Our Story

A Message From Victor & Aaron

In 2020 we ran our first retreat here in Costa Rica. The “vid” had just hit the world stage and even though we experienced tremendous difficulty putting it on, we felt a strong intuition to do so.

It was sloppy! We were in fact LATE for our own retreat! We got lost on the way from the airport! Despite our logistical lessons… the retreat was absolutely MAGICAL, DIVINE, LIFE CHANGING!

Come to find, “the medicine” was running the show all along! All we had to do was get out of the way and let her do her thing.

All of us, the hosts included, experienced an indescribable life changing transformation that week.

Since that time we have run a total of 9 of these retreats and are proud to say we’ve taken about 300 people through this unique transformation process.

We truly believe that we are changing the world with these retreats and also understand we are but a small part of them.

We are the connectors and hosts, but the shamans and the plants, and of course… YOU are the real heroes. It’s a collaboration between all of us and I think that is what makes it so special.

There are many places to drink ayahuasca these days, but what we try to do differently is focus on creating the safest container possible. This medicine is extraordinarily powerful and in the wrong hands it can do much more harm than good, and unfortunately we have seen a lot of that.

So we have brought together the absolute best, most experienced, humble, talented, purpose aligned shamans we could find. We have found a VERY private, high vibe, and gorgeous space to drink, literally surrounded by nature and mountain / ocean views. And we have a very meticulous vetting process where we don’t just allow anyone that wants to come, come. We interview each and every person to ensure the space is filled with serious, mature, and aligned participants.

We also put in place many opportunities for integration including regular group integration sessions, yoga, and somatic breath work. We aim to help people have a very deep but balanced & smooth transformation experience.

Aaron, Pattie, and I have our own businesses so we do not rely on this to earn a living which allows us to not feel tempted to cut corners in any way and we can honestly say that we do this because we feel called to do it, we do it because we LOVE it, we do it because we have been put in a position to gather all of the necessary components to share this amazing and life changing medicine with the world.

If this resonates with you... and there's a part of you that feels like you need to be there...

  • Aaron Doughty

    CO-HOST

    Aaron drank for the first time in 2017 and had a life changing experience where he got a “taste” of what unconditional love truly feels like. It scared him a bit! It was quite intense! Also he received the message that THAT is where humanity is heading, and right now is a time of cleansing. Needless to say Aaron was blown away and on that very day developed a genuine passion for the medicine.

  • Victor Oddo

    CO-HOST

    Victor also drank for the first time back in 2017, with Aaron actually. He received a very clear and difficult to swallow realization about how he was parenting his middle son. He saw a haunting vision of himself yelling at him and was able to see and feel the emotional reaction of Luke. It was a hard lesson but stuck with him and Victor never once did it again! Once he saw how much, and how quickly, ayahuasca helped him become a better father he too was sold!

  • Pattie

    CO-HOST

    Pattie received a clear message from ayahuasca her very first sit. She, the medicine said, “you are to be one of my vessels.” Pattie had no idea what that meant at the time but now she is working with the medicine in a very unique way and offers a very much needed service. Pattie is now our “bridge” she is the first person from Soulina guests connect with and she makes sure the person is ready to partake, helps them understand and feel comfortable, and is there to support during the entire retreat. Pattie is an integral part of Soulina and one of the reasons it’s so powerful AND safe.
