Life is all about balance and mostly about surrender. Through this deep immersion into the consciousness, we offer the possibility to recharge and balance oneself in the Sacred Land of Mt Shasta, California. Surrounded by nature and all her wisdom, you will practice and learn the physical and mindful art of Shamanism, Multi-dimensional being and embark on a journey of deep self-discovery within yourself through the layers of your consciousness.
Facilitator
Through 7 years of dedicated training to actualize his vision and senses of bringing humans into balance with nature and spirit consciousness, Ben studied and worked with Manex Ibar in the Basque Country, Jennifer Menke who is mentored by Native American spiritual elder La’ne Saan Moonwalke, and John P. Milton, one of the grandfathers of the environmental movement.
Ben also spent time in the Andes in Peru with the indigenous elders, Quechua tribes in Ausangate Mountain to learn the wisdom of nature, Mother Earth.
This Nature Quest is designed to support individuals in connecting deeply with the natural world, the inner world, and source. It will include 3 days of teachings, 5 days and 4 nights of all-one time in nature, and 2 days of integration.
During the all-one time, participants will have a very rare opportunity, in our modern culture, to unplug from technology and be free from distractions and cultural pressures. To have a chance to experience this is one of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves as it greatly reduces stress and allows us to come into a relaxed and present state of awareness with all of nature, enabling the heart to open and radiate.

Solo in Nature – A Rite of Passage
During the All-One/Solo time in nature, you will be in one area of about 108 paces in diameter. This is your time to be in union with the natural world. It’s a time to let go of all stresses and pressures from the outside world and a time to be deeply nourished and healed by nature. You will have very little distractions in order to allow you to become more relaxed and present, so that you may open your heart to the beauty of the great mystery unfolding. Many people who go through this process experience deep states of transformation and a shift in consensus reality. It is also an opportune time to learn about the false beliefs that are holding us back from our full potential.
This is our draft plan for the Vision Quest but it is subject to change:
Day 1: Arrival day / Spring water or Lake welcoming / Awareness Training
Day 2: Awareness Training – Breathwork – Relax Time
Day 3: Shamanic Teaching – 1⁄2 day Awareness Training – Breathwork
Go out on All-One solo in the afternoon
Day 4 to 8 include: 5days solo Vision Quest
Day 8: come out of your solo – Talking stick – Medicine Plants Ceremony
Day 9: Integration Time with wisdom & Breathwork
Day 10: Relaxing day and integration – End of your Vision Quest
The retreat will be held on the Sacred Land of Mt Shasta, Root chakra on Earth and Multi-Dimensional Portal. The land offers its own unique support for those who are wishing to be deeply held by the embrace of nature. Located near the Oregon border in northern California, holds the distinction of being one of the world’s preeminent sacred mountains. It is recognized as an eligible Native American cultural and cosmological property on the National Register of Historic Places. Artifacts found in the surrounding area conservatively suggest at least 11,000 years of human habitation, designating this region as one of the longest-occupied areas of North America
Mt Shasta, CA is a very special place and has been regarded as a sacred site by peoples for thousands of years. The land that you will be doing the vision quest on has many sacred stone seats, medicine wheel, Lakes, and Waterfalls, which contributes to the movement of universal energy transmitted through the earth. A necessary ingredient to remove blockages and support deep transformation.
