5-Day Personal Wellness & Grief Healing Retreat in Mount Shasta

The Radiant Essence retreat is a five-day, private healing immersion for women, set at the base of Mount Shasta in Northern California. It is a one-on-one experience, meaning you'll have Heather Moyer's full, undivided attention throughout your stay. The retreat is designed specifically for those carrying guilt, heartbreak, unresolved grief, or the weight of a life transition, and it offers a structured, compassionate space to begin untangling those threads. The setting is key. Mount Shasta is considered a global energy vortex by many spiritual traditions, and the retreat is based in a private house or cabin among the pines, chosen for its serenity and seclusion. The land itself is part of the healing, and the itinerary includes guided silent walks, sunrise meditations, and visits to crystal springs.

Each day follows a thoughtful rhythm. Mornings start with sunrise elixirs, grounding practices, and a nourishing breakfast. Mid-mornings are dedicated to heart-opening workshops and group sessions, which might involve grief coaching, guilt-release rituals, or nervous system regulation techniques. Afternoons are more spacious, with time for private 1:1 sessions with Heather, a massage, a sound bath, or a forest-bathing excursion. Evenings wind down with integration circles, restorative practices, and chef-prepared dinners. The entire program is flexible, so you can go at your own pace, and personal sessions are always available for whatever comes up.

Heather Moyer is a Certified Grief Educator, Grief Movement Guide, and former kindergarten teacher who founded Heather Moyer Wellness in 2020. After the sudden loss of her own son in 2022, she has dedicated her work to helping other women navigate the complex terrain of grief and guilt. Her approach is hands-on, nurturing, and practical. She talks about her past retreat guests by name, and many reviews highlight her individualized care and ability to create a safe container. Her philosophy is simple: we all have the power to heal ourselves, but often need the right support to access it. This retreat is that support, wrapped in luxury and nature.
