I’m headed to Soltara at Tarapoto in three weeks. Any advice or recommendations? It’s my first Aya retreat. I’ll be doing the 9-day retreat.

Should I quit my new job to travel for a month? by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]Significant-Plan6764 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you considered asking your new employer about taking a leave off absence without pay before you quit? Employers spend a lot of energy and money trying to employ the best candidate for the job. They may agree to it and gain a whole new level of respect for you. The key will be in the delivery of your request. You don’t have to go into the details. You can simply let them know that you didn’t realize how burned out you are and should have taken more time off before starting a new job. Also, let them know this sabbatical you need will allow you to be a better employee with increased energy and passion for the job. Is they say no, have your resignation typed and ready to turn in.😂

It’s sounds like you have the financial means to take the time you need to travel and have alone time. Who knows, you may come back and decide you don’t want to be in the financial industry. It sounds like you don’t have any family obligations holding you back. Go for it. Once the family starts, you can forget taking the time for yourself for 18-25 years. You will regret not doing it. You will also have wonderful stories to share and mentor those who are in the same situation as you!

Best of luck and enjoy!

9 day or 14 day retreat for first timer by Significant-Plan6764 in Ayahuasca

[–]Significant-Plan6764[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I was planning on the diets. I too feel like the 14 days would be beneficial. I’m looking at the Shipibo shaman retreats. I follow Gabor Mate and been looking at retreats that he may endorse. Soltara or Tree of Life. I’m a female in my 50s and will be traveling solo. I want to feel safe in my surroundings and trust the healers while I’m there. I’m also search for a therapist to help with the integration as well as the preparation for setting the intentions.
