COME HOME TO YOURSELF RETREAT
(Sunday, 9 August - Saturday, 15 August 2026)
The Come Home to Yourself Retreat offers a transformative experience designed to help participants to root into their inner strength and clarity. Set against the magnificent backdrop of Mt Shasta’s stunning mountain landscapes this retreat provides a supportive environment for reconnecting with yourself, personal growth, healing, and renewed confidence, making it an ideal getaway for anyone seeking deeper self-awareness, connection and balance.
Mt. Shasta stands as one of Earth's most powerful energy vortexes, and is considered profoundly sacred by several Native American tribes, including the Shasta, Wintu, Achomawi, Atsugewi, Modoc, and Karuk. These tribes revere the mountain as a vital source of power, a place of creation, and the dwelling place of spirits or the Creator. Many have also connected to the ancient Lemurian civilization in this highly spiritual place. Rising majestically to 14,179 feet, this dormant volcano serves as a natural temple where the veil between dimensions grows thin, creating the perfect backdrop for our transformative adventure.
The mountain's pristine energy and stunning natural beauty provide an ideal environment for spiritual awakening, healing, and reconnection with universal wisdom. Many spiritual seekers report profound experiences, heightened intuition, and spontaneous healings in this Sasquatch supported sacred landscape.

I recommend you book your flight right after paying your deposit so you have the most options available to you. Additionally, I would book so you can either have a flight credit or refund for peace mind.
Ideally you would arrive around a similar timeframe on Saturday, 9 August 2026 so we can drive in our rental car together to Mt Shasta. You are certainly welcome to rent your own car to have that available to you.
We plan on arriving back in Sacramento, CA around 1pm on Saturday, 15 August. You could book your flight for late afternoon on Saturday, 15 August 2026 or decide to stay with us until Sunday, 16 August 2026. We could not find flights that met our needs from Sacramento to Baltimore on Saturday that weren’t very early or very late. So we have decided to stay overnight in Sacremento and catch a flight on Sunday, 16 August as you see above.
If you decide to take a flight on Sunday, 16 August 2026 we did include the hotel stay on Saturday, 15 August in the overall trip price. Please let us know what you would like to do for your return flight.
The hotel that Sue and I will be staying at on Saturday, 15 August in Sacramento, CA is Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sacramento Natomas. You are welcome to join us.
Additionally, in the days following the retreat Judy will create a picture album to remember your epic adventure that is not included. The album will be available via Shutterfly if you would like to purchase it. You can take a look at the book I created from our trip to Mt Shasta in August 2025 to get a feel for it.
