The SpiritQuest® Women's Retreat In Sedona, Arizona:
 Empowering Women In Transition To Reach Their Dreams

 

Personal Retreats:  Year Round One-to-One Intensives

You have only one life to live and right now you have a very important decision to make. Do you have the courage to make your dreams a reality? If your intention is to change your life, the surest way to break out of the rut is to physically travel to a place of beauty and inspiration; a place where the focus is totally on you; a place where you will be nurtured and supported by a team of women guides who have already been through this struggle themselves and found the courage to break free.

Many women today yearn to live a more joyful, authentic life... a life more in alignment with their unique gifts and highest ideals. Yet no matter how much they desire change, they are so busy holding everything together and taking care of others that they resign themselves to watching their own dreams slip away. Others are too afraid of failure to reach beyond the familiar. They want someone else to make their choices for them, and often end up stuck in abusive relationships.

If your soul feels hopelessly trapped in a meaningless rut of duty and obligation, you are probably reading this right now wondering, "Where do I start? How do I find the strength to break out of this rut and become the person I was meant to be?" The answer is as ancient as your yearning: go on a SpiritQuest!

Our philosophy is that life is far too precious to be rushed through or, worse yet, simply endured! We know what it takes to change a life from the inside out, and our practitioners are experts at removing the mental and emotional blocks that have kept you stuck in negative patterns.

Welcome to an exciting adventure for women who dare to reach for their dreams! This retreat is a joyful celebration of creativity and the Divine gifts of womanhood. Our Women's Empowerment Retreats will embrace you in a nurturing circle of amazing women who are committed to helping other find spiritual enrichment, healing and personal integrity.

These retreats are offered year-round and have been designed especially for women traveling companions who want to do most or all of their sessions together.
 

A SpiritQuest women's retreat is perfect for you if you are:

  • Going through any major life transition such as a divorce, career change, or empty nest.
  • Trapped in co-dependant behavior that has led you into abusive relationships.
  • Feeling overwhelmed by the pace of modern life and need some downtime to reconnect with you.
  • Feeling spiritually stuck in your life, so that it's time for some fresh perspectives and new ideas.
  • Seeking inspiration from other women who have already walked the path to personal freedom.

What has been called "secret" knowledge -- the wisdom of mystics and sages -- is not really a secret at all.  It's simply hidden in the one place you never thought to look.  It's the inner wisdom of your own heart, and no one ever looks there... until they have finally suffered enough of the pain that comes from egoic pursuits.

SpiritQuest is pleased to offer some of the same amazing insights and tools we utilize in our private intensives, orgainized into a 3-day group retreat program. If your travel dates are flexible and your budget is limited, our group retreats provide an afforable option for women seeking to find their purpose and empower themselves to follow their dreams. 

Led by  Katherine Lash & Ed Preston, the co-founders of SpiritQuest, this retreat may also include other guest speakers.  Our time together will be devoted to discovering your soul's true purpose while manifesting inner peace and abundance. The retreat will include meditation training, breathing techniques and tools for stress management, springled with timeless vision and universal wisdom from the sages.  The shift in perspective that many participants experience can only be described as a spiritual awakening.

Group Retreat Itinerary
 

Day 1 - Arrival

Please plan to arrive in Sedona the day before the retreat is scheduled to begin.  Check into your accommodations and get a good night's sleep.

Day 2 - Life Review & Clearing

Sessions will start promptly at 10 am each day of the retreat. Our first day together will focus on spiritual perspectives and letting go of outdated dogmatic beliefs that prevent us from experiencing the richness of deeper relationships in our lives. In particular we will explore the relationship we have with ourselves. 

Day 3 - Empowering Your Life Vision

Today we will commune with Mother Earth by venturing out onto the sacred land of Sedona. We will learn the tools necessary to go deep within ourselves to find our own answers and invite in the empowerment we all deserve.  We will learn how to live in the present moment and how to be mindful in everything you do. 

Day 4 - Living in Joy & Serenity

As participants become more attuned and aligned with their spiritual body, our attention naturally turns to the question of how we live according to our highest purpose and do so with joy and passion. You will learn to manifest your inner vision into your outer reality.  
 

Optional One-to-One Intensives For the Group Retreat
 

Our group spiritual retreats can be done either as a stand alone experience, or enhanced by extending your stay to go deeper through intensive one-on-one private sessions.  We recommend you schedule at least one to four days as an extension. While all the sessions offered by SpiritQuest will be available, we have included below a list of those that are especially appropriate for this retreat.  Those who feel the group sessions are enough may also elect to extend their stay and experience a some of the fun adventure activities SpiritQuest offers.
