4 Questions that Helped Me Very Much

I was struck this week to come across this exercise that I did at a business workshop almost ten years ago. At the time, even though this was a business workshop (and not a spiritual workshop), answering these questions turned out to be highly spiritual, incredibly insightful and tremendously helpful for me – and I thought they might be for you as well.

I’m hoping that if you’ll take 10 minutes to answer these questions, they could turn out to be as helpful for you as they were for me.

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. 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 over 20 years ago.

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. Especially after the last year we’ve all had, wouldn’t it be great to have something really amazing and incredible happen in this next year? What would that be for you?

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, I had read every book, done so many retreats, done so many workshops, done therapy, and nothing ever really seemed to help. It wasn’t until I was doing one-on-one sessions that were focused completely on me that I really got to the heart of what was happening with me and it changed everything for me.

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? Again, after this last year, isn’t it delicious to even think about the idea of doubling your happiness? It’s especially fun to answer this question from the standpoint of really knowing that it can happen!

I especially loved reading 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 the blocks that are holding you back and move you into the space of becoming that person who is living a happy, joyful, abundant life. And the best part is – it works!

Call us at (928) 204-5988 or click here and one of our Angel Guides will call you. They’ll connect with you (or both of you if it’s a couple) and custom design a retreat that will allow you to live the life you want, have the relationship you’re craving and it might even double your happiness over the next year!

We’re even open on Sunday, because we’re here for you!
Remember, there’s no cost or obligation
and you can do it in-Sedona or At Home.

Special moments in Machu Picchu and Peru

I was flipping through all the photos I have from doing the Peru trip for over 13 years (!) and I was trying to find an especially impressive photo of Machu Picchu. Instead, I just kept coming across different photos of people having special moments on our trips over the years and I found myself saying things like, “Oh, that was so great!” or, “There’s Martina, I love her so much” and, “Look at that beautiful wedding.” We’ve had so many special moments and that’s what happens on these trips — incredible transformations happen and then you have these times when these sweet things happen that you think about years later.

Five years ago we had two people from Canada who contacted me and asked if they could get married while we were in Peru. At first I thought it would be a daunting task, but everyone in Jorge’s office was so excited, gracious and helpful. Here they are kissing at Machu Picchu…

And here’s a photo of everyone from our group at their wedding. They were married right on the shores of Lake Titicaca. It was so sweet and so special, one of my sweetest memories from all the years I’ve gone to Peru.

And here’s Martina connecting with one of the llamas that are at Machu Picchu. They roam all over the place, but it’s special to have them come up to you and really connect, it’s so soulful.

This is one of my favorite moments, where I captured Pamela meditating at Lake Titicaca. Can you just feel the gentle energy emanating from her? You can almost see it. Peaceful, calm and gentle, that’s what happens when we allow these energies to come in.

These special moments are so wonderful and they really demonstrate the specialness of the trip. Being in the energies of these amazing places, really connecting in, connecting with other like-minded seekers, it’s the journey of a lifetime.

Top 5 Deathbed Regrets and How to Not Let Those Happen to You

I think one of the most terrible things in life is regret. And regret at the end of one’s life is even more sad and deep. The book “The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying” was written by a palliative care nurse, Bronnie Ware, who worked for many years with people in the last one to three months of their lives.

This past year has had so much focus on death. I’m hoping we can utilize these thoughts to figure out how we really want to live. Here’s what she said:

Top 5 Regrets of the Dying

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me
“This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honored even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it.”

2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard
“This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. Women also spoke of this regret, but as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.”

3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings
“Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.”

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends
“Often they would not truly realize the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved.”

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier
“This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realize until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to themselves, that they were content, when deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again.”

Gosh, don’t reading these just break your heart?

Why do we tell ourselves we can’t have the life we want? Why do we tell ourselves we have to work so hard? Why can’t we let ourselves be truly happy?

I think we all have emotional blocks, trauma and limiting beliefs that are holding us back from living our best life. The key is to find them, do something about them and start living a life with no regret. The great news is, that’s possible. It’s so interesting to me how all of these issues are exactly the things we work with in our retreats each and every day.

One of the gifts that I’ve seen from this past year is that more and more people have woken up. What people are saying to me is, “I’ve finally realized life is too short to not live the life I truly want to live.” And we have so many couples who are feeling the same way – they want to have the relationship of their dreams and they’re not willing to wait for that to somehow magically appear. They know they need to do something about it.

Are you ready to start living your best life? Are you ready to transform your connection with your partner into the relationship of your dreams? Call us – that’s what we want for you too.

