You have many choices for your Ayahuasca journey, so how do
you choose between so many? Here are some points about Gaia Sagrada that can
show you where your money goes, what our purpose is, why it is one of the
safest places on Earth to experience this, and where our true motives are.
Good karmic use of your money is very important if you want good things to
come back to you. Instead of picking a center where someone is getting rich,
consider a non-profit like Gaia Sagrada who uses proceeds to help the
Ecuadorian community around them and keeps prices AT COST as a non-profit
should.
We do not believe these sacred traditions are for making a bunch of money.
We believe these sacred traditions are coming to the awareness of Western civilization
because it is time for a big change in the world. We are here to be in service
to that.
Our karmic account is the one we care about! It is what you have done in
this world that counts on the other side.
Here at Gaia Sagrada we walk the dimensions as a way of life, so we know
full well what is truly important on Earth, and it sure isn’t money! It is all
about how many people we have been in service to in ways that have helped them
transform, thus changing the world, one person at a time.
Through
University of Metaphysical Sciences
we have helped hundreds of thousands in the world, and through Gaia Sagrada we
take people to the next level, beyond “learning” and gathering knowledge. This
is all about direct experience with spiritual worlds within. It is one thing to
learn about spiritual concepts, but a whole different thing to experience them
directly. We are in service to that.
1. AT COST, Non-Profit Prices
Another reason to choose Gaia Sagrada for experiencing your journeys in
healing is that we offer AT COST, non-profit prices. Not even the directors of
the center are paid a dime! Most people on staff are here only in trade for
housing and are not gaining financially from these sacred traditions.
Even though everything in Ecuador
costs three to four times more than Peru,
we still offer lower prices than almost every center in Peru, or even
the world for that matter. Our prices truly are at cost. If there is anything
left over, we give it to the Ecuadorian community around us in order to improve
their quality of life, like fixing their school, roads, and water systems.
2. Good Karmic Use of Your Money
If you want your money to go to a good cause, instead of making someone rich
on shamanic medicine ceremonies, Gaia Sagrada is the place to put your money to
work on something good in the world. Correct karmic use of money is very
important. Many people don’t think about where their money goes, but the
universe is keeping track of what you do with your money and what it creates in
the world! Your effect on the world will be shown to you when it is your time
to cross over. Make sure it is a shining light!
Yes, there are well recognized centers with lots of media coverage and huge
price tags for their retreats, but what do they do for the indigenous South
American community around them? Not much. For the most part they are getting
rich offering this sacred tradition to you, and that is not the best karmic use
of your money.
We use our proceeds to assist the Ecuadorian community around us, like
fixing their school, water systems, improving their roads, giving micro loans
for them to start businesses, giving jobs to the locals, and much more. If you
want your money to make a difference in South American lives, instead of going
into someone’s pocket and making them rich, Gaia Sagrada is a wise karmic
choice.
3. Shamans in Ecuador are Certified, Must Prove Training
Shamans cannot practice in Ecuador
without certification and approval by the proper agencies and the government in
Ecuador.
This is the only country in South America that
requires that shamans prove that they have done the proper training and that
they have the abilities, skills and integrity necessary to practice their trade.
In some other countries in South America, anyone can call themselves a shaman
and open up shop, whether they know what they are doing or not.
We ONLY work with certified and qualified shamans. We require our shamans to
have the proper certifications, credentials and education, which takes years
and years to attain. Our shamans are truly committed to their trade and have
done what is necessary to truly be called a shaman and do this work. If you
want to work with good shamans, Gaia Sagrada is your place!
If you look into any center in Ecuador, make sure the shamans are
certified by the shamanic organizations and registered with the government.
There are some places where shamans who are not qualified practice shamanism do
so, even in Ecuador, so make
sure you only work with an organization who has qualified shamans in Ecuador.
4. Medicine is SAFE, Traditional and PURE!
The problems that arise in some situations where someone has died or been
harmed by shamanic ceremony medicine is because untrained shamans mix in other
things that should not be in the medicine in order to make it more intense or
last longer. This is not good. The hundreds of different substances that are
sometimes mixed into the medicines are dangerous, a mystery, and they do not
tell you they are mixing other substances into the medicine.
Datura (Toe), for instance, is often mixed into non-traditional medicines
and literally can kill people, it is very toxic, and some people are even
allergic to it. Datura causes nightmaric and intense experiences. Nicotine
mixed into the medicine can be a detriment as well, especially if someone
cannot handle high doses of nicotine. These are just a couple of different
examples of what can go wrong when other things are mixed into the medicines
that should not be there. Often, Ayahuasca is blamed, but it is actually what
has been mixed into it that shouldn’t be there that is the culprit when
something goes wrong.
Here at Gaia Sagrada our shamans are under contract to only use the
traditional ingredients, and NOTHING ELSE! The Ayahuasca consists ONLY of the
vine and leaves that are meant to be in it. San Pedro medicine is ONLY the
cactus. Nothing else is mixed into the medicines. You are getting the true and
pure experience of the medicines as they were meant to be taken, no funny
business! This provides for a safe and secure experience with the medicines.
5. Modern Housing & Facilities, Comfort = Focus
For your inner journey, you might want to pick a place that has modern,
clean housing with all the creature comforts. This way you aren’t distracted
and can stay focused on what is going on within you. Most centers are pretty
rough, practically camping, don’t have electric, water is questionable, don’t
even have internet, there are mosquito and insect problems, it’s hot and humid,
and the jungle isn’t exactly quiet at night! Most centers offer communal or
shared housing, whereas Gaia Sagrada offers private rooms and even apartments
for couples.
Here at Gaia Sagrada you can focus on your inner journey and not have to
deal with physical discomfort. All facilities are modern and new, there is no
roughing it, and you can even enjoy the sauna and hot tubs for a really
luxurious experience. Treat yourself to something great for an at cost price.
It just doesn’t get any better than this!
If you want to do a jungle excursion, do it! The jungles are beautiful
natural places, so enjoy them before or after your shamanic retreat, make some
time for that. You won’t mind roughing it a little when you are focused on your
outer journey rather than your inner journey!
6. Internet Here!
You even get hi speed internet so you can stay in touch with the outside
world!
Although we don’t encourage constant internet cruising while you are here,
we want you to have the opportunity to document your experience as you go
along, keep in touch with family and friends, and let people experience
vicariously through you if you are a Facebook user or blogger.
Your friends and family will most likely be curious. This way you can share
your experiences as they unfold and you won’t miss the details!
