Nature Immersion in Sedona Arizona

Sedona has long been regarded as a place both sacred and powerful. It is Nature’s cathedral built upon Ancient rock and lush riparian vegetation. With its’ multicolored sands and brilliant sunsets it is no surprise that Sedona is known as an art and cultural Mecca. People travel from across the globe to experience the mysterious, cosmic forces that are said to emanate from the red rocks. It is home to several vortices, said to be conducive for healing, meditation and self-exploration.  The winding canyons and running rivers are an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise. The adventure is endless with rock climbs, hikes, mountain bike trails, river kayaking and more. 

Whether you come to revive your body, reset your mind or uplift your spirit… there is no doubt Sedona will leave your heart beating with a deep aliveness.

Element-Inspired Yoga with Gaby

Enjoy two yoga classes daily, intended to inspire embodied awareness and personal expression. Each class is guided with mindfulness, alignment focus, and Ayurvedic principles to integrate body, mind and heart. 


Morning Asana is inspired by solar energy, a Vinyasa class unfolding consciousness through the dance of breath with movement. In the afternoon, we wind down the day with a lunar-inspired practice such as Restorative, Aromatherapy Grounding Flow, or Yoga Nidra. One can expect meditation, pranayama, breath awareness, mudra and mantra. Whether a seasoned practitioner or new yogi, instruction and modifications are given for each individual explore one’s potential.

Process Art with Bevie

Process arts access the intuitive, body based intelligence that we all have, offering profound and personal wisdoms. Process arts involve a way of being with your creative process and your life that encourages abundant presence, emotional awareness and courage.  You can expect play, group interaction, strengthened intuition, experimentation, new discoveries, break-throughs in stagnant corners, and art that is alive and connected to your story.  The techniques learned shine a new light on your engagement with your life and may give you new insights as to how to move through stuck places.  You also may begin to notice differences in your relationships, parenting, health challenges, or even athletic endeavors.  Process arts shift our internal locus of control; and when this compass shifts, everything changes.  


No art experience necessary!


A wealth of art materials will be provided, but if you have items you'd like to bring, please feel free to do so!

This was an amazing experience and highly beneficial to my personal yoga practice, creative process and overall wellbeing. Gaby and Bevie were so lovely to learn from and be around. The professional chef, Bella, was also brilliant and the food was so good. The entire event was smooth, with enjoyable organic transitions as well as ample time for socializing and free time. Thanks to all involved, can't wait to do it again. ✨

The Sedona retreat was absolutely beautiful. It was amazing reconnecting with friends and meeting new ones! Everyone was so sweet and supportive of each other and we all had a great time. The food prepared by Bella was delicious and nourishing. The art and river excursion with Bevie was fun and creative. The yoga and Ayurveda with Gaby was energizing, grounding, and informative. I would definitely go on this retreat again and highly recommend others to do the same!
