About Merkaba Retreats
Merkaba Retreats
Mission & Vision
Merkaba Retreats was born from a sacred vision: to create a transformational container where people could heal, awaken, and remember who they truly are. More than a wellness retreat, this is a soul mission. A ceremonial path. A temple space for those ready to rise. Founded by Christopher Shaw, psychotherapist, mystic, and sacred guide, Merkaba Retreats integrates ancient Earth-based healing with modern therapeutic insight. Each retreat is an alchemical blend of plant & earth medicine, kundalini yoga, breathwork, sound healing, and sacred ritual, held in the safety of loving community. Whether you are healing trauma, awakening spiritually, navigating a life transition, or answering an inner call you can no longer ignore—this is your portal. Your prayer. Your path back to the center
