“Seeking In Sedona”

I think you go to Sedona when you are looking for something. You may not know what you are looking for, but you know you are seeking. You may even leave with something different from what you sought.

There is a rawness to Arizona, an authenticity. Dry, warm and picturesque, the beauty seems to pop more because of the duality. The cacti of Phoenix and the red rocks of Sedona, speak loudly. They are grand. The people ask how your day is going, and you get the feeling they would really like to know.

I went to Sedona for a re-wilding, women’s retreat. I loved the spiritual notes and healthful aura of the experience. The hiking and waterplay were freeing and the group activities were uplifting. The most powerful moments, however, were those that fostered deep connections with my retreat-mates, like a 2-minute meditation where we looked directly into the eyes of another human, held their hands and really felt into their energy. I left Sedona feeling a deeper sense of connection, clarity and comfort.
