Retreat to heal your life and reset your body to health

Sedona retreats are a safe place to heal body, mind, and spirit. We have been offering #healing retreats for 11 years.
My husband and I have been eating only organic foods for years, and for the last year we have been gluten free. By changing our diet we feel more
energy and vitality than we have in years. This is a wonderful video by a Dr who has healed her M.S. naturally with foods, and exercise. If you know anyone who is suffering with MS pass the information to them.



If you are looking to get healthy and learn healing techniques email us or give us a call.
We will design a #retreat just for you based on your needs. A #Sedona Retreat will empower you to live your purpose and take the next step forward in your life.
Treat yourself to the gift of a #spiritual retreat, #wellness retreat for rewards that last a life time.

Retreat and connect to Your "Inner Healer"

Retreat and Heal empowers you with tools to embrace your inner healer and create inner peace. Are you looking for ways to stay healthy this summer and fall? Follow these tips to boost your immune system and turn up your healing light. In our retreats we teach Reiki and help each retreat guest connect with their inner healing energy. Reiki is a tool to clear stress and old emotional baggage. Follow these tips to connect with your "inner healer."

1. Spend time in the sun each day without sun screen, and without sun shades. This boost your ability to absorb vitamin D. Spend 15-20 minutes early in the day before 10 am.

2. Smile and hold the feeling of gratitude. When you are smiling and breathing you can't be in the past (anger and regret) or in the future (fear and anxiety).

3. Drink at least eight glasses of water. Bless your water before drinking it and ask it to cleanse the toxins from your system. Hum and send love to all your community of cells.

4. Decide a "inner peace" anchor. This can be a rose, sunflower, or even a rainbow. Anything that you value and has meaning. Each time you feel the old habit of "stinking thinking", stop and see your anchor and take three breaths, smile and fill your cells and heart with love. The more your practice the easier it gets and the more you begin to smile throughout the day. You create a vicious snow ball effect for more self love and health.

5. Practice "Faith" and positive expectancy. As a child we sometimes created the habit of thinking the worst as a way of protecting ourselves and preparing for the worst. Begin each day by visualizing the very best day possible and then hold gratitude for a good day.

6. Our Sedona Retreats like the one Terry(testimonial below) attended will help you release your stress and learn new ways to connect with inner peace.

Follow these simple daily rituals to stay healthy and boost your immune system. Retreat and Heal offers retreats year round that empower guests to embrace their inner healing energies, create inner peace, and clear away emotional baggage.

Quinoa Garden Tabbouleh Salad

I grew up on 150 acres in Tn. Summertime brings back lots of memories of the truck patches that we farmed, and all the fresh produce that we ate during summer. Tabbouleh is traditionally made with wheat but my new favorite version is Quinoa. Quinoa (pronounced keen wah) has all the amino acids and is a complete protein. It is very filling and gives you lots of energy. The plants on top are basil and purslane. Purslane is a weed that grows in my garden and is a vegetable source for omega fatty acids. So try my Tabbouleh Garden salad and let me know how you like it.

2 medium size fresh tomatoes
1 medium size cucumber
2-3 sprigs of fresh basil
2 sprigs of fresh mint
2-3 cups of cooked Quinoa(trio of red, white, and black are my fav)
2-3 tbsps organic apple cider vinegar or Balsamic (I switch back and forth)
1 tbsp celtic sea salt
2 large leaves of Chard cut fine
2 large leaves of Kale cut fine
1/4 cup purslane (my new favorite source of vit c, vit E and plant omega 3 and lots of minerals including magnesium)
2 tbsp organic olive oil
Handful of pine nuts

Mix this all together and add salt or vinegar to taste. Anyone care to guess what the flowers are? Enjoy and leave me a comment with your favorite garden recipe. Have you discovered Purslane yet? It may be growing wild in your garden or your yard. It is a natural plant source of vit C, vit E, and Omega 3. Let me know if you need seeds. It is very prolific.

Have you made your trip to Sedona Arizona yet? We offer year round retreats and we would love to be your #Spiritual #Retreat guide to #Sedona.

Retreat to Renew Your Relationship and Reconnect to Your heart Connection

Retreat and Heal offers relationship retreats to recapture that love connection. Couples enter relationships with high hopes and positive expectations for their dream romance. Fighting and pulling away are never part of the dream. Yet, old patterns from the past surface and seem stronger than any dreams and take over. Most couples who come to Sedona for our retreats find themselves stuck in hurt and pain without tools to heal. Our retreats empower couples to reconnect to love.

Reconnect to love by creating a vision of what you want in your relationship and commit your heart to your vision. Each partner creates a vision of what is wanted in the relationship then co-create a vision from the two visions.

Compassionate communication empowers each partner to speak up and compassionately ask for what they want. Through speaking up each person learns to keep their compassion and commitment alive. Our retreat couples learn to stay current with their emotions and speak up and ask for what they want.

The next step is to keep your heart open and ask for what you want. Invest daily into your relationship account by keeping your heart open and holding your vision. EFT, hypnotherapy, energy medicine, shamanic healing, empower our couples, and each retreat is based on your needs. Invest in your relationship by scheduling a retreat and reconnect to love.

Retreat and Reclaim Peace

Sedona retreats help you refocus and create more inner peace and spiritual connection. Many of our guests say that they feel stuck and disconnected spiritually. Your journey starts by feeling that deep longing inside for connection to God or Divine Source. Suffering from feelings of overwhelm? Can't sleep? The journey to balance begins with the desire and commitment to change bad habits that have created disconnection and overwhelm with healthy habits.

