At SpiritQuest, our private shamanic retreats in Sedona offer a transformative journey that helps heal fear, restore your connection to nature, and awaken a deeper sense of purpose. Surrounded by the sacred red rocks, you are invited to reconnect with the natural world, your inner guides, and the deeper wisdom that already lives within.
Guided by practitioners who have walked this path themselves; this is not a workshop. It is an initiation. True transformation begins when you release the need to analyze every experience, and instead allow yourself to directly experience the mystery of life.
Our approach is rooted in Neo-Shamanism, the understanding that mystical experience is available to anyone who is open to it. We believe the answers you seek are not found outside of yourself. They emerge when you create space to listen.
By engaging in our shamanic retreat, you choose to reclaim your ancestral lineage, energetic body, and awaken your connection to spirit and nature.

What Shamanic Tools to Ground, Clear, and Restore Yourself
Shamanic Packages for Energy Clearing & Earth-Based Ceremony
At SpiritQuest Sedona Retreats, our approach to shamanic work is grounded in ceremony, energetic cleansing, and connection to the elements. Each experience is designed to help you move beyond the dark night of the soul and restore balance within your system. Through time-honored, earth-based practices, we help you tap into ancient wisdom and intuitive intelligence.
Through personalized, one-on-one sessions, you’ll engage in ceremonial practices such as Dreamweaving, Earth Medicine Wisdom, Four Elements, the Way of the Peaceful Warrior, and many more. Set within the stunning landscape of Sedona, these experiences take place on high vistas, by the creek, in sacred canyons, and in other stunning, unique locations.
Our experienced practitioners guide you through each step with intention, creating a space where you will scan your energetic body, establish your energetic shield, dive into ancestral wisdom, reconnect with Mother Earth, and embrace your own creative power. Our shamanic retreats are holistic, experiential journeys and do not provide licensed therapy or clinical treatment.
Nature’s Timeless Voice is Always Speaking
Ancestral and animist traditions have observed that nature has always provided direct insights. Something as small as a hummingbird can be sending you a message and you are sending messages back: what are they? Get clear on your energetic signature and the way that nature awakens your direct knowledge of yourself. How does a twist in a juniper tree relate to your path? What can you learn from a lizard crossing in front of you? Is there wisdom to be found in direct experience and observation? We believe this to be true, and our Shamanic retreats are dedicated to rekindling this innate nature-wisdom that is your birthright.

Tools & Techniques Utilized for Shamanic Retreats
We use important tools during your retreat, such as working with animal guides, drumming, smudging, and facilitating a soulful connection to the land. These ceremonial sessions are rooted in a simple truth: by tuning into your own intuition and reconnecting with nature, you expand your consciousness and return to a natural state of wholeness.
Cord-Cutting & Soul Retrieval
We use Cord-Cutting to release dysfunctional energetic ties or “cords” and replace them with healthy new bonds. Cord-cutting is an energetic journey where you identify negative energetic connections to anything or anyone in your life. By releasing these, you open up the space to invite in positive energies and then learn how to nurture those new connections.
Through soul retrieval, fragmented aspects of yourself are reintegrated. This takes place through a process of deep diving into aspects of yourself that feel shattered or not whole. Once identified, we use a shamanic process to invite all parts of yourself to harmonize and regain a soul alignment. This may involve drumming, smudging, visualization, and/or other rituals.

Benefits of a Solo Shamanic Retreat Package
Note: Our Shamanic retreats take place primarily outside with ceremonial tools. If your interest is in hiking and vortex discovery rather than in ceremonial connection to the land, our Sedona Vortex Experience might be a good fit for you.
Our Proven Process for Lasting Change
Shamanic Transformation Story
Jack T. – From Corporate Burnout to Shamanic Awakening
“Jack called SpiritQuest seeking to deal with his high-pressure corporate life and return to his truest self. Yearning to connect with Nature, I suggested a Shamanic Retreat to reconnect with his body and explore his inner guides. Jack mentioned that he was looking for tools to manage work stress. I lined up a program that would allow him to immerse himself in Sedona to reconnect with his deepest roots. Jack’s goal was to leave the boardroom behind and step into an adventure, and I knew I could design an experience for him that would be unforgettable.” -Troy, Owner & Coach
Jack’s Shift: From Disconnection to Feeling Alive Again
Transformations like Jack’s illustrate the power of our Sedona Shamanic Retreats. Having journeyed from the constraints of the corporate world to a state of peace, Jack shared these reflections on “reclaiming his inner wisdom” through the medicine of the land:
“I came to SpiritQuest feeling like I had lost my soul to a computer screen and a boardroom. I was bone-tired and disconnected from anything real. From the moment the retreat began, I felt the shift. Being out on the red rocks, feeling the sun on my face and the water on my feet, I finally felt like I was coming home to myself. I especially loved the Shamanic Sound session with Marcus. The Shamanic sessions were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. The rhythm of the drum seemed to vibrate through my bones, clearing away years of corporate stress. During the cord-cutting, I could actually feel the weight of old obligations falling away. I reconnected with a sense joy I thought was gone forever. I’m leaving Sedona not just with a clear head, but with a renewed sense of self. I finally feel rooted, powerful, and truly alive again. Thank you SpiritQuest!”

