The Spark Retreat
is a coming together of friendship and community to ignite our inner wellspring of creative energy, our joy, and our truth. The Spark Retreat is about reconnecting to the spiritual fire, to who we truly are. It’s about reconnecting to the creative aliveness that flows within us and from us. When we spark this inner fire, we bring radiance to everyone we are in contact with and all that we do.
This retreat will move you deep in your body between yoga, meditation, Ayurvedic-inspired meals, and the natural world. We will connect to our energy through breathwork and the ocean breeze. We will calm the mind through mantra, coaching tools, and lounging in hammocks. We will tap into our intuition through writing, dancing, and ceremony.
Together, in this sacred place we will rest, learn, relax, have fun, and move to a place where we remember the truth that all is well, that we are well, and that we have the power to create and live our most magnificent lives.

sedona, Arizona, USA
Sedona and its environs are spiritual epicenters—beautiful, high-vibrational, sacred, energy-shifting places in the US surrounded by sculptural red rocks and lush, high-desert landscapes.
Ancient Springs Retreat Center
Located just outside of Sedona in the verdant Verde Valley, the Ancient Springs Retreat Center sits on six acres surrounded by tall cottonwood and sycamore trees. It has its own artesian spring, ponds, and many paths where you can walk and wander.
The land is a sacred, soulful place. Ancient Springs is home to Indios Huichol, a nonprofit that serves tribal and local communities. (On site, a store sells beadwork, jewelry, embroidered and woven bags, and art from the Wixarika tribal people, and all of the profits go directly to support four Wixarika communities and their Elders.)
Sit with your feet in the stream, gaze at the brilliant night sky, stretch, sing, write, hike, experience the energetic vortexes, and move your energy to higher frequencies.
Rooms
The rooms are set between three dwelling structures: The Cabin, The Pueblo House, and The Suite. Other than The Suite, bathrooms are shared. The rooms have a relaxed, retreat vibe.
