Celestial Ascension Retreat
Retreat Description
Mount Shasta is a living threshold, a fifth-dimensional doorway and galactic hub where Earth breathes with the stars. To come here is not simply to visit a mountain, but to be received by a conscious presence that works directly with your field. Within her energy, remembrance begins naturally as old layers soften, light codes are gently received, and the soul recognizes itself without effort or striving.
Held in the liminal beauty of May, when winter still crowns the summit and spring awakens the land below, this retreat invites you into deep communion with the mountain and its elements. Snowmelt becomes rivers and waterfalls, carrying some of the purest water on Earth through ancient glaciers before emerging alive and conscious. Known in ancient traditions as Teacher and honored by Indigenous wisdom as a living vortex, Mount Shasta opens a passage into deep remembrance and alignment.
Over four days, participants are guided through ceremony, teaching, and embodied practice designed to awaken inner knowing, clear old patterns, and anchor higher frequencies into daily life. The retreat begins with an opening ceremony and energetic activations, followed by a professionally guided portal tour of Mount Shasta, including visits to meditation circles and spiritually significant sites with light hiking and driving. A full day is devoted to integration through guided meditations, energetic processing, and a Reiki share, with the retreat concluding in a closing ceremony and gentle departure.
The experience includes housing at the Pneuma Retreat Center, all meals, guided mountain experiences, ceremonies, healings, and a live online integration webinar following the retreat. Travel to Mount Shasta is not included, and accommodations are communal, fostering connection while honoring comfort and privacy.
This retreat is ideal for those seeking spiritual renewal, deeper connection to sacred land, integration of awakening experiences, and community with like-hearted souls. Space is intentionally limited to preserve the integrity of the container. If Mount Shasta is calling you, trust that call.

What to Expect
There are places on this Earth that exist as living thresholds, and Mount Shasta is one of them. She stands as a fifth-dimensional doorway and galactic hub, a conscious being where Earth breathes with the stars. To arrive here is not to visit a mountain, but to be received by a presence that works quietly and directly with your field. Simply being within her energy initiates remembrance as light codes are gently received, old layers soften, and the soul begins to recognize itself without effort or striving.
In May, Shasta rests between worlds and seasons, winter still crowning her summit while spring awakens her body below. Snowmelt becomes rivers and waterfalls, carrying some of the purest water on the planet, water that has traveled for decades through ancient glaciers before emerging alive and conscious. A sleeping volcano holds fire beneath water, anchoring Earth into the galactic field as the root chakra of the world. Known in ancient traditions as Teacher and honored by Indigenous wisdom as a living vortex, Shasta opens a passage rather than demanding a path. This retreat is an invitation to be held by the mountain, supported by the elements, and gently guided into deep remembrance. If she is calling you, it is because you already remember her.

John Nap
John Napolitano is a Galactic Guide, Spiritual Teacher, Akashic Reader, Psychic, Medium, and Healer. His path to spiritual service has been anything but conventional, beginning as a U.S. Marine, then a D.C. Police Officer, and later a Filmmaker. But beneath it all was a lifelong calling to serve and a deep connection to the unseen. After a powerful Spiritual Awakening in 2020, John began seeking answers beyond the physical world. Not long after, he began receiving visitations from Galactic Beings, triggering a profound Galactic Awakening. This opened the door to the Galactic Akashic Records, higher-dimensional connections, and a deeper understanding of soul journeys beyond Earth. Today, John helps Lightworkers and Starseeds awaken their gifts, heal karmic patterns, and reconnect with their true multidimensional selves.
