Mt Shasta- The Return
September 3–6, 2026
Come immerse yourself in the mountain’s restorative presence — this all inclusive retreat is a gentle invitation to slow down, soften, and nourish your whole being.
This fall, as we prepare to step into the equinox, we warmly invite you to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your inner rhythm.
This retreat is designed for nervous system regulation, embodied presence, and deep rest, held amidst the grounding, supportive energy of Mount Shasta’s sacred landscape. Whether you’re ready to release stress, deepen your awareness, or simply just be with compassionate support — this space is here to meet you.
Here, you’re welcomed exactly as you are — no pressure, no performance — just space for your system to breathe, rest, and reorganize with care.
What You’ll Experience
Throughout our time together you’ll be gently supported to:
- Reset your nervous system through somatic practices that invite regulation and ease.
- Reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom through mindful movement, breathwork, and guided self-healing techniques.
- Rest in community with heartfelt connection alongside spacious periods of reflection and quiet.
- Experience nature’s presence in mindful walks, intentional pauses, and the grounding energy of Mt Shasta.
This retreat is not about doing more. It’s about returning to a felt sense of safety, clarity, and embodiment — where your nervous system can unwind and reorganize in its own time.

The Work at the Heart of This Retreat
At the core of this retreat are four group Spinal Flow sessions—a gentle, hands-on technique that works directly with the spine and nervous system to help the body release what it’s been holding. These sessions support the unwinding of stored emotions, trauma, and tension, while also addressing structural imbalances that contribute to pain, fatigue, and dysfunction.
Though done in a group setting, each session is personalized. You’ll be supported by two trained facilitators who move through the space, responding to the needs of each participant while maintaining a cohesive and grounded group field.
Many describe the work as a powerful emotional release, a reconnection to their energy and breath, and a noticeable shift in how they feel physically—more open, aligned, and alive. Spinal Flow helps you regulate your system, restore balance, and reconnect to your body’s natural ability to heal, transform, and fly.
What is Spinal Flow?
Spinal Flow, developed by Dr Carli Axford, is a gentle, hands-on healing modality that works directly with the spine and nervous system to release stored stress, tension, and trauma. Through precise contact with spinal access points, your body’s natural healing intelligence is activated—restoring flow, vitality, and deep regulation.
Participants describe it as a return to safety in their body, a powerful reconnection to energy, and a deeply emotional yet easeful form of release.
This Retreat Is For You If-
- You’re craving space to rest and reset without pressure or performance
- Your nervous system feels overtaxed and you long for true regulation
- You want to reconnect with your body, breath, and inner rhythm
- You’re drawn to intentional living, seasonal nourishment, and energetic healing
- You value both community and solitude—space to be held, and space to roam
- You don’t need to have “it all together” — all you need is a willingness to show up as you are.
Thank you for being so kind & loving. What I received: healing movement & pain relief in my lower back. Calming flow energy. Greater awareness within myself. My favorite memory: when I woke up the first morning & walked down the stairs outside, Brooke met me with a big hug. It brought safety to my heart & acceptance I did not realize I needed.

The unmistakable imprint of Mt. Shasta’s magic
This retreat was not an event or an isolated weekend. It was an intentionally crafted experience that offered tools to carry into our daily lives. Not only did it offer the Spinal Flow release, but it created ways to expand our own allowance and not let the experience end with the return home. This was a true return to self beyond what I came in expecting.

10s across the board. AMAZING. 1000% exceeded expectations. Everything was perfect. Felt well planned & intentional. The flow without hurry felt comfortable & not stressed. There are so many ‘retreats’ offered in the trends today but what truly feels like set this apart is the experience. I loved not having to go anywhere. More than just a training or instruction or a workout… it was a life experience.

I totally enjoyed how you work with each other so cohesively to bring forth so much combined wisdom & magic that’s absolutely greater than the sum of you both! So much love.

This was an amazing weekend. Spinal Flow, Yoga, delicious food, the power of Mt. Shasta… I feel cared for, loved and supported. I was able to completely let go, be me, flow, and fully receive. I can’t wait to do it again and am so excited to stay connected to everyone. PERFECT size of the group. It allowed us to get to know each other and to get to know myself more too.
