Rest, Recharge + Reconnect

WITH Michelle Allen

Join Michelle for an intimate retreat in the magnificent landscape of Sedona, Arizona. Together we will experience the healing power of this sacred land through yoga, mindfulness practices, guided hikes, and powerful vortex energy exploration. To cultivate a truly intimate experience, participation is limited to just eight guests, allowing for deeper connection, personalized guidance, and meaningful community.

We will gather, eat, and rest together at Briar Patch Inn, nestled on the banks of Oak Creek. We'll find presence in the shade of wise old Sycamore and Oak trees, surrounded by sounds of wildlife and the soothing rhythm of the creek. It is a peaceful and serene setting ideal for quiet reflection, integration and rest.

Your Retreat Experience Includes:

What to Expect

Over the course of our time together, we’ll focus on cultivating a deeper understanding of the subtle energies within our bodies and minds, and how they shape our relationships with other people and the world around us. We will explore these ideas through yoga, strength and mobility exercises, meditation, yoga nidra, Reiki, and guided “Earth journeys,” including hiking to sacred Sedona vortex sites led by Aaron Ogden. 

A vortex is a concentration of energy which is believed to be supercharged with healing Earth medicine. Various Indigenous tribes, including the Yavapai, Apache, and Hopi, have long considered Sedona to be sacred land. We hope to tap into this energy, and let it guide us in spiritual, energetic, and bodily wellness.

A Timeless Haven for Rest + Renewal

Our retreat will be hosted at the historic Briar Patch Inn, nestled on nine lush acres beneath towering sycamores and majestic oaks. This serene sanctuary provides the perfect setting for rest, renewal, and reflection.
