Lion’s Gate Retreat

LAUNCHING SOON!

August 4-9, 2025

Join us for a magical 5 night/6 day retreat in the heart of Mount Shasta in Northern California. Mount Shasta is one of the most unique vortexes in the world. The energy is undismissable and the activations that happen there are not for the faint of heart. Mount Shasta will undoubtedly bring you to a new level of awareness on your Spiritual Journey.

Mount Shasta is considered the crown chakra (for some the root chakra) of the world. It is the home to the Lemurian beings of light which are from the civilization of Ancient Lemuria in the Pacific Ocean. Thousands of years ago, their continent sunk in a great flood and those that knew it was coming were able to retreat to Mount Shasta. It is said within the mountain is a hidden city of tunnels called Telos. Often you can see UFO clouds entering the peak of the mountain.

There is so much to be said about this small town in California but it is one that needs to be experienced in order to truly believe it. Trust me!

The two most prominent places to experience Lemurian energy are Mount Shasta and Kauai. While the Hawaiian islands are said to be remnants of this ancient civilization, Mount Shasta is where they have laid the foundation of their new home after the catastrophe.

The time we are travelling there is no coincidence. We will be there right in the energy of Lion’s Gate. This is an incredibly auspicious time as we receive an influx of cosmic energy through the Sirius star which is aligned with the earth and our sun. Sirius is considered our spiritual sun and Lion’s Gate supports spiritual growth and evolution.

On this retreat, we will be doing a shamanic drum birthing workshop with local legend Ann Kehler. Ann has been a shaman for years and has trained a lot of the other people in the community so to have her do this for us is such a gift. Last year, she told me we were her last group and she was retiring and this year she is taking us on again (we left a special place in her heart). On our final day, we will be having a fire on the mountain and initiating our drums with the mountain energy.

Our Accommodations

This year I have decided to trade in our in town accommodations for a more rural retreat center just a few minutes from the shops. Hikari Place is located in a rural setting on the outskirts of Mount Shasta, an area known for its healing properties, paranormal phenomena, and sacred water bodies. This majestic volcano, located at the southern end of the Cascade Mountain Range, offers one of the strongest energy vortexes in North America and has inspired spiritual seekers for decades. 

You will find our sanctuary on a hill, nestled amongst the Pines. Its unique elevated position means that there are mountain peaks and green leaves everywhere you look. All three Siskiyou mountain ranges are visible from the windows, offering an elevated escape from worldly concerns and a reset to the central nervous system. 

Hikari Place is a celebration of light and natural wilderness. What makes it unique is its Temple space, and the awe-inspiring mountain views. Located on the lower terrace of the gardens and with Mount Shasta keeping watch, Hikari Temple consists of three distinct design elements – a 400+ sq. ft. outdoor yoga and meditation studio, a fireplace, and a 120+ sq. ft. labyrinth.

A sacred space created for ceremony and practice. It offers the opportunity to connect with and honor the four elements – earth, air, fire, and water. Beloved Mount Shasta holds the space, offering breathtaking views and representing the omnipresent ether element.

Picture yourself waking up in your cozy room, looking out at the mountain as sunrise greets you. You come into the common area with a full spread of breakfast goodies, take a sip of coffee and only wish you were never leaving. A whole day of exploring awaits and every day is a new adventure.

This retreat is limited to only 10 people. It will be very intimate and all genders are welcome.

Shamanic DRUM MAKING workshop INCLUDED with EARLY BIRD PRICING ($400 VALUE) UNTIL MARCH 31 or SOLD OUT!
