With a belief in the need to encompass the emotional, energetic, and spiritual aspects of healing, our mission at Soltara Healing Center is to empower each guest to bridge the gap between mind, body, and spirit and become more fully embodied, integrated, and connected versions of themselves.
Working with the Amazonian plant medicine ayahuasca under the guidance of indigenous Peruvian Shipibo healers, we collaborate with clinical psychologists with extensive plant medicine experience to support a uniquely integrative approach to healing.
Embraced and nurtured by sweeping vistas and vibrant soundscapes, the Incas believed the Sacred Valley was a gateway to the spiritual world. We invite you to the healing lands supporting our deeply intentional ayahuasca retreat programs in Peru's Sacred Valley.
Immerse yourself in the tapestry of natural beauty, ancient history, and rich cultural heritage of this region, as our beloved Shipibo Maestros and trauma-informed facilitators create a container of safety, presence, and connection to support your healing experience with ayahuasca plant medicine. Our 5- and 7-Night stays provide extensive body-based, emotional, therapeutic, and spiritual support before, during, and after your retreat. With decades of combined experience holding ceremony and doing medicine work, we will support and empower you to experience in-depth healing in a safe and loving environment.
Surrounded by nature and employing farm-to-table practices, our Sacred Valley retreats welcome intimate group sizes of no more than 16-18 guests. Our highly-skilled, gentle, loving Shipibo healers and facilitators will help guide you through self-discovery through plant medicine healing, supportive holistic modalities, and modern psychotherapeutic practices.
With a deep respect for the land and an ethos of safety, integrity, and reciprocity, our commitment to individual and global healing is our call to service in this spiritual and psychedelic movement taking place. We aim to create a culture and community based on balanced, practical, accessible information grounded in a spirit of cultural awareness and education.
We are grateful to collaborate with the retreat venue RaÃces Inkas, in the tranquil mountain village of ArÃn, where the peaceful rhythms of nature reflect our own unfolding, and all of you are welcome.
Bookings are now open through April 2024. Please visit our website for the most up-to-date information on scheduling and room availability. We look forward to welcoming you!
