About this Retreat
Escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in a 3-night retreat in a peaceful, secluded cabin surrounded by natural beauty. Relax and enjoy the serene atmosphere while indulging in delicious meals provided throughout your stay.
Experience the healing power of a cacao ceremony, a ritualistic event that has been practiced for centuries to promote inner awakening and emotional cleansing. Participate in a psilocybin ceremony, which uses the powerful healing properties of mushrooms to help you explore and release deep-rooted emotional traumas. Also, partake in traditional Amazonian plant medicine ceremonies such as rape and sananga, which have been used by indigenous peoples for centuries to achieve a deeper connection with the natural world.
Realign your mind and body with a card reading and singing bowl meditation, which will help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. Take a hiking trip and explore the natural surroundings of the retreat, connecting with nature and the earth.
To ensure a holistic healing experience, our retreat also provides psychotherapy and integration sessions. Our team of experienced therapists and guides will help you process and integrate the insights and emotions that may arise during the retreat, helping you to leave with a renewed sense of purpose and a clearer understanding of your life’s journey.
This retreat is designed for those who want to:
– enhance their energy, focus and creativity
– develop a clear mind
– reset and restore the nervous system
– relax the mind and body
– find a deep sense of calm and wellbeing
– reconnect with nature, the ocean and a beautiful private jungle paradise
– find clarity and a renewed sense of purpose
Join us on this unforgettable journey of self-discovery and growth, and re-connection with your inner goddess.
How to Participate
At Gaia Psychotherapy and Hermanas Medicina, we believe in creating transformative and rejuvenating experiences for individuals seeking to reconnect with themselves and find solace in a serene environment. Our carefully curated retreats offer a harmonious blend of self-reflection, personal growth, and connection with like-minded individuals.
We have implemented a thorough screening process to ensure the highest quality experience for our participants. Our goal is to create a supportive and nurturing space, and we believe that selecting the right individuals plays a crucial role in achieving this.
Our screening process consists of two stages:
- Google Form Submission: We invite all interested individuals to submit a detailed Google Form, which allows us to gather basic information to identify individuals who are genuinely seeking personal growth and a harmonious retreat experience.
- One-on-One Interview Session: After reviewing the Google Forms, individuals are invited for a one-on-one interview session with one of our retreat facilitators. This intimate conversation serves as an opportunity to delve deeper into the applicant’s aspirations, challenges, and intentions for joining our retreat. It allows us to gauge the compatibility between the individual and the retreat’s offerings, ensuring a harmonious fit for all participants.
We value transparency, authenticity, and openness in our selection process. Our intention is to create a diverse and inclusive community, where individuals can feel safe to explore their inner selves and build meaningful connections with others on a similar journey.
Please note that participation in our retreats is limited, as we strive to maintain an intimate setting to foster deep connections and provide personalized attention. We encourage interested individuals to submit their Google Forms promptly to increase their chances of securing a spot in our upcoming retreat.
At Gaia Psychotherapy and Hermanas Medicina, we provide an enriching experience that nourishes the mind, body, and soul. If you are ready to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, we invite you to complete our Google Form and take the first step towards a profound and fulfilling retreat experience.