Call us at (928) 204-5988 or click here and one of our Angel Guides will call you. They’ll connect with you (or both of you if it’s a couple) and custom design a retreat that will allow you to live the life you want, have the relationship you’re craving and be happier than you ever thought possible.

Tommy says, “I gained so much knowledge about life and how I’m supposed to be living it” from my Soul Adventure.

“On my Soul Adventure, I gained so much knowledge about life and how I’m supposed to be living it. Sedona Soul Adventures is an amazing team of people who really care about each person who walks thru the door. They are very knowledgeable and loving. My soul adventure truly changed my life!”

Our Machu Picchu & Peru Tour is almost sold out!
June 17-30, 2021

“My trip to Peru was a life altering experience thanks to the efforts of Debra as well as an amazing group of sacred travelers. The universe is such a powerful place. I find it truly amazing how much coordination and dedication it takes to have so many pieces come together to create such a perfect moment in my life. I feel blessed to have been a part of that moment in time as it opened a whole new portal in my life. I cannot begin to express my gratitude. This is an excerpt of an email I sent to one of my best friend after the trip: I laughed. I cried. I was awed. I experienced new dimensions. I felt love and gave love. My gratitude is endless.

I feel fortunate to have experienced the Andes Mountains and people. My heart has expanded to new levels. I am so open and the feeling is other worldly. I have made amazing friends. The group, the leaders and the guide were all amazing teachers. I cannot wait to share everything with you.” – Laura McConnell

This is what happens when you go with us to Machu Picchu and Peru. It’s so much more than just seeing the sites — it’s about really connecting with these amazing places and connecting with that Highest Part of yourself in these places. It’s indescribably delicious, as the old commercial used to say.

And to be at Machu Picchu on the Solstice doing ceremony? Talk about a bucket list item!

The Pursuit of Happiness

I love this quote from Benjamin Franklin:

“The U.S. Constitution doesn’t guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.”

First of all, do you find it as amazing as I do that our forefathers thought that happiness was so important that they included it as one of our rights that needed to be protected?

Here’s the entire quote (and [spoiler alert] it’s actually in the Declaration of Independence):

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

As I pondered this, I clicked on the “definition of pursuit of happiness”:

“The pursuit of happiness is defined as a fundamental right mentioned in the Declaration of Independence to freely pursue joy and live life in a way that makes you happy.”

So again, I find it so incredible that our forefathers thought this was so important that they designed our country around it. That means not only do you have the right to the pursuit of happiness, but I think you have the responsibility to pursue happiness. Because happiness makes you better, it makes everyone around you better, and it makes the world a better place.

It’s so funny to me how when I’m writing these newsletters, that some kind of synchronicity will very often happen. As I was writing this, I randomly opened one of Abraham’s Daily Quotes and it said:

“The best thing you could do for anyone that you love, is be happy!”

It’s just so true. Doesn’t being around a happy person make you feel better? And doesn’t being around an unhappy person just drag you down? That may seem pretty simplistic, but it’s so important.

When we stay in the higher, faster (happier) vibrations, good things come to us. When we’re in the lower, slower (unhappy) vibrations, things in our lives just keep on getting worse and worse. The trick is to figure out how to get into those higher, faster (happier) vibrations and stay there as much as possible.

That’s what my whole life has been about. That’s the basis of why I started Sedona Soul Adventures and it’s the subject of my book, “The Journey To Happy – How Embracing the Concept That Nothing Is Wrong Can Transform Your Life.”

In my book, I tell the story of how when I came to Sedona for the first time in 1999, every part of my life was a mess. I was an unhappy, stressed out, burned out divorce attorney, in an unhappy marriage, $50,000 in debt and 40 pounds overweight. Coming to Sedona and working with the amazing practitioners here, changed everything for me.

I pursued happiness for a long time and finally found it.

The secret is in the subtitle of the book: “How Embracing the Concept That Nothing Is Wrong Can Transform Your Life.”

After struggling for so many years, I finally discovered that it was the struggle that was creating all the problems. The more I hated my job, the worse it got. The more I worried about money, the deeper in debt I went. The more I hated my body, the fatter I got.

What we resist persists. When I was finally able to drop the resistance, everything changed:

• $50,000 dropped out of the sky.
• I dropped 40 pounds (in 5 weeks without diet or exercise).
• I went from doing work I hated to doing the work of my dreams with Sedona Soul Adventures.
• I met and married my soul mate.

How did I do it?

