jungle – the ayahuasca vine and the chacruna leaf, which contains the powerful psychoactive DMT.

Some experiences have the power to shift the way we see ourselves and the world. Have you ever gone through something that changed you deeply?
We’d love to hear your thoughts!

In the Shipibo tradition, a flower bath is a ritual performed before an ayahuasca ceremony to cleanse and prepare one’s energy. This practice involves fresh water infused with specific plants and flowers, each selected for their unique spiritual and medicinal properties.
Key Components of the Flower Bath:
• Marigold (Rosa Sisa) – Clears negative energy and attracts positivity
• Lipstick Plant (Labio de Novia) – Opens the heart and supports emotional healing
• Brunfelsia (Chiric Sanango) – Removes energetic blockages and promotes spiritual clarity
• Cyperus (Piri-Piri) – Strengthens intuition and deepens spiritual connection
• Basil (Albahaca) – Purifies and restores balance
• Wild Tobacco (Mapacho) – Grounds and offers protection
Benefits of the Flower Bath:
• Clears stagnant or heavy energy
• Promotes emotional balance and relaxation
• Enhances spiritual receptivity and intuition
• Strengthens energetic protection
• Prepares the body and mind for deeper connection with the ayahuasca medicine
The Maestra carefully selects and blesses these plants, allowing their natural properties to cleanse, align, and uplift. This ritual offers a moment of stillness and reflection, helping participants enter the ceremony with clarity and openness.
