What do you think you’re getting from your beloved for Valentine’s Day? What are you giving your beloved?
I made this video a while back and it’s turned out to be one of the most popular of my videos on YouTube.
Watch this to see what I think is the most important thing you can give them.
Josh and Jen say their Couples Retreat was “the most amazing experience we have had in our lives…We feel like we are on fire!”
“This was probably the most amazing experience we have had in our lives and definitely as a couple. We 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 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 to receive the love and joy that they have given us.” ~ Josh & Jen B.

Join our Master the Highly Sensitive Trait and Live Your Best Life 4-Week Online Masterclass, March 2 – 23, 2023
Are you a Highly Sensitive Person?
People who are HSP have a heightened sense of their emotions, are super compassionate, usually very intuitive and can feel overwhelmed a lot of the time. As the name implies, they are ultra sensitive and that can be really great in some ways and really challenging in other ways.
Over the past 10 years, we have discovered that so many of our clients are HSP and we’ve done so much to help them navigate this trait. And that’s one of the important things to remember — this is a trait and doctors and scientists agree that being HSP is not a mental illness or disorder.
The good news is, there’s nothing wrong with you!
You just need the tools to deal with the challenging parts and enhance the wonderful parts!
That’s why I’m thrilled to announce our newest Masterclass:
Master the Highly Sensitive Trait and Live Your Best Life
4 Week Online Seminar March 2 – 23, 2023 9-10:30am PT / 10-11:30am MT / 11am-12:30pm CT / 12-1:30pm ET
This class has been over one year in the making and I know it’s going to help so many people!
Would you like to:
Know how to recognize and unlock your gifts as a Highly Sensitive Person?
Learn tools that will you allow to thrive with the trait?
Understand the gifts of empathy and how to overcome empathic distress?
Learn how to help your Highly Sensitive Child navigate through life?
Know more how to utilize your Sensitivity and Intuition to enhance your personal and professional life?
There is a simple test you can take to determine if you are HSP. Go here to take it.
The class is being taught by our Master Practitioner, Komala Rohde.
Komala is HSP herself, so this has become a real passion for her. She has been working in this area for over 15 years and first came to me about working with HSP over five years ago. Like most people, I had never heard of it and I was fascinated.
Komala did a fantastic training for our Practitioners to help them spot the HSP trait in our clients and she has been instrumental in helping us help more people who have this trait to live their best lives.
Now she’ll be helping you do the same.
The class starts Thursday, March 2nd at 9-10:30am Pacific and goes for 4 weeks. Each class will be LIVE on Zoom.
The program includes extensive instruction, practical tools, mindfulness techniques and exercises that will enhance your understanding and application of HSP in your personal and professional expression.
If you can’t make each class in person, no worries, we’ll send a recording after each class, but of course, it will be most beneficial if you can personally attend as many sessions as possible.
Are you a Highly Sensitive Person? This is something that has been receiving a lot of attention in the past few years because it turns out over 20% of the population (of all cultures) are Highly Sensitive.
People who are HSP have a heightened sense of their emotions, are super compassionate, usually very intuitive and can feel overwhelmed a lot of the time. As the name implies, they are ultra sensitive and that can be really great in some ways and really challenging in other ways.
Watch the video:
Did you know Alanis Morissette is a Highly Sensitive Person?
There is a fantastic movie about being HSP, called “Sensitive.” The movie is really fascinating and it features Alanis Morissette.
Alanis had tremendous success writing songs that were the result of her being a Highly Sensitive Person, she is more creative and has more empathy. But in the movie, she talks about how this has also caused a huge challenge for her because fame brought about so much attention, stress and overwhelm for her.
When she finally realized that she is a Highly Sensitive Person, it changed everything.
Over the past 10 years, we have discovered that so many of our clients are HSP and we’ve done so much to help them navigate this trait. And that’s one of the important things to remember — this is a trait and doctors and scientists agree that being HSP is not a mental illness or disorder.
The good news is, there’s nothing wrong with you!

Many of our people who come to us have felt that there is something “wrong” with them and sometimes they’re afraid they’re “off.”
Being told to “Stop being so sensitive” hurts – and it hurts deeply.
How wonderful to know that you can not only live with this, you can be tremendously happy and productive! Alanis Morissette is a perfect example of that!
The class is being taught by our Master Practitioner, Komala Rohde.

The program includes extensive instruction, practical tools, mindfulness techniques and exercises that will enhance your understanding and application of HSP in your personal and professional expression.
You’ll walk away from the seminar with a solid understanding of what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person. But even more importantly, you will have solid tools for navigating your HSP trait and living your best life. You’ll even have tools to help your Highly Sensitive Child. Find out more about that here.
Between classes you will have homework to practice both individually and through exchanging practical applications with other participants in the group. Think how great it will feel to interact with other HSPs who really “get” you!
If you can’t make each class in person, no worries, we’ll send a recording after each class, but of course, it will be most beneficial if you can personally attend as many sessions as possible.
This Class is for you if you’d like to:
Understand the 4 innate traits of a Highly Sensitive Person
Find your roadmap on how to manage overstimulation
Enhance your trait of Empathy
Connect more deeply with your Intuition and Sensitivity
Understand and help your Highly Sensitive Child
And learn how to not only live with HSP, but to Thrive!
Katrina says, “This was the best experience of my life! I have the tools in my toolbelt to handle anything that comes my way.”
Isn’t that how we all want to feel? We want to feel as though we can handle anything that comes our way. Because that’s what a Sedona Soul Adventure does for you — it releases all the blocks and wounds that are holding you back from living your best life or having the relationship of your dreams.
