“Recalibration of the mind means clearing our perceptions and recovering our capacity for pure observation.” — Ilchi Lee
Join us at the root chakra of the planet, to experience its vortex of energy and to reconnect you to your soul, rebirthing yourself into wholeness, expansion and the magic of the mystery.
July 18 to July 24 — 2024
Feed your soul.
One of the best gifts we can give ourselves is the opportunity to transform – to embark on a journey that will unforeseeable be THE experience that changes you forever.
Imagine emerging as a different person — stronger, empowered and more connected than you ever thought possible. We often hear tales about the magic of life, but where is it? How do we find it? If you knew it existed, would you go and experience it
A warm breeze, soothing alkaline waters, and breathtaking views — Communing with Mother Earth on Mount Shasta nurtures your spirit and supercharges your soul.
She offers you an initiation — a rite of passage where you can look deeply into yourself and breathe fresh mountain air into a new beginning, ready to emerge. Mount Shasta is loving to her visitors, providing all who are meant to visit with the energy of a mother’s bosom that nestles all your stresses away.
Now add sacred medicine — the master teacher — and you are in for one profound journey. How many times have you felt called to something and let it pass you by? Hopefully, not this time. The timing of these retreats will be divine for you, as they have been for many, wherever you are on the path of your life’s journey. If you feel the call, answer it.
The mountain is sacred —
It emanates a very visceral and palpable energy that will seep into your heart the moment you arrive.
People from all over the world visit every year because of its mystical essence and healing capabilities. Celebrities, medicine men and women, famous speakers, musicians, and healers alike come to receive their dose of the Mountain’s medicine, and there is more than enough to go around.
Retreat
details —
The retreat will take place from Thursday, July 18th through Wednesday, July 24th, 2024. Arriving on the 18th, leaving on the 24th. Check-in on the 18th and check out on the 24th are both at 12pm.

The Main House with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms is the center of the retreat space and is graced with meditation gardens, a large luscious meadow lawn, gathering spaces, and accommodation spaces including wood cabins and canvas tents. All this set in 8 acres of private land that is cared for with love and adoration.
There are 4 wood cabins and 2 lotus glamping tents for shared occupancy that include indoor and (private) outdoor bathrooms/showers/tubs. In addition, there is a deck, a lawn, a yoga/meditation studio, a yoga shed and a large 16’ tent for gathering.
Can you imagine having a bath under the sun? Or showering outdoors and smelling nature’s sweet scent? Come rest, release and sit with the medicine with the utmost most care and attention.
We will visit sacred sites on the mountain, waterfalls and lakes all while drinking the cleanest spring water you have ever tasted. Daytime and nighttime excursions are in your future.
Get ready to give back to yourself, removing all hats and surrendering into the depths of the moment.

Upon booking your spot and submitting your payment, (whether in full or deposit) you will be automatically redirected to a next steps page —
You will find a retreat waiver, and a medical intake form that must be filled out and sent back to us to ensure the medicine will not create any disturbances with your current health.
Please sign and return the intake form & retreat waiver within 24 hours of receiving payment.
Only in the instance you are unable to comply to the medical form or retreat agreement, you may email me directly to request cancellation and refund.
You will also find a selection of helpful links to review, as well as details for a dieta.
A "dieta" (diet) is prescribed and highly necessary to be undertaken two weeks before as a way to prepare. The dieta consists of vegetarian/alkaline foods and the gradual removal of all stimulants such as alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, marijuana, sugar, salts, spices, disturbing media and abstaining from ejaculation (you will want your life force energy for this ceremony).
During a Zoom call we will answer any questions and also ask for your food allergies. You will also have an opportunity to coordinate carpooling and travel with other retreat attendees if you’d like.