That’s what I talk about in the book. I learned how to drop my resistance and start loving myself. Everything changed for me and that’s when I saw I could bring this to other people — that’s how Sedona Soul Adventures was born.

It’s your responsibility to pursue your happiness. No one else and nothing outside of you can make you happy. It’s all an inside job. That’s the pursuit.

I wrote the book so that more and more people know about Sedona Soul Adventures and the amazing transformations that happen here. What can happen in 3 or 4 days still astonishes me, even after all these years.

If you want to pursue your happiness in a big way (and who doesn’t want to pursue their happiness in a big way?), do a Sedona Soul Adventures retreat. We’ll figure out where the resistance is and what’s holding you back from the life (or the relationship) of your dreams. We’ll take you through the process of learning how to drop the resistance and move into connection. We’ll bring you into the space of really loving yourself. We’ll give you the tools to get you into those higher, faster (happier) vibrations and stay there all the time.

Too good to be true? Actually, it does even more than that!

Contact us, connect with an Angel Guide and they’ll explain how we can do that for you.

Click here and one of our Angel Guides will call you. Or if you’d prefer, call us at (928) 204-5988 (US and Canada). Remember there’s no cost or obligation and you can do your retreat either In Sedona or At Home.

Danielle says her Soul Adventure was “life changing” and now “happiness is here to stay”

“The universe decided that I was going on this retreat on 11.11 and from the moment I made that decision, so many parts of my life started falling into place. I decided to do this trip completely alone and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. This was a life changing experience and now that I am back home, I am “just happy” and I now “get it”. Never in my life did I have the ability to be happy without a reason, but I do now. In the 4 days I have been back, I have been put to the test. I fell back into an old pattern just yesterday but I now have the tools + the ability to snap out of it and get back to the place where I was back in Sedona. Doom + gloom is a place I never want to return back to + happiness is here to stay. When I turned 40 this past summer, I knew that I needed a big change in my life and Sedona Soul Adventures was exactly what the doctor ordered. All of the practitioners I met were all such remarkable, inspirational healers. I had amazing connections with all of them and I learned something different from each one. =)”

Come with me to Machu Picchu & Peru – June 17-30

“The Peru trip was the best experience I have ever had.” ~ Kerry Grant

That pretty much sums it up. The Peru trip is amazing, fantastic, wonderful and incredible. Each year I struggle with trying to find the words that will truly convey all that it is and I feel like I never truly capture it, because it is so incredibly amazing.

“The trip to Peru was beyond all expectations” ~ Laura McAllister

Why is it so fantastic? Here are just a few of the reasons:

Jorge – We are in Peru for two weeks with our incredible shaman and guide, Jorge Luis Delgado. Every year people say that they feel sorry for people who go to Peru without being with Jorge. It’s just not the same experience.

Life-changing – The ceremonies, being with Jorge, being with other like-minded people, is truly transformational and life-changing.

Everything is taken care of for you. I’ve been doing this trip since 2004 and I have to say, it’s pretty much perfect. We have everything meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. You don’t have to think about anything, other than the transformations you’re having. We handle everything else.

Traveling with other like-minded adventurers adds such a depth to this trip. All of my groups are in love with each other within 48 hours, making friendships that last a lifetime. It happens every time, it’s so cool.

We see parts of Peru that other tourists don’t see. We see the important places in Peru —Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo, Lake Titicaca, Pisac, the Sacred Valley — but Jorge also takes us to out of the way places that the typical tourist doesn’t see. In particular, the Doorway of Aramu Muru, which was discovered by Jorge (and which he discusses in his book “Andean Awakenings”).

We are at Machu Picchu for three days – this is important because of the changes. So many other tours only go to Machu Picchu for one day, which I find totally amazing and so sad. They take the train, run around for a few hours and leave. Let me tell you, that is NOT the way to experience Machu Picchu.

The fact that we’re there for three days has become even more important because of changes they’ve initiated in the last 2 years.

Before last year, your ticket allowed you to be at Machu Picchu all day. Now, the Peruvian government has changed it so that you are there in the morning or the afternoon, you are not allowed to be there all day.

On our tour, the first day we will be there for the afternoon. The next day, we will get up at dawn to be there at 6 am so that we can do a sunrise ceremony on the Solstice. The next day we will also get up as early as possible so that we can spend the entire morning there. We want everyone to be able to luxuriate in their experience of Machu Picchu.

We’ll be at Machu Picchu on the Solstice! This is one of the most powerful times of the year and we’ll be doing ceremony at sunrise on that special day. It’s always so incredible.

