Our Sacred Land in Mount Shasta, CALIFORNIA

Hestia Retreat Center is our 10-acre sanctuary located near Mount Shasta, California—one of the most potent healing vortexes on earth.

We are on the sacred land of the Karuk and Shasta tribes. Our flowing creek hosts a rare convergence of purifying red and white minerals symbolizing the union of the masculine and feminine energies within each of us.

Our sanctuary is just a 5-hour drive from Portland, Oregon and San Francisco, California. We are just 1.5 hours ways from two airports (RDD and MFR) and easily accessible by train and bus.

We are only a 5-hour drive from Portland, Oregon and San Francisco, California.
The closest airports are 1.5 hours away in Medford, Oregon (MFR) and Redding, California (RDD).
The closest Amtrak stop is in Dunsmuir, CA. We can help you arrange a local car service from the train stop to our retreat sanctuary.
Unless it’s a special sabbatical program week, we don’t offer group meals.
We understand it can be a hassle to plan your meals while on retreat, so we offer a simple meal delivery service from a local food cooperative as an add-on. Your living space would be stocked with healthy catered food to easily heat up at your convenience. Here’s a sample menu to choose from!
We offer spacious yurts, a creekside eco-cabin, and deluxe summer glamping tents fit for every budget. Each space is designed to feel “private” but is also within 1-2 minute walking distance from the shared bathrooms.
The yurts and creekside eco-cabin all have a microfridge, toaster oven, stovetop burners, pots/pans/utensils, salt, pepper, oil. You will need to bring additional spices for cooking. Complimentary tea and coffee is provided.
Our deluxe glamping tents (available spring/summer/early fall) come with a personal cooking kit with a camping stove. You need to bring your own cooler and ice to store your food in your car like in a campsite.
We have a microwave for guest use in the communal laundry room.
Our retreat sanctuary is most ideal for unplugging, resting, creative visioning. You can expect 1-2 bars of cell service with access to 5 bars just 1 minute drive up the road.
We have basic satellite internet available in one centralized outdoor location. You can ask for the password if you need to check emails.
For more in-depth computer work/zoom calls, you can book a $15 co-working day pass in our private office in the town of Mount Shasta (which is just a 15-20 minutes away from us).
There are 3 toilet/sink combos by the yurts and 1 communal bathroom with a shower by the Mongolian yurt. We have 2 outdoor showers available in the summer under the 30-foot mama yurt.
The creekside eco-cabin has its own private en-suite bathroom and outdoor shower.
We use composting toilets to maintain a light footprint on our land. They are very clean and get serviced daily. Just follow the signs on how/where to sit and you’ll be good!
The sabbatical experience is designed for you to connect with your internal wisdom by being on the land. So the spaciousness and alone time is intentional. Many people realize how much more solo time they need in their lives and dedicate more time and space to themselves after the sabbatical experience.
You will get a group orientation on the group chakra experience on the second day of your sabbatical week to meet others who are on the land.

You will receive quite a bit of support from the Hestia team throughout your week to make sure your needs are met.

If you would like more group time, join our special sabbatical weeks or book additional 1:1 coaching sessions with us to get more in-depth support during your stay.
We offer 1:1 or small group movement, yoga, and dance classes in addition to massage, energy work, sound healing, acupuncture services. Every wellness partner we work with has been carefully vetted and is top notch in their modality!

REVIEWS FROM OUR GUESTS

EILEEN S.

DANA V.

“Hestia is a haven for cozy comfort and clear connection with nature right outside your door and window, creeks, pines, mountains and crisp air amidst the healing that happens both within and without.

I have never eaten or slept so well and truly felt at home in your forest. Much needed. Cannot wait to go back. Thank you so much. With gratitude.”

KAMILAH M.

“When you arrive, you cross a bridge that reminds you–you are at the right place. The place that allows you to authentically connect with…the little things, reflections, fires, and nature.

A reminder of love, compound words and creative journeys. Inspiration wrapped in the stars that metaphors or transitions to a tree with pretty ribbons named Zora. Whose eyes were watching…the flow of inspiration. It was Hestia with a view of Mount Shasta nestled in a pampered retreat between springs and Weed that offered the standard of…Retreat The place of, be, grow, to….Live“

ANGELIQUE L.

