![]() I felt so deeply connected to the beautiful environment that Soltara sits in and so connected to everyone I was lucky enough to share this experience with. They really have thought of everything in terms of making this (sometimes uncomfortable) experience as comfortable as possible. I felt so safe and well looked after during my stay, I found the staff incredibly knowledgeable, support and caring and the facilities were top notch. ![]() I am so grateful I chose Soltara as the place to have my first plant medicine experience. "My experience at Soltara was life changing. I'd happily recommend this retreat for anyone looking to make positive change in their life. Since the retreat, I've felt calmer, more positive, less depressed and anxious, more creative, more connected with my friends, family, and myself, and have a better outlook for the future. During the ceremony, we had beautiful singing from Pixie and Helena as well as an excellently curated playlist. All the facilitators were kind and empathetic and caring. I experienced beautiful visuals and was able to process events from my past in a safe environment. The psilocybin ceremony itself was incredible. We had delicious and fresh vegetarian food cooked every day by the chefs, yoga, breathwork, ecstatic dance, a cacao ceremony and more. I enjoyed the walks in the neighbouring forest, and the peaceful conservatory for relaxing and chatting with the other attendees, the sauna, and the presence of Jacob the Maine Coone cat. The location, Transitium ZeeVELD, is beautiful and peaceful. The retreat itself was wonderful and relaxing. I was a little nervous before attending, however after reading many studies and anecdotal reviews of the positive benefits of psilocybin, I settled and became excited to attend. "I attended the late November 2023 retreat in Amsterdam with Darragh, Pixie (Caroline) & Helena. A piece of you will always be in my heart. I am grateful to have found family with you all. Shout out to Sam, Hector, Nick, Satya, Tatiana, Ana, Jesse, Maestra Silvia, Maestro Javier, and everybody at Soltara. It’s not going to be an easy process, but it’s part of my healing and I look forward to spreading my new wings. I am honored to have gotten to know everyone and take everything I’ve learned during this trip back home and integrate. Sharemonies we’re powerful for me to connect with the reflections of myself I saw in others and strengthened the sense of community as we all healed together. But when I did, visuals, downloads, and many other experiences (for me at least) occurred. A lot had happened while I was under the medicine. ![]() ![]() I have a huge trust issue and to be able to trust complete strangers on such a daunting process is batshit scary and terrifying. The facilitators especially, they are amazing human beings and I couldn’t have pushed through the doubts and discomforts I experienced while under the medicine and outside of it if they didn’t always check in on me, listened to how I was feeling, helping me understand myself, and guiding me and everyone else along the way. Since Day 1, each and every single person that works at Soltara, from the facilitators, the kitchen staff, the maestros, groundskeepers, hospitality, even the guards, all cared about me and my healing and was there for me in every single way possible. I came to Soltara for 12 Days with hopes I could find an answer and a solution to the hollowness inside, to give my life meaning and purpose and find out why I hated myself so much and what my purpose in this world was. "When I had booked this trip, my mind, spirit, and body were not in alignment and I was going through a difficult time in my life between work, family, and me.
