Feed your soul.
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.
The greatest gift we can give ourselves is the chance to transform — to embark on a journey that could change us forever.
Imagine emerging stronger, more empowered, and deeply connected. We hear about the magic of life, but where is it? Would you go find it if you knew it was real?
A warm breeze, soothing alkaline waters, and breathtaking views —connecting with Mother Earth on Mount Shasta nurtures your spirit and recharges your soul.
She offers you an initiation, a rite of passage to look deeply within and breathe in new beginnings. Mount Shasta embraces her visitors, wrapping them in the healing energy of a mother’s care.
Add sacred medicine — the master teacher — and you’re set for a profound journey. How many times have you felt called to something and let it pass? Hopefully, not this time. The timing of these retreats is divine, offering transformation wherever you are on your path. If you feel the call, answer it.

Once your spot is booked and payment is submitted (deposit or full), you'll be automatically redirected to a "next steps" page.
There, you’ll find a retreat waiver and a medical intake form, both of which are mandatory and need to be completed within 24 hours. These forms help us ensure that the medicine aligns with your current health. If you’re unable to complete either, please reach out for assistance or to request a cancellation and refund. Attendance is not permitted without completing both forms.
You'll find helpful links and guidance for the dieta, a vital and necessary two-week preparation to cleanse your system with vegetarian/alkaline foods and remove stimulants (e.g., alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, sugar, spices, media, and sustain ejaculatory abstinence).
Two Zoom calls will follow, where we’ll answer questions, discuss dietary regimens, learn about the plant medicine and help coordinate carpooling or travel plans with other retreat attendees.

Bring light, comfortable clothing for daytime hikes and warmer layers for cooler nights (daytime highs around 90°F, nighttime lows around 50°F). If you tend to feel chilly, pack thermals or extra layers. For sun protection, consider a hat or umbrella. Some items may get a bit dirty from nature.
For ceremonies, feel free to bring attire that feels meaningful—think white or light colors, florals, jewelry, or anything that lets you express your Divine Self authentically. Also totally fine to wear comfy clothing.
Consider an extra bag (book or shoulder bag) for any gifts or spiritual items you may want to purchase. Local shops offer unique items like crystals, singing bowls, jewelry, sage, and cedar at reasonable prices.

What kind of retreat is this?
It is a retreat that allows you to connect with nature and take a breather from daily life. If you are looking for a deep reset, heart opening, deep healing, community and soul family, potent grounding or fun exploration, then this retreat is for you. The greatest reset of your life could come from no better place than the Root chakra of Mother Earth. Alignment is destined.
What if I have food allergies?
Food allergies will be inquired about during our zoom call before the retreat. Your allergies will be accommodated.
Where is Mount Shasta located?
Mt. Shasta is located in California, 60 miles north of Redding, and 60 miles south of the Oregon border, along Interstate 5. Pine-covered mountains surround our valley, with the snowy volcanic peak of Mt. Shasta towering 14,179 feet high above it. The elevation of the city of Mt. Shasta is 3500 feet and sloping upwards. The city limits are contained in an area of 3.4 square miles. The sphere of influence extends about 41 square miles and is surrounded by the Shasta Trinity National Forest.
Will there be plant medicine or alcohol?
Yes to plant medicine. No alcohol.
Will I have personal time?
Yes! There will be designated silent hours for integration and relaxation.
What will the group sharing experiences be like?
A safe space will be created for vulnerability to be encouraged. Confidentiality will be honored by all members of the retreat.
What if I’m shy?
You will be met with grace to support your process. This is a non-judgemental space and you can share as you wish.
What if I’m scared of being in the wilderness?
Your safety and comfort are our top priority. We will be equipped with flashlights and the animals do not make themselves seen. There are no stories from the locals about animal attacks. In fact, they say that the animals we would typically fear, are actually scared of humans. Feel free to reach out to me to discuss your concerns.
Can I invite friends or my partner?
Of course! Be sure to send them the information. Each ticket admits ONE person. The shared rooms are great for friends or siblings, and the master bedroom with the ensuite bathroom/hot tub is a great option for partners who desire a more intimate feel and quality time.
Can I arrive to Shasta before the retreat, or stay longer after the retreat?
You are more than welcome to extend your visit, however you will need to arrange your own accommodations.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. Further details listed on the booking page.
Can I pay with a credit card/debit card?
Yes. Send me an email letting me know you want to use a credit card and I will send you an invoice. You can make the payment via the invoice in less then a minute.
Do you offer refunds?
No. Please be certain you can attend before purchase. In the event of an unforeseen emergency, your payment will be saved as a credit and can be used for future retreats. Proof of your emergency will need to be provided before a credit is issued.

Meet your hosts ⤵
Your Host, Joshua White Raven
Joshua Dorfman, a Spiritual teacher and healer born and raised in New York city, was born into a family of healers and mystics. The women from both sides of his family were naturally gifted with psychic abilities, foresight, and knowledge of natural remedies. As early as three years old, he was able to tune into the “unseen realms” and have dreams that would come true. Having been studying for most of his life, Joshua stepped into his role of service and leadership in 2014 where he began offering energy healing, meditation, Shamanic journeys and life coaching services full time.
Joshua specializes in creating a safe space for people to communicate vulnerably, and evolve through self-realization and the integration of one’s “Spirit” into the Hue-man experience. He knows how to speak directly to the heart and soul with words that resonate deeply and believes that emotional intelligence and intuition are the secrets to creating harmony.

Her grounded and nurturing presence is holding the container in safety, care and light, clearing any energy that needs to be removed from the space so that you are safely held to let go and surrender in your journey, to experience deeply what the medicine has to offer. Her passion in life is to create experiences where people can come together to connect and feel, liberating themselves to be fully free in their authentic expression.
