Sedona has been a destination for healing, ceremony, and ritual since the time of the First Peoples. The picturesque red rocks provide an ideal setting to connect with nature, create sacred space and allow personal transformation. The unique mineral-rich landscape provides an amplification of our experiences, both seen and unseen - calling forth a potent mirror from which to learn and grow.
