About this retreat
🌟 All-Inclusive Mount Shasta Maha Shivaratri Retreat - Immersive Music Meditations 📅 Dates: February 21st-24th, 2025 📍 Location: Mount Shasta, California Celebrate Maha Shivaratri with us—a night of spiritual renewal and transformation. This retreat honors the Lord of Transformation, Shiva, through music, myth, meditation, and immersive rituals. During this sacred time of year, Maha Shivaratri, we’ll explore deep inner work and spiritual awakening, offering a blend of transformative workshops, sound healing, nature experiences, and connection to the divine. ✨ Significance of Maha Shivaratri? Maha Shivaratri is considered one of the most auspicious times for spiritual growth, where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is thinner, allowing for heightened introspection, healing, and transformation. It’s a time to reflect on personal growth, connect with your higher self, and rejuvenate your spiritual journey. 🌎 The Connection Between Maha Shivaratri & Mount Shasta With Mount Kailash being the abode of Lord Shiva and considered the Crown Chakra of the world, and Mount Shasta known as the Root Chakra of the world, the connection between Maha Shivaratri and Mount Shasta is profound. What better way to experience this magical energy than at our stunning 5-acre estate, offering breathtaking views of Shasta Lake from nearly every corner? 👥 About the Facilitators 🎼 Anton Mizerak 📖 Anton studied History of Religions with a phenomenological approach, earning his MA from UCLA.

What people say
Shared by the host
I have known Anton and Laura for over 15 years. We first met when Anton was providing musical accompaniment for the services in the Chapel at the Asilomar Conference for United Church of Religious Science (now Centers for Spiritual Living). We have co-presented Meditations based on the wisdom contained in all of the World’s Religions. Anton’s and Laura’s deep study of the sacred music from around the world allows them to create an atmosphere of spiritual depth through song, chant and music. They use many different musical instruments to create authentic melodies from many diverse cultures, which give the listener the opportunity to move deeply into spiritual experience. It is common for them to recreate the sounds of ancient Tibet, Mongolia, Southeast Asia, the Celtic regions, Indigenous Peoples around the globe along with religious music from all of the world's religions.
I have also been a participant in many of their workshops which draw on spiritual wisdom, story telling, visual technology, as well as their music. Again they create an atmosphere for each person to gain new incites, heal old wounds, and expand spiritual experience. Because of their educational backgrounds and continued personal study they are always growing themselves which means there is always something new to learn from them. I have deep respect for them both as teachers, facilitators and spiritual beings, who freely share their wisdom.
