Your Outdoor Adventures
Your 6-Day Spiritual Retreat includes a Sedona Tour, Grand Canyon Tour, and hikes. The Outdoor Adventures available vary seasonally and according to weather conditions.
Additional Adventures, such as river rafting or kayaking, horseback riding, the cowboy cookout and western show, or skiing and snowshoeing, can be arranged for you at an extra charge.
Physical Ability
You don’t have to be “in shape” to participate in our outdoor activities. We have had guests of many fitness levels and physical conditions attend our retreats. You are invited to do as much or as little as you wish. You may choose to challenge yourself to move beyond your usual boundaries—if you do, we will be there to encourage, support and assist you.
There will be opportunities throughout the week to walk, hike and climb, as you choose locations to meditate amidst the beauty of Sedona and the Grand Canyon. If you choose to go your own way, you are invited to find a comfortable spot to sit in the middle of the awesome beauty to enjoy and meditate.

One of the great natural and scenic wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon is over one mile (1.5km) deep and 18 miles (27km) wide, and it contains over 277 miles (420km) of the raging Colorado River. It offers some of the most incredible views and vistas found anywhere, and is just as beautiful in winter as in summer.

Additional Outdoor Adventure Options
River Rafting
Float the scenic Verde River (in season when the water level is appropriate) through the lush Verde Valley. Catch sight of bald eagles, Blue Heron, coyotes, javelina, deer, antelope, and perhaps a mountain lion.
Or, for an even grander adventure, float the wild and majestic Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Experience roaring rapids that will keep you screaming, amid awesome scenery you will never forget.

If the water level is too low on the river, we might enjoy some leisurely kayaking on beautiful Lake Watson, where the Calvary soldiers and local Indians watered their horses years ago.