We then bring you back into connection on all the levels — physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
When you’re living your life in connection, you KNOW you can handle everything that comes and do it in a blissful, fabulous way.
Call now and speak with one of our Soul Guides — they’ll connect with you on a deep level and custom design a retreat that will bring you into the life or relationship of your dreams.
Did you know Sedona Soul Adventures was named “Best of Sedona” for Retreats for 2020, 2021 & 2022 and “Best Marriage Retreats in the US” 2015-2023? And Bride’s Magazine named us one of the “11 Best Couples Retreats Around the World” in 2022.
It’s because what we do gets results – call us now, let us help. As I always say, if you knew what could happen, you’d be calling right now.
What area of your life do you need help with most right now…
Your relationship? Finding your life purpose? Loss of a loved one? Healing & pampering? Or is it something else?
Because we’re here for you – and we’re even open on Sunday!
Remember, there’s no cost or obligation to speak with a Soul Guide and have them custom-design the perfect retreat just for you in Sedona or At Home.
One of the worst feelings in the world is feeling like you’re stuck — especially if you’re feeling that way about more than one area of your life.
And have you noticed how it seems to happen like that? We don’t get stuck in just one place – once it happens, it seems to affect almost everything.
This video gives you some ideas of things you can start doing that can help. Watch now:
If you’re feeling stuck, it’s time to do something about it.
As I talk about in the video, what changed everything for me was coming to Sedona for the first time. Call us. We will connect with you and start the process of figuring out what’s keeping you stuck and holding you back. Then we’ll custom design that will take you from where you are to where you want to be, both in your life and your relationship.
Audra says, “Before my Soul Adventure I was stuck in patterns of thinking that were not helping me. I have never felt more seen, loved, accepted, supported and mentored in my life.”

Become a Breathwork Practitioner – Two Spots Left 6-day Breathwork Retreat in Sedona (February 12-17) Plus one-on-one training and coaching
I’ve been doing Breathwork since 1989! It has been the single most impactful process I have ever used in my life. It’s one of the reasons it’s such an important part of the Sedona Proven Process we use here at Sedona Soul Adventures.
We started training people to be breathworkers last year and the results have been fantastic! The part that is so wonderful is that for many people, like William, this has become their life purpose:
But the other part that is so fantastic, is that it transforms you, like it did for Rachel.
One of the biggest thing that makes our training so very different from everything that is out there is the personal attention and coaching you will receive. The training is limited to only 14 people.
First there is the amazing retreat here in Sedona, February 12-17. You’ll have 4 months of training that includes personal, one-on-one training and coaching with Gwen.
Do you ever look at your husband, wife or partner and have a thought along the lines of, “What was I thinking?” or “If he/she says another word, I’m going to run screaming out of the house!”?
Wouldn't it be fantastic if you could fall back in love with that person?
Well, help is on the way - watch my video:
Sometimes your relationship really needs a shot in the arm (or better yet, the heart). Call us and one of our Soul Guides will speak with each of you separately, really getting at what's going on, what are the issues and what do both of you want? Then they'll put together the perfect retreat that's right for the two of you.
Because each retreat is completely customized and because the sessions are all completely private (not in groups), you'll get exactly what you need. It will bring you back into the Love and Connection you're craving.
Would you like to speak to someone today? We’re even open on Sundays, because we’re here for you.
Lori and Michio say, “Before our Soul Adventure, we WERE going to Divorce, after Sedona Soul Adventures, we are closer than we have ever been, we are forever changed” (and that’s 90 days after their retreat!)
I love it so much that Lori waited 3 MONTHS(!) to write that, because she wanted to see if the experience would last.
I’m so happy to say, that’s exactly what happens with a Sedona Soul Adventure! It works and it lasts! They did this retreat in 2019 and they are still happily married, we just connected with them about a month ago.

The response to our Transformational Soul Coaching Training has been absolutely phenomenal! It starts next Saturday, January 21 and I don’t want you to miss out on this opportunity to possibly find your life’s calling.
If you think you might enjoy being a coach (or if you’re a coach that would like to expand into new and better ways to help your clients create lives of passion, purpose and meaning), then this training and certification is for you.
Transformational Soul Coaching is a specialized form of life coaching that acknowledges and honors one’s authentic, timeless, wisest self. Soul Coaches help clients connect with their highest wisdom and authentic selves… tuning into their innate guidance for what they’re meant to do with their precious life.
The results can be eye-opening and incredibly gratifying. Discover more about how you can serve others and make the world a better place as a Transformational Soul Coach.
This is going to be an amazing, incredible 25 weeks of LIVE TRAINING (I don’t know about you, but I’m really sick of paying for a training and then discovering it’s all taped). Our fabulous and incredible (I know I use those words too much) Rick Reynolds will be doing the training and certification and it’s just going to be so fantastic. Rick is a fabulous coach and teacher (he’s coached over 1300 of our SSA grads) and his wealth of information and ability to transmit it is just superb.
The Transformational Soul Coaching Training Program is for:
People who are brand-new to coaching and need to learn the fundamentals
Emerging coaches who want to grow their part-time businesses into a full-time vocation
Established coaches who seek new and better ways to help clients create lives of passion, purpose and meaning
I’ve been a coach for over 20 years and it has been such an incredibly rewarding part of my life.
Twenty four years ago I went through training as a traditional life coach and found it very deficient for what I was trying to do with people, so I just kept adding my own stuff! Later, when I was starting Sedona Soul Adventures, incorporating the two things just made so much sense. Working with my Intuition, helping my clients open up to their Intuition and focusing on their energy and how they were feeling, rather than focusing only on goals and To Do Lists, etc.
