WOMEN'S RETREATS IN SEDONA

Our marriage retreat was very transformative and we appreciated the welcoming orientation to help set our expectations. The workshops provided very helpful information and Marian, the facilitaor, was amazing. Her skill and spirit was so meaningful to us. We also really enjoyed the beautiful hike along Oak Creek by Cathedral Rock. It was a good contrast to the morning workshops and, yet, still quite spiritual, meditative and relaxed. Our favorite workshop was “Choosing Love over Fear”, where we learned to be in love and not choose fear in our actions and reactions. This retreat far exceeded our expectations!

The entire week’s experience was way beyond our expectations. You opened our hearts to knowing Spirit and ourselves in ways we never thought possible. You have taught us so much about love, acceptance, caring, challenge, and laughter. Thank you, thank you!

It was a fabulous experience, far exceeding our expectations! The outdoor activities were incredible and awe inspiring. We learned to always choose love.

This retreat to Sedona is the most significant and impactful travel experience of my life!  Marian is truly gifted; any workshops led by her would be great.  She and Garrett are the essence of this spiritual experience.  The outdoor activities were beautiful and Garrett is so knowledgable.  Every day was exactly what we needed in the moment.  I honestly enjoyed the hike up Bell Rock the best, but the visit to the Grand Canyon and the hike along Oak Creek were equally great.  I learned to always ask, “What would love do?”, and to breathe.

The retreat was a welcoming and safe space for my partner and I to explore our issues. All the workshops were extremely enjoyable and blended so well together. We learned many new tools to use for our future. Our hike up Bell Rock was great! The retreat was so enjoyable and beneficial for us both.

Thank you for your insights, your warmth, your love and your sharing. We had a wonderful experience at the couples retreat and we know we will apply much from your workshops. Many blessings to you both!

We enjoyed the personal and individual attention of the retreat.  It was great getting to know Marian and Garrett.  I enjoyed all the hiking and the specific information from Garrett.  This retreat far exceeded my expectations!

We are grateful for our visit here which has made us more enlightened, more joyful, more centered and more committed. We shall be forever blessed by this experience. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and the light of your spirit with us.

Thank you for this wonderful weekend marriage retreat! Marian’s knowledge and guidance during her workshops were greatly appreciated and we take home some great tools to use in our marriage, and for oursleves individually. The hikes in beautiful Sedona were stunning and an experience we will remember always. Thank you Garrett for your gracious hospitality as our guide and for sharing your wisdom and knowledge of Sedona and the history of Arizona. We will continue to work on our spiritual journey and strive to choose love over fear. Thank you Spirit for guiding our paths to cross!

Marian & Garrett make a great team. The workshops were amazing and we liked the small group. The Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock hikes (and summit) were stunning. We really liked the “Choosing Love over Fear” workshop and learning the A, B, Cs of awareness, breathe and communicate. We immensely enjoyed the retreat and it was so much more than we expected.

The retreat was very good; you put your heart into your work and made it the best. Marian has exceptional skills with the workshops, with a warm, personal approach. The outdoor activities were well-organized and interesting. Our expectations were well exceeded.

We would highly recommend this retreat for anyone wanting to stengthen their relationship with their partner and themselves. It was very enlightening and reminded us of the many things to do to enhance our relationship. Marian’s workshops were very safe, organized and engaging. Many thanks from the bottom of our hearts! Garrett was very knowledgable and his history and stories and made the ourdoor activities fun. The climb up Bell Rock was safe, fun and awesome with Garrett’s leadership. This retreat was amazing and so much greater than we expected!

We had no idea what to expect, but the retreat was amazing! Out favorite workshops were “Living in Balance and Harmony” and “Choosing Love Over Fear”. These workshops helped us learn to forgive, to communicate, and to see what we needed to work on. We really enjoyed the hike on Bell Rock and the walk along Oak Creek, especially since Bruno (their Aussie) was there. We loved spending time with you both. Thank you for helping us heal!

This was a great opportunity and so important for us to grow our bond and learn tools to tend our relationship. Marian’s proficiency with the workshop material and her intuitive and joyful style was a great help to learning. We appreciated the knowledge and insights shared. We loved the Oak Creek trail hike for its gentle flowing energy and the Bell Rock vortex hike. This retreat was a superb introduction to the Sedona area and to our personal growth. Everything we learned comes back to that first workshop – Choosing Love over Fear!

