Mount Shasta Yoga Retreat:
A Nervous System Reset & Digital Detox Experience
June 19-22, 2026
A 4-day immersion in nature designed to regulate your nervous system, unplug from digital overload, and restore your inner balance.
Held on a sacred retreat property during the Summer Solstice, this intimate gathering weaves:
- nervous system healing,
- earth-based ceremony,
- and ancient wisdom into a deeply transformative experience.
This retreat is intentionally limited to 13 participants to preserve depth, safety, and personalized support.
Your reset begins here.
What Happens When You’ve Been Strong for Too Long
Here’s the thing…
You eat well.
You move your body.
You show up for everyone.
But your nervous system feels frazzled.
Your mind keeps overthinking — even when your calendar is empty.
Which, let’s be honest, your calendar is barely empty…
Sleep feels restless.
Rest feels unproductive.
And, silence feels unfamiliar.
You’ve adapted to pressure so well that exhaustion has become your baseline.
Digital noise ruins your quiet time.
Constant doom-scrolling makes you feel like you don’t have the dream life.
Responsibility and performance fills up your days with endless pressure.
And somewhere beneath it all, your body, mind and spirit are asking you to slow down.
Not to collapse.
Or escape.
But, to regulate.
This retreat is not about getting away from your life.
It’s about restoring your internal capacity to live your life without feeling like you're in survival mode.
The purpose of this retreat is to reconnect you with nature and your inner happiness.
It’s probably been years since you’ve felt wild and free.
Life, career, and family are all important and are a special part of your life.
But, somehow, you feel like you’ve been missing out.
You used to dream vividly and would have exciting adventures.
You’ve always been just a little bit different than the norm, probably even “the black sheep” of the family.
But, the heaviness of your responsibilities keeps dragging you down and disconnects you from your happiness.
Even though everything is ‘fine’, you don’t feel like you’re living life fully.
Just living day by day isn’t good enough anymore.
There are times that you get glimpses of things — energy, the spirit world, premonitions, feelings…
And, now you’re recognizing that you are an empath.
You can intuitively feel energy.
You feel like you’re on the brink of something big but you don’t have the words to describe it yet.
So, you’re seeking:
more depth
more spiritual connection
And more understanding of your nature.
Because, you’re ready for something to change.
You know if things stay the same you’re going to miss out on your soul’s purpose.
This isn’t random.
Your soul communicates through your nervous system.
And, your nervous system has been overstimulated for years.
You know this is where you have to start – healing and regulating your nerves.
This is the reason why Mount Shasta has called seekers for generations.
Mount Shasta is a living temple of light — often called the ‘Mountain of Light’ —
It is an ancient volcanic mountain admired across cultures as a vortex of healing, awakening, and love.
Many travel to Shasta as a spiritual pilgrimage to connect with its powerful energy.
The local tribes, Wintu, Shasta, and Karuk, revere and honor the volcanic mountain as sacred.
The land itself is medicine for your soul.
Just by being there, your energy naturally becomes balanced and centered.
The mountain meets each seeker exactly where they are, offering healing through nature herself.
Where the unseen becomes felt.
Where your destiny awakens in your bones.
And, where the sacred is revealed not through effort, but through presence.
From the forests, to the springs, the lakes and the great mountain peak, each quality of nature amplifies your healing experience.
This Mount Shasta Yoga Retreat is where you find the natural healing medicine of the land to guide you through your digital detox –
Restoring your nervous system and cultivating inner peace, joy and happiness.
This spiritual retreat in Mount Shasta is held on a 10-acre private retreat property.
You will be immersed in an enchanted forest with a flowing mineral creek.
The volcanic geology fills the flowing creek with pure healing minerals that we will host our Despacho Ceremony in.
You’ll experience the sacred landscape of the retreat property as a conscious healing energy.
Which will naturally recalibrate your nervous system.
And, by practicing yoga and breathwork on this special land, you will activate deeper layers of your spiritual identity through the quiet awe of nature's beauty.
This is where the change that you’ve been seeking transforms you from the inside out.
