Gaia = Mother Nature, Mother Earth — Sagrada = Sacred

Why The Name Gaia Sagrada For This Ayahuasca Retreat Center?

Gaia is a very old name for Mother Earth, or Mother Nature. In Greek mythology she birthed many of the major Gods who ruled over different sections of the Earth. Gaia is known as the nurturer, sustainer and giver of love to all who come to the goddess for support. She is known as the spirit of the Earth, plants, rocks and water and when you are blessed with darshan from nature, it is Gaia blessing you.

Gaia Sagrada is the perfect name for our ayahuasca retreat center and eco-community (eco-village) because we strive to be one with Mother Nature and  live harmoniously on the Earth, which is a sacred being. It is also the perfect name because this is an ayahuasca retreat center of support and nurturing amidst natural beauty near Cuenca, Ecuador.

The Perfect Place For an Ayahuasca Retreat Center & Community

Cuenca, Ecuador was picked because of its low expenses, safety, ease of entry for visitors (no shots or visas required, only your passport), and also for its gorgeous, magical, and natural settings. It is a perfect place for an ayahuasca retreat center, mosquito free too! Ecuadorian people are  very friendly and helpful, “muy tranquilo!”

Gaia Sagrada Ayahuasca Retreat Center is nestled in a small community called Llayzhatan (Yay-zat-an) in the Andes Mountains, very close to Jadan (Ha-dan) which means “Close to Heaven.” What a perfect place for ayahuasca retreats and exploring ayahuasca retreats and san pedro retreats with authentic Ecuadorian shamans! Ayahuasca in Ecuador is quickly becoming a new destination for ayahausca retreats in South America.

While we host various spiritual retreats, spirituality at Gaia Sagrada Ayahuasca Retreat Center is varied and we honor all paths. You are not required to adhere to any specific religious or spiritual beliefs. You are able to be yourself! Ayahuasca retreats are open to all religions, the Ecuadorian ayahuasca shamans and Ecuadorian san pedro shamans speak both English and Spanish, which is very rare at an Ayahuasca retreat center in Ecuador or even Peru. The san pedro shaman speaks English and Spanish as well. Speak directly to the ayahuasca shamans and san pedro shamans in your own language (if it is English or Spanish).