1. Start today with a smile. You might think that you don't have anything to smile about-but go ahead and try it for seven days. Think about things that you like to smile about. Research has shown that smiling can change your brain chemistry and begin creating the Law of Attraction; and you will begin to attract more to smile about.

2. Ways to release over-whelm? EFT also known as Emotional Freedom Technique is performed by tapping on energy meridians that traverse the body. The tapping acts to move and rid the body of uncompleted emotional energy that become major contributors to depression and overwhelm.

3. What symptoms can you use EFT to release? EFT has been used to release energy and symptoms associated with low back pain, headaches, and even more chronic dis-ease. It can be learned and applied for self treatment or you can receive a treatment from a practitioner. Both can be equally effective. EFT can also be applied to rid the mind of subconscious patterns and belief systems that create habits and addictions.

4. How often do you need to apply EFT to be effective? This will vary. Sometimes you will get immediate relief of symptoms. Other times you will remove one layer and then need to apply again within the same day or the next day and remove a deeper layer of emotions to go deeper to the core issue.

5. EFT has been used to quit smoking, release weight, stop sugar cravings and most cravings and urges, including serious addictions. It can be a key to unlock the hidden emotions that cause chronic depression and other nervous disorders including anxiety and panic attacks. It has been called the emotional energy cleanser and also the "miracle worker".

The most wonderful news is that you can learn this amazing self-help tool and apply it daily to release stress and bring your body back to health no matter what your symptoms.

Want to find out more information about EFT? My book Love's Secret Live Your Life In Love shares stories at the end of each chapter and includes EFT techniques to empower you to release your self-sabotaging habits. Retreat and Heal is offering a group EFT Retreat this fall to assist with releasing beliefs and habits that block the expression of health and happiness.

Our Sedona retreats include EFT, Reiki, and other powerful healing tools to get to the root of dis-ease. Let us design a retreat especially for you designed to fit your needs and budget. Take a look at our video retreat testimonial from David regarding his EFT Retreat.

Retreat to Claim your Freedom

Retreat to free yourself from fear and worry. What does freedom mean to you? Free from worry, free from feeling controlled, free from bills, free from feeling overwhelmed? When you think of freedom it boils down to a feeling right? Eagles are a symbol of freedom to many. Can you imagine the feeling of flying high above the fears and worries of everyday life?

Since freedom is a feeling you can learn to create that feeling and then take time to "practice" those feelings throughout your day. These feelings of "freedom" will flood your body with good chemicals called endorphins and feel good hormones. Treat yourself to some good "feelings" and create a good feeling or "freedom" break throughout your day.

Many of our retreat guests come to Sedona seeking freedom from fear, anxiety and worry. To claim freedom from fear and worry you must create new thoughts and habits that support feeling safe and peaceful. Let us be your guides to claim inner freedom and feelings of Inner Peace. Retreat with us for a day, three days, or a full week to claim the freedom you deserve!

Retreat to Manifest Your Dreams

Retreats empower you with tools to focus and manifest your dreams. Are you empowering or sabotaging your dreams? When you think of your dreams are you able to hold feelings of "Yes I can" or is there a feeling of "I can't really achieve this"? Your feelings are the most important tools you hold for creating your dreams. Use them creatively and often. Here are some tools to keep you focused and empower your dreams. Below are tools that we share through our personal healing retreats.

1. Start each day with quiet time to visualize and hold the feeling of having your dreams. Listen to music that calms your mind and creates the space to focus.

2. Through out the day allow yourself to day dream and hold the feelings of gratitude for the things already present in your life. Then visualize your vision for what you want in your life.

3. Smile throughout the day. Each time you smile hold the feeling of gratitude for your health and for having your dream vision manifest.

We hope to see you soon at one of our Day Retreats, or Personal Healing Retreats. Our retreats include tools to clear past beliefs and empower your dreams.

Retreat to Declutter and Focus

A retreat away from your normal environment can help you reset what feels normal. According to Denver Post Clutter can be caused by many different influences. For me I grew up in an environment where stress, chaos, and clutter felt normal. Here are the new habits that I found that helped me reset my normal feeling of clutter to organized and relaxed.

Follow these three tips to shift your life from clutter and chaos to inner peace and happiness.

1. Clutter comes from a habit of self sabotage and a feeling of holding on. Practice Yoga at least three times per week. Yoga is a great way to expand your mind, body, and spirit. Yoga creates inner strength to break free from patterns and habits; creating a calm clear mind.

2. Meditation has been proven to shift your mind and create new thought patterns. Most of our retreat guests have a challenge slowing their mind down from the hectic pace of their life. The best way to slow the mind down is to practice breath awareness. As you observe your breath, just watch your thoughts. Become the witness and slowly you will notice your thoughts becoming more peaceful. One of the most powerful and popular meditations that we teach is the "inner smile" meditation. Find a peaceful place in nature or in your home. Play some relaxing music and hold the intention to let go. As you smile and send the love that you give so freely to others to yourself you will feel a beautiful glow growing inside. The "inner smile" has been proven to change your brain chemistry. As you clear away the cobwebs of "inner judgement", "inner anger" and "inner criticism" you will find it easier to change your outer environment.

3. Include something in your day that you love. If you can, take a walk in nature and allow yourself to slow down and welcome peace into your life. If you love dancing this is a great way to release stress. Listen to your inner urges they will guide you to peace.

Retreat and Heal is a small boutique retreat specializing in personalized retreats that cater to you and your needs. The New Year and Spring is a beautiful time to pamper yourself and declutter your life. Gift yourself a retreat to reset your normal to inner peace and happiness; you deserve to live your life in love.
