The Importance of Traveling to the World’s Vortexes by Shaman Oriah Mirza

There are places in the world where the ordinary laws of time, space, and energy seem to bend. These are not destinations you visit for leisure; they are sacred vortexes—living gateways where the Earth itself amplifies transformation and calls us back to remembrance. At Sacred Earth Retreats, guided by Shaman Riz Mirza and myself, Oriah Mirza, we have devoted our lives to bringing seekers into direct contact with these places because they are more than beautiful landscapes; they are activations of the soul. In these times of uncertainty, distraction, and collective unrest, journeys to vortexes like Egypt, Mt. Shasta, and Sedona are not indulgence, they are medicine.

When you walk into Egypt, you do not simply visit monuments. You are entering one of Earth’s great memory fields. The temples, pyramids, and tombs carry vibrations of civilizations who mastered consciousness, frequency, and spiritual technology. For many, standing inside Karnak or before Sekhmet awakens a deep knowing—I have been here before. Past lives whisper through the stones, and the Nile becomes a mirror of your own eternal flow. Egypt reminds us that we are not only human beings, but eternal souls with a lineage that stretches far beyond this lifetime. Traveling there with us is a pilgrimage into remembrance, guided by Riz’s trance channeling and my own shamanic presence, where every site becomes a ceremony.

At Mt. Shasta, the call is different. This mountain is alive, crystalline, vibrating with the energy of the planet’s Root Chakra. For thousands of years, indigenous peoples and mystics have revered it as a meeting place of heaven and earth. Here, seekers feel a homecoming in their very cells. The air feels charged, meditations reveal hidden dimensions, and dreams become messages. Many feel the Lemurian presence—the keepers of ancient wisdom—still alive within the mountain. At our Shasta retreats, Riz guides participants through meditations and live channelings that align their nervous systems with the crystalline grid of the Earth. What happens there is subtle but profound: a deep grounding, a recalibration, and an activation of light within the DNA itself.

Sedona offers yet another frequency—the fiery embrace of Earth’s desert cathedral. Its red rocks and vortexes are not gentle; they amplify whatever you bring with you. Old stories surface, emotions rise to be cleared, and clarity comes rushing in like the desert wind. In Sedona, you cannot hide from yourself, and that is the gift. The land is both mirror and medicine. Through ceremonies, fire rituals, and channeling circles, seekers with us in Sedona discover that transformation is not something you chase, it is something you allow. The desert strips away what no longer belongs, and in its silence, your soul begins to speak again.

So why travel to these vortexes now? Because we live in a time when so many are restless, burned out, and quietly longing for something they cannot name. Technology and daily demands can numb us, but the Earth still calls us to places where her energy is pure, amplified, and alive. Egypt, Shasta, and Sedona are not simply sacred—they are recalibration points. They reset us. They awaken us. They remind us of the truth we have forgotten: that we are infinite beings, loved and guided, capable of profound healing and transformation.

For over fifteen years, Riz and I have watched hundreds of people come to these retreats carrying confusion, heaviness, or unanswered questions, and leave lighter, clearer, and more aligned with who they truly are. What happens in these vortexes is not random. Spirit times it. The land remembers you. When you feel the pull, it is because you are ready.

These retreats are not vacations. They are pilgrimages. They are not escapes from your life, but returns to your soul. They are sacred circles where we walk together—Riz channeling wisdom from Spirit in real time, myself holding the shamanic field of healing and remembrance, and you stepping into the transformation you already know is waiting.

The importance of traveling to these vortexes cannot be overstated, because they are not outside of us—they are mirrors of what is within us. Egypt awakens memory. Shasta grounds and activates. Sedona strips and renews. Each one opens a different doorway, yet all lead to the same truth: that you are more than your struggles, more than your story, more than the moment you are in right now. You are vast, infinite, and connected.

If you feel the call, trust it. Spirit does not whisper for no reason. The vortexes of the Earth are waiting, just as your soul is waiting, for you to step fully into your remembrance.
