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 book your retreat, you have a grace period of two days in which to cancel. Take note that the day we receive your deposit is considered day one. Your deposit (including the 50% paid on accommodations if you booked directly with SpiritQuest) will become non-refundable at 5 pm (Mountain Standard Time) on the following day.

If you cancel within the two day grace period, your deposit is 100% refundable minus a $50 cancellation fee. If you paid the $100 expediting fee because you were booking less than five business days in advance, that is non-refundable.

If you must cancel after the two day grace period, SpiritQuest can provide you with a credit for the amount already paid toward a future retreat. You must use this credit within one year from the date of cancellation.

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.

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 $50 expediting fee for retreats booked less than ten 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).

"Words can't express all the wonderful things I have experienced during the last seven days. Each session seemed in perfect order. I
loved the fact that none of the spiritual workers had any other agenda other than me, that
they didn't look at their clocks,
that they had nothing to sell me other than sharing their knowledge. What a wonderful gift that was. None of them cared where I lived, what kind of car I drove, or how I looked. They looked at my soul, mind, and heart. That's really what it was all about."
