It's so hard to explain what a "soul adventure" is to someone who has not gone through it.
A few months ago, after almost a year of marriage, my wife and I decided to invest into ourselves and our relationship by doing a couple's retreat. I stumbled across Sedona Soul Adventures and I am so glad that I did.
We worked with Cara, our angel guide, to put together a unique package that would work best for our situation; this was after she interviewed us separately, and then we agreed on a program/retreat that was best for us. What I loved most was that Cara provided options for us (if money was no problem, getting the most out of your soul adventure, bare minimum recommended) so that we could take a look at what each program was about and decide which route we'd like to take.
We ended up doing everything she recommended (the "if money was no problem" package and even added an extra couple's massage session) and I'm so glad that we did.
Though my wife and I were unsure what to expect, since we've never done anything like this before, we trusted that they knew what they were doing. We figured, at a minimum, we'd get a good 1 year anniversary/honeymoon celebration out of it.
When we met with Cara on day 1, she was so gentle and helpful as she guided us through what we'd be doing. They provided all sorts of information from directions, things to do, places to visit, and even where to eat. The entire office staff was so kind to us and they had a certain air about them...very calm, peaceful, happy...even Debra the owner had a certain sense about her.
My wife was more skeptical than I was (we can both talk our way around therapists) but that was quickly squashed at our first session. Every one of the practitioners that we worked with seemed to know exactly what we needed most, how to handle us (both together and separate), and we left Sedona changed.
Before the retreat even ended, probably after our first session, my wife and I already started making a mental list of people that we knew could benefit from a soul adventure...but we promised ourselves that during our adventure, we'd focus on us and no one else. We were able to see life in so many different perspectives, catch ourselves when we went down rabbit holes, and learned to enter our heart space...which was the greatest gift they could've ever given us.
Because each retreat is catered to the individual/couple, it's so hard to tell someone what it is or what they should/can expect. The only thing I can say is...you just have to trust it and just do it. Go in with an open heart and and open mind. This will change your life.
I am confident that a year from now, a few years from now, or even a decade from now, I am going to be so grateful that we decided to invest the money in ourselves and our marriage. We had a healthy relationship going in...and we came out even stronger.
Cara, Debra, Ranjita, Denny, Marianna, Gwen, Miguel, Robin, Kate, Rhonda, Mona, and Komala - you guys have changed our lives in ways that you won't even know. There's no way that I can even begin to thank you for the impact that you guys have had on our lives. Thank you so much for going on this amazing journey with us. We are so grateful to have made so many friends along the...
Read moreI took a while to write my review on my retreat from July 6th 2021 because I wanted time to really absorb my experience with Sedona Soul Adventures and give the most helpful review I could. I called during one of the lowest points of my life and Heather, my soul guide on the other end of the phone, let me cry and vent for over an hour. She knew exactly what I needed and based on my timeline and financial limitations, had a retreat ready to go for me in a week. I spent a total of 5 days in Sedona (and a 43 hour road trip, which created an even better experience for extra quiet and alone time,for my heart and soul.) I met a total of seven professionals who specialized in everything from Energy healing, to understanding the Enneagram, to understanding Highly Sensitive People, to Breathwork meditation, to what was holding me back, to embracing emotional release and what to fill in it's place, to personal acceptance, true authenticity and respecting my journey, to bridging the gaps and connecting the dots between myself and the people I love the most. I cried a lot and I laughed a lot. I met individuals who I gave me guidance that I will hold in my heart for the rest of my life. This retreat did not give me answers, only I can do that for myself. This retreat gave me tools, direction, considerations and feedback for me to use to come to my own, personal solutions to continue with my individual growth and understanding of myself. Debra, Heather, Robin, Sondra, Sher, Heather L, Marianna, Paula and Christine offered me love, respect, understanding, compassion and friendship. It was up to me to accept their gifts and immerse myself in all their teachings and enlightenment. The results have included: *much less depression about my inner confusion and personal turmoil. *a stronger foundation of understanding and communication between my husband and myself, which has also reinforced the bond my son and I hold (becoming one of the most enlightening moments of the retreat, taking my breath away with what I discovered.) *Guidance on what to do and where to go when it comes to continued understanding and developments within my own identity and comprehension of my characteristics and personality. *what to do when my anxiety has become too much and too strong; you do have ways to turn it around for yourself. *a better appreciation of my uniqueness and how to embrace the things I for so long saw as setbacks, problems and obstacles.
I could go on and on. Bottom line, if you WANT to help yourself from what is holding you back, if you WANT to get back to what you love, who you know you are and what makes you fulfilled and truly happy, Sedona Soul Adventures will give you the tools and guidance to stop asking so many questions about yourself and remember what living is suppose to be about. Thank you for your love and your presence to help me fill...
Read moreNothing has done for me what my Sedona Soul Adventure did. I have been an alternative medicine practitioner for over 20 years and these wonderful people have blessed my life tremendously... This experience has helped me in my work, my private practice, my relationship and my family. I did my adventure back in 2018 and I still continue to step into my highest potential with their support year after year. I love how you can keep growing with this team. To get the most out of it you have to be open to the possibilities...you can't receive the gifts if you show up with your arms crossed at your chest. lol Some of the gifts I received were immediate and some took 2 years to take root in my heart and grow in my world. In the past 15 years I have invested in doing group retreats, workshops, classes, certifications, courses, you name it...but nothing, I mean nothing has yet to compare to this experience. These extraordinary master practitioners have helped me to: release negative patterns of my past, heal core wounds, release/process grief & trauma, deepening my meditation practice, cultivate my intuitive gifts, heal from abusive relationships, improve my family dynamics, heal codependency, navigate my hsp gifts (sensitivity) better, rebalance my nervous system, be a better role model for my kids, step more fully into my personal power, cultivate selflove, create a better life balance, a life I love and attract a wonderful, grounded deeply loving man. I referred my friends and family as well. They have helped my family rise up right along with me and helped them step more fully into their potential too. I am eternally grateful and feel so blessed to be working with this team still all these years later. My life looks nothing like it did 8 years ago thanks to my ongoing soul journey with Sedona Soul Adventures. I love my life more than ever and I owe it all to Debra and her amazing team at Soul Adventures. This one is a no brainer,...
