Our 2022 Egypt trip originally sold out in less than 2 weeks, but now we’ve had 4 people who had to cancel — so we have 4 spots available.
Here’s your chance to go on this trip of a lifetime, but you must act fast!
We go to all the must-see places:
We’ll also see the brand new National Museum of Egyptian Civilization where they have some of the most famous mummies in the world (they just opened in April).
And we go to places that the average tourist doesn’t go to, with special admissions provided for our group.
One of the first things you might be thinking is – “Is Egypt safe?” I was just there in February and (as usual) it was wonderful, incredible, and safe.
Everyone in the group commented that they felt completely safe.
Can you believe it? This will be my 22nd trip to Egypt! The first time I went was in 1983 and I’ve been taking groups there every year since 2004. I’ve been working with my Egyptian travel partners since 1995. The Egyptian people are some of the warmest, friendliest people you will ever meet, and they love Americans.
We are also on a new cruise ship (one I’ve never even seen) and I am told by my Egyptian travel partners that it is absolutely incredible!
Watch the video and you can see for yourself:
Over the years, people have asked me if it’s necessary to have done a Soul Adventures retreat to go on our trip? It’s not a requirement (but it’s very wonderful).
And to answer COVID questions, it is not required to be vaccinated to go to Egypt. We will need to do a COVID test before entering the country and a test to re-enter the United States (even vaccinated people need to do the test). We handle all the arrangements for the test to come back into the US – we did it this past February and it was simple and easy.

Or call me (928) 204-5988 – I love talking about Egypt! I’m away Sunday and Monday of this week, but I’ll be back on Tuesday.
This is truly going to be an amazing trip! I hope you’ll join us!

Julia says her Soul Adventures retreat was “transformational” and “felt like coming home to myself”
Julia really gets to the heart of what happens in a Soul Adventure in this brief review. It’s:
I love this so much because that’s exactly what happens here. We’re cleaning away the gunk, the trauma, the blocks and the emotional anxiety that is holding you back from living your best life or having the relationship of your dreams. It’s all possible when you clear that all out and come back into connection. Coming back home to yourself, to the real you.
Do a Sedona Soul Adventures retreat. Contact us, connect with one of our Soul Guides. They’ll custom design the perfect retreat to take you from where you are to where you want to be.

We received this review last week and I wanted to share it with you.
It is still so amazing to me, even after 20 years and thousands of people, what happens when people come on their Sedona Soul Adventure. Gabby came to us and in her own words, she was:
My gosh, Gabby, I’m so glad you found us.
And you know, it’s so interesting to me that she says that she “felt led to the website from divine intervention.” It means so much to me that she recognizes that because over 20 years ago, when we were just starting Sedona Soul Adventures, I was doing a meditation with one of our Practitioners, and a being came in and said she was the Angel of Sedona, that she was here to help us and that she would be sending people to us. She said that people would find us in weird ways because electronics are part of the ethers and so she would be doing things to help people find us.
I can’t tell you how many stories I have heard over the past 20 years of people telling me, “it’s so strange, I kept typing in something else and your website kept coming up” or “I was on another website and pushed a button and suddenly your website came up” or different stories of weird things happening electronically.
Thank you, Angel of Sedona, you’ve been better than a marketing campaign!
She also told us that everyone who contacts us is supposed to come and over the years, I’ve taken that as a sacred trust. When Gabby says the experience was very sacred for her, that’s exactly what it is.
And look what happened here. Gabby decided to go for it and she jumped in and she really got it:
Then she says one of my favorite things:
“It was perfectly curated for exactly what I needed.”
Because this is the real secret of why the Sedona Soul Adventures work the way we do. Because we spend so much time connecting with you and figuring out what do YOU need, what do YOU want? What’s going to change YOUR life?
It’s not like going to a group retreat or workshop where everyone is getting the same thing. What caused your hurts, wounds, and blocks is completely different than what caused someone else’s. How can you go to a group retreat or workshop and get help for exactly what you need?
The short answer is, you can’t.
Before I came to Sedona for the first time 21 years ago, I had gone to so many group retreats and workshops, read so many books, and taken so many classes. And none of that really made a difference on a deep level.
It wasn’t until I came here and started working one-on-one with these amazing Practitioners that my life was transformed. And I’m so happy I’ve now been able to bring that same kind of transformation to so many individuals and couples.
And I love it so much that our At Home Virtual Retreats are packing the same kind of punch and creating the same kind of transformations.
Our Practitioners are Masters at utilizing the energy and then connecting you with the energy, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re in their healing space or in your living room – the transformations are going to happen.
Give us a call. Speak with one of our Soul Guides. They’ll connect with you (or both of you for a Couples Retreat) and start the process of uncovering the blocks, wounds, and gunk that are holding you back from the life or relationship of your dreams. Then they’ll custom design a retreat that will take you from where you are to where you want to be.
Or if you’d prefer, call us at (928) 204-5988 or click here and one of our Soul Guides will call you.