I started calling what I was doing Transformational Life Coaching (long before anyone else was using that term) and I found that when I helped my clients stay in a really high vibration, that incredible things happened – they discovered their life purpose and started living it, they doubled their income, they lost 100 pounds (and kept it off), their relationships with their spouses (and everyone else) got better.
Someone would start off with a particular problem, but inevitably every single part of their life would get better, because that’s how it works. When we address the issues that are causing us problems, every part of our life gets better.
Many years ago we started including ongoing coaching as part of our Sedona Soul Adventures retreats because we knew that once people go home, they need help to really anchor in the incredible transformations they have during their retreats. The Transformational Soul Coaching really helped them with that.
Since the pandemic, we’ve seen a seismic shift in how people are approaching their lives and their work and their relationships. Many people are saying to themselves, “Life is short. I want to find my life purpose and start living it. I want my work to have meaning. I want my love life to be happy and fulfilling.”
One of the things I’ve loved so much about coaching is in addition to the deep satisfaction of helping people live their best lives, you also have so much freedom in how you work. You can work when you want, with whom you want and wherever you want. What a wonderful bunch of freedom while helping others.
Although you’ll receive all the basics of traditional coaching training, this is very different. To utilize intuition, energy and higher vibrations is not only tremendously helpful for your clients but incredibly beneficial for you as a Practitioner — it helps you continue to transform as you help so many others. We spoke about this in the fabulous live webinar Rick and I did this past week to answer people’s questions about the coaching program – listen to the recording here.
This could be the beginning of an exciting and transformational new chapter in your life and in the lives of all that you’ll serve. I hope you’ll join us.
M. says her Soul Adventure was “a life changing experience”
If you want to find your purpose, live your purpose, release fear, find forgiveness and finally find the self love that makes all the difference, please give us a call. As I spoke about before, life is too short to be living in fear and uncertainty and lack of trust. Life is too short to be living anything other than joy and happiness and bliss, knowing your living your life purpose.

Our Breathwork Certification Program is filling up fast!
We only have 14 spots because it is so customized with individual training. It starts first with an amazing Breathwork Retreat here in Sedona, February 12-17, that will be so deeply immersive and incredible. Then you’ll have 4 months of continued training with Gwen Payne (our fabulous Master Breathwork Trainer), which includes group coaching and personal one-on-one coaching. This is unlike any other Breathwork training out there. Sign up here.
As I’ve said to you before, I’ve been doing Breathwork since 1989. In my opinion, Breathwork is one of the most powerful modalities out there for clearing blocks and bringing yourself back into connection on all the levels — physical, mental, emotional, spiritual.
Working as a breathworker is so phenomenal. Facilitating the incredible transformations which people have is almost unbelievable. Many of you know that Breathwork is the cornerstone of our spiritual retreats. It’s a super important part of the journey during the Soul Adventure… because the transformation is profound.
The breathwork process is part art, part science and all magic!
And the key to unlocking all of that magic is not just learning the technique of the Breathwork modality, but even more importantly, the ability of the facilitator to create and hold a big, clear, high vibrational space. It is in that space that profound, multi-dimensional miracles of healing and transformation can happen.
So many people have asked us about wanting to continue to do Breathwork in their hometown, but they can’t find practitioners.
Many other people have asked us about becoming certified Breathwork practitioners and have been disappointed in other trainings they’ve found that are out there.
So here’s where you come in…
Because we believe so strongly in the power of this process, we launched our first SSA Inner Journey Breathwork Certification Program this past February. The results were outstanding. All of the participants loved it and many of them have now become professional breathworkers or added Breathwork to the modalities they teach. We just did another training in September and it was incredible.
One person even decided to move to Sedona and he’s now working with Sedona Soul Adventures as a Breathwork Facilitator and our people are loving him!
The response has been so overwhelming that we are announcing our next training which begins with an in-person retreat in Sedona, February 12-17, 2023.
Our training is so unique because it not only combines everything you need to become a Master Practitioner, it also includes personal one-on-one coaching from our amazing facilitator, Gwen Payne.
This training will provide certification for those who wish to become professional practitioners, but it is also for anyone wishing to deepen their practice and further their own transformation and growth.
Our mission at Sedona Soul Adventures is to create a powerful ripple effect of healing and change throughout the world through working with our clients.
We strongly believe that this training can be an important part of that vision and mission.
Imagine a whole network of highly trained Inner Journey Breathwork practitioners spreading healing and growth throughout the planet!
It can happen and just imagine—you can be a part of it!
Jo says in her “Incredible!” Soul Adventure, “the breathwork led me to a new mission/journey which I’d been anxiously waiting for.”
If you are wanting to bring your life back into connection, give us a call. We’ll custom design a retreat that will bring you back into connection on all the levels – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. When you’re living in connection, your life and relationship become amazing!
Give us a call.

JAN 11 – Please buy the Kindle version of the new book I co-authored (99¢) —“Wickedly Smart Women – Trusting Intuition, Taking Action, Transforming Worlds” — and help us reach #1!
The past few months have been so exciting! I’ve been writing my chapter for my upcoming collaboration book, “Wickedly Smart Women – Trusting Intuition, Taking Action, Transforming Worlds.”
If you’re not familiar with collaboration books, it’s where amazing authors from all over the world come together to tell their own story.
In this book, I share my story of how following my intuition has been such a huge part of my life, from leaving my law practice, starting Sedona Soul Adventures and finding the man of my dreams.
Our book will hit Amazon this Wednesday, January 11! Within the first day, we are expecting to hit #1 on Amazon! I’m so excited.
