A Winter Mount Shasta Spiritual Retreat Season with Paul of Venus
As featured on AP News
Winter is a quiet, sacred time on the mountain. On October 20, 2026, Paul of Venus — spiritual teacher, author of The Sacred Rays of God, founder of Mt. Shasta Spiritual Tours and featured guide in the Gaia documentary Call of the Mountain — announced his winter season of sacred gatherings on Mount Shasta and online. The announcement was carried by AP News and nearly 100 news sites.
"Winter is my favorite time on the mountain. Saint Germain is most present, and within Sanat Kumara's quantum field, Lady Venus speaks through diamond light." — Paul of Venus
The season runs from the 11:11 Portal of Love on November 11, 2026 through The Venus Retreat, February 13–15, 2027. If you have been feeling the call to a Mount Shasta spiritual retreat, this is your invitation.
Why Mount Shasta in Winter?
For ten years Paul of Venus has guided seekers from around the world into the forests and energy vortexes of Mount Shasta, which he describes as the goddess of love: a place of stargates, the Ascended Masters, and deep grounding into the Earth.
"Mount Shasta is the goddess of love," Paul says. "When we gather on her, we come together in mission. These gatherings open the heart and connect us with the Ascended Masters and with our star families."
Winter brings stillness. Fewer visitors, snow on the slopes and long, clear nights make it a powerful season for inner work, ceremony and silence. Mt. Shasta Spiritual Tours holds a 5.0-star rating across 170 Google reviews.
