Gaia sagrada saved my life.
A mother to twin teenage girls and a four year old son, I was the lowest I have ever been. Everything to be grateful for, but my light had been dimmed to the point that I didn’t want to go on. I lost my power through years of childhood abuse and neglect, 19 year law enforcement career and sexual assault. I was drinking myself to death and there was nothing that was going to stop me. No therapy, no prescriptions, no circle of support could shine a light.
I had never experienced any type of plant medicine retreat or any healing through shamanism. I had heard from a friend about a retreat but when I looked into it, it wasn’t my cup of tea. It was commercialized, celebrity endorsed, expensive and bougie. That was the last thing I needed. I kept on my search and stumbled upon Gaia Sagrada. As I read through the site, I could feel it in my gut that this was where I needed to go. I thank the Universe and the spirits that guided me to Gaia Sagrada, Christine and her extraordinary team.
I am integrating what was shown to me. I am loving myself and all versions of me, throughout my life. I am loving others. I am practicing gratefulness and compassion. I know that we are all family, we are one.
I hope that I can reach souls with this review. I am a being who was lost beyond recognition. I am not well off, but money does not matter. I went solo. If you need help, do this for yourself. You are worthy. When I returned, I sent my husband. There are no words to describe how transformative this beautiful place is.
I felt safe. I found love. I connected with souls. I owe it all to Christine for opening her home and her heart. Thank you with all of my love and my whole heart. I send you positive energy and love for your journey of recovery.

7 day retreat
I just finished my 7 day retreat with Gaia Sagrada and wow, what a wonderful experience. The whole trip was beautifully thought out and I felt very secure and safe. The facility is gorgeous, equipped with hot tubs, steam room, plenty of places to roam, lots of day time activities including yoga, chakra classes, breath work etc. The medicine ceremonies with the shamans were incredibly heart-centered and supportive. The price for this retreat was great! The volunteers were properly trained and I felt safe, even through the hardest parts of ceremony. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

One of the best experiences of my life!
This was more than I could have ever hoped for. Every single person in the group that stayed for the duration of the retreat had a profound experience that deeply changed and helped them! I loved my time at Gaia! I felt safe in all of the ceremonies, the community feeling that was forged was amazing and so helpful in the healing process, the food was fantastic and the facilities were very nice! They have created something truly amazing here and I would recommend it to anyone who is seeking to find themselves or heal past trauma and finally become the person they’ve always wanted to be.

Life-Changing Retreat and People
My experience at Gaia Sagrada was incredible from start to finish. The team worked tirelessly to make sure we had everything we needed and felt safe and comfortable before, during, and after our retreat.
I was particularly impressed by the quality and detail of information shared before the retreat on how to prepare for the ceremonies (diet, activities, pineal gland decalcification, etc). I also very much appreciated the extra services and activities available on site including shamanic cleansing, massage, yoga, breathwork, music, shamanic tradition information sessions, and more.
The integration sessions were a real highlight and were indispensable to my understanding of my experiences with the medicine and bringing the retreat guests together as a family.
An immense amount of thought, work, and love has been put into this place, and it shows.
Last but not least, the setting and the facilities are beyond beautiful. This is surely a special place and I am looking forward to returning.