Orientation/Intention Setting 9:30
Begin your Shamanic Journey by orienting yourself to Sedona and to SpiritQuest. Go over your program, set your intentions, and get ready for positive manifestation. You are the master of your destiny!
Releasing Ceremony – 2 hrs. (Outside)
Your retreat will begin when your SpiritQuest guide takes you out for a special releasing ceremony. During this session, you will venture out on the Vortexes of Sedona, AZ. You will reach deep to identify all that you have been holding on to. It’s now time to release anything that does not serve you. What a perfect way to start a retreat.
Soul Recovery – 1.5 hrs.
“Soul Pieces” are aspects of yourself that became fragmented due to trauma or emotional upheaval. When the psyche perceives an event as too overwhelming and the “Chitta” takes over, it seeks to protect you by separating a part of itself from your main energy system. The fragmented part then holds the full emotional impact of the event so that your psyche can continue to function intact. The price for this protection however is often a loss of spirit, which manifests as being ‘shut down’ or ‘lost’ in some area of your life. In a Soul Recovery session, the lost part is retrieved and returned to you so that you can become whole again.
Myofascial Release Treatment – 1.5 hrs.
Fascia is a seamless web of tissue that covers and connects the muscles, organs, and skeletal structures in our body. Stress, trauma, or just habitual poor posture has a cumulative effect on the fascia, eventually causing stiffness and pain. This deeply effective treatment applies sustained pressure to fascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore your range of motion. It helps release deep stress and tension in the body and soul.
Earth Medicine Wisdom – 2.5 hrs. (Land Journey)
Tap into the wisdom of the Ancient Ones, feel your roots, reconnect once again with Mother Earth. Let your SpiritQuest guide bring you back to your connection with all things. You will be taken to a special location on the sacred land of Sedona. Learn about your Animal Power Guides and how they can assist you to make good insightful decisions. Reclaim your innocence and feel your heartbeat once again.
Dreamweaver Journey – 1.5 hrs.
This experiential session expands self-awareness and insight through Active Imagination, guided meditation, and the wisdom of images. Exploring dreams and life situations, listen deeply to image voices as they come alive offering insights and transformation. Hear the wisdom of ancestral callings, animal visitation instinctual power, and the musings of the soul. Images carry inner knowing, innate sensibility, and potency to open to the depths of your own experience. Participate in life more fully rooted in the ground of your being. From this ground, you will experience the support to grow your creative wings and expand your vision to encompass wholeness.
Shamanic Sound – 1.5 hrs.
Discover the Shamanic pathway to break through old limitations and unveil the ecstatic beauty and wisdom of who you really are through this Shamanic Sound Journey with SpiritQuest. This powerful mystic Spiritual Shamanic session, creates a high frequency energy in the vortexes where conscious, connected breathing and sound is used to deepen your direct connection to and respect for the innate body wisdom and awaken and activate every cell in the body, leaving you more alive than ever before!
Four Elements – 3 hrs. (Land Journey)
This session brings balance, healing, and strength to one’s self and connection to all life. Honor and celebrate the cleansing power of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Explore the elements in depth through meditation, nature immersion, letting go, breathwork, and creating new intentions in your life. First, you will visit a Medicine Wheel, to help with your “vision” to see exactly where you are and in which areas you need to develop in order to realize your life purpose. This session involves an altar of gratitude, as well as a drumming activation to prepare for an astounding release. This unique and life-changing session will accelerate your spiritual growth and take you to the next level of consciousness. This is a deluxe immersion into the concept of the Elements.

This meditative session is essential to having a full and joyous life. When we have forgotten who we are and no longer feel balanced and whole we can lose sight of the serenity of life. Explore deep in the still waters of the soul. Look into your own eyes. Re-connect with who you are.
Sedona Deluxe Treatment – 1.5 hrs.
This deluxe treatment allows you to relax with the healing herb of Lavender. Incorporating this essential oil, you receive a nurturing body massage as well as a hand and foot treatment. Special attention is given to the head, neck, and shoulders. Feel yourself relax and stress drain away!
Cord Cutting – 1.5 hrs.
This session requires that you open your heart and forgive. When you forgive, you become free. You are energetically connected to every person who’s ever been significant in your life. Often those cords become painful and create negative energy. This session relates to the Hawaiian technique of Ho O Pono Pono, you can gently sever those cords, sending the person’s energy back to them and taking yours back into yourself. Then, if appropriate (if you choose to continue a relationship with that person), the cords will reform on a fresh and (with your proper intention) more positive basis. Your relationship with another person must be empowering to both of you for it to be healthy. Through the power of letting go and forgiving you can go on with your life feeling whole and complete.
Medicine Wheel Teachings – 1.5 hrs. (Outside)
A Medicine Wheel is a physical creation of stones on the ground with pointer stones in each direction (north, south, east, west). It helps with our “Vision,” to see exactly where we are and which areas we need to develop to realize our full potential. Your guide will help you discover where you are in your life and which areas need to shift.

At this point, you are revived and ready for new beginnings.
