Sacred JOURNEY
Retreat to Mt. Shasta
Connect with The Earth and Your Starseed Origins
July 26th - Aug. 2nd, 2024
7 days of adventure, connection and sacred ceremony in Mount Shasta, California.
Mount Shasta is the root chakra of the earth and is a place full of spiritual mystery and legends. From tales of the ancient Lemurian city of Telos to the Native American creation stories Mount Shasta is a spiritual epicenter unlike any other.
Power sites like Mount Shasta can amplify and accelerate transformation, awakening and spiritual connection. In this special place, where the veil is thinner, miracles regularly happen and anything is possible.
In May of 2019 Katie traveled to Mount Shasta and it changed her life. She experienced a monumental shift in her being that has led to an unbelievable expansion in her purpose driven work on this planet. It enabled her to release lifetimes of limiting beliefs and traumas that were locked in her root and sacral chakras preventing her from creating and bringing forth important esoteric teachings that were waiting to be birthed. Mount Shasta was the catalyst of clearing she needed to step more deeply into herself and her power. And now she is ready to share that with others!!
Retreat Program Overview
Adventure, Connection, Ceremony, and Rejuvenation
Each morning of the retreat You will
Begin each day with a rejuvenating session designed to harmonize your mind, body, and spirit. Our mornings commence with gentle, invigorating movements and yoga, setting the stage for a day of mindfulness and growth. This is followed by a serene meditation session, allowing you to deeply anchor into your being and prepare for the day's enriching activities.
After aligning your inner peace, delight in a nutritious breakfast crafted from locally-sourced ingredients. This thoughtfully prepared meal not only nourishes your body but also connects you with the vibrant local flavors, ensuring you start your day feeling fulfilled and energized.
Each Day you will
Have an opportunity to immerse yourself in the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds us. You'll embark on a soul-stirring day hike to one of many sacred sites – be it a serene mountain meadow, a tranquil medicine lake, or a majestic waterfall. These excursions are not just hikes; they are journeys into the heart of nature and self-discovery.
During these explorations, we'll pause to enjoy a nourishing lunch amidst the beauty of the land, accompanied by a sacred ceremony that honors the earth and our connection to it. This is a time for reflection, gratitude, and deep connection with the natural world.
Upon returning to the retreat center, you'll have the chance to rejuvenate in our unique red and white mineral waters, known for their healing properties. The remainder of the afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure, offering a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
Every Evening you will engage in
A time of nourishment and profound spiritual connection. The day concludes with a grounding meal, lovingly prepared to nurture both body and soul. This sets the stage for our nightly sacred ceremony, a transformative experience that blends sound healing with channeled teachings.
In these ceremonies, we open ourselves to wisdom from an array of celestial guides: the star brothers and sisters, the creator beings, the Divine Feminine Collective, Mother Earth, the Ascended Masters, and the Divine Masculine Collective. Embracing these teachings, we journey through a realm of spiritual enlightenment and universal love.
Katie and Josh, our gifted guides, connects with different spiritual entities each night, bringing through channeled messages and sound healing tailored for the group. These sessions are not just informative; they are a profound experience of healing and insight, offering each participant personal revelations and a deeper connection with the cosmos.
With a very special Lion’s Gate Ceremony
Not only will we be performing impromptu ceremonies, land healings and activations on the mountain and everywhere in between but we will be sitting in a sacred cacao ceremony on one night of the retreat to celebrate the Opening of the Lion’s Gate Portal. This alone will make the trip life-changing and something that can’t be missed. Katie and Josh will find the most harmonious day for this special ceremony based on the energies of the group.
Memories from Past Mt. Shasta Retreats
The Retreat Setting
Healing Waters of Shasta is located in the Medicine Spring Valley, at the foothills of the Eddies Mountain Range, basking in the natural beauty of alpine lakes and wetlands. It is close to Stewart Minerals Springs Retreat Center (Pneuma Institute). Henry Stewart received healing from his ailments by bathing in the mineral waters many years ago. Stewart Mineral Springs was known as "America's highest known quality of mineral waters since 1875". It is here that the red spring, representing the feminine energy, and the white spring, representing masculine energy, unite. It is one of two places in the world with red and white springs coming together. This represents the Divine Union.
This sacred land was blessed by Himalayan Master Yogiraj Satgurunath Siddhanath & his wife, Shivangini, on August 9, 2022 (pictured below). They represent the Shiva/Shakti (Divine Union). Yogiraj Satgurunath Siddhanath is a Living Kriya Yoga Master. He has traveled the world for the past 50+ years bringing Kundalini Kriya Yoga to humanity so that we can have a better life. If you are ready for healing, awakening, enlightenment and a better life, practice Kriya Yoga.
The Mount Shasta Glastonbury Connection
The mineral water at Shasta Healing Waters bubbles up from the ground from two distinct sources named the white water and the red water springs because of their respective iron and calcium deposits.
The waters have a distinct parallel in their properties to the two springs in Glastonbury, England where they also have a white spring and a red spring at the base of Chalice Hill, both of which have been in use for thousands of years. The red water represents the male energy and the white water, the female. Both Mount Shasta and Glastonbury are very powerful energetic places on the planet where the waters are imbued with great healing properties. Glastonbury has the myth of King Arthur and Guinevere, representing divine love. Mount Shasta is a place of tranquility, peace and happiness, surrounded by many mysteries. Both Mount Shasta and Camelot represent ancient mythical kingdoms based on a spiritual and visionary society as much as a geographic place.
The Food
How we nourish our bodies as we move through shifts and transformations is critical. We are pleased to be working with Maggie Brown a Certified Health Coach & Integrative Nutritionist as our local caterer who will be preparing high vibrational and energetically aligned food for us each day. We will have our lunches on the go during the days adventures onsite at various sacred spots around Mt. Shasta and breakfast and dinner will be held at Healing Waters Namaste House each morning and night. The food will be farm fresh, local & seasonal with options for those who are gluten or dairy sensitive as well as vegan or vegetarian. In addition, a kitchen is available onsite should you have additional dietary restrictions that need to be supported.
