Dan Horton is an adventure guide, spiritual life coach and actor who has been working and studying in the transformational field for over twenty five years. Dan led hikes in Yosemite, Big Sur, Canyon Lands and Arches in Utah, the Dolomites in Italy and many areas of Southern California. He felt “the call” to Mount Shasta in 2019, and finally moved there. Dan spent the next few years during his time there listening to, and connecting with this mystical mountain.

His passion is to be in nature, and facilitate bringing people into the awe-inspiring and multidimensional reality through the vortex of Mount Shasta and the surrounding area. Dan draws upon his spiritual studies at the Philosophical Research Society, Hypnosis Motivational Institute, and Gnostic Society, along with other spiritual traditions, most prominently the Indigenous People’s way of living in reciprocity and harmony with Mother Earth, for every tour that he leads.

Dan sees Mount Shasta as a place of wonder, mysticism and healing, and looks forward to being a part of this magical adventure with each person he guides there.

As an actor and teacher for over twenty five years in Los Angeles, he concentrated on being able to channel whatever wanted to come through him for a particular role or student. Dan applies his listening skills when he’s communing with nature and the elements, or the authentic self and higher dimensional beings, thus allowing whatever messages that want to come through him to be unfiltered and clear in the wisdom they have to offer.

Sacred Site Tours: We take you to vortex, portal, sacred spring sites, etc. to help you experience the powerful energy of those areas. There we lead guided meditations to assist you in connecting with the energy of place and attaining your intentions for the day. Transformation occurs for those who are ready to let go and awaken to their divine self and life purpose. These tours are low to medium impact, 4-hour or 7-hour journeys designed specifically for you or your group at beautiful, serene, awe inspiring sacred sites in the Mount Shasta area.

Testimonials:

I immediately felt Dan’s deep connection and respect for nature and it’s inhabitants. From the instant we met (my brother from another mother) I felt we’d known each other for many lives. Our Mount Shasta journey was life changing, in the most positive way. He has an immense appreciation, knowledge, and respect for ALL. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DAN to anyone seeking a transformational experience that connects you with the Oneness of the Universe.

I’ve been on several adventures and sacred ceremonies led and co-facilitated by Dan, that have been life-changing and even miraculous, as well as life-affirming in many ways. His deep knowledge of the history and biology of sacred sites, nature, and wildlife, as well as his obvious deep connection to the lineages and cultures who preceded us, are heartfelt and truly serve as a grounding for what’s to come. I look forward to our next adventure, wherever the trail may lead.

We went to several vortices where Dan customized what we did to my physical ability, my spiritual connection, and my intentions that lead me here. Since it was raining, hardly anyone was around – which was great – as we respectfully connected to spirit. Several showed up in the misty rain. I especially thank and give love to Green Tara, Merlin, Morgan Le Fey, Buddha, Jesus, Brother Fox, Brother Bear, Butterfly Queen, Lady of the Lake, Bridgitte, Mother Earth, Mother Sun, Mama Mountain, and Isis for surrounding us with love and light, and bestowing us with their wisdom and healing peace. I felt cleansed, uplifted and filled with such beautiful energy and light. Dan’s guided meditations, channel connections and insight made it an amazingly deep, unforgettable experience.

Sacred Site Tours on Snowshoes: The same as a Sacred Site Tour, only offered in the winter time on the snow in Mount Shasta’s winter wonderland. Our tours are done on snowshoes in Winter and early Spring. Winter tours hold their own unique magic, with trees gracefully covered in snow, icicles dripping and snowshoes crunching. Have you ever heard the snow fall? Frozen Castle Lake has been called a “cathedral” by some. If you visit there before the ice is frozen solid, you may hear unique whale-like sounds that are made by the movements of the frozen ice.

Guided Vision Quests: This 7-hour journey includes everything in a Sacred Site Tour and more – focusing specifically on what’s needed for your spiritual growth in that moment. This journey is designed for those who are searching for in-depth personal growth, spiritual awareness, an understanding of life purpose and what your next step might be. State your intention and see where that takes you. At the end of the day, your guide will revisit that intention, help you remember lessons learned, inspirations gained and help you remember what to accomplish next.

Exploratory Hikes: Pack a lunch, bring a day pack and explore the wonders of the second highest mountain in the Cascade Range with us. Hike the low elevation terrains (9,000 ft. and below) of 14,179 ft. Mount Shasta, to discover hidden springs, meadows, old growth forests, alpine wildflowers, and other natural hidden treasures. Learn about the mountain’s unique geological history, and experience the peace of mind that can be gained by hiking the wilderness. Take a dip (if you dare) in their cool, refreshing snow melt waters. Tell us what you want to experience and we’ll do our best to accomplish that. Or, let your guide surprise you by taking you to their favorite places.

Alchemical Activation Coachings: Allows the clarity of your true will to emerge and inspire your most fulfilling life purpose with confidence.
Aka Dua Level 3 Practitioner: Enhances your ability to access and use Qi and your own natural abilities

Dan takes you to the most beautiful places in nature that supercharge the energy in such a way that I have had a profound experience with each coaching session.
