How do I decide which retreat package is right for me?
That's where our retreat specialists come in. With so many
different modalities to choose from, it's important to work with someone
who knows the practitioners, knows what they offer, and has personally
experienced the sessions. We'll ask a lot of questions to determine
the exact sessions and practitioners that are right for you.

Will I be in a group setting?
SpiritQuest offers both personal one-on-one retreats and small group
retreats. Private retreats are customized for your needs and provide
the greatest results for the time and money invested. With a private
retreat you can opt to have all of your sessions be completely private, or
you can save some money by taking advantage of our semi-private land
journeys that are listed under day packages.
Our 3-day group retreats are limited to a maximum of 12 participants, and provide a very
affordable option for those on a limited budget.
Back to the top
How long should I plan to stay?
Plan to stay a minimum of 3 days, not including travel time. Guests
spending at least 4 days report the most significant results. If you
would like a more profound transformative experience, we can arrange
retreats up to 7 days in length. It really depends on your goals!

When is the best time to visit Sedona?
Any time! In fact, the weather is one of the best things
about being here. With a mild 4-season climate and over 300 days of
sunshine per year, each season in Sedona has something special to offer.

How much does it cost?
There is no set price. Each SpiritQuest is a personalized package
designed exclusively for the client. We will quote a price once
we've put together a proposed itinerary based on your individual goals.
Retreats experiences can range anywhere from
$950 to $3500 depending on length and the exact sessions
included.

Do I need a car?
A car is definitely the best way to get around in Sedona.
This is a very small town. With just 2 main roads it's very easy to
navigate. You can drive from one end to the other in approximately
10 minutes.
However, there is another option available if driving is
out of the question. You can catch a shuttle from the Phoenix
airport to Sedona, and utilize the local taxi service to get around while
you're here.

Can I bring a friend?
While it's usually best to come alone and focus exclusively on you
-- away from all distractions -- if your friend is in the same mindset and
also taking a retreat, many guests have told us that the resulting synergy
gave them a more profound experience.

Can I bring a pet?
Absolutely! We'll be happy to assist you in finding "pet friendly"
accommodations.

Will I have time on my own?
You will be involved in retreat sessions approximately 4-6 hours
per day, leaving you plenty of time to journal, shop, hike or just relax
and take it easy. We also highly recommend that our clients schedule a
free day at the end of their retreat to further process their experience
and explore Sedona on their own. You just never know what the Universe
might have in store if you leave a little room for serendipity.

How far in advance do I need to make reservations?
We need a minimum of 5 business days from the time you make your deposit.
Most people book their retreat reservations 2 weeks in advance.
However, getting a room in Sedona can be very difficult during the peak
months of Spring (April-May) and Fall (September-October). You'll
may to book at least 3-4 weeks in advance if you want to come during those
seasons. There is a $100 expediting fee if you book your reservation less
than 10 days in advance.
Back to the top
How do I make a reservation?
Just call and give us a credit card number.
We require a 50% deposit at the time the reservation is
made. The deposit is your guarantee that the sessions we've
discussed together will be scheduled and reserved. The remaining
balance will be paid at the time of your arrival. If you are booking less
than five business days in
advance there is a non-refundable $100 expediting fee.
Back to the top
What if I need to cancel my reservation?
Once you make a deposit it is non-refundable. If you must cancel your
retreat, SpiritQuest can provide you
with a credit for the amount already paid toward a future retreat of equal
or greater value than the original retreat. This credit must be used within one year from the date of cancellation.
We will deduct a $50 cancellation fee from the deposit. Any portion of the
deposit that was made toward lodging or expediting fees is non-refundable and cannot be used
as part of the credit.
In the event that you are unable to attend or finish a session for any reason
during your retreat, there is no prorated refund. If SpiritQuest must cancel a
session for any reason, you will be given a full refund for that session.
Back to the top
Do you offer a payment plan?
Yes! You can make payments on your retreat. First you
must finalize the sessions you want to include in your
retreat. We will then set up an account and you can make
payments. You have the option to decide when you will make payments
and how much you want each payment to be, subject to a $100 minimum
payment. Just give us a call when you are ready to make a payment
and let us know the amount.
Once you have paid at least 50% of the total you can call to schedule at anytime. Provided you give us at least ten days advance notice before you arrive, there is no extra charge for using the payment plan option. However, there is a $100 expediting fee for retreats booked less than 5 business days in advance. In Sedona the final payment will be run when you actually arrive.
NOTE: if you choose to make payments over time,
ALL PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE except the first one, which is refundable
if you cancel within 48 hrs (minus a $50 cancellation
fee).

What if I need more help after the reteat... do you have a follow-up program?
Yes! Every SpiritQuest client gets free access to an extensive library of online resources that we have developed, as well as having phone support available at very affordable rates for as long as they need it. We consider our past clients to part of the SpiritQuest family, and will do everything we can to insure the changes you experience during your retreat become part of a permanent transformation!