We have so much fun! We do so many amazing, incredible, fun things, in addition to all the beautiful and uplifting spiritual things we do. The shopping is incredible, we go to one of my favorite restaurants in the world, Indio Feliz in Aguas Calientes, and we see so many special places, including the compound and workshop of Seminario, a world famous master of ceramics. He’s a dear friend of Jorge’s and we get to visit with him on almost every trip.

“My trip to Peru was a life altering experience. I laughed, I cried, I experienced new dimensions.” ~ Laura McConnell

So please join me on this trip of a lifetime.

Linda says “the entire Peru trip was fantastic,”
“the best of all possible worlds”

“The entire Peru trip was fantastic, I would recommend it to anybody if they want to go to Peru, this is the kind of vacation to take. In the future, I won’t be able to travel any other way — it’s so much more meaningful to bond with the group, sharing a spiritual purpose, with a wonderful guide. You have the best of all possible worlds, all your daily needs met, no worries about train schedules or hotel reservations, and the benefit of a guide that is supporting your spiritual path. I didn’t want to leave Machu Picchu…”~ Linda Gunther

The Best Place to Use Your Tax Refund – Infinite Returns…

This past year has been really tough. I’m so glad that things are starting to look up. And I love it that this is the time of year that many people are getting income tax refunds.

Let me ask you a question: What is your priority to use that money?

Do you plan to take a vacation or buy a new car – or, will you choose to spend it where it will do the most good, given all the stresses you’ve experienced through the past year?

Here’s an idea: Spend it on taking care of yourself.

Many people have found that in difficult times, they reach out to help others and sometimes, they neglect their own needs.

Many others simply have this feeling inside that with the “pause” that COVID has given our lives, that there is something missing or something that needs improvement.

Many feel this deep yearning that there are more important things they should be doing as they simplify their lives. Where does a person start?

Wouldn’t it be perfect to spend that extra abundance of a tax refund on the one person who made it possible – YOU!?!

And wouldn’t it be wonderful if you used it in a way that would transform your life or your relationship? Talk about a wonderful return on investment:

• Taking care of yourself
• Finding your life’s purpose and focusing on what is truly important
• Making dramatic improvements in how you live and feel about yourself and your relationships… after all, if you’re not happy inside yourself or your close relationships, life can be difficult.

We have so many people who come to us and say, “I’ve wanted to do this for so many years and now I’m finally doing it!”

Is this the year you give yourself the gift of a Sedona Soul Adventures retreat? We’ve just started our 19th year – isn’t that amazing? And even after all this time and all these thousands of people, I sometimes still can’t believe what happens.

Deborah says, “I was lost and unhappy. I now have a renewed sense of being.”

Are you feeling lost and unhappy like Deborah was before her Soul Adventure? Are you felling like you’ve forgotten who you really are? Can you imagine the exhilaration of finding yourself again? Having a transformation that gives you “a renewed sense of being? To be excited about your life again? That’s what happens here.

Rachel says, “We had a life changing Couples Retreat” that “deepened our connection“

How is your relationship going? I know the past year has really strained a lot of relationships and we want to help. Rachel says their Couples Retreat was life changing. Wouldn’t it feel so good to truly deepen your relationship with your beloved?

If you could transform your life in three days, would that be worth spending your tax refund on it? If you could come back into connection with your beloved and have the relationship of your dreams after four days, would that be worth it to you?

I know some of you are going to be thinking, “Yeah, right, my life will be transformed,” but it really is true. I know because I’ve witnessed it thousands of times. And don’t take my word for it, take Deborah’s, Rachel’s and the hundreds of reviews we’ve received on Trustpilot in just the last few years (if you’d like to read more reviews, click on the stars below).

        

Contact us and connect with one of our Angel Guides. They’ll design the perfect retreat to bring you into the life or relationship of your dreams.

Call us at (928) 204-5988 or click here and one of our Angel Guides will call you. And remember, there’s no cost or obligation and you can do your retreat either here in Sedona or At Home.

Join us for an epic Solstice celebration in Machu Picchu – June 17-30
100% Refundable up to April 1

Having just returned from yet another fabulous trip to Egypt, I’m so incredibly excited about our next trip to Peru! Everything about these trips is so amazing — from the incredible places we experience, doing ceremonies and making life-long friendships with other like-minded adventurers.

If you haven’t looked into the trip before, this is our spectacular trip that we take to Peru each year. Here are the highlights:

• The dates are June 17-30, 2020. We are in Machu Picchu for the Solstice!

