We believe each person has a special connection with the master within, this part of Goself, Source, All That Is, Great Spirit, or whatever anyone wants to call the deeper eternal, creator presence that we are all part of. These retreats help put a person in touch with the wiser part of themselves that has all the answers they are looking for. The medicines help each person make this connection and learn how to get the answers from within.

Gaia Sagrada Ayahuasca Retreat is a beautiful community of loving people here to help you with your adventure in consciousness. We do not ‘sprinkle in’ Western psychology and medicine, but rather we honor and support the ancient tradition as was intended. Gaia Sagrada is the real thing, so if you want to experience authentic and ancient ceremonies the way the shamans present them for thousands of years, without the interference of Western influence, please get in touch today.

Gaia Sagrada Ayahuasca Retreat is unique because it is a non-profit and charges prices as close to expenses as possible, making the prices reachable by people of all budgets, including those who don’t have a lot of money. The directors and staff work for Ecuadorian minimum wage while the shamans make the most money at Gaia Sagrada, as we serve these ancient traditions.

Gaia Sagrada is a little heaven on Earth. While people dive deep into the universe within themselves here at Gaia Sagrada, the modern comforts of the Western world are there to make the journey comfortable. We do not have medical doctors or psychologists here. The hospital is a short distance away if anyone needs that, and there are plenty of people to talk with if you have emotional or mental challenges with the medicine.

We were the first Ayahuasca retreat in Ecuador, and our many years of experience have made us good at what we do. We’ve seen it all and know how to handle anything and everything that can happen. Gaia Sagrada has set the standard in the industry for safety first, and medicine second. We are here to help you most compassionately and intelligently! We know what we’re doing with more than a decade of experience.

Our Processes

Substance sourcing

  • We are starting a San Pedro cactus sanctuary and have a lot of it growing here at Gaia Sagrada, as these mountains are San Pedro’s natural habitat.
  • The Ayahuasca shamans only get Ayahuasca from those who continuously replant Ayahuasca.
  • Sustainable habits with the medicines are very important. Ayahuasca is getting more and more sparse.

Preparation

We send them some guidelines about what to bring, what to eat for a couple weeks before they come, we assess their medications and which should be continued and which to be discontinued, and we give some pointers for them on how to think about their intentions before they come and what they hope to gain. We also encourage them to begin the practice of meditation if they can, so they can focus better while being with the medicines here.

Integration

  • When guests leave they have a Whatsapp group and they keep in touch with each other. These groups are still going years later! We give some printed guidelines on how to continue their transformation, and advise that they seek a specialized integration specialist if they need one, but most don’t need one.
  • We truly help them take responsibility for their lives and understand it is simply about self discipline, taking action on what they learned during the ceremonies, and working on negative programming that is discovered under all the unhealthy coping modalities used to deal with situations.
  • People leave here very self empowered and confident in their ability to face their lives again and handle it differently. They support each other in their online groups with zoom calls, regional get togethers, etc. Some life long friendships are made!

How do you calculate dosage of plant medicine and substances?

We let the person decide how much they want or need. The shamans are very generous with the medicine. Most people only need one or two shots, as the medicine is very concentrated, but if someone needs a 3rd or 4th, which is rare, all shamans share it freely. We want to make sure the participant gets the experience they came for, no matter what!

What is not included in the cost of your services?

Airline flights, extra ceremonies for those who want to get more, day trip to the city (about $30-50)
