The Wisdom of the Medicine Wheel
Using the rhythmic beat of a shamanic drum to connect with your inner spirit and the energy of Sedona.
Our Sedona shamanic group retreats offer a deep exploration of spirit animals and the sacred medicine wheel. In the frantic pace of modern life, it is easy to lose touch with your own spirit; however, by connecting with animal totems, you can rediscover the unique guidance and wisdom nature has to offer. Our expert guides will help you interpret these lessons as they lead you through the physical and spiritual landscape of the medicine wheel.
A medicine wheel is a sacred circle of stones, with keystones marking the four cardinal directions: North, South, East, and West. Walking the medicine wheel during your retreat provides a transformative foundation for self-discovery. As your inner knowledge expands, you gain a clearer understanding of the path toward a more fruitful and balanced life.
The Power of Presence
At SpiritQuest Sedona Retreats, our shamanic practitioners specialize in guiding individuals toward new realizations and insights. We believe that true enlightenment is found naturally; no mind-altering substances are required to reach these expanded states of consciousness. Instead, we teach you how to master the art of being “present,” a skill far more potent than any temporary fix. Our techniques empower you to transform your mindset naturally, reviving the vibrant “heartbeat” of your life. For a more tailored experience, consider a personal one-on-one Shamanic journey. Contact us today to start your transformation.
Summary of Shamanic Retreat
Just as the eagle gains a higher perspective, our shamanic practices help you rise above the past to find a new sense of direction.
On the opening day, we explore the Hawaiian concept of Ho’o Pono Pono. Using this technique, you can gently use the Hawaiian prayer of forgiveness to let go of resentments and free yourself of negative energy that does not contribute to your well-being.
Next we head out to the medicine wheel, located in west Sedona. The wheel provides a walking meditation which enables us to get centered and to commune with Spirit. The medicine wheel helps us with our “Vision,” to see exactly where we are and which areas we need to develop to realize our full life purpose and life potential.
We end the day with an optional sound bath. The two following days are spent studying mystical Shamanic concepts and working with the five elements. We end the retreat with a final ceremony to anchor in love and compassion.

“I loved every minute of this shamanic group retreat! Several great teachers came into my life. Some provided soft guidance to point me in a healthy direction. Others were there to offer soothing healing touch when I was feeling frayed and disconnected from the “psychic connections” flowing from one session to another. The lessons entered my heart like a warm breeze, while others felt like an absolute awareness of the heart.
This weekend was all things for me: relaxation, hard work, soothing, jarring, easy, and tough. I went through so many emotions and dried a lot of tears. Sometimes not even realizing that the pain was there until one of the teachers gave it a swift kick or gentle nudge. Thank you to Daniel and Troy! I love each of you in a very special distinct way.”