It was an honor and a privilege going on this journey with you. Such an incredible experience! Thank you for making our light shine brighter. The retreat was mind-blowing and extremely insightful. I loved all the workshop sessions and how they were all connected. We learned far more than expected and now have a better understanding of our inner self. We hiked in amazingly beautiful places and learned so much about Sedona and its healing vibes. This retreat far exceeded any expectations we had.

The retreat was amazing! We liked the all-inclusive package that made our Sedona stay very comfortable and stress-free. We loved the workshops; they were all so good and we learned so many important things. The outdoor activities were very special, especially the hikes at Bell Rock and along Oak Creek. We enjoyed watching Bruno play in the water! And Garrett is very knowledgable about the area. Our favorite workshop was “Living in Balance and Harmony” because it provided us the proper tools on how to grow mentally, spiritually and emotionally. We didn’t know quite what to expect when we arrived, but this retreat far exceeded our expectations.

We had a great time at the retreat and learned a lot from everyone. The outdoor activities were wonderful, especially the trails at Cathedral Rock.  The Grand Canyon hike was awesome!  We weren’t sure what to expect, but it was a very happy week.  The “Choosing love over fear” workshop gave us an entirely new way of looking at things, realizing what is important to us.  They were all quite insightful.

What a beautiful, amazing, eye-opening experience. The workshops were fantastic, honest and safe. Visiting the Bell Rock vortex and the Grand Canyon were amazing.  What a connection with nature! We learned to take more time to love, trust, establish boundaries and release what does not serve us.

We came with high hopes and would recommend this retreat to everyone. It was very educational and loving. Marian was very knowledgeable and helped us learn a lot about ourselves. Garrett had so much knowledge about the area and was an amazing guide. We loved the hike along the water; it was so peaceful. We loved all the workshops, but especially “Choosing Love over Fear”. We learned everything starts with self-love.

Western Spirit Enrichment Center is an amazing place and offers great programs! We learned so much that we can take into the world and share with others. We had a great retreat and it far exceeded our expectations.  We highly recommend this!

This was a great, well thought out retreat with extremely intuitive facilitators (who had a great sense of humor). The workshops were beautifully taught and we learned more tools and understanding than through previous therapy. The week was exactly what we had hoped for and definitely overshot our expectations.

This marriage retreat was great for us! We loved the workshops of the ABCs (awareness, breathe, communicate) and the medicine circle. The hike up Bell Rock was adventurous and beautiful, with awesome views! We learned that every decision should be based on love and not fear. The retreat far exceeded our expectations!

A very positve experience with a guided opportunity to grow closer as a couple. We loved Marian’s engaging personality and the hiking time with her. The workshops had great content and the presentation was excellent. We enjoyed the beautiful hiking experiences. I learned to find my voice and to stop doubting myself.

A very positive experience, the retreat was great and the workshops were outstanding and enlightening. Everything was beautiful and the activities were excellent and a lot of fun.

We rate this retreat a 10 out of 10! We loved our time with our group. Our favorite workshop was “Choose Love over Fear”, which taught us that we are each responsible for changing oursleves. We learned something valuable from each lesson. Sedona is quite gorgeous! The hike along Oak Creek was absolutely beautiful, and we cooled off in the rushing water.The retreat was even better than we expected!

We feel we have grown together and gained many valuable tools to better communicate. A great, fun adventure of body, mind and spirit!

The week was a great way for us to become grounded as we look to our future together. We loved all the workshops, but our favorites were “Strengthening Your Relationships” and “Listening With Your Heart”. Our greatest lesson was that we co-create with God.

What warm and attentive hospitality! The retreat was great and changed our lives!

This retreat was eye-opening and life-changing, a great balance of workshops and outdoor activities! Marian is truly a blessing and her love shined through in every single workshop. Her style of guiding us was very informal and friendly. We felt empowered climbing Bell Rock in one of the most beautiful and magical places we’ve ever seen. And Garrett’s knowledge of the local history and area greatly enhanced our experiences. “Listening with Your Heart” and “Living in Balance and Harmony” were our favorite workshops, because self-love is where the healing begins. The retreat far exceeded our expectations and we felt we had known Marian and Garrett as friends for awhile.

