Everything about this retreat was so special. And this is why; The care and intention Joshua put into curating this retreat were evident in at every turn. From the thoughtfully designed meal plans to the workshops and meditations, each aspect was carefully chosen to enrich the entire experience. The excursions he organized were breathtaking, and the sanctuary orchestrated for ceremonies was nothing short of magical. Everything was set up for us to “receive”.

The team he assembled is made up of some of the most supportive, kind, and inspiring individuals I’ve ever met. Each one brought their own unique gifts and backgrounds to the retreat, but together they formed a harmonious collective that guided us through some of the most transformative nights of our lives. Their acts of service, kindness, and dedication to our healing left a lasting and unforgettable impression on me.

The retreat center itself is truly extraordinary. It’s designed to enhance connection, with plenty of communal spaces where meaningful conversations naturally unfold, yet it also offers private nooks where you can retreat for quiet reflection. The gardens and overall layout are magical, crafted with such care that moving through the space feels like a transformative experience.

(The retreat gave me insights into aspects of myself that I had been blind to for so long. I realized that while my "drive" may have appeared strong and independent to others, it was accompanied by a sense of being “pampered” in my relationships—a dynamic I had unconsciously negotiated for an easier path. This revelation highlighted the very thing that has been holding me back from truly thriving. It was a big “ah hah” moment when I looked back and could see it had been driving my destiny for decades. This retreat really helps you understand yourself. )

Everyone who attended now feels like family to me, and I miss them dearly. What we experienced together was unforgettable, and it has created a special connection that will last for years to come.

It’s hard to imagine anything topping this experience, but talking to return attendees, I learned that their return visits deepen the insights and healing even further. To have another week like this in the future would be a true gift, and I can’t wait to return next year.

If you’re considering making an investment in yourself, this is the place to do it. You will leave forever changed, touched, and improved. Thank you, Joshua, for creating this life- altering experience.

**A Transformative Week at Mount Shasta**

Arriving at Mount Shasta felt like coming back home. The property immediately puts me in automatic Zen mode, making it a place of peace and tranquility. Leaving, however, is always hard because time flies when you're having fun.

The community of people Joshua brings together are truly heaven sent. This was my third retreat with Joshua and his team, and my own community has grown significantly because of it. I've never met groups of people who are more loving, safe, and supportive.

Leading up to the retreat, I felt incredibly prepared and informed. Joshua provides us with everything we need to feel comfortable and prepared. The two Zoom calls we had set us up for success, covering what to expect, intentions, preparation, and even what

to pack. The property is sacred and created with love and intention. The food was specially curated for this trip and accommodated all requests. It was healthy, hearty, and made with love. The ceremony event and space were thoughtfully curated and tactfully created to ensure a safe and healing environment. Each of the facilitators brings something special to the table. I love their diversity, their passion, and their hearts. I have never felt safer or loved by a group of strangers before.

I have been on a healing journey for a couple of years. This is my second time sitting with the medicine, and every time, I am blessed with gifts I didn't know I needed or messages I didn't know I could hear. Grandmother is the greatest teacher of all, and I feel blessed to have been her student and been in the company of Joshua, his facilitators, and my fellow attendees. I can't wait to come back again.

Love and light,

This is my second year in a row coming to Joshua's Mount Shasta retreat and I'm so grateful and joyous for the experience. It is life changing because I get to bring home into my life all the beauty and magic that transpired and nurture myself and others with it. I feel like I have newfound eyes in which to see because of the pure love that was held within our space by the earth and the intentions of Joshua and all that facilitated - you know who you are! Joshua's team were all so beautiful and unique, and offered their gifts with heart and passion. Through the activities like past life regressions, giving and receiving crystal healing, and speaking/dancing authentically, all allowed me to retrieve soul fragments. The offerings were amazing, wholesome and enjoyable on a soul level. Thank you all! The food was incredible too and just what my vessel needed to cleanse and receive earth mother deeply.

It's challenging to use words to describe the profundity of the healing that grandmother (plant medicine) has given me. People who have never interacted with her may call her a drug, but the facilitators here, who work with her in sacred healing through ceremony, refer to her as a doctor. She is powerful and truly knows best. It's empowering to come with intentions and to know where healing needs nurturing in your life but allow space for deep trust of her seeing and knowing what you need. You are her child whom she loves, and it's true when they say that a Mother's Love Knows Best.

I would most definitely come again. I'm deeply appreciative of the integrity of the facilitators for Grandmother Medicine, the land, the earth, your healing and

transformation. This is of utmost importance to me. This integral care and compassion as a way of walking is the backbone of magic and possibility.

Thank you, Joshua, for this star gathering and creating endless experiences of divine communion with love. And thank you to Zara, Lumi, Ev, Corinne, Jai, Cristine and Kent for how you pour love unto us! I love you all.