We’re about to start our 20th year at Sedona Soul Adventures and I think that means a big part of my karma has been handled.
Many of you know that I was a divorce attorney in Omaha, Nebraska for 20 years prior to coming to Sedona for the first time in January 1999. I was also a mediator for 15 of those 20 years.

During that time, I required all of my clients to go to therapy, it was a condition of my taking their case – my hope being that it would maybe get some people back together. The problem was, it never did, not once in 20 years!
It was painful to see people who had once loved each other, built a life together, and usually had children, have everything end because they just simply didn’t know how to “do” their relationship any longer. Most often, their level of communication was so far off the rails that they could never come back and the ways they were hurting each other had just gone too far.
So it’s been tremendously gratifying to have spent the last 20 years helping people stay together. I figure my karma has now been handled – I spent 20 years divorcing people, now I’ve spent 20 years helping them stay together.
I love what this couple wrote last week about their Soul Adventure:

Isn’t that so great? Their relationship has been changed and they’re looking forward to their “better forever.”
Here are some other beautiful messages from couples after their Soul Adventure.
“Our Soul Adventure was a 10++! From a professional standpoint, mental health, cognitive therapy, etc., can only take you so far. These sessions can take you the rest of the way.”
Vivian and Pete Gutierrez
Florida
“Sedona Soul Adventures was a truly wonderful experience from every vantage point. It was relaxing, refreshing, all venues were extremely professional and a life remembering experience. At first, we thought it would be “too far out there”, being a Conservative Christian Catholic, however, the experience was 100% opposite — it was “RIGHT ON THE MARK.”
Rena & Mark Norcross
North Carolina
“I don’t think I could do it in a few sentences…lol, but let me just say this, my partner and I have been on this journey for over a year. We decided to do a different kind of vacation and see what was out there in terms of spiritual retreats, seminars, etc. We both found your website at different times in our searching. We eventually looked it over together and made the phone call, thus the leap of faith. It was one of the best experiences we have ever done together. I can honestly say without hesitation we were led by spirit to your company and were incredibly blessed in taking that leap of faith and trusting it would work out. It was more than we hoped for, more than we bargained for, and more than we could have dreamed of. It stretched us both and we will never be the same, and we are so grateful. Grateful for the incredible practitioners we were so blessed to meet, seriously words cannot describe my gratitude to them for sharing their knowledge and love, it touched my heart deeply. Grateful for your vision, Debra, in bringing together such incredibly talented and gifted people who care about this spiritual walk we are all on. Who share it with such life and enthusiasm and who are such wonderful vessels where the energy and love flow through them. Thanks so much to all the practitioners and people we met through SSA. Thank you, Debra, for your creative vision, it was an honor to experience it on such a deep and personal level.”
DeAnn Cain & Ellen Crownover