It would mean the WORLD to me if you would grab your very own 99-cent Kindle version of this book when it hits the market on Wednesday (January 11). We’ll send you another email the day before to remind you.
In the meantime, you can access over $3,000 worth of free gifts from the authors (including a free copy of my book, “The Journey To Happy”) by going here.
On Friday, I was featured (along with 2 other authors) on Anjel B. Hartwell’s podcast. It was really fun and gives you a real feel for the book. You can find it here.
Oh, and guess what? 100% of the net sales from this book is being donated to Life Is Good Playmakers Foundation, a nonprofit whose mission is to build a Playmaker Movement.
1 in 3 kids experience some form of life-threatening adversity like homelessness, abuse, or community violence. Research shows that a positive relationship with just one caring adult in early childhood can change that child’s life entirely.
The Playmaker Project puts optimism into practice, providing training and support for a growing network of more than 16,000 professionals who create positive relationships and joy-filled environments that children need to heal, learn and thrive. We call them Playmakers.
By buying this book, you are helping these kids learn how to play again. Thank you for being part of the Playmaker Movement.
Thanks for your help and I’ll see you on Wednesday!

I found an old newsletter from 2017 where I talked about two big intentions I had set for the Inca New Year in 2016 when I was in Machu Picchu for the Solstice. They seemed huge at the time.
I wanted my book to come out and hit Amazon #1 and I wanted to have a committed, conscious relationship with a spiritually focused man. Two big things!
It had taken 6 years for my book to come out and I had been single for 7 years and there was no one on the horizon. But sure enough, that’s exactly what happened.
My book, “The Journey To Happy – How Embracing The Concept That Nothing Is Wrong Can Transform Your Life,” came out that year and not only did it hit Amazon #1, it made it in 5 categories and made International #1 in 4 countries.
And almost immediately after the book came out (2 weeks later to be exact), I met Richard. I have to admit that when I made the wish that year, I certainly thought that the wish for the book would be the most likely that would occur, because I had more control over that. But there we are in Machu Picchu in the photo above, one year after I made that wish – and now we just celebrated our 5th anniversary with a trip to Paris.
One year ago, I set two intentions that I was setting for the second year in a row:
To have the Second Edition of my book come out
To complete the audio version of the book
I wanted to do a second edition because I wanted to greatly add to the chapter on relationships — my life changed so much when I connected with Richard that I wanted my very personal book to reflect that. And over the years I’ve had so many people request the audio version of the book.
I spent all of 2021 trying to get both of those things done and it just didn’t happen. I spent a lot of time and energy trying to get them done, but looking back I see that I wasn’t practicing what I preach in the book. I was pushing. I was trying to “make it happen.” I wasn’t going with the flow… and I was even berating myself that I wasn’t getting it done.
I did something different for 2022 and that made all the difference.
I started out the year doing the 5-minute process I’m going to give you below. But I also did a session with one of my Practitioners, focused on clearing any energy that was blocking me. And sure enough, it worked.
The Second Edition of my book came out in June. And a few weeks ago, I completed the audio version of my book and it should be available within a month or so (I’ll keep you posted).
Both processes just flowed in a huge way, especially doing the audio book. I set the intention that the perfect situation would come in and that’s exactly what happened.
As you start 2023, my prayer for you (and for myself and everyone I love) is that you can find the joy and ease of living a connected life.
I did another session with one of my Practitioners yesterday and what came in was that I have to start living every day with the knowing of “Life Is Easy,” “Life Is Fun.” Wow!
I have to be honest with you that “Life Is Easy,” “Life Is Fun” is not what I think and feel 24 hours each day, especially when I’m feeling frustrated. But I believe with all my heart that’s how life is supposed to be. And I KNOW that the more we come into connection with the highest parts of ourselves, that’s how life can be.
Don’t you find that when you feel happy and connected, life just flows in a wonderful way? And when you are frustrated and upset, things just get worse and worse?
This is exactly what I talk about in my book and I give you 9 processes for helping you come into and stay in the higher energies of love and connection to live that kind of blissed out life.
Plus you can get the Kindle version of the book for 99¢ — I priced it so that everyone can have access to it. I don’t make any money off the book because I want to spread this message to the world. You can get the book here on Amazon.
So let’s talk about 2023 and here’s the process I want you to do. Before you start, spend a few minutes thinking about and writing down all the things you accomplished in 2022 (and I think just getting through 2022 was a huge accomplishment) and all the things you’re grateful for.
The process starts with gratitude for those things, because gratitude is the fastest gateway for bringing yourself into the higher energies of love and connection.
Do this process: Sit quietly, with your eyes closed and breathe deeply. Think about all you have to be grateful for (even the smallest things). As you think of each thing, really fill your heart with the energy of gratitude and appreciation.
Then take a few minutes to write those things down. With that energy of gratitude behind it, sit quietly for a few more minutes and think of what you would love to have happen in 2023. See yourself in your mind’s eye as if it has already happened.
What would you look like? How would you feel in your body?
Start to feel waves of appreciation as if this has already happened.
Open your eyes and write down the things that you have asked for. Put your list some place where you will see it each day and you can energize it.
Think big — It’s amazing what can happen when you use the energy of gratitude and abundance.
When you look at your list does it seem possible and doable? Or do you feel stuck and that these things are impossible? If you think they’re impossible, they will be and that means you need to do something about it. If you feel stuck, you need to do something to get unstuck.
If you want things to be different one year from now, contact us. Connect with one of our Soul Guides. They’ll dig deep and get at the root of what’s going on and starting the process of removing any blocks. Then they’ll custom design a retreat that can transform your life or your relationship.

