Becoming Your Own Healer 5-Element Reiki I & II Intensive
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. This one-of-a-kind offering combines two powerful healing modalities: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Mikao Usui’s Traditional Reiki. After the weeklong intensive, you will graduate with a certificate that allows you to practice your newly cultivated skills right away.
The location for this training was intentionally chosen as we wanted the launch of our special training program to be 'just right'. Thus, throughout the program, you will have 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 will become your school for the week. There, you will be lovingly supported and nurtured as you dive into the educational part of our program. This is where all of the workshops, practice time, and lectures will take place.
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 training, 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.
In addition, you will have daily practice time with your peers, grounding and centering exercises such as Qigong, Yoga, and meditation, and enjoy unique classes that are woven into the curriculum with a local wine expert and tarot master.

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.
