Movement and breath while the mountain is still quiet.
Mount Shasta, California · September 1–5, 2026
Five days at Mount Shasta, held with intention — a small-group retreat curated by Milena Chernomorets and guided with Lexa, with time for movement, breath, quiet, nature, and honest connection.
The retreat in facts
A letter from Milena
Work, family, the people who rely on you — you carry it well. But somewhere on that list your own name keeps slipping to the bottom.
I gathered this retreat so you don’t have to arrange a single thing: the mountain, the practices, the women beside you, the food on the table, the road there and back. Your only task is to arrive.

The shape of a day
Movement and breath while the mountain is still quiet.
Time outdoors in chosen places around Shasta.

Unhurried shared meals and real conversation.
Meditation, reflection, and the women beside you.

Evenings that end slowly, under the mountain sky.

Some parts of the day are loud with joy. Others are this quiet.
