SUMMARY:Mt. Shasta Remote Group Healing
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever longed to experience the healing embrace of Mama Shasta yet unable to go in person\, this is your moment. From September 21–25\, during my homecoming journey\, I am being called to offer group remote healings paired with Light Language transmissions\, each anchored at sacred sites around this powerful mountain alongside the Equinox. Nestled in Northeastern California\, Mt. Shasta is known as the Root Chakra of the Earth\, a place of grounding\, activation\, and rebirth. \nWe will be working with different portals from our last journey—new sites\, new energies\, and new transmissions—each carrying their own unique activation codes and medicine. \nThese sessions will be a co-creation with the living consciousness of Mt. Shasta\, blending multidimensional healing\, crystalline earth energies\, and channeled Light Language to awaken remembrance at the deepest soul level. Within her sacred mounds\, Mama Shasta carries the crystalline frequencies of Lemurian\, Pleiadian\, Sirian\, and Arcturian wisdom\, woven with the ancestral voices of the land’s indigenous peoples. She is a living temple of activation\, transformation\, and deep soul healing. \nDuring this journey\, we will be anchoring the Lemurian codes of the heart centered\, crystalline waters\, compassion\, harmony with nature and cellular memory of unity consciousness alongside the Atlantean golden solar rays of knowledge\, clarity of purpose\, sacred architecture of thought and solar activation. By moving between them\, we are bridging the heart and mind\, water and fire\, feminine and masculine — restoring a balance humanity once had but lost. We will be embodying and transmitting this integration back into the grid so these two streams of consciousness can flow together again through the collective. When they merge\, they anchor in the New Earth blueprint where spiritual vision (Egypt) is guided by the heart’s wisdom (Shasta). \nDuring this healing activation journey\, we will:🌿 Co-create with the mountain’s energy\, her sacred waters\, forests\, and the animals who carry her medicine \n🌿 Receive three group remote healings\, each anchored at a different sacred site\, infused with light language\, guided transmission\, and multidimensional healing frequencies🌿 Experience visual connection through a video tour of each site\, sent to you along with your healing transmission details \nYou may experience:✨ A profound sense of coming home to yourself and the Earth✨ Clarity and deeper awareness of your authentic soul essence and life purpose✨ Quantum healing with Ascended Masters\, Atlantean\, Lemurian\, Pleiadian\, Sirian & Arcturian blueprints✨ Light language activations to awaken ancient memory and expand your frequency \nYou’ll receive an email by August 28th\, with details for the healings and videos. Together\, we will step into a shared field of remembrance—anchoring light\, receiving codes\, and deepening our connection to this sacred mountain. \nCurious about the Atlantean codes of light?

SUMMARY:Winter Solstice Celebration
DESCRIPTION:The Winter Solstice is one of the most revered days of the entire year held sacred for many cultures. This day in the Northern Hemisphere is where we the least amount of daylight\, the longest hours of darkness as we enter into our winter’s rest. As we align with the cycles of the Earth we welcome this time of rest\, reflection and deep soul nurturing from this chaotic year. Join me in an intimate gathering as we honor this sacred time to pause and co-create a despacho together to offer Pachamama our reflections of the year\, sit by the fire and receive a transmission of bringing in the light. There will be a time of sharing as well as snacks and warm drinks provided. \nA despacho is an Andean cermony where we build a prayer bundle of offerings to Pachamama\, a gift as an energetic exchange for healing and re-establishing divine harmony and protection. This living embodiment of our landscape of life that meets at the level of soul and connects to all creation. Traditionally\, we perform this ceremony on each earth cycle to renew and re-imprint the powers of nature for our luminous body to bring in the light. Each item of offering represents a prayer/gift of power that sparks momentum for energy shifts and profound healing. In this we honor Pachamama\, our ancestors\, our reflections of the year and give it to the fire to transmute what we are letting go/what we wish to bring in for ourselves and the collective. \nWhat to bring: \n\nJournal/pen\nWhatever you need to be comfortable inside and keep warm by the fire\nCamping chair\n\nAddress will be provided upon Registration. \nCancellation Policy: we require 3 days notice for a refund (minus any PayPal processing fees) or to apply your payment toward a future event or session.

SUMMARY:Art of Mindful Tea Blending & Nature Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join Shawn at Greatwoods Zen Community for this special day of mindfulness that invites you to step away from the pace of everyday life and return to a slower\, more attentive rhythm that is guided by breath\, nature and the quiet wisdom of plants. \nWe will begin by gathering in circle with a short meditation to arrive in the body and settle into presence. After brief introductions\, we’ll move into a silent\, mindful walk through nature\, allowing the senses to open and awareness to gently deepen. As we walk\, we practice listening to the wind\, the earth beneath our feet and the subtle ways the natural world communicates. \nReturning from the walk\, we’ll enter a guided sensory meditation with a selection of herbal allies. Through touch\, scent\, and direct experience\, each participant will be invited to intuitively choose the herbs that feel most resonant\, creating a personal tea blend. \nTogether\, we will craft our teas and sit in a simple tea ceremony as the herbs steep. We’ll share about the medicinal and traditional qualities of the plants\, and the long-standing role of herbal tea as both nourishment and gentle medicine. As we sip\, we’ll close in reflection and gratitude for the plant world and the practice of slowing down enough to listen. \nWhat to Expect\n\nShort sitting meditation to arrive and ground\nSilent\, mindful nature walk\nGuided sensory meditation with herbs\nIntuitive tea blending (you’ll create your own blend to enjoy)\nTea ceremony and shared reflection\n\nNo prior experience is needed. You are welcome exactly as you are ~ come with curiosity and a willingness to slow down. All herbs and materials provided. Please dress accordingly for a walk in the woods. \nSign Up HERE \nFacilitator\nShawn McStravick\, founder of Anam Cara Path\, is known for her gentle and intuitive presence\, creating spaces where people feel safe to slow down\, listen\, and reconnect with themselves.

