Details of this retreat

Deep Dive Retreat: PRAISE 
Welcome to Sacred Waters Sanctuary - safe, ceremonial plant medicine community in Oregon / Washington.
At Sacred Waters Sanctuary, we hold space for you to learn how to quiet the mind, calm the nervous system, trust in your inner guidance, and find the answers to life's ultimate questions.
Pre-screened members of our congregation are invited to pray with our sacrament, which we lovingly refer to as Sacred Acacia. The experience is almost identical to an ayahuasca journey, although Sacred Acacia is made from Syrian Rue and Acacia Confusia - plants that originate in Asia.

Purpose of this retreat:
Over three days and two nights, you will have the opportunity to pray with Sacred Acacia twice, alongside meditation, mantra chanting, yoga, time to connect with nature. Our PRAISE retreats are designed to help you cultivate the following:


P – Presence: Awaken to the magic and mystery of the present moment. Let your awareness soften into now.
R – Remembrance: Reconnect with your soul’s wisdom. Receive divine insight that reminds you of who you truly are.
A – Acceptance: Embrace yourself and your life as it is. Cultivate reverence for the beauty in all things—light and shadow alike.
I – Integration: Weave the insights of the ceremony into your everyday life. Align your inner world with your outer actions.
S – Surrender: Release the need to control. Soften into trust and allow the medicine to guide you.
E – Embodiment: Anchor your healing through the body. Rebuild the connection between your mind (thoughts), body (emotions) and soul (purpose).


S – Soften: Let your nervous system unwind. In the glow of candlelight, soften the edges of stress, fear, and resistance.
O – Open: Open your heart and voice. Release old stories that silenced your truth and step into vulnerability and connection.
N – Nourish: Nourish your soul with sacred sound, gentle medicine, and the warmth of community. Let yourself be held.
G – Ground: Ground into your body and breath. Leave the mind behind and come home to presence, peace, and inner rhythm.

Beautiful, transformative, safe, loved
Sacred Waters is AMAZING. I have attended 2 of their retreats now, and they have been the most beautiful and healing experiences of my life. I felt so cared for the entire time, and was able to do some very deep work because of the safe container they created. One thing that is important for me to mention is also the loving care shown AFTER retreat. When you attend a retreat with Sacred Waters, you are then a part of a beautiful community that feels like family. I have felt so supported by them in the months since my last retreat. So eternally grateful for Sacred Waters and the worthiness and abundance I’ve found since deciding to take the leap and join my first retreat. Read More
