Retreat Testimonials
This retreat was one of the most transformational experiences of my life!
“In March 2019, I attended the Women and Power retreat. I did not know what to expect as this was the first time I would be doing breathwork and do a retreat like this. Going to this retreat was one of the most transformational experiences of my life. Before going to this event, I felt very disenchanted with what I was doing career-wise. I wanted to find myself and meaning in my life again. This experience provided results that I could have never imagined. Through Christian’s well-thought-out retreat, I found clarity and purpose. At the end of the retreat, I had the inspiration to do things I never thought of, such as writing a book and focusing more on helping others. Since that time, I have written a book, started a professional coaching career, and most importantly, found meaning in the work that I am doing.
Christian and the work that he does is life-changing. I highly encourage any retreat or, at the very least, breath work that he offers. He is an extraordinary person that I feel very blessed to know.”

My experience at Esalen Retreat was life-changing!
“My life continues to be an amazing adventure. I cannot thank you enough. My experience at Esalen was indeed life-changing. So much has happened in my life since I let go of fear. When I got back to Florida after Esalen everyone said. “You look different,” I answered. “I am!” ”

We released limiting beliefs and patterns in our relationship while creating a deep and lasting bond for our family
“I cannot recommend the Soulful Relationships retreat more highly, for couples and singles alike. Breathwork is so powerful and truly transformative for those aspiring to live a free, unencumbered and truly fulfilled life.
My wife and I participated while pregnant and together we released limiting beliefs and patterns in our relationship while creating a deep and lasting bond for our family, in breath. If you can breathe, you can do it. It will be the best use of your time and money, I am certain! Throw your hat over the wall and commit!”

Spiritually deep, heart connected and magical entry into a new year that I’ve ever had

Offering a spiritual foundation to develop a more unified method of living
“I really appreciate your efforts to offer the queer community a spiritual foundation out of which to develop a more unified method of living. It’s people like you that have given me the strength to express my desires in the face of hostility, to renounce passivity and regain personal integrity, to repudiate convention, and to step into the frightening realm of uncertainty. I sincerely thank you for that.”
—Jake
To be spiritual and sexual are not mutually exclusive!
“Christian de la Huerta was amazing. His workshop empowered me as a person, as a Christian, and as a gay man both spiritually and sexually. I now know that I have permission to be both spiritual and sexual and the two are not mutually exclusive.”
—Charles
I left trek with a profound sense of purpose and new vigor for my work
“I’ve attended three of Christian’s breathwork retreats. Each one was more profound than the other. I arrived at the recent workshop–on the mystical Hawaiian island of Moloka’i–somewhat dissatisfied with my life and the direction it was taking. I left with a profound sense of purpose and new vigor for my work. Almost immediately afterward, I was offered the opportunity to take several trips to Africa, and just last week I was appointed to serve on the Communities Delegation that advises the Board of Directors of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. I am now one of 40 people around the world who advise the Global Fund on the needs and priorities of people living with and affected by these devastating diseases. There is no doubt those opportunities came about thanks to Christian’s breathwork retreats and to his quiet determination to help people find their life’s purpose.”

I was able to clear some of the stuck energy
“If you have never heard of breathwork, allowing Christian to control space for rapid healing is a must. Before this retreat, I literally got an MRI on my spine and was close to not being able to walk. I couldn’t even sit on the plane there. After intensive sessions and focusing on the blockage in my spine, I was able to clear some of the stuck energy and was pressing into a handstand by day 4. Not only this, but I also was able to see my father that I have not seen or spoken to in 3 years. Breathwork saved my life. And Christian is a world leader in breathwork. Life moves fast, allow yourself time to sift through some of the baggage you are carrying in your day today. I promise you will not regret it. Thank you, Christian!”

Personal and Professional growth because of the retreat
“I experienced the most personal and professional growth ever in my life because of the experiences at the retreat.”
—Marti Marie
Wow… Breathwork was truly life-changing
“I’m thinking about who made a difference in my life in 2017, & Christian de la Huerta is definitely one of them… I’ve been to many healing retreats, but this was my first experience with breathwork, and wow… It was truly life-changing. Yes, the breathwork in & of itself brought me to depths of my being that I hadn’t previously explored, but I was only able to go there as a result of Christian’s ability to masterfully hold the space for us in such a safe way.
He truly is gifted at what he does. I made friends with beautiful people that weekend — we laughed, cried, shared together, released, & transformed. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my birthday this year. I highly recommend you check out one of his retreats, either at the amazing Goddess Temple in beautiful Miami or at one of his retreats across the country. You’ll be grateful.”

Christian is truly a master of facilitating transpersonal growth and transformation
“Christian is truly a master of facilitating transpersonal growth and transformation. His tools are group dynamics, symbols and imagery, deep listening, the power of insightful questions, music, and of course, the magic of the breath. He wields them all like Monet did his brushes. The two retreats I’ve attended have made the canvas of my life much more beautiful than I could have imagined. I am grateful beyond words.”
—Robert
Learning the history of LGBTQ people in ancient civilizations made me proud to be gay for the first time in my life
“I recently read your book Coming Out Spiritually and I was forever changed. I was reluctantly searching for some kind of spirituality in my life, and you really had a profound impact on me. Learning the history of gays and lesbians in ancient civilizations as shamans and holy people made me proud to be gay for the first time in my life.”
—Kevin
I feel more centered and was moved by the openness
“Christian was great: kept things moving and focused. I went seeking to reinforce my spirituality which I felt had suffered in the last few years. I feel I succeeded. I got to get in touch with myself and move past a few things. I feel more centered and was moved by the openness and truth that were expressed by all. A very positive experience overall for me and a wonderful group of people!”

Breathwork Testimonials
Christian masterfully crafted a safe space to let go of unwanted energy, get in tune with the heart, and understand helpful ways to understand the ego
As part of my yoga teacher training my class attended a weekend of Breathwork guided by Christian. It’s hard to put into words the profound impact this workshop had in opening my awareness as a future yoga instructor, an energetic guide, and a ‘reset button’ for my soul so I could be fully present for others. Christian masterfully crafted a safe space to let go of unwanted energy, get in tune with the heart, and understand helpful ways to understand the ego. He is truly a rare human with great depth, knowledge, and compassion–I highly recommend any opportunity to work with Christian.

Coaching Testimonials
Christian’s methods help you to find your actual “path”
“I can’t really say enough about Christian’s individual work and about the value of his retreats. I’ve attended numerous of his breathwork sessions over the years — as well as one of his Soulful Power retreats. His work has always inspired me to get in touch with … and stay in touch with … my deeper, more-grounded “internal self.” His dedication to his fellow women and men is profoundly inspirational and his deep compassion is awesome; not just to observe — but to actually feel. The incredible thing is that the work he does is so deep that you never really sense it fading — even years afterward. That’s probably because his methods help you to find your actual “path” — and once you’re on that path, he encourages you to stay on it once and for all.”
—Michael Walker
