Mountain Medicine for the SOUL-- Join us for a transformational and soul-rejuvenating retreat experience for three nights and four days in the healing mountains of Mount Shasta. Our inspired Retreat Center campus is graced with Nature-inspired buildings and luxury yurts on a 10-acre sanctuary surrounded by a flowing creek and forest. Explore and ground in the inspiring natural energy of Mt. Shasta, a majestic mountain known for its healing energy, surrounded by sacred waters. Feel yourself again, as you take in the views at our natural retreat center setting- a rejuvenation vortex, a peaceful gathering place to relax and soak up the healing power of nature, complete with healing gardens, labyrinth walk, flowing creek with cold plunge, and star gazing spots. We will support each participant to have the chance to reconnect with what they value most. Attendees will be invited to engage in wellness at every level. Each day will include healthy meals, expertly-sequenced yoga classes, guided meditations, breathing practices, as well as plenty of time to relax, enjoy the hot tub, or to journal. The retreat will include a half-day of guided silent meditation retreat. Prepare for wonderful hiking, swimming, and breathtaking views. Evenings will include restorative yoga, and community building. We are planning a foray to the local hot springs. Retreatants are strongly encouraged to arrive by 4pm Friday, and to stay the full length of the retreat.