“This quiet gem in the middle of the forest is a beautiful, magical oasis. Perfect for respite, relaxation and retreat. A wonderful place for clearing your mind and reconnecting to Mother Earth. And focusing on what is important and creating.

Belinda has thought of every detail and make the experience wonderful with providing local information and providing a relaxing, comforting home environment. Thank you, so much! Namaste.”

MISHA H.

“I cannot tell you how deeply healing it was to stay on your incredible land and in the Mongolian Yurt. There was healing energy everywhere! I could feel magic and healing in my bones as I woke up this morning. So much of the adrenaline and trauma brain had subsided and I felt renewed as did my children.

I particularly enjoyed the little notes of wisdom and playful magic that you have infused the land and tents with. This gave me hope after speaking with so many who are completely destitute. My lungs cleared so much during my time here as the smoke from the fires in Ashland was making me and my children very sick. The beds were extremely comfortable as were the blankets and pillows. It was an extra special treat to walk outside at night and see the delicate lights lining the paths and casting light in just the most loving way to the sink or bathrooms.

My husband and two children were in North Ashland when the fire broke out, we rushed to Talent to evacuate my parents and friends. Many of my friends and extended family lost everything and my parents' home will not be livable for many many months. The collective grief we feel as 2,300 homes were lost is real and having a break after a week of supporting those in need from that was truly healing. I now feel restored and able to jump back into the work of helping the community again.

Blessings Blessings Blessings…”

NOLA KESIA BRANTLEY
activist & trainer

“I am forever grateful for the 3 days I spent on the land you and Peter are stewarding. It was amazing. It was magical. It was spiritual. It was life changing.

I have been healing myself as well as guiding the healing of others over for the past two decades. My area of concentration has been sexually abused and exploited children and youth.

I myself am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and commercial sexual exploitation. I also come from patterns of historical oppression, generational trauma and generational poverty so my connection to trauma and healing is personal, collective and generational.

I found the land you are stewarding to have some of the most healing energy I have experienced, and I am already a person who considers nature my medicine and my church.”

JANINE PEÑAFORT

“I had the opportunity to visit Hestia on the mini-sabbatical retreat this fall during a critical time of transition in my life.

I chose to stay at Hestia because of my love and connection to Mama Shasta and the alignment I could feel from speaking on the phone with Belinda about my intentions and her work in stewarding the land at Hestia. It was a blissful week that I spent meditating, creating, reflecting, and simply being.

The guidance shared at the beginning of my sabbatical helped me to follow my heart and body throughout my time there. I came to deeply value the solitude and connection I felt with each of the chakras on the land, and the beauty of my surroundings.

My return home is full of deeper clarity and rootedness as a result of my time at Hestia. As I navigate the void during this period of time, I am grounded in the lessons from Hestia and knowing that abundance and prosperity are near.

I am deeply grateful to the land and the folks that have listened and contributed to taking care of this special place.”

SCOTT G.

“When I visited Hestia in the spring of 23 from Central Florida I considered it a blessing that this sacred land was allowing me to stay there. I had just reached a point on my spiritual journey where I felt stuck and alone. I have healed so much on my own but there were things I couldn’t heal and I needed help. Belinda and Peter were very kind and conscious land stewards that started me on a journey to self discovery.

My Mongolian yurt was by far the coolest place I have ever stayed and it had a welcoming energy that made it feel like home. The chakra points were perfectly laid out and they help me achieve a deeper realization into my stuck emotions and questions.

The breathtaking land and spirits at Hestia responded to my gratitude on such a deep level that they responded back and showed me exactly what I needed to see. Hestia has changed my life forever and helped me discover my true self.

I am forever grateful.”

NAMIKO

"I had the pleasure of resting into a weeklong solo retreat on the winnemum wintu lands of Hestia. I entered a wintertime cave of healing, cleansing, and support. I am grateful for the opportunity to slow down and listen to my body in a deeper and more consistent way.

This listening was supported by the land and allowed me to open to deeper levels of compassion for myself, for loved ones, and for the pain of the world. The yurt was cozy and comfortable and had everything I needed and more. Belinda, Peter, and Amaya were gracious hosts and checked in on me while also giving me space.

The smell of the earth, the bright starry nights, the sound of the flowing river, and the quality of light through the trees all contributed to an awakening of presence and gratitude in my heart. I could also feel the care and respect with which Hestia is stewarded; it seems the land returns and mirrors back the love received.

I will be back. <3 Thank you!"
