“I had the honour of attending a release and manifest plant medicine retreat which Gaia was co-facilitating. Not only did Gaia hold the space so incredibly, she personally supported, guided and held me in a very deep process throughout the week. She brought an unwavering presence and love to the week. Her music and voice during ceremony has stayed with me as one of the highlights. She brings a beautiful mix of surrender, vulnerability and power to her facilitation.”
