At Rythmia Life Advancement Center, we’ve long championed the transformative power of plant medicine in healing deep-seated emotional pain, grief, and trauma. Recently, the New York Post featured the powerful story of celebrity fashion stylist Micaela Erlanger, highlighting her life-changing experience at our center.

A Journey of Healing: Merging the Heart, Soul, and Self

Grief and trauma can shape our lives in ways that are often difficult to process, and it’s Rythmia’s mission to help guests heal from these emotional burdens by connecting with their true selves, healing their hearts, and merging with their souls. Our holistic program combines traditional plant medicine ceremonies with modern wellness practices, offering a safe and structured environment for deep personal transformation.

Micaela’s story, featured in the New York Post, is a testament to the power of our program’s unique approach. Like many of our guests, she came to Rythmia seeking relief from emotional pain. Through our proprietary combination of ayahuasca, supportive classes, and spiritual guidance, she found the clarity and healing she had been searching for.

A Safe and Supportive Environment

At Rythmia, we prioritize the safety and care of every guest. With an on-site medical team and highly trained facilitators, guests can fully immerse themselves in the healing process, knowing that they are in safe hands. 

Founder and CEO Gerard Armond Powell (Gerry) and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jeff McNairy have guided the program's design to ensure everyone feels supported throughout their journey, from the initial intake process to the post-retreat integration program, RLife.

Gerry’s personal journey of profound healing and transformation is the very foundation of Rythmia. After experiencing the life-changing effects of plant medicine firsthand, he was inspired to create a sanctuary where others could access the same deep, transformational healing. His vision for Rythmia goes far beyond being just an ayahuasca retreat—it’s about creating the leading center for plant medicine healing, built on a foundation of safety, integrity, comfort, and world-class amenities. He aims to foster a holistic and supportive environment where guests can reconnect with their true selves, release emotional burdens, and embark on a transformative journey of personal discovery. Under Gerry's visionary leadership, Rythmia has grown into a globally renowned center for healing, drawing people from all walks of life—whether celebrities, billionaires, school teachers, or retirees—all united in their readiness to experience a miracle.
