We’ll root to rise Friday morning with hiking, sunrise yoga and meditation.
As the sun warms the red rocks and our bodies we will practice together, grounding down and continuing to move inward as we prepare to rise!
We’ll hike up to the top of Cathedral Rock for an unforgettable experience and one of Sedona’s most breathtaking views!

“I am physically stronger and mentally calmer and clearer! I have a stronger sense of who I am and it was been so wonderful to share my understanding with other like-minded people. Some of the highlights of this retreat for me was overcoming fear and being with such wonderful people. Hope took us on a journey at just the right pace. I look forward to experiencing all the post-retreat benefits!”

Back at the inn you will have free time to explore the beautiful setting with 9 lush acres of healing, majestic canyon oaks bathed in dappled sunlight as you enjoy the view of Sedona’s majestic red rocks.
If you like, this might be an ideal time to take advantage of your spa service in the heated private gazebo by the creek, or in the privacy of your own room.
This is your chance to melt into the table as your massage therapist and the sounds of nature invite your body and soul to fully relax and let go. There are other options, too—for example, a gentle hike, a walking or seated meditation, an hour of journaling, or simply sitting in peace while soaking up the healing sounds of the creek.
After dinner we will gather for a restorative yoga practice, listening deeply to what your body really wants, and then join together to share beautiful meditations and reflections from the day.

“The Awakening Hope Retreat truly helped me unlock feelings that led to self-discovery and a catalyst for change – leading the way to a better life! I also got so much great knowledge about the practice of yoga. ”
