Sedona, Arizona
January 25 -29, 2024
Did you know that Sedona is known as the most mystical place in the US? It’s sacred and powerful land holds a presence of concentrated energy similar to that of Machu Picchu and Stonehenge. Of course we’d want to immerse ourselves in a space like that to help bring that surge of creativity, connectedness and mindfulness we are looking for!
It has been said that after a visit to Sedona, many feel inspired, recharged and uplifted!
Part of REFRESH retreat is encouraging those who attend to view their lives or their creative movement in a different light. Due the the true
power that Sedona has shown to hold we believe that to just visit this place will grant you a shift; a recalibration in your sense of wonder.
The Home
We put a lot of time and energy into finding a home that helps facilitate our goals of relaxation, community, luxury and comfort. It is important to us that you walk through the front door and immediately feel special and loved.
This house embodies all (and more!) of those visions. Creative architecture, contemporary decor, and a spacious outdoor entertainment space looking toward Pyramid Mountain are just a few of the unique aspects of this home. In the living room, slide open the glass doors for an incredible indoor-outdoor living experience.
Less than a ten-minute walk away, enjoy a picnic and stunning views of Cathedral Rock along the shaded brookside paths of Oak Creek and the Crescent Moon Picnic Site. This luxe desert mansion is waiting with everything we need to spread out and relax.
