A SACRED CALLING BACK TO WHO YOU TRULY ARE
Welcome to Merkaba Retreats—a sanctuary of deep remembrance, sacred healing, and soul activation. Here, we do not escape life. We return to it—whole, awake, and aligned.
Each retreat is a portal—a guided journey through ceremony, community, and devotion—designed to reconnect you to your highest self, liberate what no longer serves, and empower your next soul expression.
Sacred Earth-Medicine Ceremonies
Held in reverence with Psilocybin, Bufo, and Kambo, these ceremonies open doorways to healing, truth, and multidimensional insight.
Kundalini Yoga & Holistic Healing Practices
We work with powerful somatic and energetic technologies to open the body temple, elevate the mind, and anchor the spirit.
Integration & Community
We prepare you spiritually, physically, and emotionally—then walk with you afterward as you embody your insights in real life.

Why Merkaba Retreats?
Why This Is Different
“You were never meant to live half-awake. This is your return to wholeness.”
— Guru Nityananda (channeled)
Founded by Christopher Shaw, a licensed psychotherapist, Shamanic Practitioner, and visionary healer, Merkaba Retreats is rooted in decades of personal transformation, sacred study, and clinical experience. Christopher and his co-facilitators bring both deep spiritual presence and real-world integration to every retreat.
Merkaba is a spiritual vehicle of light, and this is exactly what we offer: A soul-powered journey to liberation, embodiment, and divine remembrance.

Aeon, USA & Mexico
"For perhaps the first time in this life, I felt like I truly belonged.
Not because I had to fit in.
But because I was free to be exactly who I am. And that was enough — more than enough.
I've never felt more aligned, more soulful, more purposeful, and more abundant than I do now..." Read full version here.