SUMMARY:Reiki Master Re-Alignment
DESCRIPTION:This gathering is an invitation for Reiki Masters who feel called to reconnect\, recalibrate and re-harmonize with Reiki as it is moving now. \nOver the past few years\, many practitioners have sensed subtle but profound shifts within themselves\, within Reiki and within the collective field. Some have practiced less\, some feel their relationship with Reiki has changed\, while others simply feel the pull to receive again. By gathering together\, we amplify our field coherence within a safe space to soften and receive. \nThis offering is a threshold transmission\, an intentional crossing into a renewed relationship with Reiki as it is moving now. It serves as a recalibration of a Master-level field\, honoring the depth\, responsibility and subtlety that come with this stage of practice. Rather than a class or training\, it is a gathering of peers\, meeting in shared presence and sovereignty. At its core\, it is a conscious re-attunement to a living frequency\, allowing Reiki to reintroduce itself in a way that is aligned with who you are today. \nThis Gathering Is For You If:\n\nYou feel called to reconnect or deepen your relationship with Reiki\nYou sense that Reiki has evolved—or that you have\nYou desire a ceremonial space that honors sovereignty\, intuition\, and embodiment\nYou are open to receiving without needing to “do” or “fix” anything\n\nWhat We’ll Explore Together:\n\n\n\nGrounding and opening the ceremonial container\nReiki as a living\, evolving intelligence\nReiki symbols review beyond form and memorization\nA guided Reiki Master re-attunement / re-harmonization\nIntegration practices to anchor the transmission\nSpacious time for reflection\, embodiment\, and listening\n\n\n\nRegister below or pay via Venmo (@shawnmcs). This experience will unfold intuitively\, allowing what your highest self and Reiki are ready to call through now. While this will be in person\, there is the option to join live through Zoom and or receive recording.  \nPlease Note: This offering is open only to Reiki Masters. It does not matter when you took Masters training or who you trained with\, This is not a refresher course or certification. Please arrive well-hydrated\, rested and open to receive as well as allowing a few hours afterwards to recalibrate. The attunement integration may continue for days or weeks following the gathering. \nCancellation Policy: We require a minimum 3 days notice for a full refund (minus any PayPal processing fees) or it can be applied toward a future event/session. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice are not eligible for a refund.

SUMMARY:Awakening your Inner Child ~ Spring Retreat
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of our busy lives\, it’s easy to lose touch with the hidden tears\, laughter\, and wild playfulness of the child within us. Many of us have learned to turn away from the more difficult moments of our childhood. Through mindful self-compassion and the support of a safe\, loving community\, we are offered a precious second chance. \nTogether\, we can meet our inner child with the love and understanding they have always needed—and still do. Spring invites us into creativity\, play\, and renewal. We step into that invitation as a shared practice. \nThis retreat is a gentle return home. We welcome the rich and often-forgotten dimensions of our inner child—where fearless connection and innocent belonging can emerge through raw expression\, compassion\, and joy. Here\, it is all welcome: to be shy or expressive\, to laugh or cry\, to sing\, to move\, to feel uncertain\, or simply to be. \nGuided by mindfulness practice and held by experienced facilitators\, we create a space where each of us can feel supported and safe. We will walk in nature\, sit in stillness\, and tenderly meet the deeper layers of our emotional world. We will play\, explore\, and create—perhaps rediscovering forgotten joys along the way. There may be moments of quiet reflection\, and moments of spontaneous laughter. \nWe come together not to perform or fix anything\, but to reconnect—with ourselves\, with each other\, and with the simple aliveness that has always been here. \nWe look forward to sharing this space with you. \nLocation:\nGreatwoods Zen Sangha House\n2631 Buckleigh Drive\, Charlotte\, NC \nNOTE: This is a non-residential (commuter) retreat. Participants return home each evening. \nSchedule:\nMay 22 (Friday) 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM\nMay 23 (Saturday) 10:00 AM – 7:30 PM (Vegetarian lunch and dinner included)\nMay 24 (Sunday) 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM (Vegetarian lunch included) \nPlease bring one or two of your favorite childhood snacks. \nWhat to Expect:\nWe will be guided through mindfulness\, self-compassion\, somatic\, and creative arts practices.