Inner Journey Breathwork Retreat and Certification Program A 6-Day Breathwork Retreat in Sedona AZ (February 12-17, 2023) followed by 9 Online Workshops over 4 Months
Breathwork is such a powerful, transformational process. I’ve been doing Breathwork since 1989, and because I know it’s power, it is a cornerstone of all the retreats we do here at Sedona Soul Adventures.
So many people asked us about doing Breathwork training, that we started our training program last year and it has been a resounding success. The training is so different and special because we give you so much one-on-one personalized attention — that’s why it’s limited to only 14 people.
Just a few spots left for our Egypt trip! March 9-22, 2023 Plus a 5-day add-on to Jordan & Petra (March 4-10)
Here’s your chance to go on this trip of a lifetime, but you must act fast!
I’m even more excited than usual (and remember, this will be my 23rd trip to Egypt!) because I’m finally taking a group to Jordan and Petra!
I went there the first time in 1983 and I’ve always wanted to go back. This is an optional add-on to the trip.
In Egypt, we go to all the must see places:
The Great Pyramid (including 2 hours of private time just for our group for ceremony)
The Sphinx (where we have special admission to do ceremony between the paws of the Sphinx — this is closed to the general public)
Temple Complex of Karnak
Luxor Temple (which we see lit up at night — it’s other worldly!)
Abu Simbel (the largest statues in the world)
The Egyptian Museum (to see the complete King Tut exhibit and all the other treasures)
And we go to places that the average tourist doesn’t go to, with special admissions provided for our group.
Tomb of King Tut
Tomb of Ramses VI
Tomb of Seti I
Isis Temple at Philae
Hathor Temple at Dendera
Horus Temple at Edfu
Kom Ombo (dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and Horus)
The Temple of Abydos
The Osirion (to see the Flower of Life)
Tomb of Queen Nefertari (which is so incredibly beautiful it’s called “The Sistine Chapel of Ancient Egypt”)
And now for the first time, we’ve decided to do a 5-day add-on to Jordan and Petra in between the two trips, so that people from each trip can experience these amazing places!
We’ll be going to Petra to see one of the most spectacular places on Earth, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea and Jerash.
Petra was one of the most important cities on the ancient trading routes of the Middle East back in the 1200’s. And then it faded into obscurity and for many years people in the West thought it didn’t even exist, that it was a kind of Shangri La that was mystical and not real.
But in the 1800s, a Westerner disguised himself as a Bedouin and was taken there. It was re-discovered and became known as “The Lost City.” Now it’s become a Unesco World Site, because it is so extraordinary.
Do you remember the ending of the movie “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”? This is the one where Sean Connery plays Indiana’s father. Towards the end of the movie they are taken to this mystical place where the Holy Grail has been kept for millennia (that part isn’t true).
At the very end, we see them riding off into the sunset away from this incredible place. Here’s a picture that shows the incredible stone structure, and why this place is called “the Rose City.”
In addition to Petra, we’ll visit Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, and Jerash.
Jerash is considered one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world outside Italy. It’s just an astoundingly amazing place. We’ll be at a resort at the Dead Sea, and I’m having a massage and a mud bath!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Oh my Goddess, it’s almost 2023!
And speaking of the New Year, here’s the vital question: How can you be happier at the end of 2023?
I stopped doing New Year’s resolutions 24 years ago. The day I decided to do that (or not do that), I felt such a huge relief. And believe it or not, that was one of the most amazing and productive years of my life.
Instead, I do something else (more on that below).
But first, as promised, here are the 3 reasons why I’m advocating you should NOT do New Year’s Resolutions:
1. They don’t work – people don’t keep them Studies show that only 8% of Americans have stuck to their New Year’s Resolutions by 6 months out. I think it’s actually worse than that. My favorite “New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Work” story is from one of my friends who owned a restaurant in Omaha, where I used to live. They had great food and a fabulous salad bar, and over the years, they discovered that on January 2, people ate twice as much salad, because they were acting on their resolution to eat healthier and lose weight. However, by January 3 it was already back to normal, with people ordering the same amount of cheeseburgers, fries, etc. as they had before. Their resolve was only good for one day!
2. They’re so negative – they make you feel bad about yourself Even though the resolution can be couched in positive terms, such as “I resolve to eat healthier” or “I resolve to be more organized,” what people are actually doing in these situations is going over the behavior they are telling themselves they shouldn’t be doing. “I should stop eating like a pig,” “I should stop being a couch potato.” Even thinking those things about yourself is negative and counterproductive, and doesn’t lead to change.
3. They’re too general and not specific enough – they’re not juicy Most people are making vague and general resolutions like “I’m going to lose weight,” “I’m going to get more healthy,” “I’m going to be less stressed.” All of these are too general, not specific and not measurable. Getting more specific — “I’m going to lose 25 pounds” or “I’m going to practice yoga twice a week” — tells the brain exactly what you want to have happen and it’s measurable.
But let’s face it. The worst part of most resolutions is they just sound so boring. “I’m going to lose weight” or “I’m not going to spend so much money”… They’re boring, not fun, not juicy. That’s why they don’t work. There’s not enough juice to get you going, to get you excited, to get you to take action.
So here’s what I recommend: Set the intention to do something – ONE THING – that’s going to trip your trigger, rev you up and get you excited.
Really spend some time thinking about what is one thing you could do this year that would really make a difference in your life?
That would really make you happy?
That if you did it, you would look back at the end of the year and think, “Wow! Now that was a productive, amazing year.”
It doesn’t have to be a huge thing like achieving world peace, but it needs to be something that interests you, that excites you, that would make you think and feel differently about yourself.
