About this Retreat
A lifelong student of soul science—the intersection of spirituality with every branch of knowledge—Cynthia Gomez brings together spirituality, somatics, and conscious event design to create immersive retreat experiences that support deep healing, connection, and embodied transformation. Trained in Usui Reiki, EFT/TFT, breathwork, sound bath facilitation, and mindfulness, and certified as a master life coach, Cynthia designs and produces retreats that are both energetically intentional and logistically grounded.
In fact, retreats are how The Gaia Revolution was born—emerging from her desire to create sacred, well-held spaces where people could step out of survival mode and into remembrance, regulation, and community. When she’s not facilitating workshops or sound healing, Cynthia is behind the scenes producing retreats, managing event logistics, and stewarding experiences that allow participants to truly rest, recalibrate, and reconnect.
It's Retreat Time — Let's Go!
Cynthia Schaefer is an author, herbalist, and regenerative homesteader now based in Rutherfordton, NC. A former financial advisor with 25 years of experience, she brings both practical and holistic wisdom to her teaching.

She also founded the South Florida Edible Gardening, a thriving Meetup and Facebook group (10+ years) that shares collective wisdom with thousands of food growers across Florida.
Cynthia is also the author of four nonfiction books and one novel, which you can find at bit.ly/cynthiaschaefer. She continues to promote resilient, community-based food systems and stands at the crossroads of sustainability, holistic wellness, and education.
Details of this retreat
What if aging wasn’t about decline — but about refinement, wisdom, and vitality?
Vibrant Wellness at Any Age is a nourishing, science-informed and soul-centered retreat designed to help you reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence, understand your unique energetic makeup, and adopt practical daily practices that support longevity, clarity, and joy — at any stage of life.
Over four restorative nights, you’ll be guided through mindful movement, ancient wisdom systems, modern longevity practices, experiential nutrition with all-organic ingredients, meditation, and sound healing — all in a supportive, intimate group setting.

Vibrant Wellness at Any Age is more than a restorative getaway — it is a living, breathing model for how longevity practices can be gently integrated into everyday life.