• Our shaman and guide is Jorge Luis Delgado, you may have seen him on the History Channel’s “Ancient Aliens”; he is also the Author of “Andean Awakening.” I believe Jorge is one of the most important spiritual teachers on the planet right now.

• We spend three days in Machu Picchu and we’ll be there at dawn on the Solstice doing ceremony.
• We visit the Sacred Valley, the Temple of Ollantaytambo, Sacsayhuman, Urco, Pisac, Sillustani and Cusco.

• We spend five days on Lake Titicaca, visiting the floating reed islands of Uros and spending the night with a local family on Amantani.
• We experience Aramu Muru, the inter-dimensional gateway, which was discovered by Jorge Luis (he describes this journey of discovery in his book). That’s our group at the doorway.

• All along the way we are doing ceremonies and learning the ways of the shaman.
• Everything is taken care of for you and each day is planned perfectly (and has been fine tuned over the past 12 years).
• Doing ceremonies, connecting with other like-minded adventurers, it’s the trip of a lifetime.
• Don’t worry if you don’t have a traveling companion. Our groups are in love with each other after 48 hours and most of our travelers are Singles. You’ll have plenty of people to hang out with.

“On a scale of 1 to 10, everything about the Peru trip was a 10! Everything was even more than I expected! It is the trip of a lifetime… My life feels richer, my thoughts feel wiser and my intentions are more clear to me. Debra, what a pure gift you and Jorge have given through this Peru trip!” ~ Debra Hicks

Best Find Your Soulmate Retreat 2021

If you think a virtual retreat “can’t be as good,” read this

Can you believe it’s been one year since all the COVID stuff started happening? When was the first time you remembered feeling like, “Wow, something is going on here?”

It started for me shortly after we returned from our Egypt trip last year. Two weeks after we returned, there was a COVID outbreak that happened on a Nile cruise ship from a passenger that had visited China before coming to Egypt (luckily we were nowhere near that ship). Everything in Egypt shut down. Then everything in the United States shut down.

We swung into action immediately. Within 2 weeks, we started doing our retreats online. I have to be honest and admit that when we first started, I wasn’t sure we could deliver the same incredible transformations that happen here in Sedona, because we had never done that before. But I’m so happy to tell you that from the very beginning, the At Home Soul Adventures have delivered the same punch and the same incredible transformations as doing the retreats in Sedona.

We’ve had a lot of people say to us “a virtual retreat can’t possibly be as good” and I have to tell you that’s just plain wrong! Read this:

Shae just finished her retreat on Thursday. She was apprehensive and didn’t know what to expect. But by the end of her Soul Adventure, she feels:

• Renewed
• Refreshed
• “An absolutely awesome version of me”
• She met her authentic true self
• She loves and adores herself

And here’s another of my favorites. Pam did her At Home Soul Adventure in November and it was incredible:

I got a beautiful Valentine’s Day card from Pam, thanking me for all that I do and then this week, I got the most wonderful email from her this week telling me about all that’s happened since her At Home Soul Adventure in October. I asked her if I could share her email and instead she sent me this incredible message which even though it’s long, I just have to share it all with you.

Oh my Goddess, isn’t it incredible? All from (finally) doing her At Home Soul Adventure. Pam, I am so proud of you and so happy for you!

I’m surprised at myself that I even questioned for a minute whether or not the At Home Retreats would be so amazing. We’re bringing the energy of Sedona to you through our incredible Practitioners who have been working online and virtually for years, and who are Masters of harnessing and bringing the energy of Sedona to you. So it doesn’t matter whether you’re in their healing room or your living room, they’re moving the energy and bringing the same kind of transformations to you.

We’ve expanded our At Home Retreats and they are now a permanent fixture of how we can help more and more people all over the world!

We asked one of the people to describe her At Home Soul Adventure in one word and she said “Transformation.” I spoke with her on the phone at the end of her retreat and she said to me, “Debra, this was absolutely life-changing. I can’t believe what’s happened in just a few short days. And I know I have the tools to have it just go deeper and deeper.”

When we asked another of our At Home Soul Adventurers, her one word response was “Enlightening.” She raved about each and every one of her sessions and she even told us that she loved the Virtual Retreat “even more than if I had come to Sedona in person.” She said it was so easy for her to maintain the sacred space at home and she loved that she could have the emotional support of her dog and the restfulness to be at home. Isn’t that great?

And another person told me that the money she saved in airfare, hotels, restaurants and car rentals made it possible for her to do their Couples Retreat sooner than they had originally planned – and it allowed them to add even more sessions.

