Ohana Spiritual Awakening 2024!

Update #2 as of June 18, 2024:

Ohana Spiritual Awakening 2024!

There is no better time than NOW to re-center, re-connect, and re-new our bond of oneness- with one another and with All That Is.

For Registration & Passes, visit: Ohana 2024!

We’re excited to update everyone on Ohana 2024 on Sep 6^th – 9^th at Dekkas Rock! 2024 has definitely been an interesting, yet challenging, year. The Earth plane as we know it is shifting and many of us are feeling and experiencing its effects. It’s why our focus for this year’s gathering is “Journeying Within.” 

It’s time to clear that which no longer serves us and re-invigorate that eternal spark within each of us. Together, our collective frequency will create a warm, loving, and safe space where, through ceremony, we can allow old traumas, negative emotions, and unwanted patterns to be brought forward, released, and healed.

Allowing healing energies and frequencies to enter, permeate, and transmute, better aligns us with timelines of our greatest potential and for our highest good. We’re all conduits for Pachamama (Mother Earth) and by raising our individual vibrations, we positively affect the vibration of our communities and the land which we live upon. Ohana, we would be so honored for you to join us on this adventure of self-exploration and collective healing!

Additional Information

*“What’s the Forest Walk and Skywatch at 2:00 AM?” 

It’s a meditative experience with the intention of peaceful contact with benevolent members of our galactic family. Of course, everyone is welcomed to do this completely on their own and when it’s most convenient for them. Starla and I have done this together several times and we follow protocols for clearing, protection, and safety. This is an open invitation to join minds and efforts for a group experience.

Camping

All sites are first-come, first-served. Pets are welcomed! There’s a central paved loop for easy access to sites as well as overflow parking. Trailers up to 16’ are allowed. Sorry, but no RV hook-ups are available. Vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, a few fire rings, and bear boxes are on-site. We’ll set up pop-up showers with rechargeable shower pumps for everyone to use. You’re more than welcomed to use your own camp showers in the pop-ups. Electricity will be limited to our generator, so bring travel batteries to ensure your personal electronics stay charged. Please note that cell phone service is very poor around the campground.

Extra Nights

Starla and I will be arriving on-site on Wed, Sep 4^th for set-up and staying the night of Mon, Sep 9^th to break down the site. If you’re interested in camping during any of these extra nights, please add that option to your pass on the ticketing website. It is $10 per person, per night. 

Meals

All meals are vegetarian and will be provided, beginning with dinner on Friday the 6^th at 5:00 PM. This also includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner for Saturday & Sunday (7^th – 8^th), and breakfast for Monday (9^th). Space for refrigeration will be very limited. If you bring perishable food, medication requiring refrigeration, or have specific dietary restrictions, we’ll do our best to accommodate, but it’d be safest to maintain your own personal cooler. All food must be stored in the provided bear boxes for everyone’s safety.

Raffle & Trade Night

Multiple baskets filled with goodies will be offered for the raffle. The winners will be announced at the fire pit gathering on Sunday evening. For the trade event, bring any items you find interesting! Some suggestions: crystals, essential oils, herbal tinctures, artwork, tarot or oracle decks, candles, pottery, crafts, camping items, etc. Be creative, anything goes! Everyone loves taking home unique souvenirs. 

Spiritual Gift Exchange

There’s more open time in the schedule to allow better access for spiritual gift exchange and exploration. Due to permitting restrictions, goods and services must be barter, trade, or donation only. Card readings, reiki and energy healings, shamanic illumination, and other intuitive services will be offered. Please self-coordinate upon your arrival. 

Groceries, Gas, Alternative Lodging

The nearest grocery store, gas stations, ATMs, restaurants, and alternative lodging options are located in the town of Lakehead (15 mi). Alternate lodging options include: Shasta Lake Motel, Neu Lodge Motel, or multiple properties listed on vrbo or AirBnB. 

Nearby Attractions

Dekkas Rock is located along the banks of the McCloud Arm of Shasta Lake. Feel free to take a dip, cool off, and relax. Depending on water level, it may require a short hike down to the water. There’s also the one-mile Hirz Bay Trail connecting Dekkas Rock to Hirz Bay Campground for those interested in hiking. You can also drive to Hirz Mountain Lookout (3 mi) for panoramic views of Mt. Shasta and the surrounding area. Lake Shasta Caverns (15 mi) is also open for tours (admission fee).

Update #1 as of March 12, 2024

We’re happy to announce Ohana Spiritual Awakening 2024! Come and join us on Sep 6^th – 9^th at Dekkas Rock in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, CA for four days of community, learning, ceremony, and healing!

For Registration, visit: Ohana 2024!

This year our focus is “Journeying Within,” where we’ll also re-connect with our inner-selves through ceremony in order to heal, forgive, and release that which no longer serves us. Now is the time. 

Interwoven throughout the weekend will be elements of the four sacred directions of the Inca Medicine Wheel. From the Ayni Despacho (prayer bundles), fire ceremony, and also a heart-opening cacao ceremony. All healing is self-healing. Together, we’ll hold collective space to allow those healing frequencies to permeate and transmute. When we work on raising our individual vibrations we become beacons that radiate love and healing to those around us. It’s through this ripple effect that we help in manifesting a better world, for ourselves and for future generations. 

This year, we’re allotting more time between workshops for sharing gifts (donation only), exploring the land, hiking Hirz Bay Trail, swimming in Shasta Lake, and for renewing old bonds and making new friends. More detailed information about workshops and facilitators will be posted in the coming month.

For those that attended Ohana 2023, we’re unfortunately unable to use Camp Kimtu. With this year’s focus, Dekkas Rock will provide the perfect setting for ceremony and spiritual connection. The entire campground will be open to our private group only. All meals will be vegetarian. There will be access to potable water, vault toilets, outdoor showers (that we will set up), and limited electricity for charging small devices. Trailers up to 16’ in length are allowed on-site and overflow parking is available. Alternate lodging (Shasta Lake Motel), restaurants, groceries, and gas stations are located in Lakehead, CA, 15 miles away. 

Full weekend passes (all workshops, meals, and camping) are $222 per adult. Single-day passes, children’s passes, and extra nights of camping are also available. For groups with multiple children, or if you have questions, please email us at OhanaSpiritualAwakening@gmail.com. We hope to see you there! Stay tuned for more info!
