Stay at Mount Shasta
This sweet, mid-sized retreat center has all the features needed for a perfect stay: great location, majestic property, various indoor and outdoor spaces, unique and delightful rooming options, a good-sized central kitchen, and space to wander.
With many accommodation options to choose from, Mount Shasta is a home-away-from-home that offers coziness in many unique settings. From rooms in the main house to modern-day cabins to beds in charming bell tents, each location is special and holds its own magic.
The land itself has winding pathways leading to many nooks, spacious meadows, towering pines, lazy hammocks, and other sweet spots to stumble upon. There are also outdoor and indoor bathrooms, showers, and bathtubs, creating a range of experiences to delight all of the senses.
Morning and late-afternoon practice will either be inside the house or outdoors on one of the lawns, and the central fire pit will be our evening destination for song, lively conversation, drumming, and soaking in all of the vast and twinkling starlight bathing us from above.
About Shasta
The mountain itself is strikingly beautiful as it infuses the area around it with powerful presence. Crystal clear, energized, and structurally intact waters flow through, famed for their healing abilities one can soak and drink in. Outdoor activities are abundant: hiking, swimming, boating, bird watching, and so much more flourish here due to the beauty and vitality of the land.
Mount Shasta has been famous for centuries, considered by native peoples to be one of the most sacred sites of the planet. It has been called the “belly button” of the Earth due to it’s location on the energetic grid lines as well as its direct, felt connection to the spirit of Mother Earth.
People have utilized this energy for as long as we know to activate prayers, receive powerful visions, connect to higher frequencies, open to greater understanding, and bring potency to their spiritual path in manifold ways.
What a fun and powerful way to spend our High Summer: together in joyful community, deepening our understanding of self and life, exploring and revelling in exquisite nature, and furthering our spiritual practices: all at one of the most powerful spots on all of Earth.
