Giving back to the earth andcommunity
Honoring the roots of this work through benefit sharing, stewardship, and meaningful contribution
We believe healing is a circle - what the Earth and its people give to us, we joyfully give back
All of life is interwoven - none of us exist in isolation, and giving back is how we honor and celebrate what we've received. We live this out with the communities who hold this work: supporting the Shipibo people and their families, investing in our Costa Rican neighbors through schools, donations, and employment, and partnering with organizations in Amazon conservation and Indigenous rights. We are deeply grateful for the chance to give back - in truth, it is our highest mission and ultimate purpose.

How We Give Back
Supporting Shipibo-Konibo Women Artisans with Futuro Nativo
In the native community of San Francisco on the Ucayali River, a group of Shipibo-Konibo women set out to build something they had never had — a shared space to make and sell their work. Soltara helped fund phase 1, in collaboration with **Futuro Nativo**.
Protecting a Wildlife Corridor in the Peruvian Amazon
Soltara partnered with the **Amazon Rainforest Conservancy** on a $10,000 matching campaign to help protect a stretch of forest where jaguars, Andean bears, and tapirs still travel.
Standing With Shipibo Families After the 2025 Ucayali Floods
In early 2025, severe flooding along the Ucayali River in Peru destroyed homes in Shipibo communities, including the homes of Maestros who lead ceremonies at Soltara. Together with **homodea** and the wider Soltara community, €32,786 was raised for emergency relief. Here is what happened, and where that support went.
