Our Mission and Philosophies
Other than education, the Center's mission to is to inspire, facilitate healing and help connect you to your higher self. Here we believe there are a variety of means to do that and one size does not fit all. That is why we designed these retreats the way we have. So YOU are in charge of your health and healing journey. With us, you choose your own adventure.
We have 3 primary programs we offer, all with additional services you may sign up for. However, at any time you may opt out of any acitivity if your mind, body or spirit needs to do so. But if you choose to dive in wholeheartedly (which we highly recommend), your retreat will include an adventure & sport component, a yoga component and a reiki or massage component. We connect you to your higher self by also connecting you to this earth and its elements, connecting you to your spirit, mindfulness and moving your Qi through all of it for optimal processing and integration.
FAQ's
Deposits, Refunds, Cancels and Weather
We don't control the weather, therefore (similarly to a ski resort), we unfortunately are not able to issues refunds for acts of nature. If the weather does not permit our Vedic Fire Ritual, we will issue you a credit for our next one as we will be offering these more regularly in 2024.
We have limited spots available and have put our heart and soul into planning these experiences for you and our time is valuable. We understand certain emergency situations will arise and we will deal with those on a case by case basis. If you are unable to attend due to a documented emergency, we will issue you a credit voucher for the next time you are able to visit, or you can transfer your reservation to someone else. Last minute cancels or no-shows without an approved emergency documentation will forfeit their deposit.
Can I opt-out of an activity?
We want to be as accommodating as best we can. Therefore, we can offer you SOME activity substitutions (to the best of our ability) if for some reason you are physically unable to participate in one of our included services. For example, if you have a condition where massage is contra-indicated (very rare), we can substitute that for any of our other ala carte services. However, that does need to be discussed and arranged in advance. As these retreats are planned in advance, last minute accommodations may not always be possible.
Tell me more about the Vedic Fire Ritual, Cacao Ceremony and Sound Healing
We will incorporate a Breathwork/pranayama practice based on where the moon is placed based on Vedic astrology. We chant sacred mantras, make fire offerings and move through a sacred ritual together in community. Moving from sound healing straight into Fire Ritual.
Vedic Fire Ritual (also known as Yagya) is a Yagya sacred Vedic fire ceremony and has been used from time immemorial to invoke the Shakti of Agni (fire) to purify, to destroy and to transmute trauma, negative emotion & mental habits, and karma.
Sacred Ceremonious Cacao is used with sound healing as an offering and enhancer both. We honor the earth and cacao, while also blessing it and calling on it's properties to help us open our heart chakras.
Do you include lodging?
Lodging is not included for our 1-2 offerings. For 3-4 days in Shasta and Costa Rica it is included. It is optional for Pacifica retreats.
