Seraphaya LGBTQ Week
With Lauren Pounds, Susie Rokosch and Ben Heimann
June 1 - 7, 2026
Seraphaya is a sacred container for transformation, self-discovery, and connection. Designed to nurture your body, mind, and spirit, this intimate gathering offers an opportunity to step away from the distractions of daily life and reconnect with your inner truth. This specific week will kick off June with a safe container for our LGBTQ friends and allies to come together in healing and celebration.
Throughout the week, you’ll experience three deeply transformative Ayahuasca ceremonies, guided by experienced facilitators and medical staff in a safe and supportive environment. Restorative practices such as yoga, breathwork and sound are at the heart of the retreat to help you build steady, daily devotional practices.
To support your integration process, this retreat includes one full year of membership. In this membership you will have access to daily devotional offerings online. As well as group integration calls. These spaces are designed to help you process your experiences and create actionable insights that align with your personal journey.
Ample time is provided for relaxation and reflection, allowing you to connect with fellow participants, embrace the insights that arise, and integrate them meaningfully. The weekend concludes with shared moments of connection, leaving you with tools and inspiration for continued growth.
This is an invitation to explore your inner world, deepen your spiritual healing, and foster meaningful connections with yourself, others, and the natural world.
