Somatic Sanctuary: Mt. Shasta Summer Yoga Retreat

August 20-23, 2020

Unplug, ground, realign and reconnect with four days + three nights of yoga & meditation, three healing meals/day and epic hiking. All levels of experience welcome.

We're celebrating being alive, being in community and being liberated from our homes during the the peak of summer in the stunning beauty of Mt. Shasta. 

There is absolutely no time better than NOW for self-care, getting outside of our internal, external and electronic boxes and connection with our Great Mother Earth in the peace and ease of the 'root chakra of the globe.' Couldn't we all use a little root chakra booster right about now?

How might we come to inhabit our body as a Somatic Sanctuary, a portal that returns us to the ever-presence of our Soul? In addition to all levels yoga and Mindful Bootcamp, we’ll explore this question by releasing areas of chronic tension with the pleasure of healing self-bodywork with therapy balls and plenty free time to adventure to epic hiking, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and more. Expect to return home rested and refreshed with an expanded toolkit of wellness practices to balance your body & mind.

The Mystical Magic of Mount Shasta

“The Greeks had Olympus; Moses had Sinai. And seekers in the modern age have Mount Shasta.” -NPR

Mount Shasta is internationally celebrated as the “Root Chakra” of the planet so prepare to ground and reconnect to your sense of purpose. Drink crystal pure water straight from the snow melt. Hike amidst old growth cedars and roaming wildlife to meditate at an ‘energy vortex’ that thousands of generations have called ‘the sacred center of the universe.’ Awaken with a rejuvenating soak in the living natural springs flowing from the center of the colossal Shasta, the tallest mountain in the continental United States. This time of the year is stunning in Shasta- the snow has melted, the sun is warm enough to bear the promise of Spring and yet the air is sharp and fresh. Learn from the master of presence- the spirit and wisdom of nature herself!

Hestia Retreat Center is a healing sanctuary for rest, connection and transformation surrounded by a flowing creek, labyrinth, healing meditation garden, and 10-acres of enchanted forest.

I look forward to connecting with you in the Temple our our Bodies in the Sanctuary of Nature.

Your safety is our highest priority.

Here are recent changes we've made in favor of increased health and safety:

Social Responsibility and your safety is our top priority. Here's how a socially distanced yoga retreat works:

  • The weather is stunning in Shasta this time year- all group activities will be outdoors including movement and meals

  • Everyone has their own room or glampsite (unless you're coming as a group)

  • All surfaces will be regularly disinfected and hand sanitizer will be abundantly available in every public space. 

  • There are both indoor and outdoor showers and bathrooms. We ask you keep your mask with you at all times, as you’ll need it anytime you walk indoors

  • Meals will either be plated by masked and gloved kitchen staff or you'll wear your mask and disposable gloves we provide while plating yourself. 

  • Instead of group outdoor activities (hiking, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, etc), we’ll separate into smaller groups + schedule exploration at your leisure during free time.

  • BYOP- Bring Your Own Props
