Sedona Solstice Soul Journey
The first time we drove into Sedona we were completely in awe. The stunning landscape with the red rocks had us captivated. World class hiking, sweeping views, canyons and powerful vortexes, Sedona is a place that brings awe and nourishes the soul. Then to feel the energy of the land and the connection to Spirt was truly profound.
We decided this was a place we wanted to host retreats ... but more than that ... a soul journey. We wanted to create a container for you to come experience the majesty of this place enhanced with the devotional practices that have been so transformational in our lives. Not only that, but we wanted to do it on the most potent time of year, the Summer solstice.
This Soul Journey is designed to:
What to Expect
-Daily world class sunset hiking with live music
-Afternoon swims in beautiful red rock canyon creeks
-Stunning estate home stay in the heart of Sedona
-Daily morning Sattva Kundalini Yoga
-3 delicious organic and vegetarian meals per day
-Cacao Ceremony
-Singing and Mantra Workshops
-Kirtronica: Ecstatic Dance & Chant Experience
Please join these two over the auspicious summer solstice for this spectacular Sedona Solstice Soul Journey!
If this is sounding like a yes, please sign up right away! You book by selecting a room. The best one's go first so don't wait.
Is this for me?
Hiking, swimming and adventures
Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda Das will be leading the group on some of their favorite hikes in the area. Having been to Sedona many times since 2012, these two will lead you to extraordinary spots with sweeping views. In addition, they will bring instruments to serenade with mantras and heart songs. The hiking will be easy to intermediate level. Max 3 hours hiking round trip.
This Soul Adventure will be over the Summer Solstice and it will be hot. Luckily, Sedona has spectacular river spots along Oak Creek that have carved out stunning cliffs and canyons. Each day we will go for swims/dips in these stunning locations. See the pictures to get the feel. There is also a pool at one of the estates.
Yoga and Chanting
This retreat will also help deepen your love and practice of chanting, bhakti, yoga, and ceremony in a majestic and elevating environment. We will sing and dance our hearts open. We will rejuvenate, relax, and explore yoga as a practice of embodying spirit in a heart opening and devotional way. Through daily meditation and chanting you will refine your perspective of these practices and yourself.
