Activate Your Fascia in Mt. Shasta - Northern California
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026 - Saturday, July 25th, 2026
Exact location will be provided immediately after booking.
Maria is teaming up with Gayle Fuller (@theboujeehealer on IG) and invites your soul into an amazing collaboration of fascial release and energetic activation upon Mt. Shasta.
Our collaboration begins each morning at the base of Mount Shasta, where we gather in an outdoor setting surrounded by nature. Here, we will explore partnered fascial release, allowing the fresh mountain air, earth, and natural elements to support a deeply restorative and healing journey. As we gently unwind and open the fascia, we create space within the body for greater ease, connection, and renewal.
After a nourishing lunch break, we will journey with Gayle into the sacred vortexes of the mountain. In these powerful spaces, she will guide us through profound chakra activations that align with and deepen the morning’s work. Each experience is thoughtfully woven to support integration, awakening, and energetic balance.

Rising majestically in Northern California, Mount Shasta is not only a striking volcanic peak, but also a place long regarded as sacred and energetically powerful. For generations, it has been honored by Indigenous peoples as a site of spiritual significance, ceremony, and deep connection to the Earth.
Today, Mount Shasta continues to draw seekers from around the world who feel called to its unique presence. Often described as a place of heightened energy, clarity, and transformation, the mountain is associated with powerful vortexes and is believed to support healing, awakening, and inner alignment. Whether experienced through quiet reflection, meditation, or time in nature, Mount Shasta offers a profound sense of renewal and connection to something greater.
Travel + Transportation Information
Please note that there are no Uber or Lyft services operating from the airport to Mount Shasta. We highly recommend arranging transportation in advance.
The most seamless option is to rent a car directly from the airport. This gives you the most flexibility during your stay, especially since many of the sacred sites and vortex locations are spread throughout the mountain area.
Another great option is using the Turo app. If you book in advance, many vehicle owners will deliver the car directly to the airport for you, making pickup very convenient.
There are also local taxi and private car services available. We recommend pre scheduling your ride ahead of time to ensure availability. A list of trusted local services will be provided below.
To help make travel easier and more affordable, we will create a private WhatsApp group for all retreat participants. This will allow you to coordinate ride sharing and carpooling if you would like to split costs with others arriving around the same time.
Accommodation Information
If you would like to stay in the heart of town, we recommend booking accommodations near downtown Mount Shasta. A helpful central landmark is Soul Connections, the main crystal shop located on the primary street in town. Staying near this area keeps you within walking distance of shops, cafes, and restaurants.
There are also beautiful nearby towns just a few minutes away, including Dunsmuir and McCloud, which offer charming lodging options surrounded by nature.
Airbnbs are a popular choice, along with several local hotels and inns. Below you will find a curated list of recommended accommodations that many of our Mount Shasta guests have enjoyed.
We suggest booking early, as lodging can fill quickly during retreat season.
