Why ZÁRIA
They process hundreds. We hold twenty.
Twenty people. Never more.
Every guest is personally screened by the facilitators themselves. Small numbers are what make deep work safe — physically, energetically, and spiritually.
Integration is the work
Led by Danielle Brooks — author and integration specialist with more than 6,000 client hours. Preparation begins a full month before you arrive, and the work continues after you leave.
A Maestro who lives here
Ceremonial space held by Tomás “Shamas” García, trained for years with the Shipibo people of the Peruvian Amazon — and he lives on this land full-time. Ceremony is not an event we schedule. It is the life of the property.
Closer than you think
The closest sacred-healing destination to the US East Coast. Direct flights into Santo Domingo (SDQ) — we handle everything from there.
The Maestro
Ceremony is the life of this land
Tomás “Shamas” García trained for years with the Shipibo people of the Peruvian Amazon — the songs, the discipline, and the lineage that shape how ceremony is held.
He lives at ZÁRIA full-time. The container you enter is not one he visits — it is one he lives in, tends, and prays in every day. That is the difference you feel the moment you sit down.
Sit With Us
The Founders
Built by a family, not a brand
Revan & Azaya Vega · Co-Founders
Revan and Azaya left two decades of building businesses in Arizona to raise their family on this land — and to build the sanctuary they couldn’t find anywhere else.
Hosts of the ThriveHive Show, they have spent years in deep personal work within sacred medicine traditions across the Americas. Every circle held here is one they sit in themselves — every guest personally screened, every arrival personally welcomed, every departure a beginning they stay part of.

“
They practice what they preach and live a life of freedom and growth as examples to all. Revan's leadership and Azaya's powerful love are combined and I've become a new person through my involvement with them. The last retreat transformed my life.
