Retreat Highlights
- Sacred Earth Medicines: We work with Psilocybin, Bufo, and Kambo in ceremonial settings guided by experienced facilitators. Each medicine is honored with deep prayer, intention, and energetic protection. These ceremonies are not for thrill-seeking—they are for truth-seeking.
- Rituals & Ceremonies: Sweat lodge (temazcal), sacred fire ceremonies, daily altar practice, intention setting, and deep integration are woven throughout. Ritual is the language of the soul—and it lives at the center of our work.
- Energetic & Somatic Practices: Kundalini yoga for all levels, breathwork, mantra, sound healing, and embodiment practices help you prepare for ceremony, move energy, and integrate insights in real time. These are potent tools that stay with you long after the retreat ends.
- Clean, Conscious Nourishment: We serve beautiful, plant-based and pescatarian meals prepared with love and intention. Meals support the cleansing, visioning, and grounding needed for your process. Dietary needs and preferences are honored.
- Small Groups, Deep Connection: Each retreat is intentionally intimate—usually 1-6 participants. This allows for personalized support, authentic connection, and a depth of trust that accelerates healing.
About this Retreat
Your Guides
Aeon Archer is a transformational guide whose journey through the depths of trauma, addiction, and recovery has become the sacred fire that fuels his life’s work. A devoted student of the soul and a living testament to healing, Aeon brings a deeply grounded presence to the Merkaba Retreats — one forged through his own path of radical self-remembrance and spiritual awakening.
From the ashes of struggle, Aeon emerged as a multidimensional practitioner, integrating ancient wisdom and modern healing modalities to support others in reclaiming their wholeness. He is a certified Yoga Instructor, Reiki Master, Hypnotherapist, and Spiritual Wellness Coach, weaving these disciplines together with a deeply intuitive and heart-centered approach.
His work is rooted in the sacred arts of integrated healing and shamanic practice, using breath, movement, meditation, sound, and guided journeying to open portals of transformation. Aeon holds space with reverence, compassion, and integrity — inviting participants to drop beneath the noise, reconnect with their essence, and remember why they came.
A gifted artist and channel, Aeon also uses creative expression as a healing tool, guiding others to transmute pain into power and purpose through sacred art and storytelling.
Above all, Aeon serves as a bridge — between shadow and light, body and spirit, wound and wisdom. His presence in the retreat space is both grounding and activating, helping others remember that the medicine they seek is already within the
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.
