7-Day Deep Dive into the Psyche and the Soul

Fall Sabbatical Week with Dr. Kinshasa Bennett

October 9-15, 2026
MOUNT SHASTA, CALIFORNIA

 

As we deepen into the yin of fall and new moon in virgo energy, we will drop in with ourselves, the land, and our community. 

What seeds to we need to plant in order to deeply rest this winter?  What needs discerning, releasing, reclaiming and renewing?

In this special sabbatical week, you will be guided to self-reflect, practice devotion with nature, and work with your own energies to rest your mind and body.  This journey is designed to prepare us for the deep rest that the winter calls for while balancing what we need to grow and dream and take care of in our lives.  

Together, we will dive deep to retrieve our purpose, our belonging, and reclaim our intuition.


WHO IS THIS ExPERIENCE FOR?

This special sabbatical week is for you if you're ready to:


WHAT WILL IT FEEL LIKE?

Imagine yourself slowing down to be immersed in nature… resting, daydreaming and stargazing for a week or even longer. Give yourself permission to shift from “doing” to “being”. Bring silence to your planning mind and allow your intuitive spirit to guide you back home to yourself. Sleep in an intentionally designed space for deep, restorative rest. Play, create, and vision whenever the inspiration strikes.

Receive targeted guidance from our masterful team of space holders who can help bring greater awareness to an area of your life you’d like to revitalize. Together, we will bring sacred ritual into your daily routine through our toolkit of practices, inquiry questions and unique approach to accelerated transformation.

Enjoy a total life reset with this custom curated journey just for you on our sacred land. Our spaces are intentionally attuned for your inner exploration and accelerated transformation.

 

I incorporate ritual, indigeneity, and authenticity into my life as a Buddhist and hold the sangha in my heart.
— Dr. Kinshasa Bennett

Known as the root chakra of the earth, Mount Shasta is revered for centuries by the Wintu, Shasta, and Karuk peoples. Ten acres of enchanted cedar, oak, and pine forest, laced with a healing creek that flows year-round. A powerful constellation of meditation and spiritual retreat spaces, crafted from the land itself. The kind of quiet that reorganizes you from the inside.

For one week, you have the space and a dedicated team devoted entirely to your healing and transformation.

Maybe you are exhausted in a way that sleep hasn’t touched.

Maybe you are navigating a life transition and you need more than a weekend to feel your way through it. Maybe you are deep in burnout recovery and ready, finally, to invest real time in yourself.
