adult Summer Camp: spiritual fun in the sun!

What to Expect

Come play in the woods, waterfalls, and pristine beauty of mt. Shasta.

Over spacious, unhurried days, we slow our pace and listen for what has always been speaking. Through mindful ritual, immersion in crystal-fed mountain waters, and authentic connection in community, you are welcomed back into right relationship with the living world. Guided foraging walks and grounding ceremonies awaken the senses, soften the nervous system, and re-attune you to nature’s original rhythms.

This is more than a retreat, it is a homecoming. A sacred pause where professionals and wellness seekers step beyond the noise of modern life and into something ancient, expansive, and quietly alive.

Shared meals, fire-side reflection, and quiet evenings for rest and conversation.
