Held by the Circle: Safety and Support at Camino al Sol
When we choose to sit with powerful ancestral medicines like yagé (ayahuasca), we are not only opening the door to deep healing—we are opening ourselves. And in that openness, one thing becomes essential: trust. At Camino al Sol, your trust is not taken lightly. It is honored, protected, and held with great care.
A Sanctuary for the Soul
Camino al Sol is not just a retreat—it is a sanctuary. From the moment you arrive, you step into a space that has been intentionally created to hold you, not only physically but energetically and emotionally. Every element of the experience, from the welcoming fire to the final circle of integration, is designed to ensure you feel safe, supported, and deeply respected.
This is not a place of performance or pressure. It is a place of presence. You are never expected to be anything but real—however that looks in each moment.
Trauma-Informed, Heart-Led
True support begins with deep listening. The team at Camino al Sol includes experienced facilitators who are not only rooted in the traditions of the Siona lineage, but also trained in trauma-informed care. That means your story is welcome. Your pace is respected. Your “no” is sacred.
Boundaries are clear and lovingly held. You will always be given the freedom to choose—to participate, to rest, to speak, or to remain in silence. You are not here to be pushed through a process. You are here to be gently guided through your own unfolding.
Guided by Lineage and Integrity
Safety at Camino al Sol is also spiritual safety. The ceremonies are guided by taitas—respected shamans from the Siona tradition—whose work is rooted in generations of knowledge, humility, and devotion. Their role is not to impress, but to protect. Not to direct your journey, but to create the conditions for it to unfold with grace and clarity.
Each ceremony is held with prayer, intention, and ritual cleansing to ensure the space remains energetically clean and grounded. Sacred plants are not treated as tools, but as elders—approached with reverence and care.
Physical Care and Emotional Holding
Beyond the spiritual container, Camino al Sol provides tangible care: clean beds, nourishing meals, warm showers, plant baths, and nature itself. Support staff are available throughout the retreat to assist you if anything arises—physically, emotionally, or otherwise. You are never alone here.
If your journey becomes challenging, you are not left adrift. Trained companions sit quietly nearby, ready to hold your hand, bring you water, or simply remind you that you are safe, seen, and supported.
A Circle that Holds All
Whether you come as an individual, with your family, or as part of a working group, Camino al Sol creates circles of belonging. There is no hierarchy of healing here. Whether you are a seasoned seeker or stepping into this world for the first time, your experience is honored as equal.
After each ceremony, integration circles allow you to share, process, and make sense of what arose. These conversations are never forced but gently facilitated, ensuring that each voice is heard with compassion and care.
For families, children are lovingly supported by the team so that parents can fully participate, knowing their little ones are safe, nearby, and free to simply be children. For working groups, the circle becomes a bridge for new understanding, empathy, and collaboration.
Real Healing Happens in Safety
Yagé can open the deepest doors of memory, emotion, and spirit. But no healing is possible if you don’t feel safe. Camino al Sol understands this deeply. That’s why the foundation of everything they do is care. Attentive, grounded, loving care.
This is not about creating a perfect experience. It is about creating a safe enough space for the truth to emerge, in whatever form it needs to.
You may laugh. You may cry. You may feel lost for a moment. But always, you will be held.
The Invitation
If you’ve been longing for a space where you can let go, be fully yourself, and heal in a way that honors all of who you are—know this: you are already being called.
Camino al Sol is here to walk with you. Not to fix you. Not to change you. But to hold a light while you remember your way home.
You don’t have to do it alone.
Start your journey in a space where you are safe to open, safe to release, and safe to transform.