“Sedona Soul Adventures gave my husband and me a set of tools to work on a new partnership. As a result of my experience, I feel that I can be more honest and kind with myself. In short, I’m much less weighed down with the past, so I feel a new sense of hope and excitement about the future. I also have a better understanding of the need to be more present in the present!”
Alexandra and John Shively
Alaska
And what’s especially wonderful is to work with couples who are not in crisis, but really want to take their love to the next level:
“This was probably the most amazing experience we have had in our lives and definitely as a couple. We did not have marriage challenges going into the retreat, but we still came out of the adventure much closer and with a renewed sense of direction. We feel like we are on fire! We are ready to go out into the world and live our lives with joy and purpose! We want to make the most of our human experience and use our close partnership to support each other’s life purposes. Our lives have changed forever because of our Sedona Soul Adventure and it was just the boost we needed to grow in marriage and in life. We have a whole new perspective on our lives and we can truly see the endless possibilities now. We both feel so blessed that we were able to experience this adventure together and we will most definitely return to discover even more about our true selves as we travel along this path. Thanks to everyone at Sedona Soul Adventures who made this experience possible. We wish for everyone there to receive love and joy that they have given us.”
Josh & Jen Barcher
Colorado
And this is my personal favorite:
“My wife of 12 years (Together for 14) and I have two children ages 4 and 8. Up until about 18 months ago, we lived a “fairy-tale” marriage. In short, about a year and a half ago that all suddenly changed. The connection was deteriorating. After months of marriage counseling the ‘D’ word was coming up more and more often despite our desperate attempt to put the pieces back together. We never were able to get to the core of what was sending us in different directions. I sent my wife the link to Sedona Soul Adventures… she could not believe that it came from me. She was so excited, and so was I. I cannot share the details, but what I can share is that our relationship is renewed, passionate, and loving. We are connected more than the day we married back 12 years ago. I learned I do have a spiritual side. I am a spirit having a human experience. My wife is beautiful just the way she is. She now loves her newfound ability to communicate. Our communication is better than ever, and our romance is better than ever. Our marriage is safe, and there is no turning back. Thank you to you and your entire team of loving and talented individuals for all you do.”
Frank & Valerie Farmington

What a blessing to be able to have helped so many people over the years!
If your relationship isn’t giving you all that you want and desire, please give us a call. Come to Sedona and experience for yourself the transformations that thousands of others have experienced over the past 20 years. Or do the retreat At Home – those are just as transformational.
Or if you’d prefer, call us at (928) 204-5988 or click here and one of our Soul Guides will call you.
Connect with one of our Soul Guides and they’ll connect with you (both of you for a Couples Retreat) and dig deep to find out what’s causing the trouble – what are the hurts and wounds that need to heal? Then they’ll custom design a retreat that will take you from where you are to where you want to be.
As I always say – If you knew what could happen, you’d be calling us right now!

Over the past week, we got a bunch of amazing reviews on Trustpilot (the 3rd party review site we use which verifies these are real people writing real reviews). The great part is, we’re always getting fantastic reviews, but these just really stood out for me.
When I saw the first line of this one, it made me catch my breath:
Oh my gosh, doesn’t that just get you? Ali was just hanging on before she came to us. And after her Soul Adventure:
And isn’t it absolutely amazing that all happened in just 3 short days? A lifetime of hurt and anxiety is gone, replaced by inner peace, a knowing that all is well, with her inner child feeling safe at last.
And here’s my favorite part:
“I can now, with my newly learned information, travel through life
more peacefully. I don’t have to understand everything, just breathe
and know that I’m okay.”
This is the most powerful part. Because during her adventure, we removed all the “gunk,” all the negative chatter was released, her soul was renewed, her inner child knows she’s safe and we brought her back into connection on all the levels – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual.
When that happens, you’re filled with inner peace. It’s just there. You don’t have to do anything to summon it, it’s just there. And then you can just move through life knowing that all is well, I don’t have to be worried about anything, I don’t have to understand everything, I just have to breathe and know that I’m okay. WOW! She got it!!
Another adorable one came from Cheryl on Wednesday.
I love this, having a G Switch! From Grudges to Gratitude!
Are you holding onto some grudges?
I will tell you, if you are, you are killing your life force. And the grudges are killing you, not the other person – that’s the unholy truth. If you’re holding grudges, you’ve got to do something about it before it’s too late. Life is too short.
When you can move into gratitude, that brings so much life force to you. Gratitude is the quickest way to come into connection on all the levels. And it just feels so good.
Erin really got it also! We cleared out all the blocks, releasing the energy that wasn’t serving her and bringing in everything that she wants – love and peace. Of course, she’s Blissed Out!
And as she said, she had tried to do this on her own, but of course, none of us are taught how to do this. We don’t even know where the blocks are or how they’re affecting us, much less how to clear them out. That’s why our Practitioners are such Masters – because they know how to do it.