The amazing thing is, that if you do something like this, it will make the usual resolutions start to fall into place. For example, let’s take something big — if you decide you want to run a marathon this year, you will accomplish the following resolutions (which happen to be the top resolutions people make). You will…
Get healthier
Stop smoking
Drink less
Probably lose weight
Not feel like a couch potato
Feel less stress
Probably play fewer video games and watch less TV
Probably spend less money on things you don’t need
Probably make new friends
And you would do it (at least most of it) feeling happy, excited and jazzed, which, of course, is the real reason behind resolutions in the first place — to feel happier at the end of 2023 than you did at the beginning.
2022 was a difficult year for so many people. So, it probably won’t take much to have you feel happier at the end of it, so why not really jump in?
What trips your trigger? What gets you revved up? What gets your juices flowing?
Maybe a better question is: What’s holding you back? What’s preventing you from having the most amazing, incredible, fantastic year of your life?
For most people, the answers are: time, money, my job, my family, my husband, my wife, my kids…
But WHAT IF you didn’t allow for those things to hold you back this year?
The year I stopped making resolutions was the year I started coming to Sedona and doing sessions with the amazing practitioners here. I started the year unhappy, depressed, overweight, hating my work, stressed out, burned out and feeling completely stuck. I ended the year so happy I almost couldn’t see straight!
I started that year thinking and feeling that my life was a total mess. I ended the year feeling so blessed and taken care of. It’s amazing what can happen in the space of a few months.
Did this year make you happier? If it didn’t, are you going to do something about it for next year? This is the decision that is at the heart of all New Year’s resolutions — What can you do to feel happier at the end of this year?
If you want to feel happier at the end of 2023, do what I did and do a Sedona Soul Adventure. The changes and transformations that can happen are almost unbelievable. And you can do it in-Sedona or At Home, both will deliver incredible transformations for your life or your relationship.
And the amazing thing is, you won’t have to wait all year to feel better. It can happen in 3 or 4 days! And you’ll feel better, the whole rest of the year!
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, what’s causing the problems, what’s keeping you from having the life or relationship of your dreams? Then they’ll custom design a retreat that will make this the most amazing year of your life. And remember, there’s no cost or obligation and you can do the retreat either here in-Sedona or At Home.
Janet says, “My Soul Adventure was better than I could have ever imagined it to be…it gave me new life again.”
“Sedona Soul Adventures was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I had seen the emails for years and longed to go but never made the commitment. When stress was overtaking my life and getting so out of control, it was the only place I felt I could turn to. It was an act of survival to get myself balanced again. Being a mother of two young children and working full-time, I needed to take some rest and reenergize. It was better than I could have ever imagined it to be. The techniques I learned and the “AHA” moments gave me new life again. Trust me, everyone benefits with a better you. Thank you Sedona Soul Adventures.”

Is travel on your list of Intentions for 2023? Is Egypt on your bucket list?
We have a few spots left on the Egypt and Jordan trips: Egypt – February 20 – March 5 Jordan – March 4 – 9 Egypt – March 9 – 22
Here are the reasons you should go:
1. We’re staying at the fabulous 5 star Mena House, which is right next to the Pyramids. The Mena House is an historic, incredible hotel that is right next to the Pyramids and we were able to get it for this trip. It was originally built in the 1860’s as a hunting lodge for the British aristocracy, it’s such a phenomenal place. Here’s a photo of some of our people having breakfast there, look at the Pyramids!
2. We are on an incredible cruise ship. Cruising on the Nile for 5 nights, stopping at the Temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo along the way. Talk about luxury!
3. The exchange rate is incredible, so shopping will be extraordinary. The exchange rate is an incredible 25 to 1 right now (24.72 specifically, meaning 25 Egyptian pounds to 1 US Dollar). In the past, the rate was usually 3 to 1, so this will make the shopping absolutely incredible, especially for things like hand made rugs and jewelry.
4. This trip is perfect. I’ve been doing this trip every year since 2004. Every year we make tweaks to it and I must say, that at this point, it’s truly perfect. We see all the must see places, plus places the average tourist doesn’t see. Guardian Travel is always adding surprises, so it’s going to be amazing.
5. Seeing the Pyramids, Karnak, Abu Simbel and cruising the Nile in 5 star luxury. Seeing all these amazing places is so incredible. Staying in 5 star hotels and cruising the Nile in a 5 star cruise ship, stopping at temples along the way, is simply amazing.
6. This is a spiritual experience unlike any other. If you feel a pull toward Egypt, that means Egypt is calling you and has something in store for you. The energy in Egypt is amazing and experiencing these places is phenomenal. We have 2 hours of private time just for our group inside the Great Pyramid! I just had an email from someone who was on the trip a few years ago and she said the ceremony inside the Great Pyramid completely changed her life. And from everything that’s happened to her (all of it amazing and incredible), it obviously has! That’s what the Egypt trip does for you.
7. Absolutely everything is taken care of for you. I’ve been working with Guardian Travel since 1995 and they are such a joy. They greet us warmly at the airport and after that we don’t touch another bag for 2 weeks. They take care of everything at the hotels, for all our transportation, slipping baksheesh (tips) to the guards so we can do a meditation in a temple, all the hundreds of details that make the trip so memorable.
8. Being with other like minded seekers adds such a wonderful level to the trip.
9. Don’t worry if you don’t have someone to travel with. Our groups fall in love with each other within 48 hours and make friendships that last a lifetime.
People ask me, “Is Egypt safe?” I have been going to Egypt since 1983. The Egyptian people are some of the nicest, friendliest, warmest people I have ever met and they love Americans.
I have been taking groups to Egypt each year for 19 years (since 2004).
I was just there in February and it was absolutely wonderful and we all felt completely safe at all times.