Thank you so much for a perfect environment. We learned so much, laughed a lot, connected to nature and rediscovered our inner spirit.

Our marriage retreat was better than we expected. We learned that loving one’s self is so powerful and connecting with our spirituality and learning to forgive is paramount to living a peaceful life. Sedona is so beautiful and the hikes were great. Garrett’s knowledge of the area, its history, animal and plant life is fantastic!

The two of you made us feel welcomed and enveloped in love and happiness! The workshops were awesome and Marian is so gifted. The outdoor beauty of Sedona and the Grand Canyon was beyond words. We enjoyed the entire retreat journey for the new beginning of our healing work.

Marian and Garrett were both super fantastic and inspirational! Every workshop was spiritually uplifting and provided the highest vibration. The outdoor adventures were wonderful and Garrett was extremely knowledgeable. Our best “vacation” ever! The retreat was “over the top”, like winning at the casino.

I can’t express how pleased I am with the week’s retreat!  It was so much more than I truly expected.  All the workshops were quite constructive and well balanced.  And the outdoor activities and especially the Bright Angel Trail hike in the Grand Canyon – wow!  We came out of the retreat very much where I was hoping I would be.

You have made us both very happy. The retreat was very intimate and personal. It far exceeded our expectations.

Many times when we interact with someone, we do not know how we touch or change their lives. This was the moment; the right time, the right place, the right people. The ripple of your touches will echo throughout the universe. Thank you for an awesome week!

This retreat was a great experience and more impactful than we expected. We learned and grew so much. There was a great variety of workshops with common threads woven through them that made them flow perfectly. The Sedona hikes were beautiful and not too difficult. We learned that negative emotions are born out of fear and we loved the “Listening with your Heart” workshop a lot. The retreat met all of our expectations and was a lot of fun.

This retreat was a great experience, so relaxing, peaceful, enjoyable and insightful. The workshops were very helpful and a favorite was “Living in the Moment” where we learned about centering ourselves. Hiking Bell Rock was wonderful. Wouldn’t change a thing about the retreat.

The workshops were great; very positive! And we loved the balance of the workshops and outdoor activities. We really appreciated the empathy shown each participant. Our favorite workshop was “Living in the Moment”, a tough one to master. We loved the hikes at Bell Rock and along Oak Creek by Cathedral Rock. This couples’ retreat far exceeded our expectations.

This retreat was better than we imagined and beyond our expectations! We enjoyed Marian’s workshop lessons and lively discussions and there was lots of great information. We loved the challenging hike up Bell Rock, it’s great energy and views. It was fun learning about the local history and desert life from Garrett. Meeting, listening and speaking with your Native American friend, Clay, was a great honor. The “Living in Balance and Harmony” workshop, learning the ABCs of Awareness, Breathe and Communication, and choosing to love and not fear were the most valuable lessons we learned. We’re so glad we chose this retreat and we hope to return again some day.

The retreat was a great balance of spiritual, mental, physical and emotional parts. Marian’s workshops were practical and very insightful. We loved the Bell Rock climb and it was very empowering. We learned new tools and ways to break negative patterns and communicate better. This retreat far exceeded our mutual expectations.

We had one of the most wonderful and important times here for us as a couple. The significance of what you offer is the greatest value I could ever imagine giving another person.

Loved the visuals and handouts. Garrett’s knowledge of the area was impressive and his stories enjoyable. Our expectations were met and the retreat brought us closer together.

This retreat was not what I was expecting; it was so much better! The workshops mixed laughter and tears, and provided so many tools for us to improve our relationship. The emphasis on doing our own work on ourselves was so beneficial! Sedona’s sights are incredibly beautiful and such an important component of our journey, and climbing Bell Rock was stunning. Our favorite workshops were “Listening with your Heart” and “Choosing Love Over Fear”. They were super helpful with making decisions and communicating. We came to realize we are not responsible for anyone else’s choices or happiness.

This marriage retreat far exceeded our expectations. We’re so glad we booked this trip. The workshops taught us how to choose love over fear. Marian is to be commended for keeping us so engaged and interested. After the first workshops, we knew this retreat was a good fit.