Now all the other retreats were here in Sedona, but Diane did one of our At Home Retreats. I love it so much that our At Home Retreats are just as powerful, just as transformational, as our Sedona retreats.
Our Practitioners are Masters at utilizing the energy and then connecting you with the energy, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re in their healing space or in your living room – the transformations are going to happen.
If want to find peace and bliss, give us a call. Speak with one of our Soul Guides. They’ll connect with you (or both of you for a Couples Retreat) and start the process of uncovering the blocks, wounds, and gunk that are holding you back from the life or relationship of your dreams. Then they’ll custom design a retreat that will take you from where you are to where you want to be.

I love Bulletproof Coffee. It tastes great, it has lots of fat in it (butter from grass-fed cows) and lots of energy. I also really like David Asprey, who is the man behind Bulletproof Coffee. He’s a very successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur, who’s done all kinds of what he calls, “Biohacks,” to make his life better — he used to weigh 300 pounds (now he’s 180), he’s into meditation and I very much love his message about living the most wonderful life possible.
So I received this graphic from one of his postings this week and I love it, because it’s so true. I hope you won’t be offended by this (I put in the * to help with that), but I think the message is so powerful.

Even if you don’t like the word, isn’t this what all of us want?
To be truly at peace.
To be truly in touch with that highest part of yourself.
So that no matter what anyone says or does, it doesn’t bother you.
And no matter what happens, there is no negativity that can even touch you.
Do you feel buffeted by life? That you’re at the mercy of your boss, your mate, your children, the pandemic, etc., etc.?
Or do you feel grounded, peaceful, and like you can handle anything that comes at you?
Think about how you move through your day. Does every little thing set you off — getting cut off in traffic, long line at Starbucks, too much work to do, problems with your mate, children, co-workers or friends?
Or even worse, do you feel like your life is passing you by? Do you have a lot of regrets?
Or are you living a life of purpose and accomplishing all that you want, no matter what that is?
Most people that I see seem to think that they are at the mercy of forces outside of themselves, and for some people those feelings have been made worse by the pandemic. They feel that they don’t have any control over their lives and they “can’t help it” when they react negatively and feel hopeless.

It really all comes down to a decision — are you going to live life or let life live you? What I mean by that is, are you going to be the one deciding how your life is going to be or are you going to allow yourself to be buffeted around by everything that happens?
When we are living our lives in connection on all the levels — physical, mental, emotional, spiritual — we are centered and balanced. We’re like a tree with very deep roots. We’ll feel the wind when it blows every day, but it just moves our branches around in a beautiful dance.
When you’re living your life in connection, you have the feeling and the knowing that nobody can mess with you, because you’re centered and grounded. It’s a pretty wonderful feeling.

The sad truth is, most people are living their lives in some level of disconnection – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual.
Things that have happened to us throughout our lives have created thoughts, beliefs, patterns, and energetic blocks (what I call “gunk”) that are holding us back and making it impossible for us to move forward. That’s why we have this feeling that we’re slogging through life.
The question is, how do you get to that place?
Well, it’s about finding, releasing, and moving through the thoughts, beliefs, patterns, wounds, and energetic blocks (the “gunk”) that is causing the trouble, moving back into connection, and then staying there. And, of course, that’s exactly what happens with a Sedona Soul Adventure.
Our Angel Guides and Master Practitioners (we have over 50!) are absolutely amazing in their ability to:
It’s been so interesting because what we’ve found is that the pandemic has actually made people even more determined to live their best lives:
It’s simply amazing what can happen in just a few days. See what happened for Lisa:
“I was skeptical and nervous at first, wondering if I was making the right choice or not. My life was falling apart, I was lost, scared, confused, and just ready to give up until I went on my Soul Adventure. Everyone there is just totally incredible. Everything they taught me I have been able to bring home and use in my daily life and I am feeling stronger and stronger. I truly believe that had I not taken this time for myself and taken my ‘Soul Adventure,’ I would not be here today. How can I ever thank all of you for what you have given me.”

