Christopher Shaw

Founder, Lead Facilitator, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Guide

Christopher Shaw, LCSW-S LCDC CSAT-S CPT RYT, is a spiritual visionary, retreat lead facilitator, and sacred space holder devoted to the awakening of the soul through sacred Earth medicines, ceremonies, and remembrance. As the founder of Merkaba Church, Merkaba Retreats & Lumara Social Network, he curates transformational journeys that blend ancient plant/earth medicine traditions with modern healing modalities, inviting each participant into a deeply personal encounter with truth, wholeness, and the Divine.

Christopher walks the path of sacred service—a bridge between worlds, holding space with humility, integrity, and unwavering devotion. Rooted in training with indigenous plant/earth medicine traditions and a lifelong study of mysticism, his work draws from a diverse tapestry of modalities including shamanism, kundalini yoga, sound healing, psychotherapy, meditation, and energetic integration.

His retreats are designed not just for healing—but for initiation, activation, and rebirth. Each experience is held as a sacred container where participants can safely release, realign, and remember their original essence. With a deep commitment to integrity, trauma sensitivity, and spiritual safety, Christopher ensures that every journey is supported with intention, presence, and grace.

At the heart of Merkaba Retreats is the belief that true healing happens when we return to the wisdom of the Earth and the guidance of Spirit. Through ceremony, community, and profound inner work, Christopher helps others reconnect with their own inner light and awaken their path of purpose.
