Ceremonial Wilderness Inner-Work
From personal, deep work intensives
to group guided retreats.
Nature-based wilderness intensive experiences to guide you through the portal of major life transitions.
Through thoughtfully designed programs, my goal for you is to help you embrace the changes that occur in you life and walk through that doorway of transformation.
Mount Shasta is a unique and special place in the world - just as much as You are unique and walk a special path on the Earth ~ which is why your guided journey to the Mount Shasta Wilderness and Sacred Places (vortex areas) should to be just as unique as you.
That is why I guide and coach every person, couple or group individually - starting your journey before your visit with a 30-minute pre-booking call - and then a plan, length of time, and the order by which we go to and interact with the sacred places is choreographed into a true Rite-of-Passage ceremony time uniquely yours. Or, another option is joining one of my pre-scheduled guided groups,.

What is a Rite-of-Passage?
Rite-of-Passage is an event bringing about a major change or doorway in an individual's life.
Indigenous cultures since earliest known times have embraced this change of one's life with conscious recognition of it's importance through ritual and ceremony, very often with teachers compassionate and experienced in helping one not remain in the Void but completing their soul's journey into this new chapter of life.
At their most basic, all rites of passage are characterized by three distinct phases:
Separation - leaving the familiar,
Transition - a time of testing, learning and growth,
Return - incorporation and reintegration.
Rite of Passage Wilderness Intensives
1 to 5 Day Wilderness Outback Backpacking for Creatives, Visionaries and those seeking a new foundation of knowing themselves in the world.

Michael Chudzik heard his first call to Mount Shasta for a solo 7-day vision quest in a deep January winter, 2009.
​
A visionary shift was taking place in his life - and at that time, a veteran of the vision quest through Native teachers, lifelong wilderness trekker, 30-day wilderness survival trained, NLP Master Coach and psychic hypnotherapist - he knew there was no saying "No", regardless of the time of year it was if this was what the Void wanted to keep the shift going,
From that time and the past 15 years, Michael has had a strong and loving heart-connection with Mount Shasta and the spirits of the ancestors who lived here for over 5,000 years, as well as good friends today with many members of the 5 Nations of the who are the ancestor's and the Mountain's First People.
​
Nature-Based Coaching and Rite-of-Passage are to Michael the most important path of bringing human beings home the the remembrance that we are first of all ancient souls meant to come to Earth and share our gifts to the expansion of the great Creation.
​
Michael has been a vision-quest and rite-of-passage guide, as well as ceremonial adjunct to South American, First American and other retreat leaders visiting Mount Shasta, Oregon Cascades and Arizona wilderness places since 2007.
