Mt Shasta 7-Day Embodied Couples Retreat
June 7-13, 2025
This is an opportunity to spend a magical week with your beloved sharing the practices of yoga, movement, adventure & connection. Allowing yourselves time and space to fully immerse in the profound Love that exists within you, your partner and the sacred union.
Throughout this journey, you will acquire essential tools that foster a deeper connection, enabling you to engage with each another with greater presence and loving communication.
Mount Shasta is known as the root chakra of the earth and revered as a sacred mountain by the local Wintu, Shasta and Karuk tribes. Hestia’s magical 10-acre retreat sanctuary welcomes you with a flowing creek with healing mineral waters. We are offering cozy creekside accommodation in 20-foot yurts, and deluxe glamping tents.
Our intention is to immerse you in the nature of yourself, supported by the nature of this powerful land.

Discovering
Our Design
Bonus
In a preparation for the retreat, you will have an online personal couples session with Gene Keys and Human Design specialist, Mark Bentley.
The wisdom of what our Designs reveal about how we relate to ourselves, our partner and the world, will be integrated into our retreat program. According to Human Design and Gene Keys, we all have a unique Design Profile as a human, based on our time and place of birth.
How our individual designs meet one another can give a powerful insight into how we relate and where conflict or discomfort may arise.

Our 7 Days Together
Day 1 - Welcome
Arriving at the magical Hestia Retreat Centre, nestled at the foot of the majestic Mt. Shasta, California, you will find yourself enveloped in nature’s tranquility.
After settling into your intimate sanctuary, we will gather in the 30’ Mama-Yurt for a Welcome Ceremony, marking the beginning of our transformative journey together, opening the gateway for the magic to unfold.
Day 2 - Where Are We?
Before moving forward with deep integrative action, it is important to know where we truly are.
Today, we ground into the present moment, starting our daily morning practice of yoga and embodied movement before separating the men and women for the first session, and combining the group to share together before a nourishing lunch.
In the afternoon we hike Mt Shasta - expanding our sense of location and basking in the beauty around us.
Day 3 - How Did We Get Here?
Our relationships with ourselves and our partners are profoundly shaped by the relational dynamics we have observed in our surroundings, e.g. media, peers, and most significantly, the relationships we witnessed with our family.
After our morning practice, we use the Gene Keys to see what patterns are part of our DNA and how we can integrate the gifts of our design to relate with more ease and grace.
Day 4 - Bathing in Love
It all comes back to Love!
Love for self,
Love for your partner,
Love for Life itself!
Today, at the half way point, at the centre of it all, we take a moment to rest in Love via an afternoon adventure to Heart Lake. After the opening of the previous days, we share hearts that are more available to Love.
Day 5 - Opening to New Possibilities
Today is about opening to Love and giving it voice.
Every moment is a choice to do something the same or to do something different.
Today we journey into our capacity to move through discomfort for the sake of growth, so that we can create fulfilling relationships and connections.
Day 6 - Heating Things Up
Today we explore the "hotter" elements of relationship and discuss intimacy or "into me, see".
Using the basic Tantric concepts of presence, self-awareness and relating beyond the physical, we expand the ways we can share.
In the afternoon we gather together to relax into the warm waters of nature at a local hot springs.
Day 7 - Fly Like Birds
Our intention is that you not only have a magical week away with your beloved, you also walk away with your wings wide open!
We are all incredibly blessed in the knowing that we have an influence in how we experience the world. With the tools and gifts received over the last 7 days, and anchored in our closing ceremony, you are well equipped to take on your future together.
We can’t wait to watch you fly
with your feet firmly planted on the Earth.
In Love,
Jason & Kate
Integration
As our transformative journey at the retreat comes to a close, the next essential step is to integrate your insights and experiences gained during our time together into your everyday life.
This process is crucial for ensuring that the growth and connection you’ve fostered here continues to flourish in your relationship.