For so many people, the same stuff happens. When you’re first together, you want to be with that other person all the time, you can’t get enough of them. And then you get married, the kids come, life is so hectic, etc, etc, etc.
And then suddenly you look up one day and the thrill is gone…
Watch my video, I have some surprising things that you can do about it.
Is it time to make your relationship a priority? If so, maybe think about doing a Couples Retreat with us.
One of the huge benefits of our Couples Retreats is that they are completely private — you won’t be in a group with a bunch of strangers. All of your sessions are either one-on-one or two-on-one with our Master Practitioners, many of whom have over 20 years of experience working with couples. All of their focus is on you and they know how to heal the wounds and bring your relationship to the next level.

Today, I suddenly found this newsletter that was marking our 10 year anniversary back in 2012 (gosh that feels so long ago!) and it gave me goosebumps (you’ll understand that even more completely at the end), so I had to share it with you. It’s so amazing to think now it’s been 19 years!

When I first came to Sedona in January of 1999, I had no idea of everything that was in store for me and the thousands of people who would come to connect with us.
In looking back, I’ve thought about some of the most amazing, poignant, and incredible things that have happened over the years. I’ve asked some of our fabulous past clients for permission to share their stories. And so many people have been so generous.
The first one is from Susan Perkins and it’s so beautiful… Here it is…
“To all who are willing and open to living the best life possible…
My name is Susan Perkins and this is my miracle. Last year, I suffered a terrible loss. My relationship of seven years broke apart. It was more than just a relationship because we were best friends, business partners, and of course, we owned our home together. That being said, the breakup was devastating because I lost everything at once. I felt my life had been pulled out from underneath me. I went into a full-blown depression. I didn’t know that depression could be so paralyzing and my only thoughts were that of suicide because I could not function. I literally felt paralyzed.
The phone rang and it was my dearest friend of 35 years. She heard my voice and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” I said in a weak pathetic tone.
She asked again “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” I sighed.
She asked a third time, “What’s Wrong?”
“EVERYTHING!!!” I cried.
Immediately without the slightest hesitation, she said ” Oh My God, we have to get to Sedona! I am going to have someone call you now and do a meditation over the phone. Within the next five minutes, there was an angel from Arizona on the line meditating and sending me love in my time of crisis. After talking to Debra, I packed my bags and was on my way.
I have tears streaming down my face as I write this because Sedona Soul Adventures changed my life forever. We flew into Phoenix and drove up to Sedona at dusk. It was late when we checked into a very charming bed and breakfast. After a good night’s sleep, I woke up and looked out the window. I had never seen anything so beautiful as the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona. I remember thinking that it didn’t even look real. We met Debra on top of a vortex that overlooked all of Sedona. It was breathtaking. We sat down and Debra started a meditation, a prayer to the Universe for me. Tears were rolling down my eyes as I listened to her words. She looked over at me and said my third eye was opening. This was all new to me… vortexes, meditating, third eye, etc… Well, I just went with it and thank God I did.
Every session helped my heart and spirit to open up. During one of my clearing sessions, my life was totally transformed. I have told this story a thousand times and I get chill bumps every time I do! I was lying on the table with my eyes closed and an eye pillow over them when all of the sudden I started to see angels and explosions. The way I always describe it is like I was seeing the Big Bang happening. I didn’t know if this was a video on the ceiling or if it was in my head. I raised my hands to touch my eyes and the eye pillow was still over them. I was so excited. It was so beautiful. I kept repeating over and over in my head, “I don’t ever want this to stop… I don’t ever want this to stop… I don’t ever want this to stop.”
When the session was over and the eye pillow was removed, everything was different. Everything was lighter and brighter; I had a grin from ear to ear. I was walking on air!! I knew then that this was it. This was how we were supposed to feel; how we were supposed to live. I had goosebumps and tears of joy. I felt the purest most unconditional love I had ever felt in my life. I had no fear; I felt total forgiveness; Nothing upset me and I knew just what to do. The Universe was speaking to me through everything. I mean everything, the wind, the trees, the birds; everything was so alive! I couldn’t wait to get up at 6:00 am to see what miracles life would bring me next.
I had gone from suicidal thoughts and near-death to the top of the highest mountains, to the stars, to heaven. I was riding the wave high on life. It really was almost indescribable but let’s just say that my dear friend got me to Sedona Soul Adventures and it truly saved my life. I have never been the same since then.
Two weeks later a group of 24 Soul Adventurers from around the world left for Egypt. It was my great fortune to be able to join the group. I mean, is this a miracle or what? I went from near death to The Great Pyramids. It was out of my wildest dreams and I was having the time of my life! Floating down the Nile and exploring temples, standing next to the Sphinx, please someone pinch me! Ouch I am awake and I mean for the first time in my life I can say I am awake. This was the first time in my life that I was really conscious. Thank you, thank you, thank you Sedona Soul Adventures!!
I now work in the Healing Arts at an integrated wellness center. When you have an experience like that you want to share it with everyone! I could write a book about my experience but this is the condensed version. The story is not even slightly exaggerated as a matter of fact it is under exaggerated. I have been back to Sedona Soul Adventures four times and it is one of my dreams to live there someday!!!”
Susan Perkins

