As of now, when we do any retreats in the United States, we use airbnb to book the best facility for our participants' needs. Please check our calendar for any upcoming U.S. retreats.

We always choose an airbnb facility with a heavy connection to nature, so that we can still use the Earth for grounding and energy work. It's important that our airbnb be private enough for participant's self expression and journey, while also having a nearby hospital for safety.

For U.S. retreats, we offer lodging options to fit your needs, including private rooms and shared rooms. We make sure our airbnbs have accommodations that are designed to provide comfort and tranquility. Lastly, retreats in the U.S. also include healthy, home cooked vegan meals.
The safety of participants and staff is the number one concern at Shamanic Way of Light Aya Church. It is vital that everyone at our facilities feel safe, comfortable, and open to the experience. Our staff have been thoroughly trained in both physical and mental safety measures to ensure a beautiful journey for each individual. We also have a counselor available if needed.
Precautions have been made at our retreat facilities to ensure that each premises is safe and secure. No weapons, drugs, or alcohol are allowed to enter our facilities. We do not allow participants to bring anything that may be a danger or distraction to others during the retreat process.
The location of our facilities are both breathtaking and conveniently located near hospitals for worst case scenario. While we have never needed to utilize these hospitals for a participant, we make it an option to guarantee the safest experience possible. We pride ourselves on being ready for any possibility to give you peace of mind.

All Aya ceremonies take place outside, in Mother Nature around the fire pit. After the ceremonies are completed, you are free to go back to your either personal or shared sleeping quarters and/or enjoy all amenities that we offer.
THE FOLLOWING ARE PROHIBITED AT ALL OF OUR FACILITIES:
IF A PARTICIPANT INDULGES IN ANYTHING FOUND ON THE PROHIBITED LIST, THEY WILL BE ESCORTED OFF OF THE PREMISES.
