The Joy of Creation Retreat: A Mount Shasta Reawakening
A five day immersion where effort ends and creation flows.....
This mountain heals in ways you can feel but can’t explain.
This Our Second Pilgrimage to the Mountain
This retreat marks our return to Mount Shasta.
Our last intimate gathering here was filled with an ease and joy that surprised all of us. The laughter became the medicine.
In the months that followed, every single attendee experienced real, tangible shifts. Relationships changed. Work realigned. Energy stabilized. Clarity deepened.
Many of them are choosing to come back, because they trust the land, the container, and what opens when we gather here.
That kind of return tells you everything you need to know about what Mount Shasta does when you give it time and space to work.
What You’ll Experience
The Joy of Creation is designed to be both deeply restorative and quietly powerful. Each day unfolds with intention, spaciousness, and room for the land to work on you. There is nothing to rush and nothing to prove. This is where creation happens naturally.
During our days together, you’ll be held in experiences that support your body, energy, and spirit:
Gentle yoga and breathwork to open the body and soften the mind
Reiki circle for group healing, nervous system settling, and energetic coherence
Crystal alchemy bowl journey to clear, recalibrate, and integrate
A guided visit to the locals-only Goddess Isis pyramid, a powerful site for activation
Daily meditations to ground, listen, and receive guidance
A fairy walk and time in nature to reconnect with play, intuition, and the unseen allies of the land
Hikes on Mount Shasta and time to explore the mountain at your own pace
The Joy of Creation workshop with Retreat Leader Faith Streng
Nourishing, healing meals prepared with care, with vegetarian and vegan options available
Deep connection with a small group of powerful, heart-led healers, creators, and leaders walking sim
Long, unrushed moments to rest, soak in the outdoor tub, nap, journal, and simply BE
Where You'll Stay
Guru Shasta
Nestled at the base of Mount Shasta, this sanctuary was created by a former LA-based landscaper who devoted years to shaping the land with one clear intention: to support personal clarity, embodiment, and spiritual attunement. Here you'll wander through medicinal vegetable gardens, sit in ceremony by a fire, chat with the free range chickens, and absorb the whispers of the forest and native plant lawn.