You will be able to take the time and walk the labyrinth and feel the peace and calm that ensues through the powerful chakra spots on the property.
As the yoga retreat unfolds, you will feel happiness and joy return in your heart again.
Your cup will be overflowing.
Taking the time to journey to this sacred mountain, and getting away from the daily noise, when you return home you’ll feel the change.
Solstice significance – Why that matters for nervous system + transformation
Set on the weekend of the Summer Solstice, this Mount Shasta Yoga Retreat is in cosmic alignment with the longest day of the year.
The powerful alignment mirrors the expansive energy of the sun with the inner expansion of your own light.
Celebrating the Summer Solstice with 108 Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar) is a traditional yoga ritual dating as far back as 1500-500 BCE.
This ancient healing tradition symbolizes an internal solar transformation and cleansing experience.
It marks the changing of the seasons – in nature and within yourself.
Practicing 108 Sun Salutations on this day is said to generate internal heat and cultivate mindfulness.
The number 108 is sacred & has a deep meaning representing spiritual completeness.
There are 108 marma (energy) points on the body.
108 sacred sites (pithas) in India.
108 Upanishads (sacred texts)
And, the sun’s diameter is roughly 108 times the earth’s diameter, while the distance between the sun and earth is about 108 times the sun’s diameter.
In yoga philosophy, when you align yourself cosmically, you represent the wholeness of your existence and you consciously reset yourself for the upcoming season of life.
This is why being immersed in a spiritual retreat setting like this is so important.
The benefits of this practice are a deep cleansing for your mind, body and spirit resulting in a deeply peaceful and meditative state.
It is a way to express gratitude for the light and life giving energy of the sun.
Who this is for
For the spiritual seeker who knows their sensitivity is not a weakness, their exhaustion is not a failure, and their longing for community is not random.
— it is a remembering of the medicine within.
The 4-day experience overview
Over 4 days and 3 nights you will experience the creative spiritual rebirth that happens through yoga, breathwork, sound healing and nature-based ceremony.
The morning includes grounding and regulating your nervous system.
Each day you’ll have a midday immersion experience to connect with your inner light.
And, in the evenings you’ll be invited into spiritual ceremonies through healing frequencies, movement, and community.
Your nervous system will feel the most relaxed it has felt in years and your heart will be over flowing with love, abundance and happiness.
This retreat is accessible to all spiritual levels:
whether you’re new to yoga, or a seasoned yogi,
whether you’re new to spiritual healing or have been to many ceremonies,
Anyone eager to heal naturally and align with their authentic self is welcome.
The land of Mount Shasta + your energy healing initiation through the sacred ceremonies is where your transformation becomes undeniable.

The retreat is designed to be restorative rather than physically intense. Activities such as yoga, breathwork, and nature walks are optional and adaptable to different levels of mobility and energy.

And, the unshakeable inner peace that you’ll feel will permeate throughout the rest of your life.
If You Feel Called to Be Here
There are moments in life when something inside you quietly says,
“This is the place. This is the time.”
Not because it makes perfect logical sense.
But because your body, heart, and intuition recognize something deeper.
This Mount Shasta Yoga Retreat is not simply a weekend away.
It is an intentional pause from the noise of everyday life so you can reconnect with yourself, the healing power of nature, and the deeper wisdom that already lives within you.
When you step onto this sacred land, something begins to shift.
Your nervous system softens.
Your mind becomes quiet.
Your heart begins to open again.
Surrounded by the ancient forests, the flowing mineral waters, and a supportive circle of like-hearted participants, you will have the space to release what has been weighing you down and remember the deeper truth of who you are.
You do not need to have everything figured out before you come.
You only need to be willing to listen to the quiet voice within you that says it is time for something to change.
Trust What You Feel
If reading this page has stirred something inside of you…
If the thought of being on this mountain brings a sense of peace, curiosity, or excitement…
That feeling is worth listening to.
Sometimes the most powerful decisions we make in life are not the ones that make the most sense on paper.
They are the ones that bring us closer to ourselves.
Your future self will thank you for saying yes.
