To Transform Mt. Shasta City into
Thriving, Beautiful Cultural Center
As you know, Mount Shasta is one of the greatest spiritual vortices of the planet, where people wake up to their I AM, and change their lives from entrapment to freedom.
And yet , Mount Shasta city is still relatively unknown and economically struggles, one reason being, the city has been run by mostly conservative people who have not been very open to the spiritual vibe. For example, more than once, proposing a conference or cultural center has been attempted and then blocked by our local government. Even the college of the Siskiyou was turned away, and thus built in Weed. Recently we could not get enough votes to upgrade the parks, which is desperately needed.
When I recently explained to one business man of my intention to bring thousands of people of consciousness to Mount Shasta for the World Harmony Convergence in 2020, he acted disgusted. He said it was ridiculous that people of consciousness stopped the progress of a water bottling plant that would have improved our economy. He then explained he was going out of business, selling his property, and will be moved out of the area by 2020.
Let us not blame, or try to change anyone.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
― Buckminster Fuller
There are some very good reasons to temper economic development here to keep our area pure and special place for retreat from the chaotic cities. Yet, I believe we could use a definite economic and cultural boost. Do you agree? I think the main reason wonderful people live here, and then move away is because there is a lack of culture and prosperity.
In the next 2 years and beyond, I will be encouraging our city and citizens to come together to boost our spiritual tourism in 3 ways: The World Harmony Convergence, Mount Shasta Pilgrimage, and World Harmony Festival all to occur in September 2020.
1. The Mount Shasta World Harmony Convergence … 
is 9 days (Sep 19-27, 2020) when the world will be invited to Mount Shasta to focus on how we can co-create world harmony. Many events will be offered by mostly local spiritual teachers, healers, and musicians. Thousands of international tourists will be able to see every event happening at every venue on the Mount Shasta Magic website.
2. World Harmony Festival Sep 19-27, 2020, will host world famous Spiritual teachers and musicians.We are expecting 3 to 5 thousand people. We are creating an agreement at the Mount Shasta Ski Park. So far Jai Uttal has signed on.
3. Mount Shasta Pilgrimage will be for anyone who needing a life reset, to get free of compulsive behavior and substances and find their 
authentic joy within and higher purpose. The pilgrims will walk 8 days from Redding, or 22 days from Sacramento to Mount Shasta. Every mile they walk will raise money for world harmony charities. When they arrive, their stories will be videoed and published. The beautiful mountshastapilgrimage.org website is scheduled to be complete in the beginning of December, including an amazing video with drone footage.
Expected Income boost to Mount Shasta City from the Convergence
If 3,500 people spend an average of $300 each during their visit; that’s over one million dollars flooding our town. These will be people of consciousness who come to better their lives. With our guidance, they will also respect our pure environment as spiritual tourists normally do.
Furthermore, when we pull this off, an old spell will have been broken and a new paradigm for Mount Shasta business will have been co-created. Mount Shasta CAN be a place of abundant culture. And Spiritual Tourism CAN be RECOGNIZED as essential and reliable form of growing prosperity.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. ― Margaret Mead
Over the years, many wonderful businesses haven’t lasted here. Delicious restaurants have come and gone. Most healers eventually leave to make a real living. Its easy to become pessimistic about what’s possible. Five years ago, Paul Aurell told me he wanted to start an Ecstatic Dance in Mount Shasta. I told him, “Dances have never had lasting success in Mount Shasta,” he laughed in my face. He did not allow my past experience to taint his vision. Now HeartBeat has an average of 30 people show up every Thursday eventing.
Now, if you are willing, we can break the scarcity spell on a wider scale. We, at the University of Mount Shasta have a plan that will lead to finally having a flourishing cultural center, and more spiritual tourism year around. This plan can succeed if it engages enough support. Additionally, as UMS grows, more students will be living here during the wintertime, improving our sluggish winter economy. Do you look forward to having more delicious restaurants and greater choice of cultural activities all year long?
Some of us remember what it was like during Joshua David Stone’s Wesak festival when about 2,000 people of many countries visited. The town was buzzing at a high vibration. There was so much magic in the air meeting these wonderful people from other parts of the world. I am excited about Mount Shasta being a more active international hub for spirituality. Are you?
I am not proposing Mount Shasta become another Sedona or Ashland, where it is hard to find a parking place. Ashland is about 40,000 people, about 10 times our size. Yet, if we had an extra one or two thousand people of consciousness, we would be able to have so much more culture, vegetarian restaurants that stay in business, plays, concerts, etc.
According to my estimate, of the approximate 10,000 people living around our mountain, at least a thousand are spiritual oriented, and would be enthusiastically behind our endeavor to expand spiritual tourism. Will you help me get this letter to them? Let’s put our Hearts and heads together and think abundantly and consciously about the kind of growth we want.
Imagine what would happen if 500 of the 1,000 local spiritual oriented people of consciousness all facebooked and instagrammed people from all over the world to come to the Mount Shasta World Harmony Convergence in September of 2020. I am proposing hundreds of us come together to start an unstoppable movement for conscious progress. Is this idea speaking to your heart? Are you tired of the spiritual oriented people being mostly islands to themselves, just doing their own thing?
What we can do together is much greater than anyone can do alone.
When the people lead, the leaders will follow.
I propose we start inviting spiritual oriented people from many countries to Mount Shasta to share the LIGHT AGENDA during 2020, an astrological time when a major restructuring of power on the planet is predicted. The United States needs a spiritual boost, would you agree? If we can pull off bringing thousands to Mount Shasta in 2020, I believe the morale of the town will change. Spiritual Tourism will be seen with new eyes by even the conservative folk. The interest and money for a cultural center will increase.
We are starting this plan now with building Mt. Shasta Magic website, to be launched in December, 2018. mtshastamagic.org is to have almost everyone spiritually involved with Mount Shasta offering their services and products. (holistic practitioners, musicians, crystal store owners, psychics, spiritual teachers, energy healers, body workers, coaches, counselors, artists, photographers, videographers, spiritual tour guides, non-profits) -VIRTUALLY EVERYONE spiritually connected Mt. Shasta who has a service or product will be on this directory, and will be able to post their events. On the front page will be all MOUNT SHASTA EVENTS, so anyone can know ALL that is happening in our area on ONE website. This website will be $10 to join at first, and always super affordable. The goal will be over 100 people and businesses will be on this directory within one year from now, and two to three hundred by 2020. And here is the most exciting part…
Share your Magic!
All members of Mt. Shasta Magic website will be able to offer videos to the THE MT. SHASTA LIGHT AGENDA Youtube channel. We will be committed to publishing educational videos of you, our members, every week so that you, our Mount Shasta Spiritual Community get the greater exposure to your offerings you deserve. As this youtube group stays consistently active and interesting, it will generate a large audience, increasing the exposure of all our offerings including the coming World Harmony Convergence, Festival, and Pilgrimage.
