Journey Into the Heart of Your True Nature

Sacred Journey Retreat

You Are the Medicine: A Sacred Journey Retreat
Baja Sur, Mexico

You are lovingly invited to join us for a heart-opening retreat where desert meets ocean and spirit meets soul. In the wild beauty of Baja Sur, nature holds you, mirrors you, and gently calls you home to yourself.

This sacred journey is an invitation to connect with the Earth, with your breath, and with your deepest truth. As you step away from the pace of daily life, you’ll be embraced by the stillness of the land and the rhythm of the sea, creating space for rest, renewal, and realignment.

Together, we will create a safe and sacred space where you can release old stories and all that no longer serves you. Through ceremony, movement, stillness, and song, you’ll be guided back to the medicine that lives within you.

And from that place of clarity and inner trust, you’ll be free to soar—into new realms of possibility, purpose, and presence. This is a journey of remembering. A journey of returning. A journey of rising into who you were always meant to be.

This is your moment.
This is your medicine.
Come as you are. Leave as more of who you are—lighter, clearer, and ready to fly.

The Journey

Have you ever wondered what your primal power feels like? In this serene environment, you will engage in guided dynamic movement practices that invite you to deeply reconnect with your body, fostering a profound understanding of your natural rhythms. Each day will offer opportunities for exploration, reflection, and growth, allowing you to tap into the innate wisdom that resides within.

As you honor your primal instincts and embrace the elemental energies of the ocean and desert, this journey will awaken your spirit, enabling you to feel truly alive in your skin. Through shared experiences and an intimate, supportive community, you will be encouraged to dive deeper into your authentic self.

You will be immersed in the rich culture, art, and people of the towns that surround our retreat. Each location offers a tapestry of experiences that will deepen your connection to the local way of life. From vibrant murals that adorn the walls to handcrafted artifacts sold in bustling markets, the region’s artistry reflects the heart and soul of its community.

As you wander through the charming streets, you will have the opportunity to engage with local artisans who are eager to share their heritage and the inspiration behind their craft. You will sample authentic local cuisine that tantalizes the taste buds, or listen to the captivating rhythms of music that echo the vibrant spirit of the towns. Through these interactions, you will not only appreciate the beauty of the culture but also forge meaningful connections with the people who call this place home, enriching your experience and leaving you with lasting memories of the warmth and hospitality that envelop you in this enchanting setting.

Join us on this transformative retreat and embrace the full spectrum of your being as you step into a more empowered, vibrant version of yourself.

Testimonials

The experience that Teresa and her team facilitated was one of the most profound experiences of my life. I was able to experience the depth of spiritual healing and connection that Shasta has to offer, in a safe, loving and sacred community. Teresa’s commitment and integrity to her own spiritual journey is so apparent in her facilitation and ability to create these sacred experiences. I was honored to share this experience with these women.
Rosie Cerna Shasta 2022 | 2023
I've worked with Teresa for several years now and have had the honor of seeing her evolution as well as my own. Teresa is a thoughtful and intuitive guide. She sensed into everything, including how to pace the weekend, and what activities would serve us most. I believe her calm, grounding energy and her clarity of intention was a catalyst for my own insights and growth. Her strong connection and reverence for nature, and her genuine love and concern for me as an individual, created the fertile soil for my transformation. The trip to Mount Shasta was divinely timed and it was everything I needed it to be. I am so grateful for this experience
Monica Montifiore Shasta 2023
I have been to many retreats and events that have inspired and given me rich insights. And yet, Teresa set up a well thought out sequence of experiences for me to explode into transformation. Starting with an astrological reading that set the stage for what was to come, she planned activities that kept me on tract to stay present. She allowed for changes by following her intuitive guidance, enhancing each step of the experience, all while keeping her focus and desires intact. The facilitators she chose not only mirrored her goals but also mirrored her passion and intention, which made for seamless transitions throughout each day. Most important, I felt free to be myself and experience all that came my way. The food and accommodations Teresa provided, were awesome... nurturing and comfortable. Meals were made to feed my body and my soul. The house was perfect for finding a place to hide out and for gathering in various spots that fit the activity. If higher vibration is calling you, a divinely lead retreat with Teresa may be your answer.
Sharon Araki Shasta 2022
Teresa trusts spirit to guide her when planning group activities, hikes and rituals designed to reconnect us with Mother Earth/Father Sky and our own unique spirit. Her intuition is amazing!!!
Karen JohnsonShasta 2023
This is my second trip to the mountain, and I was not disappointed. Teresa has created a space that is safe and filled with spiritual depth for anyone who is open and willing to expand their spiritual awareness. Each activity is set with a clear intention to evoke healing, clarity, and expansion not only for myself but also for the greater collective. Teresa is an incredible intuitive that can with ease and grace facilitate this journey with compassion, great empathy and love. She created a safe environment that will take you out of your comfort zone and empower you to scale spiritual mountains that you never thought possible. Through this experience Shasta has become a significant touch stone on my spiritual path.
Rosie CernaShasta 2023
Teresa has a way of bringing people together in community, enlightenment, and ritual. From cleansing and purifying waters to visiting sacred sites, I believe, we became one with the mountain and it’s wisdom. She and her staff provided opportunities for education and transformational healing experiences through books, videos, yoga, meditation, massage, and healthy eating. This communal experience offered me the ability to observe myself in a way like never before reflecting on my interaction with others and my own internal dialogue. A highly recommended retreat for anyone who wants to heal and/or expand themselves in mind, body and spirit among community and nature.

The facilitators were always mindful of the group as a whole and of each participant. Each guide checked in with me throughout the retreat. Personally, I think the pace and the mix was well balanced and just enough to keep us out of our comfort zones. Yummy food. Great to experience shared meals..... especially after COVID lockdowns.