That’s the whole point, isn’t it?

As Pam said above, if you’re thinking about this, “DO IT NOW.”

Almost everybody has stuff going on in their lives or their relationships, and the pandemic has forced us to really see that stuff as it’s coming up. I’ve had so many people say to me, “I’m really realizing life is too short. I’m not settling anymore. I want to have the most amazing life I can have and I don’t want anything to hold me back.”

And so many couples have told me, “All this togetherness has shown us where the cracks are. We love each other, but we’re driving each other crazy. We want to stay together and we need some help in figuring out how to not drive each other crazy.”

We don’t want you to wait for your transformation!

How are you doing through all this? Wouldn’t it be absolutely amazing if you ended up with your life or your relationship transformed? Because that’s exactly what can happen.

Call us today at (928) 204-5988 or Click here and we’ll call you. One of our Angel Guides will connect with you (or both of you for a Couples Retreat) and we’ll go deep, to discover the blocks and gunk that are holding you back. And you can do it all from the comfort of your own home.

And I get it, many people want to come to Sedona — it’s a beautiful, fabulous place. But isn’t it wonderful to have this powerful option?

Nobody gets to say to me, “A virtual retreat just can’t be as good.”

As I always say, if you knew what could happen, you’d be calling right now.

Would you like to speak to someone today about doing a Soul Adventure? We’re even open on Sunday, because we’re here for you!

Is Machu Picchu a power spot like Sedona is?

I’ve had lots of people asking me that question lately.

Have you ever been in a place and felt an unmistakable energy, or felt like you’ve been there before, or felt a tingling sensation?

If you’ve ever been to Sedona, you know that Sedona is one of these places – an energy spot, a power spot.

The Native Americans believe that Sedona is one of the most potent power spots on the planet and that it is energy that can be used for transformation. After 20 years of living here and working in this energy, I know that’s true.

And many places in Peru are exactly the same – a power spot, a place of intense energy that can be used for personal transformation.

Machu Picchu is certainly one of these places. Does even looking at that picture of Machu Picchu make you feel something? Like a yearning to go there? Can you imagine what it will be like to be there and do ceremony with our shaman and guide, Jorge Luis Delgado on the Solstice? Amazing!

Lake Titicaca is another incredible power spot. Legend has it that the Golden Solar Disc from the Temple of Illumination was brought to Lake Titicaca by Lord Amaru Muru for safe keeping. Is it still there?

The doorway of Aramu Muru is considered to be a gateway to other dimensions. I literally had a miraculous occurrence there a few years ago.

So many people go to places like Machu Picchu and the Great Pyramid, and they get the information from their tour guide or a guide book (which is probably not even accurate, since we have no written accounts or evidence of any type of what these places were or even who built them).

Most tours that go to Machu Picchu are only there for a half-day, they run around for a few hours and then they leave (which is so astoundingly sad to me).

With sacred travel, it’s different. We not only go to these places, we experience them:

• At each place, you’ll take time to connect in and feel the energy.
• You’ll do ceremonies to deepen the connection, with our shaman, Jorge Luis Delgado.
• You’ll do meditations to anchor in the energy and to receive the messages each place wants to give us.

• You’ll utilize the energy for transformation.
• You’ll be traveling with other like-minded seekers, connecting with each other and having discussions about what it feels like to live life in connection.

One of the things that I love about our trips is that usually within 2 days, everyone is in love with each other. It feels like family and I have made friendships on these trips that have lasted for years.

That’s exactly what just happened on our Egypt trip — even though I always say it, everyone was amazed when it happened. So don’t be concerned if you don’t have a traveling companion – you don’t need one, you’ll have lots!

So the best part of sacred travel — what makes it so much more compelling — is going to all these places, connecting with the energy and utilizing that energy to transform your life.

That’s why I hope you’ll join us on this sacred journey. Click below to get all the information, including pricing:

In the future I won’t be able to travel any other way — it’s so much more meaningful to bond with the group, sharing a spiritual purpose, with a wonderful guide. You have the best of all possible worlds, all your daily needs met, no worries about train schedules or hotel reservations, and the benefit of a guide that is supporting your spiritual path. I didn’t want to leave Machu Picchu…”

Our Egypt Trip: Every Wish Fulfilled

As you read this, I will just be arriving home from our fabulous Return to Egypt Tour. 

As I’m writing this, I’m sitting on the balcony of our beautiful hotel in Luxor, watching hot air balloons fly over the Nile. And as usual, the trip has been incredible and amazing, but it’s also been a trip of wishes fulfilled. 

