PARTICIPANTS
You have everything you were told to want…
and still feel like something is missing.
From the outside, your life works.
The career. The relationships. The responsibilities.
You’ve built something meaningful.
And still, there are moments
where a quieter voice rises.
Not loud. Not urgent. Just present.
“Is this all there is?”
A gentle awareness that there may be another way to move.
A different pace. A deeper connection.
Not because anything is broken.
But because something within you is ready to be met.
This is an invitation to slow down enough to hear it.
To move at the pace of your most honest parts.
To allow what has been waiting beneath the surface to come forward.
This is not a vacation.
This is a return.
You are invited into a guided, intentional ceremony designed for reconnection with your body, your inner voice, and your truth.
This is not something you attend casually.
It is something you enter when you feel ready.
A collaborative journey.
A space where you are never pushed, only invited.
You go as far as you feel called.
Wide Open was created for
people like you.
The High Achiever Who Feels Empty
You’ve built a life that works. And you’re beginning to notice a deeper signal within you calling for something more aligned, more honest, more you.
The Leader Who Holds Everything Together
You hold space for others every day. This is an invitation to step into a space where you are held without expectation, without performance.
The One Who Needs Rest
You’ve been carrying more than most people realize. This is a space to soften, to breathe, and to reconnect with ease
without needing to explain why.
The One Who Feels the Call to More
Your life is good. And still, something in you is asking to go deeper. This is where you begin to listen.
Seven days of guided ceremony, inviting your truest self forward
This is beyond surface-level self-development.
This is a guided process designed to help you:
reconnect with what you’ve been disconnected from
feel what you’ve been carrying
move out of patterns that no longer serve you
Each day is intentionally structured. You are not left to figure this out on your own.
You are guided — step by step — through a process designed to support real internal work.
We release the performative and allow the transformative.
Guided Emotional Work
Facilitated sessions designed to help you safely access, process, and move through what’s been held beneath the surface.
Somatic & Breathwork Practices
Body-based practices that reconnect you to sensation, presence, and your internal signals.
Integration & Community
Time and space to reflect, integrate, and be supported — without pressure to perform or be anything other than where you are.
Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
Salvatierra — where the Earth does half the work.
A regenerative sanctuary where your presence supports the preservation of the Nicoya jungle. Every structure is an echo of the land, utilizing solar-harvested energy and mineral-rich local water.
This environment doesn’t distract you from your life. It helps you see it more clearly — without the noise.
The Science of the Land
The Nicoya Peninsula is one of only five Blue Zones on Earth.
The mineral-rich water and high solar exposure create a biological environment that your nervous system recognizes as anciently safe.
The land does half the work before the experience begins.
Seven days. A threshold.
This ceremony is designed as a rite of passage — a movement from one way of being into another.
Meet the people who will
hold this container.
Rama
SomatiC cREATOR & LEAD PRACTITIONER - TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOLOGY SCHOLAR
Rama serves as a vessel for the Wide Open Immersion Series, a global vision dedicated to bringing transformative ceremonies to the world's most vibrant centers of longevity. In his role as a steward of this transformative journey, he acts as a bridge between ancient traditions and the modern seeker, ensuring each destination—such as Costa Rica's focus on the sacred practice of Kambô—is held with deep integrity, equity, and inclusion.
His path is guided by the Traditional Amazonian wisdom he received while walking alongside respected indigenous masters from the Shipibo-Conibo and Quechua-Lamista lineages. Rather than claiming authority, Rama views his academic and clinical training—including his work as a MAPS MDMA-assisted Training graduate and his current Ph.D. candidacy in Transpersonal Psychology—as the essential grounding that allows him to hold safe, expansive containers for others.
Rama's intent is to walk alongside others as they awaken to their highest potential, acting as a humble conduit for the healing wisdom of Pachamama.

Dr. Sonatta Camara is the founder of Temple Mother Earth and the creator of Wide Open — because she didn’t just study this work, she lived it.

She knows what it feels like to sit in that seat — and that’s exactly why she knows how to support you through it. She founded Temple Mother Earth during COVID because she knew: if the world was closing its doors, someone needed to open one. She’s been holding that door wide open ever since.

Still thinking it over?
Am I ready for this?
If you are feeling the pull to slow down and reconnect, you are ready. You do not need to have everything figured out before you arrive—that is exactly what this container is for.
How intense is the emotional work?
We move at the speed of safety. While we explore deep emotional and somatic spaces, you are always in choice. There is no forced vulnerability, only an invitation to go as far as you feel called.
What is the time commitment?
Beyond the seven days in Costa Rica, we ask for your presence in a preparatory session beforehand and an integration circle afterward. The truest commitment, however, is simply to yourself and the space you allow for this process.
How do I know if this is the right fit?
This immersion is for those who feel successful on the outside but disconnected on the inside. If you are seeking a casual vacation to numb out, this isn't it. If you are seeking a return to your truest self, you belong here.
If you feel it,
don’t ignore it.
You don’t need certainty to take the next step.
You only need to recognize that something in you is ready.
