sedona, arizona april 17-21, 2024

Springtime in the beautiful oasis of Sedona is vibrant with life, therefore making a perfect destination to retreat and connect. With an array of colorful cacti and wildflowers blooming, perfect temperatures to enjoy the many hikes throughout the area, and a strong flow of water running through the valley to nourish us all.

During this retreat we will be celebrating Mother Earth and all her offerings. With opportunities to connect to the land and the sacred powers within this magical place. Our guides will lead us on this journey though daily offerings of yoga & meditation, mindfulness hikes among powerful energy centers of the earth, and native foods to nourish and connect us to the healing potential of our beloved mother. Our angelic guides have been known to show up as well.

Our home, named the Transformation Home is a private house with 4 bedrooms, with this intimate setting we have only enough room for 8 guests. We have a gorgeous deck to enjoy coffee, a spacious yard to wander about and gaze up at the iconic Cathedral Rock.. There is a hot tub to soak in after a long hike and a fireplace to keep us cozy at night. This smaller retreat will be a unique offering with an intention on diving deep into the wisdom in ourselves and in mother nature with loving reverence. This retreat is open to couples as well as single women, bedrooms and bathrooms are shared.

A local guide will be leading us on a pilgrimage to explore a powerful vortex with a half-day experience in which we will hike, meditate and learn about the ancient wisdom of this area. This will be an incredible opportunity to connect to the earth’s energy as well as communication with your guides.

All of the meals will be provided, minus our night out on the town enjoying the local cuisine as well as an opportunity to explore the area and have lunch on our own. The food we will be fed is abundant in nutrients, flavor and beauty to nourish every cell of our being. An amazing menu with mostly plant-based meals will be prepared by our private chef, with snacks, water and tea available at all times.

Our time together will be for 5 days and 4 nights, arriving on Wednesday by 4pm to enjoy a welcoming circle and dinner. Throughout the weekend we will practice yoga in the morning at the house and out in nature. We will find time for stillness and reflection, as well as rest and relaxation. During the day we will have a variety of hikes to choose from and some amazing healers to compliment our journey. Evenings are spent with delicious food, conversation, hot tubbing, star gazing….it is your time to nourish how you see fit. You will receive exactly what you need!
