Walking with the Medicine Retreat: Deer Mountain Sanctuary — September 24–27, 2026

Join us for a ceremonial retreat at Deer Mountain Sanctuary, north of Mt. Shasta, CA. Tat Erick Gonzalez, Mayan Elder, Kamal B'ey and Aj Q'ij, will hold space for prayer and ceremony, working with the healing plant and fungi allies of Mother Earth through traditional practice.

This ceremony will guide us on a powerful journey of prayer, transformation, and healing, as we strengthen the spirit of gratitude in our lives and deepen our relationship with the sacred plants, fungi, and medicines of Mother Earth. Through this ceremony, we will honor the healing allies of the natural world, invoking their wisdom to support our personal growth, clarity, and renewal.