On top of all the amazing things Susan wrote is what’s happened since then:
Isn’t it amazing all this stuff that happens? Peoples’ lives are changed, they have incredible adventures, they get married, have children, and live happily ever after! That’s the whole idea.

And so many more things keep happening and people keep coming to us whose lives are transformed forever. I feel so grateful.
I want to invite you to come to Sedona and experience for yourself the transformations that thousands of others have experienced over the past 19 years. This is why we were named:
It’s very simple – it’s because we’re the best!
Give us a call and speak with one of our Soul Guides – they’ll connect with you (or both of you for a Couples Retreat) and start the process of figuring out what’s holding you back from living the life or having the relationship of your dreams. Then they’ll custom design a retreat that is perfect for taking you from where you are to where you want to be.
Or if you’d prefer, call us at (877) 204-3664 or click here and one of our Soul Guides will call you.

What a wonderful surprise this week to discover that we were named to the 11 Best Couples Retreats Around the World. Wow! That’s in the entire world!!
When I was reading the article, I was struck by one thing – the thing that makes us so completely different from all the other retreats that are out there. And that is the fact that we custom design each and every retreat for each couple who comes to us and you work in private one-on-one or two-on-one sessions with our Master Practitioners.
Why is the custom design so important? Because each couple is different and each person within the couple is different. The wounds, hurts, and blocks that brought each of you to where you are at this point, are completely different than what brought your partner here. We spend lots of time speaking with both of you before your retreat starts, so we’re designing a retreat that is exactly what YOU need and want.
With all the other retreats, you’re working in a group of people. We have so many couples who come to us with really serious issues – infidelity, sexual issues, deep problems from their past. There aren’t many people I know who want to share all that deeply personal information with a roomful of strangers.
That’s why the privacy we provide is so important and makes such a difference in the transformations that happen.
In a group retreat (which is NOT what we do), they cover the topics of what they want to cover, and you have to hope they’re going to cover the precise issues you have. But even deeper than that – who is determining the issues you have?
In our private couples retreat, we discover in so many instances that the issues you think are the issues, actually AREN’T the real issues at all. There’s no opportunity to discover that when you’re in a group.
Here’s the article about us:

Did you know Sedona Soul Adventures was also named “Best In Sedona for Retreats” for 2021 and 2022? And “Best Marriage Retreat in the US 5 years in a row (2017-2021)?
It’s so gratifying to be recognized for the work we do here and I want to give a huge shout out to our incredible Master Practitioners and our amazing staff.
This all happens because you are all so committed to helping people live their best lives and have their best relationships.

I think many of you know that I was a divorce attorney for 20 years. It’s been 19 years that I’ve been doing Sedona Soul Adventures and it’s so wonderful to have been able to help so many people not only stay together, but be together in a relationship that is happy, loving, and passionate.

