You will have the gift of spending nourishing private time to walk, reflect, and journal about your experiences and insights from the retreat. Many of these natural locations are not vigorous at all, so you can choose to spend time communing with places of beauty that work best for you and your body. It is advised that you can walk up to 2 miles and do light yoga.

There is no scheduled group activity on the days before or after we meet. However, many places around the area are fun, safe, and easy to explore.

When you register, we'll send you a packet with recommended activities and local food venues.

The meals included with each retreat will be organic, gluten-free, and primarily vegan (with some dairy options on the side). They will also be delicious! Upon registration, you will also be asked to complete a questionnaire that includes dietary restrictions. We will do our absolute best to accommodate your needs.

I'll be the primary facilitator. My dear friend Tashina will be assisting and offering support, wisdom, and co-facilitation for some of the sessions. My style is not that of a teacher, but rather that of a companion guide. The sessions are experiential in nature. I welcome participant sharing and leadership.

Weather & Environmental Conditions in Mt. Shasta:

• Rain: We will meet indoors and take shorter excursions as needed. Bring an umbrella, and we’ll make the most of the experience!
• Smoke or Other Natural Hazards: If environmental conditions, such as wildfire smoke, make it unsafe to gather in person, the retreat will shift to a live online Zoom format, and each participant will receive a $250 refund.

Thank you for understanding and for being a part of this transformative journey!

We recommend flying into Medford, Oregon, or Redding, California, and renting a car. Both airports are approximately 70-80 minutes from Mt. Shasta. You may find better rates flying into Sacramento and driving 4 hours to town. 

Registration for each retreat will be capped at 16. For many activities, the whole group will be together. For others, we will be in smaller groups.

First and foremost, these retreats are about connection to self, and there will be time in the schedule for solo contemplation. That said, most of the structured time will involve interaction with other group members. However, at the beginning of each retreat, we’ll create, discuss, and agree to community guidelines to create a safe container for everyone.

While I cannot predict the age range of the participants this year, the last women's retreats had participants in their 20s to 70s. This multi-generational gathering brought richness to our sharing. You are a Goddess at any age! 

Upon registration, you will receive a list of items we recommend you bring. No special equipment is needed. You'll need everyday items such as a water bottle, walking shoes, jacket, sun hat, sunscreen, swimsuit, and a sacred item for the altar.

You should have a car as the retreat center is 1.2 miles from town and most lodging. Optionally, you can hire a local taxi. We will carpool for our nature excursions and ask some participants to be drivers. When you register, we would be happy to help you find another registrant to share a car and/or lodging.

We ask that there is no drug or alcohol consumption on the premises or during the nature excursions.

There are no lodging or camping options at the retreat home. However, when you register, we’ll send you a list of our favorite hotels in the area. Some great Airbnb options exist, and campgrounds abound. Also, if you'd like to share accommodations with another retreat participant, we will do our best to introduce you. 

Yes. This retreat is for you if you have a woman's body and identify as a woman. All sexual orientations are welcome.
