Take your community on a personalized retreat. Gaia runs the whole week.

You design the experience. Gaia talks to each of your people, plans their days and runs it at a house in Costa Rica. You set the price and keep the difference.

Design your first week See how it works

30 guests at $5,000 = $45,000 for you, in one week.

A real retreat at this house

You've always known what a week with you could do for people.

Your practices, your years of work, and people who'd follow you anywhere.

Bringing them together was the hard part.

Six jobs that have nothing to do with what you're great at.

Now it's you and Gaia.

Gaia takes every one of them: the venue, the people, the money and every detail in between.

All that's left is the part you love.

Your people, together, for a week they'll never forget.

How it works

You design it. Gaia does everything else.

Your practices, your creativity, your community. Gaia turns them into a week for each person, and runs it.

You design the experience.

Tell Gaia your practices: your morning ritual, your breathwork arc, your closing ceremony. It turns them into seven days, puts each one in the right place at the house, and lets you watch the week before it happens.

Gaia gets to know each of your people.

Before they book, it talks with each one: what they eat, how they sleep, what they're carrying, what they want to leave with, what they'd love to try.

Each one gets their own week.

Thirty people, thirty weeks, one retreat. Their app holds their plan and a short personal podcast that gets them ready. They meet the people they'll travel with before they land, choose their activities, or suggest one of their own.

When they land, it's already running.

Pickups, rooms, a chef who knows every diet, small groups at the right times, a nudge before each session. You hold the space.

How do you usually sleep?

Badly, honestly. Light sleeper.

I'll give you a quiet room away from the deck. What do you want to leave with?

To stop running on empty.

Anything your body needs us to know?

Bad knee. And I'm vegan.

Got it. Gentler sessions, no surf. Would you like horses on the beach instead?

Yes!

Have you done breathwork before?

Never. A bit nervous.

You'll start gently, and I'll pair you with two others new to it. Anything you'd love to try?

Swimming at sunrise.
