APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN
A state of relaxation, pleasure, and heightened perception
Psychedelia was created to remind you of the magic that exists in our everyday reality by tapping into different states of consciousness and awareness through our instinctive wisdom, the power of sound, creative expression, connecting with nature, and activating our senses.
Our everyday existence is trippy by nature. Mother Earth, our bodies, our psyche, our creativity, our energy — it’s all cosmic and far out, but it is also REAL. It’s just a matter of shifting your perspective, being open, and trusting what you receive.
Together, we will gather in sacred sisterhood to play, dance, relax, be creative, immerse ourselves in nature, anchor into our instinctive wisdom, and learn how to integrate the practice of presence into our everyday life so that we can experience more pleasure and be the witness to the magic that is woven throughout the fabric of our existence.
A nature-based, creative retreat centered around instinctive wisdom, creative expression, connection to nature, radical presence, Community, and sound.
what to expect
“PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCES ARE CHARACTERIZED BY THE MIND BEING LIBERATED FROM ITS ORDINARY CONSTRAINTS”
This retreat is a unique experience that is designed to activate and integrate your instinctive wisdom and creative expression through connecting with nature, activating our senses, and exploring different states of consciousness and awareness through radical presence and opening ourselves up to the magic that exists in our life all the time — because the magic lies within us, and we are in control of how much we allow ourselves to see, and how much we allow ourselves to receive.
Psychedelia is a unique blend of play, devotion, music, creativity, relaxation, and presence rooted in the magic that is naturally available to us.
It is a space where you can let go, drop the masks, and invite the fullness of your being out to play.
We will howl at the moon, meditate to vinyl records, move to juicy psychedelic rock, create from our hearts, talk to nature and our higher selves, open up to being the witness, and engulf ourselves in the love that comes with embracing the full spectrum of life and the beauty of transformation.

about the location
Our Retreat Oasis is nestled in the high desert of Twentynine Palms, CA. Our sanctuary for the weekend offers us a unique space to truly hear our inner voice and tune into our home frequency. The desert is symbolic of rebirth, creating life from dust, and it deeply supports our journey inward, offering a space of renewal, growth, and personal discovery. The desert has a way of stripping you down and revealing the truth of your being, and it is also known as a place where you can experience a connection to something greater than yourself, in whatever form it comes to you.
Twentynine Palms is the gateway to the Mojave Desert, Joshua Tree National Park, and the California Outback. It is a hot spot for energetic activity, having 18 known energy vortexes, which help people find clarity, inspiration, creativity, and can promote harmony and healing. The high desert provides us with a place where we can exist in our rawest form and lean into deep introspection. It’s a space where revelations come through in whispers that weave through the wind and inspiration drips from the night sky like honey on a spoon…

Darah - THE GAIA CODES
meet your host
I’m an artist, mentor, and sacred translator devoted to creativity, freedom, personal power, primal wisdom, the earth, and the way we speak, receive, and translate information.
My work intertwines the reclamation of our primal sovereignty and fine-tuning our ability to communicate with the sacred.
I’m talking about that raw, instinctive, intuitive wisdom that we all carry and can remember as we unravel our domestication and return to our true essence :: anchoring into our inner authority and learning how to communicate and move with the threads of energy in and around us as we stay rooted in our truth and personal power.
I utilize my lived experiences and what I have been taught in formal and informal settings to create unique containers that are designed to help you shed the weight of what no longer wants to be carried by your mind, body, and heart, so that you can lean into what truly lights you up and feels authentic.
Why psychedelic rock?
When I was younger, I found the peace, freedom, acceptance, and empowerment that I had been craving among the layers of experimental sounds. Psychedelic rock became a root of mine. I noticed that it has the power to open the way for me to enter into a flow state, a creative trance, and to feel fully free in my body and my expression.
The first song I ever meditated to was Signs of Life by Pink Floyd, and it opened my heart in a way that surprised me. It heightened my awareness and put me in a state that allowed me to truly relax in my body and feel my sensations. That, in turn, allowed me to hold space for emotions that had been hiding from me but also begging for my attention, and in that moment, I was a witness to the magic that is on offer through the portals of presence and creativity, expressed by the self and by another.
Sound predates language as a form of communication, it has been with us from the start. Music is central to our evolution and is something universal that everyone has in common across all cultures. Music and sound have the power to change the structure of our internal landscape through vibration, send shivers down our spines, and create a full-bodied sensory experience.
Psychedelic rock, also known as Psychedelia, came to form on the West Coast in the mid to late 1960s, and the word Psychedelic means “mind-manifesting” — the term comes from the Greek words psychḗ meaning "soul, mind" and dēleín meaning "to manifest.”
These soundscapes have the power to provide us with profound insights, a deeper connection to our feeling body, and a way to cut loose, fully express ourselves, and feel into our wild nature, our FREEDOM.

Since we will be in the desert, be prepared for warm and cold weather. Bring shoes for hiking, and casual walking.
It will be colder in January, so prepare for that by packing layers.
Anything else needed as far as comfort for the workshops and supplies needed for the workshops, etc. are all covered by the cost of the retreat. Closer to the event I will send a full updated packing list that takes into account the projected weather for the weekend.

Yes! This is a substance-free event. The entire foundation of Psychedelia is to find the magic that exists in our reality without needing psychoactive or mind-altering substances.
There is a strict no substance (alcohol and mind-altering psychoactive substances, including plant medicine) rule. Anyone who is caught using substances on the premises will be asked to leave the retreat immediately.
If you are taking part in a micro-dosing regimen for yourself during the time of the retreat, please let me know ahead of time so we can discuss! However, full sobriety is recommended for this experience.

Not a problem!