Everyone is completely blown away by seeing the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx, and Abu Simbel, which are the standard things that everyone sees in Egypt. 

But there’s so much more to Egypt that most people don’t know about until they come over here. 

Going to the Tomb of Nefertari is always so extraordinary and people are completely blown away by its artistry. It’s called the “Sistine Chapel of Egypt” because the art work and the colors are so incredible.

Here’s a beautiful scene of Isis giving the ankh to Nefertari as she helps her cross over to the Netherworld.

The Temple Complex of Karnak was built over a period of over 2,000 years. That’s just almost unfathomable, isn’t it? To see Hatsepshut’s obelisk is always thrilling for me (she was a female Pharaoh). We had one of our most amazing spiritual experiences of the trip in Karnak.

And the Luxor Temple at night is so incredibly beautiful. The giant statues of Ramses II really convey the power that was ancient Egypt. 

And to explore the treasures of the Cairo Museum is so fabulous. The Museum contains the treasures of King Tut and they are phenomenal. King Tut’s was the one and only tomb of the ancient Pharaohs that was not plundered by tomb robbers – it was found almost completely intact. 

What most people don’t know is that Tut was a very lesser Pharaoh, as our guide puts it, from an historical perspective, “he was a nothing, a no one” who ruled for a short time and died unexpectedly at a very young age. So when you see the incredible treasures which are in his tomb (especially the solid gold), it’s staggering to think what must have been in the tombs of someone like Ramses II, who ruled Egypt at its height, ruled for more than 60 years and would have spent over 60 years designing, building and furnishing his tomb.

And I’m so excited about the prospects of next year’s trip. The new Museum (the Grand Egyptian Museum) should be open by then. It’s October 2020 Grand Opening was delayed by COVID, but it’s now expected to open in  October 2021 – just in time for our February 2022 trip. 

But in addition to seeing the incredible sites, the real magic of this trip is in the spiritual experiences. We don’t just go to these places, we experience them. 

Tomorrow we will have our two hours of private time just for our group inside the Great Pyramid. I have had so many mystical experiences in that place and I’m sure tomorrow will be the same. We’ve had so many discussions about the different ideas of who built the Great Pyramid, information about past lives in Egypt and people having some incredible energetic experiences at the different places we’ve gone to. And it’s always fun to talk about why are there carvings of a helicopter, a tank and a submarine in the temple of Abydos? Can you see them?

And it’s so wonderful to journey to these places with so many like-minded adventurers. It adds such an amazing texture to the trip. 

This was one of my favorite examples of wishes being fulfilled on the trip. When one of our people saw a McDonald’s across from the Luxor Temple towards the end of the trip, she said, “Are we going to McDonald’s?” and I answered, “No, we don’t have McDonald’s on the itinerary.” The next day we ate lunch at a beautiful oasis-type setting next to the Valley of the Kings which was just lovely, with beautiful trees and lots of baba ganoush, falafel and other Egyptian delights. 

But the next day, Jane was back to “Can we eat at McDonald’s?” It turns out that she has eaten at McDonald’s all over the world and she loves experiencing them. So the next day (our last day in Luxor), I told her, “Jane, we’ll get a driver and we’ll go to McDonald’s for lunch.”

Two other people joined us and we had so much fun. The Big Macs were great and the fries were fantastic. We even ended up speaking with two Egyptians who turned out to be hot air balloon pilots who had piloted balloons twice at the Santa Fe, New Mexico hot air balloon show. And Jane was so happy she got to go to McDonald’s!

As I said, I’m super excited about the prospect of next year’s trip because of the opening of the new Egyptian Grand Museum. We’ve driven past it and it’s just enormous! They are saying that all of the treasures of King Tut will be displayed there (there was never room for everything in the old Museum) as well as thousands and thousands of treasures that no one has ever seen because of the lack of space in the old Museum.  I can’t wait! It will be my 22^nd trip to Egypt and just like this time, I see new things every year. 

It’s going to be incredible and I’d love to have you join me on this trip of a lifetime.

It’s been so wonderful being here in Egypt with so many people telling me how their Soul Adventure completely transformed their lives. And while you don’t have to have done a Soul Adventure to go on our trips to Egypt or Peru, I feel like it’s such a blessing to do that. It just makes these incredible journeys go even deeper.

One of our people on this trip did a Soul Adventure and now is here in Egypt with us – and is also going to Peru with us in June. That will be so much fun!

