Becoming Your Own Healer 5-Element Reiki I & II Certification
Join Olivia and Holly, the co-leaders of Gaia Holistic Retreats, for a six-day, five-night Five Element Reiki I & II Training and Certification Retreat. This one-of-a-kind offering combines two powerful healing modalities: Traditional Chinese medicine and Mikao Usui’s Traditional Reiki.
The location for this retreat was very intentionally chosen and meditated on, in the end, we kept coming back to one place… France! With this retreat, “Becoming Your Own Healer” you will get the opportunity to explore two parts of France. We’ll begin 1 hour outside of Paris in a charming nature-filled village at a peaceful property called La Source. La Source was masterfully created around the concept of cocooning one’s energy and retreating inward. There, you will be lovingly supported and nurtured as you dive into the educational part of our program.
Our second stop will be in one of our favorite spots in Paris, Montmartre at a holistic gem called Hoy Hotel. We will culminate our time together with a curated Paris experience, celebration, certification, and closing ceremony that is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
At this highly specialized educational retreat, not only will you be fully immersed in the Mikao Usui Traditional Reiki I & II lineage, but you will also learn the fundamentals of traditional theories that form the foundation of Chinese medicine such as Qi, 5-element, and Yin-Yang.

Our First Stop,
La Source
“Where flowing lines encourage the harmonious circulation of energy, La Source has been designed to offer a haven where well-being is at the heart of every detail. Step into this haven of softness, where the renovation, guided by a holistic vision, has created a cocoon of tranquility where every element invites you to relax, recharge, and reconnect with what's essential.”____
La Source is a local destination in the south of Paris, located in a charming village in the Chalo Saint Mars region. La Source’s mission is one of nurturing your well-being and creating cocoon-like energy, so that when you emerge you are reborn, with fresh skills and a new perspective on life. The property is made up of three charming stone houses, a little haven for peace.
