It is never just a tour—it is a felt journey.

Experience Mount Shasta through the guidance of someone who has spent decades in relationship with this mountain and its living landscape.

Thoughtfully created for retreat groups, each journey is woven with local knowledge, sacred places, ceremony, and genuine care to create an experience that is both grounding and unforgettable.

Welcome, prospective retreat leaders.

I'm Connie,

03a35ceb-a083-43d6-83db-f418636a770d.jpg
—certified wilderness guide, fully permitted through the Shasta-Trinity National Forest Service, and licensed psychotherapist.

I am deeply honored at the possibility of collaborating with you to create a truly transformative experience for your retreat participants.

 

My work is rooted in shamanic, cosmic, and existential experience — shaped by decades of ceremony, initiatory journeys, and work with master guides. I walk this mountain in living relationship. I bring not only knowledge of Mount Shasta's sacred sites and portals, but a grounded, intuitive, embodied way of guiding, supported by sound, ritual tools, and a feminine field that is safe, spacious, and alive.

 

My intention is always to support participants in softening, opening, and trusting the unfolding journey — in service of awakening into a deeper New Earth consciousness. I also enjoy weaving in dragon energy and dragon medicine as one of the many available offerings, alongside other symbolic and elemental ways of connecting with the mountain's living field.

Please note: guiding time is calculated from when I park at the first site and ends when I drive away from the last site.

A Felt Journey

When I guide, I bring my sacred sound instruments, medicine tools, and lived relationship with the land and its spirits. It is never just a tour — it is a felt journey, woven with reverence, safety, and magic. I truly believe this will be a beautiful and deeply supportive experience for your group.Included in my guiding rates is up to one hour of consultation and collaborative planning, where we can gently feel into what is most divinely aligned for your retreat.
