Where is the Retreat?
We will spend the first 4 nights in Carefree Arizona. Carefree is a quaint and beautiful little town about 45 minutes from the Phoenix airport. It has plenty of nearby recreational activities such as horseback riding, hiking, shopping, biking, museums and eclectic dining! You may choose some of these options but you may also want to spend the whole time enjoying Spirit in the Desert Retreat Center with the many choices of classes that Deb and I will offer! There is also a heated swimming pool, hot tub, meditation gardens, meditation walking paths and a Labyrinth.
The retreat center in Carefree is the Spirit in the Desert, a beautiful and tranquil setting surrounded by spectacular views of desert scenery.
The last 2 nights will be spent in Sedona at the Best Western Plus Inn of Sedona which has a stunning view of the Red Rocks!
What will we be doing?
We will have several optional classes of Yoga, Qi Gong, hiking, Meditation all at your discretion and preference.
In between the classes of your choice you can swim in the pool, soak in the hot tub, or take comfort in the air-conditioned rooms with private patios overlooking the desert and mountains. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds and all have private bathrooms and outdoor balconies. The average temperature in Carefree this time of year is mid to high 70’s with very low humidity making this an optimal temperature! Temperatures are cooler in the morning and evenings.
There will be two hikes you can participate in: One is Cave Creek National Park in Carefree and the other guided hike will be to the vortex of Bell Rock in Sedona!
Sedona Vortexes
What is a Vortex?
A vortex is the funnel shape created by a whirling fluid or by the motion of spiraling energy. Familiar examples of vortex shapes are whirlwinds, tornadoes, and water going down a drain. A vortex can be made up of anything that flows, such as wind, water, or electricity.The vortexes in Sedona are swirling centers of subtle energy coming out from the surface of the earth. The vortex energy is not exactly electricity or magnetism, although it does leave a slight measurable residual magnetism in the places where it is strongest.The Energy Vortex of Bell Rock is incredible! The subtle energy that exists at this location interacts with who a person is inside. The energy resonates with and strengthens the Inner Being of each person that comes within about a quarter to a half mile of it. This resonance happens because the vortex energy is very similar to the subtle energy operating in the energy centers inside each person. If you are a sensitive person, it is easy to feel the energy at these vortexes. Below is a picture of Bell Rock.
