The Energy of Mt. Shasta.
5 days.
Quantum Shifts That Stick.

Leave Mt. Shasta with a nervous system that no longer snaps you back into old patterns so the peace, intuition, and ‘impossible’ synchronicities actually stick when you go home.
📍 McCloud Mercantile, McCloud, CA (Mt. Shasta vortex)
📅 September 30 – October 4, 2026 • 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily

I am free to be me. I love everything about [CognoConscious]. Especially knowing there’s a solution to everything. Bill and Liz are highly effective and are constantly pulling rabbits out of their inner beings. I do believe there’s nothing else like this. It is absolutely mind expanding.

If Mt. Shasta has been calling you… this might be your answer.
If your watchlist is full of Beyond Belief, Brian Scott, Gaia, telepathy, timeline jumps, astral anything… you already know:
This reality has layers.
You’ve touched them before:
-
That meditation where time dissolved and you felt everything
-
A “download” that dropped into your brain from somewhere else
-
A dream that you know was real
-
Numbers, signs, and synchronicities that line up so perfectly it’s almost rude
-
A wave of peace out of nowhere, like someone turned the volume down inside your chest
For a moment you just know:
“Oh… it’s REAL.”
And then…Life hits.
Emails. Bills. Family. News. Old pain. Old stories.
You’re back in the old 3D loop:
-
Same anxiety and overthinking
-
Same trigger, same reaction, same argument
-
Same relationship pattern, money pattern, self‑sabotage pattern
-
Same “Why am I still like this? I know better.”
It’s not that your consciousness isn’t high enough.
It’s that your body keeps pulling you back to the old version of you.
"CognoConscious is a life-changing event in a miraculously short period of time"
- Katie
You’re not “blocked.” You just haven’t broken the loop.
You’ve heard 3D, 4D, 5D before.
Here’s how we talk about it:
3D / Survival Timeline feels like:
-
Constant background fear or tension
-
Guilt, regret, shame that won’t let you rest
-
Anger, craving, chasing, needing
-
Doubt, “stuckness,” and “I guess this is just how it is”
-
Thwarted wanting
5D / Spiritual Timeline feels like:
-
Deep peace on a normal Tuesday
-
Real forgiveness for yourself and others
-
Love, joy, and gratitude that isn’t forced
-
Trust in your path, even when you don’t have every detail
Most people are trying to “ascend” the way the gurus taught them:
⛔️ Leave the body
⛔️ Leave the emotions
⛔️ Meditate out of the triggers
⛔️ Float above the 3D.
But here’s the problem:
If you fully ascended out of your body… you’d be dead.
Your 3D body is not the mistake.
It’s the technology.
The way you feel things... Emotion, empathy, goosebumps, even triggers, is the interface.
It’s how you read energy, timelines, other people, and the field itself.
What’s keeping you stuck isn’t your “low” consciousness.
It’s a nervous system jammed by trauma, stress, anger, and constant energetic noise (news, social feeds, everyone else’s chaos).
"You're actually discovering the parts of you that were hidden away..."
- Annette
CognoConscious is built on a different idea:
We don’t escape the body to reach 5D.
We reset the body so it can run 5D.
It’s your nervous system, the ancient survival program that says:
“This new reality is unknown. Unknown is unsafe. Back to the old loop.”
So you ping‑pong between:
Higher state → old pattern → higher state → old pattern.
CognoConscious is designed to change the signal your body is sending, so your system stops yanking you back into an outdated version of you.
You don’t have to fight the old timeline.
You just have to stop powering it.
"I forever, permanently changed my pain state"
"The outcome that I got from my first CognoConscious was I got to cancel my neurosurgery on my back. I forever, permanently changed my pain state." - Katie Wrigley, Chronic Pain Management Specialist, Level 2 Cognomovement Practitioner
Mt. Shasta:
Root chakra of the Earth, mythic meeting place, living portal
Around the world, people talk about Mt. Shasta as:
The Root Chakra of the Earth
.png)
A Doorway to Ancient Civilizations like Lemuria
.png)
A Powerful Energy Vortex
.png)
A Mountain Whispered About in Stories of Ascending Beings and Off-Planet Visitors
Whether you experience it as myth, memory, or a literal portal, the pattern is the same:
Sensitive, intuitive, awake people come here…and they all say some version of
“I feel different here.”
The air feels different.
The mind connects to new things.
The veil feels thinner.
Nature feels like it’s talking to you.
We’ve wanted to bring CognoConscious to Mt. Shasta for a long time.
We didn’t push it. We waited until the field felt like “now.”
This is that year.
"I totally and completely have forgiven m mother."