While here, I received the most beautiful message from someone who just completed her Soul Adventure. I always greet people at the beginning of their Soul Adventure, but of course I haven’t been able to do that while I was in Egypt. She texted me:

“Hi Debra, I didn’t not get to meet you this week during my Soul 
Adventure, but I wanted to Thank You for the most AMAZING
3 days of my life. Thank you for creating such a beautiful place.
You have gifted the world. Love you, and I will be back.”

Isn’t that beautiful? I’m so grateful to my team in Sedona for making all of the Soul Adventures just continue to keep on and make the transformations happen, even while I’m gone. They are so wonderful and I love and appreciate them so much.

So if you would like to have an AMAZING Soul Adventure, please give us a call. One of the things I know from all my travels and all the work we do at Sedona Soul Adventures is that life is supposed to be lived from a joyous and connected place. For so many people, it’s hard to do that because we haven’t been taught how to do that. We have blocks and trauma and gunk that are holding us back from living our best life or having the relationship of our dreams. 

When you come for a Soul Adventure, we find the gunk, move it out, and bring you back into connection on all the levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Plus, we give you the tools to maintain and deepen all the transformations even after your retreat. We want change and transformation that is permanent and lasting.

Call and speak with one of our Angel Guides. They will connect with you and custom design a retreat that will bring you the peace and contentment you’re looking for in your life or your relationship.

Click here and one of our Angel Guides will call you. Or if you’d prefer, call us at (928) 204-5988.

Would you like to speak to someone today about doing a Soul Adventure?
We’re even open on Sunday, because we’re here for you!
Remember, you can do it in-Sedona or At Home.

Wishing you a week filled with happiness and joy!

Best Life Purpose Retreat 2021

Having a fabulous time in Egypt!

Greetings from Egypt! We’re having another amazing time in this incredible place!

On our very first day, we went to the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx.

It is so incredible to see these amazing structures. It hits me every single time, even though this is my 21st trip to Egypt!

I love the mysteries such as who built the Pyramids? How did they get these huge stones to this place (some of which weigh over 2 tons) when they know they came from Aswan, which is an 8 hour train ride away? And how did they cut the stones with such laser-like precision that they fit together perfectly with no mortar or concrete?

Riding camels to the Pyramids is always so much fun – they’re so sweet. And of course it’s so wonderful to be here with my beloved Richard. This is his third trip to Egypt and he’s become as fascinated as I am with all things Egyptian! What a wonderful thing to have in common.

And then onto the Cairo Museum, where we saw the treasures of King Tut, along with so many amazing things. To see all this gold, all the incredible jewelry – it still takes my breath away even after all these years. And next year they are promising that the new Museum will be open. It was supposed to be open this past October but because of COVID, the Grand Opening was delayed to next year. That is going to be so spectacular, I can’t wait!

There are so many treasures they’ve never been able to display because the old Museum was built in 1905 and can’t accommodate everything. We’ve seen the new Museum from the outside and it’s enormous! We’ll get to see so many things for the first time.

And speaking of COVID, it’s been amazing how little it’s affected us on this trip. First of all, I loved it so much that our trip was sold out. All of us had to test negative before we could get on the plane (luckily all of us did!). Most of the places we go to are completely out in the open air, so we don’t have to have our masks on then. We’re using ear buds with our guide so we can all socially distance (although we’ve all just tested negative, so that helps). Just like in the states, we can take our masks off when we eat, so it really hasn’t put a damper on things.

We’re all having an incredible time!

Tonight we watched the amazing Sound and Light show at the Pyramids and Sphinx. It’s so dramatic, it’s reminiscent of The Ten Commandments. I love this photo that Richard shot – the Sphinx just looks otherworldly.

One of the best parts for me, is being with this amazing group of people. We are all different ages, sexes, and nationalities, but with a commonality of being fascinated by this amazing place. It’s so much fun to experience this with other adventurers.

And as usual, the Egyptian people are so warm and welcoming. They always ask “where are you from?” and when I say “America,” they always reply with a similar response: “We love Americans!”

I’m so excited to come back again and especially to see the treasures of the new Museum!

While I’m here, my wonderful Angel Guides and Retreat Coordinators are holding down the fort in Sedona, so if you’d like to speak to someone about doing a retreat, give us a call. So many of the people on this trip are “grads” of Sedona Soul Adventures (although you don’t have to have done a Soul Adventure in order to go on the Egypt or Peru trips), it’s so great to connect with them again. Call us at (928) 204-5988 or Click here and we’ll call you.

Sending you so much love from mysterious Egypt!
