Delectable Mouthwatering Meals:
Our amazing chef nurtures connection through nourishment from the land, woven into a tapestry of stewardship that offers stories of devotion. Cooking Creation is her offering of love with many hands and elements in every bite.
Because her background as a nutrition consultant guides her, she crafts nourishing and soothing artistic creations that are medicine for body, heart, mind & spirit. She comes from a lineage of food-wisdom-keepers. She creates gourmet cuisine for all participants and accommodates your dietary needs.
Each dish is infused with a spark of flavor from freshly picked herbs and freshly ground spices. One favorite meal is a creation inspired by Spring Boletes popping up on my morning walk. The pasta sauce is a creamy cashew bolete, full of umami. It's a buttery flavour filled with spring palette. Fresh spring chives, basil and parsley lend a bright simplicity that leaves you asking for another bite. It's served on a bed of quinoa pasta with yak rib-eye for a grounded feeling. A spring salad of cooling elements balances this meal with spring greens, cucumber, mint, basil, carrot, hemp seeds and fig vinaigrette. Envision the flavorful power of food, filled with love and intentionality. Ingredients are sustainably grown and locally sourced as much as possible.
All meals take place in the beautiful Wisdom home's dining area. You are also welcome to bring your own food to prepare, as each home has multiple kitchens for your convenience.
Dietary Accommodations:
Please advise of any dietary needs/preferences in advance.
We will have a questionnaire asking about dietary preferences during registration. We have 2 other kitchens that you can utilize for your own meals if you would prefer.

The mountain has a way of accelerating people’s growth that gets you
where you need to be. Are you ready to awaken the new you?
Here's a glimpse of what we've curated for your personal soul growth.
Day 1 - August 13th: Arrival & Setting the Sacred Space
Welcome to the threshold of transformation. As you arrive and breathe in the mountain air, you’ll be gently grounded through movement, ceremony, and connection. We’ll open the energetic container together, set our intentions, and begin building the sacred altar that will hold our journey.
Day 2 - August 14th: Embracing the Timelessness of Nature - EARTH
Step into timelessness as we attune to the healing frequency of the Earth. With tree rituals, grounding practices, and gentle movement, you’ll shed emotional weight and reconnect with your inner stillness. This day reminds you that you belong to the Earth, and to yourself.
Day 3 - August 15th: Emotional Release & Flowing with Change - WATER
Wade into emotional freedom. Through waterfall excursions, water blessings, and movement meditations, you’ll honor your emotions and release what no longer serves. A powerful purification ritual helps you wash away fear and reclaim clarity.
Day 4 - August 16th: Clarity of Inner Truth Essence - AIR
Silence leads the way as we tune into the voice of Spirit. In sacred gardens and breathwork ceremonies, you’ll receive guidance from your higher self. The air element clears mental fog and deepens your intuitive knowing, inviting you to listen inward and trust fully.
Day 5 - August 17th: Ignite Your Spirit Within with Mama Mountain - FIRE
The mountain calls you into power. We will waltz into Panther Meadow and be surrounded by the beauty and awe of the mountain. Through trails, labyrinth walking, and sunset rituals, you’ll burn away self-doubt and claim your truth. As stars fill the sky, you’ll stargaze and reconnect with your galactic origins.
Day 6 - August 18th: Integrating the New You
Today you embody the transformation you've cultivated. Through soul journey meditation and 1:1 intuitive coaching, you’ll distill the wisdom you’ve received and create a grounded, sacred vision for your next chapter. This is a day of gentle clarity, deep gratitude, and heart-centered planning for how your new self will walk in the world.
I'm convinced this is perfect for me!
🌿 Can you imagine the relief of finally setting down the emotional weight you’ve carried for years?
On this retreat, you’ll gently release what’s been weighing you down through fire ceremonies, sound healing, and the sacred medicine of Mt. Shasta’s elements. You’ll come home feeling lighter, with space to breathe and be yourself again.
🌿 Wouldn’t it feel incredible to stop feeling like you’re “too much” or “not enough,” and just feel free to be you?
Each day, you’ll be celebrated in your wholeness, exactly as you are. In this container of radical acceptance, you’ll dissolve self-doubt and begin to feel a deep sense of belonging to yourself, to this community, and to the Earth.
🌿 How nourishing would it be to feel supported instead of always being the one holding everyone else?
Surrounded by heart-centered women, you’ll experience what it’s like to be cared for, supported, and gently witnessed as you grow. This sacred sisterhood helps dissolve the ache of going through it alone and invites you into a circle where your soul can truly rest.
🌿 Wouldn’t it feel magical to actually enjoy stillness without guilt, pressure, or performance?
With spacious time for rest, reflection, and soul nourishment, you’ll slow down to the rhythm of the Earth and remember what real peace feels like in your nervous system. The result? You’ll return home with practices to sustain your calm long after the retreat ends.
🌿 Can you picture yourself walking on sacred ground, finally trusting your intuition and your path?
As you reconnect with the wisdom of your body, your breath, and the land beneath you, your next chapter becomes clear. You’ll receive guidance not just from mentors, but from within, and take home a renewed sense of spiritual alignment and self-trust.

Michele Newman
Hi, I’m Michele, Priestess of Pure Peaceful Presence. My journey into sacred healing began with a vow to keep my body strong and spirit clear after walking alongside my mother through her breast cancer journey. That path opened me to deep emotional and spiritual truths—especially after years of chasing “normal” in roles that never quite fit: schoolteacher, corporate worker, caretaker.
At 55, I finally stopped hiding and fully embraced my intuitive gifts, stepping into my soul’s mission to uplift humanity one soul at a time. As a Spiritual Director, I now help others reconnect to their divine essence and inner wisdom.
Now, I work with the Galactic Council of Sirius and my Lemurian soul pod from Telos beneath Mt. Shasta to transmit sacred sound codes, angelic frequencies, and spiritual guidance. My voice and crystal bowls become instruments of healing, awakening higher consciousness and deep peace in those ready to transform.
If you feel the call, I invite you to Galactivate Your Higher Consciousness and transform as you tune into your divine purpose with vision, intuition and clarity.
Vivian & Robert Magruder

Together their mission is to hold space for all beings to know themselves as emissaries of love, as well as provide a safe and sacred space for you to experience the energy and magic that Mount Shasta has to offer on your personal journey of self discovery and connecting to your true self.
Ceara Costa
Ceara is the retreat’s behind-the-scenes weaver, making sure everything flows with ease so you can stay present to your transformation. With grounded care and calm presence, she handles logistics, supports guests, and tends to the details that keep our sacred space running smoothly. Her quiet magic allows Michele to focus fully on guiding your journey.
