Meet Michael Chudzik
Permitted Mount Shasta Wilderness Guide
NLP Master Coach
Rite-of-Passage Facilitator
Welcome. As a US Forest Service-permitted guide of several years - plus living in my 5-acre forest retreat home on the lower slopes of Mount Shasta - I live, work and pray every day on the Mountain.
Working at the crossroads of Mind and Spirit, growing up in nature, and being taught by Native elders in the Medicine Wheel and ceremonial ways since my teens - my greatest gift I can offer is presence and bringing what Mount Shasta and the Great Spirit nourish me with every day, and passing it on to you.
Being called to Mount Shasta,
is no mere coincidence.
It's a summons to your heart.
More than just sightseeing—it's about clarity, healing, or a reconnection with your deeper self.
Perhaps your soul is calling for something more profound—clarity, healing, or a gateway to the next chapter of your life.
Maybe you’ve come to let go of what no longer serves you, or to receive a vision that has been waiting for you in silence.
Or, you simply want to stand in the presence of this sacred mountain, feeling her mystery, and letting her energy awaken what is already alive in you.
However you arrive, I am here to walk beside you.
To sit with you by the fire.
To hold ceremony, conversation, and space for what matters most—whatever your journey is calling you toward.
Let's Talk About Your Journey - whether it's for a half-day, one to three days.
Or, if you are a retreat leader, assisting you in bringing memorable connection and ceremony.
Every journey is unique - and here are some of the ways we can walk together on the mountain:
• Personal Sacred Journey
• Despacho Ceremony
• River, Mountain & Fire Rituals
• Tukuma’na Immersions (camping retreats at my 5-acre sanctuary on the Mountain)
• Retreat Leader Support
- Scroll down to learn more about each of these offerings.
Sacred Site Tours • Deep Nature Immersion
Ceremonial Work • Lasting Changes
Experience the profound energy of Mount Shasta through our guided sacred site tours. Connect with the spiritual essence of this ancient land and gain a deeper understanding of its significance.
