Exploratory Hikes: Pack a lunch, bring your day pack and come explore the wonders of the second highest mountain in the Cascade Range with us. Hike the varied low elevation terrains (8,500’ and below) of 14,179’ Mount Shasta, including the Old Ski Bowl Trails, Wagon Camp Road, Grey Butte, Green Butte, Sand Flat, lower North Gate trailhead and much more. Discover hidden springs, meadows, old growth forests, alpine wildflowers, the mountain’s unique geological history, and the still peace and quiet to be found away from the maddening crowd.

Discover the many natural treasures hidden in The Eddys mountain range, Deadfall Lakes, Gumboot Lake, Lake Siskiyou, Castle Lake, Castle Crags, Widow Springs and more. Enjoy the many enticing waterfalls of the Sacramento & McCloud Rivers and take a dip (if you dare) in their cool, refreshing alpine waters. Let us know what you’d like to experience, and we’ll do our best to help you accomplish that. Or, let Ashalyn surprise you by taking you to one of her favorite spots.

Sacred Site Treks are light 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. Treks may include guided meditations, toning, learning to communicate with the nature spirits, accessing the healing power of nature, hearing Ashalyn’s poetry, intuitive messages received from Spirit, and local myths, legends and history.

Snowshoe Meditation Tours are the same as Mt. Shasta Sacred Site Treks listed above, only they’re in the snow and you’re wearing snowshoes. Have you ever heard the snow fall? Winter adds a whole new dimension to your sacred Mt. Shasta journey.

Healing Earth Journeys: Reconnect with the healing powers of the Earth elements - Earth, Air, Wind and Water. An experiential guided healing meditation at a local sacred site, inviting these elements and the spirit of the Earth Mother to assist us in realigning with the cycles of nature, the Oneness of All Things, and for healing and balance of our body, mind and spirit. Journaling and discussion encouraged to integrate lessons learned.

Sacred Springs Tour: Everything in nature has a symbolic meaning. Natural springs represent connecting to one's Source. When approaching the site following one's own spiritual preparation and intention, these places have the ability to bring forth deep healing and understanding...the extent of which is really up to each person.

High Holiday Celebration Tours occur eight times a year - every 45 days - for observing the ongoing cycles of The Earth Mother. Their names and approximate dates are: Candlemass on February 2, Spring Equinox on March 21, May Day on May 1, Summer Solstice on June 21, First Harvest on August 1, Autumn Equinox on September 23, Celtic New Year on October 31, and Winter Solstice on December 21. Celebrating these events with conscious intent brings blessings, not only for us personally but for all living things in nature and helps us realign ourselves to the rhythms of nature. These are times to renew ancient rememberings that we are no greater than the trees, the birds or the gentle deer.

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! Ashalyn will step into your vehicle and guide you to scenic waterfalls, lakes and mountain vistas while entertaining you with local history, myths and legends about the Mount Shasta area. . . a photographer's dream!

Step-On Bus Guiding involves stepping onto your bus full of passengers and directing you to beautiful, scenic and historical sites in the Mount Shasta area. Ashalyn will also entertain you with local history, geology, legends and stories about the area. Photo opportunities abound! Short walks and guided meditations are also an option, for those interested. Gourmet bag lunches are available on request.

Soul Communications Sessions are 1-hour taped sessions for individuals or couples that assist clients in gaining clarity, insight and direction in their life. Sessions may include past life regressions, inner child work, shadow work, soul retrieval, foreign entity removal, house clearing, communications with loved ones who have passed over, life purpose information, Akashic Records insight, higher self alignment, spirit guide introductions, and whatever Spirit wants you to hear most in this moment. Clear out the old to make way for the new!


"I absolutely love the Mount Shasta area and sharing it's magnificent beauty with others is one of my favorite past times. My experience of the spiritual energy vortex of Mt. Shasta is that it creates a thinning of the veils between the worlds, making it easier to communicate with the realms of Spirit. My mission is to help people remember who they are and encourage them to follow through on their life purpose and I find Mother Nature a magnificent helper in this pursuit." ~ Ashalyn
