TESTIMONIALS
The environment, the people, and the energy throughout the experience were all deeply nourishing. What stood out most was the way it all concluded, with beautiful, heartfelt conversations and a dinner that Mario and Carolina invited me to stay for that felt like pure magic. They welcomed me with open arms, cooked an incredible meal, and created the kind of connection that stays with you long after the retreat ends.
This wasn’t just a retreat, it was a reminder of what it feels like to be fully seen, supported, and surrounded by good-hearted people doing meaningful work. I left feeling grateful, aligned, and inspired.
I’m so grateful to have been part of this and can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone feeling called to this kind of work. Truly a transformative and soul-enriching experience.

I recently became curious about plant medicine, and how it may be of help to me. While doing research, I came across information about Ayahuasca. I have always been nervous of taking anything unknown since I have always been so sensitive to a lot of substances. (I am also allergic to marijuana). In my research I found countless websites with different retreat options around the world, but most didn’t resonate with me. Eventually I discovered Mario and Carolina at Sowa Nete in Costa Rica. After scheduling a video call with them there was zero doubt in my mind that this is where I was going to go, and with these people. The genuine love and passion for their service to people through their medicine retreats was glaringly clear, and I felt immediately connected and safe with them.
From the moment I arrived until the moment I left the retreat, I was in awe of the level of care and support. The food that we were given was clean, healthy and delicious, and was made with so much care. The activities surrounding the ceremonies were also full of love and support of the overall journey we were on, whether it was a bonfire, sunset, waterfall, breath work, mediation, or simply sitting connecting and sharing together. Being in a small group allowed for a very intimate connection with my fellow retreat folks and with Mario and his team. The ceremonies themselves were made to be very comfortable and the singing that Mario, Sofi and Pedro did was unforgettable…. I can still hear them in my mediations.
My experience with the medicine herself in the ceremony was powerful beyond the ability for words to explain. Put simply, it has changed my life. It has begun to, and will continue to heal me as the integration continues. I see through new eyes, and feel through a new heart.
I am forever grateful to Mario, Carlina and the Sowa Nete family for what they have created, and their hearts and passion for making this available in such an intimate way. I will be back to further the journey when it is time.
With so much Gratitude,

We went and stayed with them for a personal retreat at the end of last month, and it was life changing for us both. Their attention to making the retreat full of healing and rest and beauty, even in the two short days we had to spend, truly show how much they care about their mission to help people find healing.
The lodgings were beautiful and comfortable. Their attention views were amazing. The personal chef made wonderful meals, and the breath work and massages were exactly the thing we needed.
Our ceremonies were so wonderful as well- the setting could not have been more perfect, and their expertise and experience showed through the whole time- including the before and after prep and integration.
Mario and Carolina made us feel more than welcome- they made us feel like family, and we truly look forward to coming back again. Anyone who is trying to find a good spot for a retreat, this is it. We can’t wait to return!! ❤️




We stayed in a beautiful villa with an incredible Chef and enjoyed nourishing meals at every sitting.
Our facilitator and shaman, Mario, is a wonderful human being with a beautiful heart! ✨
He dedicates his life to healing people from all walks of life! ❤️🩹
Mario gets to know you and channels the energy accordingly during ceremonies.
It was a truly amazing experience! 🙌🏻
Very blessed and very grateful!! 🤗
I have no words for this powerful experience. It was magical, so much healing, the ceremony was truly profound.
I know Caro and Marito for a while and was honestly very sceptial. But somehow I felt the call and was more than happy and grateful for this experience. I never expected such strong shamans in them. They were super professional, caring deeply, and genuinely connected to the spirit of the medicine. They held a powerful, safe space with open hearts and intention, guiding us through the journey with wisdom and love.
They really put all their love into this work, you feel just safe, fully cared and loved. Anything what you need - they will make happen for you. They are really the most loving and caring humans, shamans!
Their singing was like that of shamans and elders, carrying ancient energy that touched the soul. I was thinking before,I need to go to the Amazon, to hear and experience this.
But no! Caros chanting- wooww, you have to experience her!
The chanting, the music, the sounds was breathtaking, immersing us in waves of healing vibrations. It was clear how much dedication and care they put into every detail, making the experience truly transformative.
I am endlessly grateful and will definitely return for another ceremony. Highly recommended for anyone seeking deep healing and connection or just meet the most amazing people on earth and have a new experience in life.
Thank you so much for everything 🙏🏽
I will come back for a ceremony and see you soon ❤️
Initially, I was hesitant and even a bit scared about the Ayahuasca experience, but there was truly nothing to fear. The light and positive energy I felt throughout the ceremony were indescribable. Though I need some time to fully process it all, I can honestly say that I am incredibly happy and proud to have had this experience.
Thank you! 🙏 ♥️
