 Andrew offers:

• Sacred Site Treks

• Guided Vision Quests

• Snowshoe Sacred Site Treks

• Scenic Vehicle Tours

Sacred Site Treks: We take you to vortex, portal, sacred spring sites, etc. to help you experience the powerful energy of those areas. There we lead guided meditations to assist you in connecting with the energy of place and attaining your intention(s) for the day. Transformation occurs for those who are ready to let go and awaken to their divine self  and life purpose.  These treks are low to medium impact, half- or full-day journeys designed specifically for you or your group at beautiful, serene, awe inspiring sacred sites in the Mt. Shasta area.

Snowshoe Sacred Site Tours:Just the same as a Sacred Site Trek, only offered in the winter time on the snow in a winter wonderland! Just the same as a Sacred Site Trek, only offered in the winter time on the snow in a winter wonderland! Our tours are done on snowshoes in Winter and early Spring. Winter tours hold their own unique magic, with trees gracefully covered in snow, icicles dripping and snowshoes crunching. Have you ever heard the snow fall? Frozen Castle Lake has been called a “cathedral” by some. If you visit there at the right moment, you may hear unique whale-like sounds made by the movements of the frozen ice. 

Guided Vision Quests: This full-day journey includes everything in a Sacred Site Trek and more – focusing specifically on what is needed for your spiritual growth in that moment. This journey is designed for those who are searching for in-depth personal growth, awareness, an understanding of life purpose and what one’s next step might be. State your intention and see where that takes us. At the end of the day, your guide will revisit that intention, make sure you remember lessons learned, inspirations gained and that you know what you need to accomplish next.

Scenic Vehicle Tours are for those who aren’t up for much hiking but still want to see as many places as they can in a short period of time. Be sure and bring your camera! Robin will step into your vehicle and guide you to scenic waterfalls, lakes and mountain vistas while entertaining you with local history, geology, legends and stories about the Mount Shasta area.
