MOUNT SHASTA RETREAT
2026
5 days of awakening in sacred lands
with Vanesa Mouka
Mount Shasta, California | July 16 - 20 , 2026
The mountain is calling us back
yes, for the 4th time!
There are places on Earth where the veil between worlds grows thin, where ancient wisdom whispers through the trees, and where your soul remembers what it came here to do.
Mount Shasta is one of those places.
Each time I return to this sacred mountain, I discover new layers of myself. The land holds a frequency that awakens something deep within, a remembering, a recalibration, a coming home to who you truly are.
This isn't just a retreat. It's a portal into your highest potential, wrapped in the embrace of one of the most mystical locations on the planet: The Root Chakra of the Earth!
Join me for 5 transformative days where we'll weave together:
•Connection with the earth and with each other
• Activation of your inner wisdom
• Adventure through breathtaking landscapes
• Healing in nature's most powerful temple
• Joy in sacred community
• Expansion of what you believe is possible
What awaits you in the mountains
This retreat is designed to awaken every part of you: body, mind, heart, and spirit. We'll move between deep inner work and exhilarating outer exploration, creating the perfect alchemy for transformation.
1- In the embrace of nature, you'll experience:
Mountain trails that lead you deeper into yourself with every step. Sacred sites where we'll activate dormant energies and open portals to higher consciousness. Flowing movement practices that liberate what's been stuck and invite fresh energy to circulate through your being.
2- Ancient practices meet modern magic:
Breathwork journeys that dissolve old patterns and reveal new possibilities. Sound frequencies that recalibrate your nervous system and harmonize your energy field. Ceremonial cacao that opens your heart and deepens your connection to spirit.
3- The land becomes your teacher:
Pristine waterfalls and crystalline lakes that cleanse and renew. Natural cold plunges that awaken vitality and courage. Starlit skies around crackling fires where stories are shared and bonds are forged.
4- Nourishment for every level:
Farm-fresh organic meals prepared with intention by our private chef. Infrared sauna sessions that detoxify and restore. Quiet moments in nature where you can simply be, breathe, and integrate.
5- And the magic that can't be planned:
Spontaneous moments of wonder. Synchronicities that confirm you're exactly where you need to be. The profound gift of being witnessed and held by a community of kindred spirits.
You’ll leave feeling recharged, clear, and more YOU than ever before!!!

our home in the forest
Our private retreat center is a sanctuary within a sanctuary, a carefully chosen space that holds the perfect energy for deep work and joyful play.
Nestled in the forest yet just minutes from town, this property offers everything we need for our journey together. Multiple spaces for movement and meditation, both indoors and under the open sky. A traditional sauna for releasing what no longer serves. Fire pits for evening gatherings beneath the stars. Trails that wind through the trees, inviting contemplation and connection.
The accommodations honor every preference and budget. Whether you choose a private haven for solo reflection, a shared space to deepen friendships, or the adventure of glamping under the stars, you'll find your perfect nest. The main house radiates warmth and comfort. The cabins offer intimate connection with the forest. The glamping tents invite you to sleep beneath the cosmos.
Every detail has been considered—from the stunning outdoor bathrooms that feel like spa experiences to the cozy common areas where spontaneous conversations unfold. This isn't just where we'll stay; it's where we'll remember what it feels like to truly come home.

What participants are saying
1. "I appreciated how well thought out and planned the retreat was while having abundant space to go with the flow and do the things that we were meant to do. It was well guided yet not rigid. As a participant I felt that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly, even if a plan or two (beyond our control) changed. That is a testament to Vanesa and the way she is, organized and detailed, and always pausing to be in alignment with what the next step truly is."
