Seasonal Ayahuasca

Retreats Across the U.S.

Ceremonial Healing Rooted in the Earth’s Rhythms

Serving Colorado, Michigan, New Mexico, and California

At Gaian Rhythm, we offer immersive ayahuasca retreats across the United States, each aligned with the natural turning points of the seasons, solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days on the Wheel of the Year. Our ceremonies are rooted in Shipibo tradition, guided by an experienced trauma-informed team, and woven into the cycles of the earth and moon.

Gaian Rhythm retreats are currently held in Colorado, Michigan, New Mexico, and California, with guests joining us from across the Midwest and Four Corners region. Whether you’re called to the mountains, the forest, or the high desert, you’ll find a container of depth, integrity, and healing.

Three Ways to Walk the Path

We offer three retreat formats throughout the year, each held with equal care and intention. Each includes ceremony, integration, and sacred community, the difference is in rhythm, duration, and depth of immersion.

Weekend Circles

A 3-day ceremonial retreat held during the cross-quarter days and equinoxes. These weekends offer a powerful reset, and are often held as two back-to-back retreats. The second weekend in those sets includes the option to arrive early for “The Deepening” (see below for more info)

The Weekend Circle is designed for those who feel the call but may be navigating limited time or resources, or simply aren't ready to step away for a full week. It’s a shorter commitment, but still a deeply held space with two night ceremonies, one daytime ceremony, integration support, and the beauty of community.

A good fit for: Those seeking a powerful, focused experience within a more accessible timeframe

The Deepening

Optional Pre-Retreat Purification, Preparation and Study Week

Available only for the second weekend of a back-to-back retreat.
Guests who choose The Deepening arrive on Monday for five days of cleansing, alignment and focused inner work before the circle gathers on Friday.

This week may include traditional Shipibo purgatives, vapor baths, seasonal or esoteric workshops, IFS-based inner mapping, an opening cacao circle and much more.

A good fit for: for those who have more time to prepare for ceremony and spend time exploring healing modalities.

Private Ceremonies

For those seeking a more intimate setting, we also offer private retreats. These gatherings create a custom container, whether for individuals, couples, or small groups with ceremonies and support tailored to your needs.

“Intention” - For those attending with sincere commitment while navigating limited financial resources.

“Devotion” - For those able to meet the full cost of retreat and help sustain the container.

“Reciprocity” - For those who feel called to give more and help others access this work.

Tiered Pricing: A Path for Every Circumstance

Beginging Autumn 2025 We are offering tiered pricing for all retreats as a way to honor the diversity of financial circumstances within our community, while still sustaining the depth and integrity of the work. Each tier represents a different way of contributing to the shared experience — all are valued equally.

If none of the tiers feel accessible, you're welcome to reach out. When space allows, we offer a small number of scholarship-supported spots. You may also wish to explore a Weekend Circle retreat as a more accessible entry point, while still receiving the full medicine experience.

Full details for each pricing tier are available on every individual retreat page.

“I have been to several different retreats this by far has been the best. The facilitators make sure you are taken care of the entire time. They cook your food during the retreat. They offer weekly integration calls after retreat which is the best to have after doing ceremonies. They have changed my life and I am so grateful for all they do. If you are looking for a safe place that cares then come sit with Gaian Rhythm.”
