ABOUT EDEN

 The Sacred House of Eden is a non-profit Visionary Temple founded in 2018 in the beautiful state of Colorado.  The founders of Eden bring with them over 20 years of experience and feel deeply honored to do this sacred work.  Our Temple works with 4 different medicine blends, and we are the only Retreat of our kind in the United States. 

At the helm of our team is Dr. Stefanie, a Doctor of Psychology who has conducted over 1600 individual plant medicine ceremonies and integrations. Her approach is a non-pathologizing, psycho-spiritual orientation that fosters a sacred synergy with our medicines.  

At the heart of our dedicated team stands co-founder Doug Moe, a deeply trusted shamanic medicine man, alongside a collective of breathwork practitioners, meditation guides, yoga mentors, sound healers, and compassionate caregivers united in service to humanity.

Within the sanctum of Eden, we harmonize the realms of science and spirituality, weaving together modern scientific insights with ancient wisdom to craft an immersive and profoundly transformative experience.  At the intersection of these seemingly distinct worlds, we find an alchemy that enriches our understanding of the universe, the divine, and our true Self.  Drawing on the wisdom of ancient traditions and cutting-edge research, we provide a holistic approach to personal growth, healing, and spiritual exploration. It is our mission to bridge the gap between the tangible and the intangible, the seen and the unseen, the doing and the being, and to offer a comprehensive and integrated perspective on the interconnectedness of all existence.

Through our meticulously curated retreats, we extend an invitation to embark on a soul-stirring journey of self-discovery and empowerment, honoring both the rational mind and the intuitive heart. Whether you seek to deepen your spiritual practice, cultivate inner peace, or explore the boundless tapestry of existence, we stand ready to accompany you on this sacred path of transformation and renewal.

Experience a transformative journey with us where remuneration covers comprehensive services including preparation, IFS-informed coaching, after-care, and luxurious all-inclusive lodging and meals. We do not charge for our sacraments.  Inquire about our exclusive Hero Rates tailored for military personnel, veterans, and first responders.

Join us as we delve into the profound connections between science and spirituality, uncovering the beauty and wonder that emerge when these two realms come together. Together, let us explore the infinite possibilities that arise when we embrace the union of the scientific and the sacred.

Take a moment to immerse yourself in the heartfelt narratives on our Testimonials page. Allow our esteemed guests to share their experiences, for their voices resonate as the most authentic testament to the profound impact of our journey together.

It is a true blessing to witness the expansion of this work and to see the medicines becoming more accessible and available. We whole-heartedly believe in the healing power of these medicines when facilitated safely, ethically, competently, and combined with psycho-spiritual coaching or therapy. Eden was established in 2018, and as stewards in the plant medicine space for many years, we have seen a lot. It is with a sense of responsibility, that we feel compelled to make mention of some of what we are seeing as it relates to individuals wanting to sit safely with the medicines in retreat.

Surely there are practitioners who are doing this work with pure intention, reverence for the medicine, and the appropriate skill sets and mastery required to hold safe space for deep and vulnerable work. It is imperative that the utmost care for guests' safety and respect for the intimacy of the sacred journey is honored. To those practicing with this level of integrity and training, we say "thank you."  There are, however, many who are not practicing with pure intention, deep reverence, safety, nor ethical responsibility. Almost weekly, we are seeing retreat centers pop up overnight. These centers unfortunately are often led by individuals with little to no psychological education, no medical background, and a lack of competence that is vital for ethical and safe facilitation. 

This is deep work and safety in every sense (physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual) is vital.  Choosing where you go for facilitation is a personal and essential decision. With this in mind, we believe it is important for you to know...

WHAT TRULY SETS EDEN APART:

• We keep the number of guests in any given Retreat under 10. It is not our practice to pack in dozens of participants. Instead, we have intentionally chosen to take a very bespoke, customized, and intimate approach which allows each guest to dive into their own unique inner world with care, guidance, and individualized support.  
• It is our highly personalized approach that allows us to provide you with the attention an experience like this deserves and to consistently see life-changing results. 
• Our ratio of guest to staff (3:1) is unheard of. You will feel taken care of and you will know that you are safe. 
• Our team is led by a Doctor of Psychology with over 20 years of experience. We do this work with deep reverence, tremendous responsibility, unparalleled compassion, and safety #1.
• Our team is deeply devoted to our own personal work and it shows. We do not stack Retreats back-to-back. We do not take a turn & burn approach to Retreats with a revolving door of participants. Instead, we take time in between Retreats to do our own introspection, reflection, and integration so that we can hold truly honorable and safe space for you. 
• Our team is comprised of doctors, nurses, plant medicine healers, meditation teachers, yoga teachers, sound healers, and breathwork guides. We only hire individuals who have been through at least one Eden Retreat with us. This is so every member of our team truly knows where you are at and can meet you with profound authenticity.
• We honor confidentiality. You will not see us parading your photos around on social media. This is why we have been the top choice for Fortune 500 CEOs, political figures, celebrities, lawyers, doctors, professional athletes, combat vets, SWAT members, Navy SEALs, and all persons who value privacy and discretion. 
• We closely follow the science and the most current research.  Our protocols are deeply informed by the protocols used at Johns Hopkins, NYU, and Imperial College of London.  
• Our Pre-Retreat preparation is unmatched. Most guests report experiencing powerful transformation before they even arrive for their in-person Retreat.  The Pre-Retreat preparation sessions are powerful, enlightening, and healing.
• We have over 350  5-star testimonials and have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, NPR, The Guardian, and several more reputable outlets.
• Once an Eden Member, always an Eden Member. You are joining a community of kindred souls. We stay connected through ongoing conversation, events, and community support. 

If you choose to come to us for Retreat, wonderful - we would love to have you! If you choose to go elsewhere, please trust your instincts, allow your inner knowing to guide you, and have a blessed journey.
