Apply for the Sanctuary Field Immersion

Thank you for considering the Sanctuary Field Immersion: six weeks on the land in Malacatos, Ecuador.

This application is long on purpose. The six weeks ask a lot: fresh juice every hour, salt-free soup twice a day, and a slow, steady rhythm, every day. Sovara'el only welcomes guests who are truly ready to follow it fully, so these questions help both of you see whether this is the right time and the right place.

Sovara'el reads every application personally. If it feels like a fit, we'll invite you to a live Zoom or Google Meet call.

It takes about 25 to 35 minutes. Fields marked * are required. Your answers are private and read only by Sovara'el. This immersion is not medical treatment and doesn't replace care from your doctors.

1. About you

The basics, so we know who you are and how to reach you.








2. Your health, in your own words

Sharing is voluntary and private. Tell us only what you're comfortable telling us. It helps Sovara'el understand where you are and whether these six weeks can hold you well. We never ask for records or test results here.


As much or as little as you like.




Include anything you take regularly. Your medical team stays at the center while you're here.

Does your doctor know you're considering a six-week stay with this daily regimen?
Mobility on the land (uneven garden paths, a few steps)
How is your energy on most days right now?



3. Your readiness and commitment

This is the heart of the application. The daily regimen is the immersion: fresh juice every hour and a salt-free sanctuary soup twice a day, every day, for six weeks. It works best for people who are ready to follow it fully, and gently. Please answer honestly. There are no wrong answers, only true ones.



Have you followed a juicing, plant-based or whole-food way of eating before?


How do you feel about fresh juice every hour and salt-free soup twice a day, every day, for six weeks?





During the stay we ask guests to set aside the following. Please tell us honestly where you are with each one.








For example: you talk it through, you push through, you quietly skip it, you look for another way.

4. Your companion

A companion is required. Every guest comes with one person who can speak for you if needed, and who learns the daily rhythm, the full juicing and soup preparation, and your care, so they can support you at home. Companion arrangements are discussed personally on the call.




Is your companion someone who can speak for you if needed?


Is your companion ready to learn and make the hourly juices and twice-daily soup, every day, for six weeks?
Where would your companion prefer to stay?


5. Life at the sanctuary

The sanctuary is a quiet, rural home on the land in Malacatos, in southern Ecuador. Here's what daily life includes, so you can feel whether it fits.

How comfortable are you living in rural Ecuador for six weeks (simple roads, local markets, Spanish spoken around you)?
Days on the land are quiet and slow. How does that feel?
The land is shared, and you may see others living and working on it. How does that feel?
Cats live on the land. Any allergies or concerns?
Sound and frequency work with Sovara'el is part of each week. You don't need any background in it. How do you feel about it?
Time outdoors on the land and in the sun
Red light and sauna are on site to use as you wish during your stay. Do you plan to use them?


6. Practical details

There are no fixed dates. Timing is set together on the call, based on what's happening at the sanctuary and in your life.


Do you and your companion have passports valid for at least six months past your travel dates?
Are you both able to travel to Ecuador (flights and airport transfers)?
The immersion is $5,000, with a $1,000 non-refundable deposit to hold your dates and the rest due 30 days before arrival. Is this within reach for you now?
Which works best for a live call with Sovara'el?



7. Agreements

Please read each one and check it to send your application.

After you send it, Sovara'el reads your answers herself. If it feels like a fit, we'll write to you by email or WhatsApp to set a live Zoom or Google Meet call with you and your companion.
