🌟 Mount Shasta Maha Shivaratri Retreat - Immersive Music Meditations 📅 Dates: February 21st-24th, 2025 📍 Location: Mount Shasta, California Celebrate Maha Shivaratri with us—a night of spiritual renewal and transformation. This retreat honors the Lord of Transformation, Shiva, through music, myth, meditation, and immersive rituals. During this sacred time of year, Maha Shivaratri, we’ll explore deep inner work and spiritual awakening, offering a blend of transformative workshops, sound healing, nature experiences, and connection to the divine. ✨ Significance of Maha Shivaratri? Maha Shivaratri is considered one of the most auspicious times for spiritual growth, where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is thinner, allowing for heightened introspection, healing, and transformation. It’s a time to reflect on personal growth, connect with your higher self, and rejuvenate your spiritual journey. 🌎 The Connection Between Maha Shivaratri & Mount Shasta With Mount Kailash being the abode of Lord Shiva and considered the Crown Chakra of the world, and Mount Shasta known as the Root Chakra of the world, the connection between Maha Shivaratri and Mount Shasta is profound. What better way to experience this magical energy than at our stunning 5-acre estate, offering breathtaking views of Shasta Lake from nearly every corner? 👥 About the Facilitators 🎼 Anton Mizerak 📖 Anton studied History of Religions with a phenomenological approach, earning his MA from UCLA.