But don’t take my word for it. Here is what some of the people from past trips had to say:
“The Return to Egypt trip was most definitely my Journey of a Lifetime!!! I have never felt more safe, secure, or well taken care of in any of my travels as I did with SSA and Guardian Travel.” ~ Linda K
“Debra, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for this life altering and most memorable journey to Egypt. I need to express a very important message. EGYPT IS VERY SAFE!! Not once did I ever feel I was in any danger. Our guides at Guardian Travel were wonderful.” ~ Diane S
“My visit to Egypt with Sedona Soul Adventures was absolutely amazing! I felt completely safe and taken care ofby SSA and Guardian Travel. The Egyptian people were so friendly, warm and welcoming.” ~ Diane R
Egypt Pricing
If you’d like to go on one or both of these trips,you must act now!
Please note: The Jordan add-on is an add-on to either the First Egypt trip or the Second Egypt Trip, it is not a separate trip.
One of my favorite things that we are able to do here at Sedona Soul Adventures is to put together incredible custom-designed retreats really quickly when someone needs it.
This past week, 5 of the people who came to do retreats (1 individual and 2 couples) contacted us only 2-3 days before they came. Last week we had someone who called and said, “I’ve finally decided I have to come and I have to come tomorrow!”
Every single time, we are able to deliver an amazing, incredible, life-changing, relationship-saving retreat! I love it!
“My Sedona Soul Adventures retreat was really an extraordinary experience. The network of practitioners are highly experienced and are deeply committed to nurturing your spiritual development. The staff are quite adept at creating an adventure that perfectly aligns with what your heart needs and desires at this point in your life. Due to a unique life situation, I was only able to request an adventure within 24 hours. I was amazed at how quickly the team mobilized. Not only did I experience deep healing but gained profound insights at the soul level that will forever change my life experience. I’m so thrilled that I made this investment in myself. I was sad to leave Sedona but I have treasures that will last a lifetime.” ~ Bill H., Bothell, Washington
Do we prefer to have a few weeks notice? Of course, it makes it easier on our staff, especially if they have to start moving some things around. But honestly, I kind of love the last-minute retreats the most and I’ve noticed that for many of those people their retreats are 110% amazing, rather than 100%.
There’s something about running with that energy. There’s something that happens when you hit that place where you realize, “I have to do something and I have to do it now!”
Joanna gave us only 48 hours notice and found clarity:
“My soul adventure was a great experience and just what I needed. I was amazed with the quality of adventure they put together for me on a 48 hr notice. I would recommend Sedona Soul Adventures to anyone looking for clarity in their lives.” ~ Joanna D., Chicago, Illinois
I’ve had so many people tell me that they have wanted to do a Soul Adventure for such a long time (one person said it was over 15 years!), but they just kept putting it off, telling themselves, “someday.”
But then, like with Laura, suddenly they “know” they have to do it:
“In June, I found your web site through a google search I sent the link to myself in an email and kept it in my “keep as new” box for months knowing that it was something I wanted to do when the time was right. I thought of it often until I woke up from a dream about the adventure the morning of September 28th knowing that “now is the time.” My initial call with my Soul Guide was more than I could have hoped for – she asked me prompting questions, listened to my answers and made me feel very comfortable every step of the way. She managed to “fast track” my experience and I arrived in Sedona 4 days later! The retreat she developed suited my desires perfectly and added to my journey of spiritual growth in ways that I could not have done without her understanding of what I was seeking. Every one at Sedona Soul Adventures enhanced my journey beyond all my expectations! Thank you from the bottom of my heart” ~ Laura K., West Hollywood, California
Another thing people always say to me is, “I wish I would have done this years ago.” I always tell them that everyone comes when they’re supposed to come – it’s true every single time.
But it is interesting to see someone like Ginger who came here from a foreign country in 2 days and found relief from turmoil that had plagued her for a lifetime:
“Debra and the gang were able to organize a 6 day Soul Adventure for me within 2 days and I traveled in from a foreign country! I made a leap of faith, and Sedona Soul Adventures was my net. I have realized and cleared things about myself in one week that I have not been able to figure out in a lifetime of tears and turmoil! I am so blessed to have found this group of people who helped me find myself, and who don’t want anything else from you but your own personal peace. It is the most life changing experience I never knew I could have hoped to have.. If you don’t give this gift to yourself, give this as a gift to someone you love! Thank God for the internet and all the Angels at Sedona Soul Adventures” ~ Ginger P., Santa Ana Costa Rica
Another interesting thing that happens is that when people go home after their adventure, their spouses, friends and co-workers see the incredible changes and then call us and say, “I want some of that!”
Like Mike, whose wife came to us completely broken from taking care of her dying mother and problems with her adult daughter and went home a new person. She said, “This was the best money I ever spent on myself.”
Mike called us and started his retreat 3 days later. He gave this testimonial one year later and told us how his life has shifted:
“It is true, the experiences I had at Sedona Soul Adventures did stick with me. I learned to meditate here, I had never meditated before. I meditate now and I find it very calming and helpful in dealing with the day to day stress of life now. I just do a different way than I did in the past. The other experiences I had brought me onto a different path in the way I view certain parts of my life. I look at things differently than I did before more spiritually, because I didn’t feel very spiritual before I came here. I now feel I have a direction.” ~ Mike V., Miami, Florida
If you are someone who has been reading my newsletters for many years and told yourself, “Someday I’m going to do a Soul Adventure,” I’m begging you, don’t keep putting it off! Come here!
If you’re reading this newsletter for the first time and you feel that itch that you have to do something and you have to do it now, please contact us!