What is CognoConscious?
CognoConscious is a 5‑day experience:
-
5 days in the Mt. Shasta field
-
5 days with Bill McKenna and Liz Larson
-
5 days of Cognomovement designed to change what “normal” feels like in your body
It Is Not:
-
A “sit and listen” seminar
-
A hype‑high that crashes when you go home
-
Another notebook full of ideas you never use
It Is:
-
You, in a room, actually doing the work: moving, feeling, alchemizing old patterns in real time.
-
Real‑time nervous system work that changes the way your body holds fear, stress, and old experiences…
while opening up the channels that make things like telepathy, intuitive hits, healing, and “impossible” synchronicities feel natural instead of rare.
-
A controlled, supported environment to explore deeper states without getting lost in them.
Picture it less like a class…
and more like stepping into a contained field for five days, where old patterns can finally be cleared and new wiring can lock in.
Rita S.
I feel that I have had a lot of shifts in my physical body. I love how Cognomovement works to release unexpressed emotions. I will watch out for the magic and miracles to unfold in my life now.
What You're Secretly Here For:
You might say you want “higher consciousness,” “5D,” “activation,” “more magic."
Underneath that, most people who come to CognoConscious want three things:
.png)
Life that doesn’t feel like it’s working against you.
Not just “coping better”. Actually waking up with a sense of purpose instead of pressure. A life path that feels easier and smoother.
.png)
Guidance You Can Trust
Inner knowing that’s so clear you can actually make decisions from it. Not just journal about it, and then gaslight yourself that it wasn’t real.
.png)
Magic with Receipts.
The bliss, synchronicity, and connection… without the crash, the self‑doubt, or the “Was that real or am I just making it up?”
On the ground, after 5 days, that tends to look like:
You face the same trigger… but you don’t feel it and lose yourself.
You get the text that used to send you into a 2‑hour spiral… and you breathe, respond, and move on.
You stop replaying the same argument in your head 40 times.
You stop absorbing every person’s energy in the room.
You make a decision you’ve been circling for months easily.
You start seeing more “lining up” moments: the right people, timing, invitations.
More synchronicities.
Clearer inner knowing you actually act on.
Real intuitive hits.
Less spiraling.
A pattern finally breaking.
Simple version:
The magic stops being random.
The expansion doesn’t vanish when you get home.
Most events give you an “event high”... Hours of meditation or lecture, a huge rush… and then within days, you’re back in the old loop.
CognoConscious was built specifically to end that cycle:
You feel the shift in the room, and then it keeps integrating for days, weeks, and months after, because we change the signal in the body that was snapping you back.
"With the amount of people with that energy, you cannot NOT be changed."

Andrea Tellez
I really felt validated. I would never have guessed that my anger saved my life. I also feel like I have really connected my brain to my body in a way that I never have before. Pure Joy! I really loved doing all the sessions and learning all the different techniques to use when doing Cognomovement.

VIP Experience #1: The False Door
📅 October 2 • 5:00–7:00 PM

Spend time at the False Door with stories, teachings, and quiet
-
Tune into what your system does in places where the veil feels thin

VIP is limited to 10 spots.
It will take a lifetime to realize all the shifts, insights and transformation I experienced at CognoConscious. I connected to a big hidden piece of guilt about my sister.

What's The Investment For 5 Days In The Field?
Bill and Liz do private work, where clients invest up to $200,000 to create this level of change. CognoConscious is one of the rare ways to access this work in an intimate group instead of a private, six‑figure container.
If you’ve looked at other Mt. Shasta retreats, you know that 3‑day group events can easily run in this price range, and 5‑day immersions with this level of access often go into the $3,000+ range, usually without the kind of direct nervous system work and practitioner support we do here.
We created CognoConscious so this work isn’t only available to private, high‑ticket clients. We wanted you to have a VIP‑level experience without a VIP‑only price tag.
So instead of a six‑figure private intensive or a $5,000+ retreat… here’s what your investment actually looks like:

Price increases
To honor the people who commit early, and because this is a live, limited‑seat event, pricing increases as we get closer:
-
On May 1, 2026, each ticket level increases by $200
-
On August 1, 2026, each ticket level increases another $200
You lock in your current rate the moment you register.
Because this is an in‑person event that requires travel and lodging, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance that covers your flights and accommodations, so you’re protected on that side as well.
Our commitment to you (and what you can count on in this event)
We’re not going to promise you a specific outcome. No one can honestly guarantee that.
What we can promise is the integrity of the event, the quality of the work, and the way we hold you while you’re in it.
When you step into CognoConscious, you can count on:
-
A small, intentional group
This event is capped at 40 people, on purpose. You’re not one face in a crowd of hundreds. You’re in a room where you can be seen, supported, and worked with directly. -
Experienced guides and practitioners
You’ll be led by Bill McKenna and Liz Larson, co‑creators of Cognomovement, along with trained Cognomovement practitioners who know how to support nervous system work, big shifts, and deep states in a grounded way. -
Real‑time support as you move through the work
You won’t be left alone in your process. There is time built in for questions, integration, and support. You’ll be invited to participate at a level that serves your system, never pushed to share anything you’re not ready to. -
An event designed for lasting shift, not just an “event high”
CognoConscious was created specifically to end the cycle of feeling amazing for a weekend and then crashing back into the old loop. Everything we do, from the way we sequence the days to how we work with your nervous system, is designed to support change that keeps unfolding after you leave.
Because this is a live, in‑person event with limited seats and significant preparation on our side, we don’t offer refunds within 30 days of the event, and our full transfer and cancellation policy is outlined in our official Terms & Conditions.
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your flights, tickets and lodging so you’re protected on that side as well.
If you show up, participate, and communicate with us during the event, you will not be left to navigate it alone. That is our commitment.
About Us
.png)
Liz Larson is the co‑creator of Cognomovement®, a nervous‑system‑based modality designed to bridge mind, body, and spirit so change can be fully integrated and actually sustained. She’s a Master Certified Neuro‑Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner with a focus in brain remapping, and she’s also a medical intuitive.
Liz is the author of Suffering Is Optional and The Tiny Book of Big Manifesting, with her upcoming 2026 release 50 Little Things to Grow Your Relationship Bonds. Her search to understand her parents’ deaths due to brain illness became a defining force behind the creation of Cognomovement and continues to shape how she evolves the modality through new techniques and refinements.
CognoConscious itself was born out of Liz’s frustration with the classic seminar pattern: show up ready to fix your life, get flooded with great information, ride a massive event high… and then three days later, the high is gone, your nervous system is still in survival mode, and all that motivation to implement has evaporated. After hearing the same story from client after client, she set out to create a different kind of experience, one where you start the change in the room, in your body, and leave with a nervous system that can hold it.
Bill McKenna is the co‑creator of Cognomovement®, a nervous‑system‑based modality designed to bridge mind, body, and spirit so change can be fully integrated and sustained. Cognomovement was born in 2016 out of Bill’s search for a more efficient, lasting way to help his clients create real change, following a mid‑life awakening that shifted his life toward service.
Bill is the author of The Only Lesson and studied and taught at the Berkeley Psychic Institute. He has spoken for IANDS (International Association for Near‑Death Studies) and shared his work through institutions including the Institute of Noetic Sciences.
Together, Liz and Bill teach through online self‑guided programs, practitioner training, a worldwide network of Cognomovement practitioners, and online and in‑person events including the annual immersive event, CognoConscious. Their work has been featured on Gaia TV, The Shift Network, Reality Revolution and Coast to Coast AM, and they co‑host New Life Perspectives on the UK Health Radio Network.
When you step into this room, you’re stepping into a field held by people who know how to work at the edge of consciousness in a way that is practical, repeatable, and safe, so you don’t just have an “event weekend,” you leave with a different baseline.
“You can’t think your way into 5D—you have to shift the body that’s been holding you back.”
— Liz Larson
Who CognoConscious is (and isn’t) for
CognoConscious is for you if:
-
You’re spiritually awake and tired of chasing the next high or “activation” that doesn’t stick
-
You’re ready to use your 3D body as the technology, not escape it
-
You’re willing to move, feel, and actually do the work in the room
-
You want magic with receipts: real-life changes, not just a wild weekend story
CognoConscious is not for you if:
-
You’re looking for another “event high” with no interest in integration
-
You want to stay in the “talking about it” phase and aren’t willing to participate in the sessions
-
You’re a spiritual tourist collecting vortex selfies and certifications, but not genuine change
-
You’re currently experiencing psychosis or have significant mental health concerns and are not under the care of a licensed provider

