Soltara Playa Blanca | Seven Night Retreat
Description
Set in a serene seaside sanctuary within the tropical jungle of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, this center offers a deeply restorative path of self-discovery. In collaboration with Indigenous Peruvian Shipibo master healers and sacred plant medicine, alongside other traditional and modern healing modalities, guests are supported through an immersive healing experience in a safe and loving environment.
With decades of combined experience in ceremony and medicine work, the team is dedicated to holding space with integrity, humility, and compassion. Every effort is made to create a setting rooted in trust, authenticity, and respect, working only with experienced and well-intentioned healers and facilitators. Rather than positioning themselves as gurus or enlightened beings, the healers serve as maestros who humbly share the knowledge and healing energies of the plants, while the facilitators support guests in navigating difficult emotions, expectations, projections, and the surrender required by the process. The commitment to responsible, ethical, and safe practice is central to every aspect of the experience.
