Costa Tropical · Southern Spain · Since 2018
LET'S RECONNECT!
Come home to yourself.
TrustGaia is a nature-led wellness sanctuary on Costa Tropical. Retreats, ceremonies, workshops and natural products for people ready to reconnect — with themselves, with nature, and with each other.
Let's reconnect… with nature.
A quiet place, and a real one.
Our founder Patrick's journey began with a life-changing trip through Peru in 2017. Returning to Spain, he deepened his understanding of retreat facilitation while continuing to study traditional Amazonian plant medicine and indigenous healing traditions. In 2018 he founded TrustGaia, initially as a webshop, before expanding into retreats at partner venues across the Málaga province from 2020 onwards. In 2022 he travelled back to the Peruvian Amazon to continue his studies, this time living and learning with the Shipibo Tribe in the rainforest. In 2025, Finca TrustGaia became the permanent home of TrustGaia Retreats on Costa Tropical, set on a peaceful hillside overlooking the Mediterranean. Today it features an authentic Mongolian yurt, a yoga platform, eco toilets, a nature shower and peaceful chillout areas, with tipis and geodesic domes soon to follow.

Experiences
Not everyone comes for a full retreat. TrustGaia also holds shorter experiences on Costa Tropical, ready to reconnect with breath, body and stillness — days and half-days for locals, day visitors and travellers, without an overnight stay on site.
Let's reconnect… with stillness.
From the shop
Grounding sheets, yoga mats, essential oils, water systems, merchandise, rapé, kuripes, herbs, incense, palo santo, ceremonial cacao and ritual objects — among others.
Let's reconnect… with each other.
From the journal
Stories, reflections and practical guides from Finca TrustGaia — exploring grounding, breathwork, forest bathing, cold exposure, ceremonial cacao, Costa Tropical and more.
Yoga outdoors — a practice with the land
What changes when you take yoga off the studio floor and onto a wooden platform above the sea. A slow, honest look at breath, attention, and the postures that meet you where you are.
Sea kayaking on Costa Tropical
A slow-paced guide to exploring the hidden coves, sea caves and quiet coastline of Costa Tropical from the seat of a kayak.
Shared meals, nature and human connection
Why an unhurried meal outdoors, with people you barely know, does something for the nervous system that no single technique can. Notes from long tables above the Mediterranean.
Stay in touch
A quiet, occasional letter. New retreats, seasonal writing, small shop drops.
