Wellness Escape: Reiki, Yoga & Hiking in Mount Shasta, California

Days at this Mount Shasta retreat start with a Kundalini yoga session and meditation, setting the tone for what's ahead. Kundalini yoga is a physically active style that combines postures, breathing, and chanting, and it's a core part of the experience here. After breakfast, you might have a breathwork session or a Reiki circle, and afternoons often include sound healing with crystal bowls or an EFT tapping workshop. The schedule is full but not rushed, with space built in for rest and integration.

What really sets this retreat apart is the setting. Mount Shasta is a towering, snow-capped volcano that dominates the landscape, and it's been a pilgrimage site for indigenous peoples for centuries. The retreat house is just a short drive from the mountain, and many rooms look out at it. The full-day excursion takes you to some of the mountain's most powerful sites—Pluto's Cave, a lava tube you can walk into, and a crystalline waterfall. You'll also visit Secret Garden, Castle Lake, and Panther Meadows, each with its own atmosphere and legend.

Gisele and Mari bring different strengths to the retreat. Gisele is a Reiki Master with a background in holistic therapy and a warm, approachable teaching style. Mari is a 500 RYT Kundalini instructor who also works as a sound healer, and she brings years of experience working with people in healthcare settings. Together, they create a supportive, non-judgmental space for people at all levels of experience. Whether you're brand new to yoga and energy work or you've been practicing for years, you'll find a welcoming community here.

The evenings are given over to ceremony and reflection. There's a cacao ceremony, where you drink a ceremonial blend of raw cacao, and sound healing sessions that use singing bowls to create a deep, resonant hum. There's also a closing ceremony on the mountain on the last day, which can feel like a powerful way to end the week. All of this is set against the backdrop of a beautiful, quiet part of California, where the night sky is dark and full of stars, and the only sounds are the wind and the occasional bird.