But what’s even better is to speak with one of our Soul Guides. They’ll connect with both of you (separately) to start the process of discovering what are the blocks, the hurts, or the wounds that are holding you back from having the relationship of your dreams.
Then they’ll do what they do best – they’ll custom design a retreat that will take you from where you are to where you want to be designed to bring you back into the love and sizzle that brought you together in the first place.

You know how everybody seems to be fixated on diet and exercise as the only thing they talk about for living a longer and happier life?
What if I told you that many scientific studies show that being happy and having a positive attitude have been proven to be much more important than any of these:

Would you like to learn about a way to give yourself a happier, healthier life? Then join us for our new “Compassion Cultivation Training” 8-week online class – starting September 14, 2021.
Compassion is perhaps the most powerful and effective tool you can use to care for yourself and improve your relationships. Compassion Training builds mental habits that, over time, are demonstrated to open the heart and promote personal well-being, resilience, and meaningful connections, even in challenging circumstances.
Existing research shows that mindfulness and compassion training can meaningfully reduce the symptoms of stress and burnout and improve health outcomes.

We all face difficult situations, challenging relationships, and internal thoughts and beliefs that prevent us from experiencing the best life has to offer. When we become more aware, open, and curious about the world and people around us, we learn to use our natural compassion in practical ways to navigate life’s toughest personal challenges and begin to move through life’s ups and downs with greater confidence and ease.
Practicing compassion can alleviate our worries and fears so we can become powerful forces for good – in our relationships, families, workplaces, and communities.

The Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) is an 8-week online course developed in 2009 at Stanford University (CCARE — Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education) by experts in contemplative studies, psychology, neuroscience, and adult education. The Compassion Cultivation Training© (CCT™) is backed by scientific research and 10,000+ alumni worldwide.

Throughout the training, we help you lean into challenges, build the courage to take compassionate action, manage your emotions, and develop your resilience to prevent empathy fatigue.

The course includes:

I hope you can join us – you’ll be glad you did.

Wishing you a week filled with happy!
I was noodling around in my computer earlier this week and found a questionnaire I had completed back in 2012. Wow – that seems so far away!
I had gone to a workshop in California that was a business workshop, not a spiritual workshop (oh the days when we could just jump on a plane and easily go to California and sit in a hotel conference room with a thousand other people and think nothing of it). I answered these 4 Questions that turned out to be highly spiritual, incredibly insightful, and tremendously helpful.
I was amazed to discover that everything I said I wanted in my answers had actually happened!
I think if you take 10 minutes to answer these questions, it will be tremendously profound for you.

1. What’s frustrating you the most right now?
Isn’t this a great question? It really gets to the heart of what’s eating you. I know for so many people who come to us, they feel like they’re at the end of their rope, some life situation is driving them crazy, or worse, they feel they are not living their best life or their relationship isn’t giving them all that they want. That’s got to be one of the most frustrating things in the world, to have this feeling that you are capable of living a happy, joyful, wonderful life, but you just don’t have the tools to do it. That’s exactly how I felt before I first came to Sedona.
2. What do you want to have happen this year?
Wow, doesn’t that just zero in on it? I love this question. It makes it so immediate. So what do you want to have happen this year? Wouldn’t it be great to have something really amazing and incredible happen? What would that be for you? You’ve still got 4 months left this year to make it happen, a lot can happen in 4 months.
3. What have you tried in the past that’s worked and what have you tried in the past that hasn’t worked?
This one really hits close to home for me because before I came to Sedona for the first time 21 years ago I had read every book, done so many group retreats, done so many workshops, done therapy, and nothing ever really seemed to help. It wasn’t until I was doing one-on-one private sessions that were focused completely on me with the Masters here in Sedona that I really got to the heart of what I needed.
4. What would it take for you to double your happiness during the next year?
I love this one so much because it takes out the complaining aspect of everything that’s wrong and puts it right into your lap. What would double your happiness during this next year? It’s especially fun to answer this question from the standpoint of really knowing that it can happen!
So what are the answers to these questions for you?
And of course, I loved these questions because they pointed out to me once again why a Sedona Soul Adventures retreat is so important. Because literally, we can help identify the source and blocks that are causing the frustrations and help move you into the space of becoming that person who is living a happy, joyful, abundant purpose-driven life. And the best part is – it works!