There’s something about following that energy that is simply magical. The first time I came to Sedona (way back in 1999), every part of my life was a mess and I knew something had to change in my life. I’m so glad I listened.
If you know it’s time for a change in your life or your relationship, please come to Sedona and do a retreat. Contact us, talk to one of our Soul Guides and they’ll custom design a retreat that will take you from where you are to where you want to be. Don’t delay! Do it today! We’re open 7 days a week because I know from experience that when ya gotta go, ya gotta go!
If you knew what could happen, you’d be calling us right now.

And now for the first time, we’ve decided to do a 5-day add-on to Jordan and Petra in between the two trips, so that people from each trip can experience these amazing places!
We’ll be going to Petra to see one of the most spectacular places on Earth, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea and Jerash.
Petra was one of the most important cities on the ancient trading routes of the Middle East back in the 1200’s. And then it faded into obscurity and for many years people in the West thought it didn’t even exist, that it was a kind of Shangri La that was mystical and not real.
But in the 1800s, a Westerner disguised himself as a Bedouin and was taken there. It was re-discovered and became known as “The Lost City.” Now it’s become a Unesco World Site, because it is so extraordinary.
Do you remember the ending of the movie “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”? This is the one where Sean Connery plays Indiana’s father. Towards the end of the movie they are taken to this mystical place where the Holy Grail has been kept for millennia (that part isn’t true).
At the very end, we see them riding off into the sunset away from this incredible place. The picture above shows the incredible stone structure, and why this place is called “the Rose City.”
No two people are the same, which is why we custom-design each of our Executive Retreats to meet your specific issues, needs, timing, and budget. Over the years, we've found some retreat themes that keep recurring.
Choose which is right for where you are in your professional life.
The Best Executive Retreats in 2022 from Sedona Soul Adventures
Best Executive Retreats in 2022 for Women Executive
You’ve made it to the top. You played the game, climbed the ladder, and reached the pinnacle of success.
But if you’re like a lot of female executives, you’re not as happy as you thought you’d be. You realize that your accomplishments have come at a steep price…
You may feel disconnected from yourself, from Source, and from those who matter most to you.
Perhaps you feel as though you’ve shifted too far into your masculine energy, and as a result, now you feel “out of whack.”
Or maybe you recognize that in the push to grow your company and achieve ever-greater levels of success, you’ve lost touch with who you really are ... leaving you feeling empty, dissatisfied, and completely unfulfilled.
You’ve lost your drive and passion. And you’re wondering if you’ll ever get it back -- or find your life purpose.
You know it’s time for a change. You’re ready to start listening to the little voice that’s nudging you to seek more – and to take a new approach to finding your answers.
You may be tempted to schedule a group executive retreat. But executive retreats too often focus heavily, if not exclusively, on the business side of life. Who you are and how you’re feeling as a person are far more important, because your authentic self is the foundation for your effectiveness as an executive.
A private executive retreat may be the answer you need to discover the connection, freedom to be yourself, and sense of empowerment you’re seeking.
Unlike group retreats, where you’re forced to follow the same schedule as everyone else, your private retreat with Sedona Soul Adventures is completely custom-designed for where you are - and where you want to go.
We work closely with more than 50 different Master Practitioners in Sedona and will hand-select those best suited to serve you. All of these carefully vetted practitioners have decades of experience, ensuring that your retreat delivers life-changing experiences and lifelong memories.
By receiving the full benefit of our practitioners’ attention and energy during private sessions -- conducted face-to-face here in Sedona or on Zoom during an At Home retreat -- your development can be accelerated dramatically. It’s not unusual for clients to report that they feel like different people by the end of their retreats.
To learn more and explore what your custom-designed executive retreat might look like, schedule a complimentary, no-obligation Retreat Planning Session with one of our retreat consultants.
Best Executive Retreats in 2022 for Male Executives
You’ve reached the pinnacle of corporate success. Yet, despite having checked off all the accomplishments you thought you wanted, you find that you’re still not happy.
Instead, you feel irritable, constantly angry, and trapped by your responsibilities.
Or perhaps you feel empty, dissatisfied and unfulfilled - and out of touch with who you really are.
Or maybe you’ve experienced a major upheaval. Now your mind buzzes with distracting chatter … making it nearly impossible to tune into the intuition that used to serve you so well.
You recognize that you’re overdue for a change. You know it’s time to listen more carefully to the voice deep inside pushing you to seek more … and to explore new ways to uncover the answers you need.
An executive retreat may seem like the answer. But too often, executive retreats focus so much on the business side of life that your personal development is overlooked or completely ignored.
A custom-designed executive retreat may be the answer you need to discover the happiness, relief and freedom to be that you’re seeking.
Group retreats are designed to serve a group of people. What you need as an individual isn’t taken into consideration.
A private executive retreat with Sedona Soul Adventures, on the other hand, is designed specifically for where you are - and where you want to go.
We custom-design your retreat, selecting from the more than 50 different Master Practitioners in Sedona with whom we work. These professionals each have decades of experience, which practically guarantees that your retreat delivers powerful experiences, life-changing transformation, and incredible memories.
These highly skilled professionals are able to connect you with the powerful transformation energy of Sedona -- whether you’re working with them in person in our beautiful town or meeting them on Zoom during an At Home retreat.
By the end of your transformational journey, you’ll feel lighter. Freer. Clear about where you’re headed and filled with passion, happiness and peace.
Your next step in planning your custom-designed Executive Retreat is to schedule a complimentary, no-obligation Retreat Planning Session with one of our retreat consultants.
During this confidential, complimentary, and no-obligation conversation, you’ll be invited to talk openly about where you are professionally – and where you want to go.
