Shasta, located in upper California, is a place people fly to from all over the world to experience awakenings and deep spiritual growth and transformation. It is not just a 'mountain' — but often described as a spiritual portal, a place where earthly and cosmic energies meet and has long been regarded as a sacred mountain and energy vortex. Within this solo episode, Christina shares her direct experience with the mountain’s energy, the profound alchemical process of forgiveness she moved through and all of the medicine and energetic codes that were reactivated within her. If you are on your own journey of awakening and transformation, this episode is most definitely for you!
