About the event

Opening the Lion’s Gate: A Despacho Medicine Wheel Ceremony ---- In a scenic canyon just a few miles below Mount Shasta, you are invited to step into the cosmic gateway with an exclusively small group of 12 individuals, as we open the Lion’s Gate through a sacred Despacho Medicine Wheel Ceremony.
This is more than a ritual—it’s a living prayer that unites Andean and North American traditions.
Together, we’ll move through four rounds of prayer around the Medicine Wheel, honoring the cardinal directions and weaving our highest intentions into a shared altar. Each participant will add personal offerings to this living prayer bundle, which will later be buried in a sacred place near Mount Shasta—creating an enduring connection to the mountain and your soul’s vision. To be held in a private location on the upper Sacramento River for an exclusive-size group of 12 individuals.
Guided by Michael Chudzik, a permitted wilderness…
