with guest healer, Dr. Paul Wang LaC plus breakfast and special dinners with Chef Peter

What aspects of your life need balance and restoration this fall?

Join us in Mount Shasta, the powerful root chakra of the earth, during Fall Equinox 2023, for a deeply restorative sabbatical week to slow down, reset and come back into balance with your body, mind and spirit with our guest healer, Dr. Paul Wang, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.

Equinox is a potent time to transition into a new balance with inner connection, outer community, greater cosmos. We gather for spiritual self-care and grounding ceremony as we deepen into presence during this critical seasonal turning point. We seek to shift our mindsets with refined intention. We inquire into our beliefs with open hearts. We dissolve habitual patterns with dynamic embodiment.

Dr. Wang will share his integration of martial, medical, and mystical paths as our collective story of mythic mastery — a process which actualizes our full potential. Through practical principles and meaningful flows, he will orchestrate a series of three 2-hour morning activation sessions throughout the sabbatical week to harmonize our mind, heart, body with soul, spirit, source.

Enjoy entering into your center, nurturing your original nature, and unfolding the mystery of majesty that is this life here and now.

• Ensoul universal principles through meditation, movement, memetic practices;

• Encounter fellow lovers of solitude, plentitude, gratitude;