FAQ
Q: What makes CognoConscious different?
A: Most events give you a temporary “event high.” CognoConscious is built for the kind of shift that keeps unfolding after you leave, because we work with the nervous system in a concentrated 5-day field. Spiritual gurus often miss this: you don’t ascend by leaving your body, you ascend by clearing what your body is still bracing for. When the old survival patterns quiet down, your nervous system becomes the channel for higher states, intuition, and changes you can actually live.
Q: Who should attend?
A: Anyone who is spiritually awake, tired of looping the same patterns, and ready to use their 3D body as the actual technology for higher states, natural abilities, and real‑world change.
Q: Is lodging and food included in the ticket price?
A: Lodging and food are not included. Your ticket covers entry to the full event, snacks during the day, and all Cognomovement sessions. After you register, we’ll share recommended lodging options in McCloud and nearby areas.
Q: What can I expect during the event?
A: Expect intensive, hands‑on Cognomovement sessions, guided experiences, and integration time. You’ll move, breathe, and work with your nervous system in real time through the Hawkin’s Scale with support from Bill, Liz, and trained practitioners, to release old patterns and raise consciousness in a more stabilized and lasting way.
Q: Do I need Cognomovement experience?
A: You’ll need Cognomovement Essentials before you arrive (we’ll provide it after registration if you don’t already have it). You don’t need to be an expert, just familiar enough with the basics so we can go straight into the deeper work.
Q: How many seats are available?
A: CognoConscious is limited to a maximum of 40 attendees. It’s intentionally intimate so you can be seen, supported, and guided through the experience.
Q: Do I have to share personal trauma or talk in front of the group?
A: You will have opportunities to unpack and share throughout the event, and sharing is encouraged because it supports integration. That said, you are never required to share, and you never have to reveal personal details. You can share what you noticed in your session (what shifted, what you learned, how you feel now) without sharing the private subject matter..
Q: Is CognoConscious a certification or practitioner training?
A: No. CognoConscious is an immersive experience for your personal shift and integration. This is not training to work on others. CognoConscious is for your own healing, nervous system reset, and integration. If you’re looking for practitioner certification, that is a separate program.
Q: What’s the closest airport?
A: The closest airports are Redding, CA (RDD) and Medford, OR (MFR). We recommend renting a car, and we’ll share travel tips after registration.
Q: Where exactly is the event held?
A: The event takes place at McCloud Mercantile near Mt. Shasta. Registered attendees will receive the full address, parking notes, and arrival details by email.
Q: Are replays included? Can I attend virtually?
A: No. CognoConscious is intentionally in-person only (no livestream, no replays). We’ve experimented with online versions before, and it simply doesn’t create the same experience. This event is designed so Bill and Liz can work with you face-to-face, read what’s happening in the room, and support real-time shifts. The group field and group Cognomovement sessions are powerful for individual healing and consciousness expansion, and that level of intensity only happens when we’re all in the same space. If you can’t make it to the event, or it is sold out, we recommend you try the Elevate & Illuminate Recorded Series.
Q: What if I’m skeptical? Do I need to believe in anything for this to work?
A: You don’t need a belief system. You just need to show up and participate. Many attendees are spiritually curious, but the experience itself is what creates the shift.
Q: Is there a VIP ticket? What’s included?
A: Yes. VIP is limited to 10 and includes admission plus two guided sacred-site experiences in Mt. Shasta with Bill, Liz, and Leah (transportation included), plus other bonuses.
Q: Who should NOT attend? Where can I read the full safety policy?
A: Please read our full CognoConscious Disclaimer + Participant Safety Notice here. This event is not appropriate for anyone currently experiencing psychosis or with a diagnosis of clinical psychosis. If you have significant mental health concerns, we strongly recommend consulting your licensed provider before attending.
If you can feel that this is your moment…
Maybe Mt. Shasta has been on your list for years.
Maybe you’ve been saying, “I just need something immersive to reset me.”
Maybe you’re simply tired of being the person who knows there’s more… but still lives in the same repeating life circumstances.
CognoConscious is for the ones who are done nibbling around the edges.
The groups that come together for this event are never random.
The right people always find themselves in the room together.
We’re keeping this event small on purpose.
When the 40 seats are gone, they’re gone.
VIP is limited to 10.
If you can feel the pull, trust it.
