Sacred Ohms is a platform that connects the owners of beautiful sacred properties (“Ohms”) to retreat Retreat Leaders who are seeking an energetically aligned space that is tailored to fit their desires for hosting their experience.
We provide hand-selected retreat Retreat Leaders with access to Ohms that encompass the amenities and comforts they desire while embracing environmentally friendly property management practices. We aim to offer different levels of Ohms to serve the needs of healing and spiritual gatherings and retreats. Inclusivity is at the core of the Sacred Ohms values, providing a range of properties to fit within the unique needs of each Retreat Leader. Our mission is to build a community of like-minded people who are elevating consciousness on the planet.
We discovered that finding the ideal space for a retreat was often challenging for retreat Retreat Leaders for several reasons that include but are not limited to the difficulty in finding a truly sacred location, facing unexpected responsibilities of equipping a home with the materials necessary for various wellness activities and workshops and feeling out of alignment with the home owner’s values.
Our solution is to provide a platform where retreat Retreat Leaders can connect with Ohms that are being held to the standards necessary to ensure a blissful experience.
