The Art of Trance
Sedona, Arizona USA
Feb. 27-March 2, 2025
The Art of Trance
Join me in Sedona for a three and half day workshop on the art of achieving and staying in trance. Trance simply means altered state of consciousness, to which we use when we meditate, give and receive healings, and commune with our spirit guides. Trance is the act of slowing down the brain waves to achieve a deep level of spiritual bliss. This retreat will be made up of a series of short lessons and long experiences. The experiences are meant to give you practice at being and staying in trance. We will take on different approaches such as ritual, music, meditation, mantra, and movement.
Ritual: tea and gong ceremony, fire ceremony, and cacao ceremony
Music: sound bath and binaural beats
Mantra: om chant and humming
Movement: gentle rocking and walking
The goal is to get comfortable with trance signs in the body, thoughts, and emotions so you can obtain this level of relaxation to apply it to your meditations, spiritual practice, spirit communication and more. This retreat will not be teaching channeling skills and only focusing on achieving altered states of consciousness. Anyone on their spiritual awakening journey can come to this retreat. You can go as deep as you would like, or stay on the surface with the lessons. There is no expectation of personal outcome, only support to reach trance states to your own level of comfort. Come dressed for comfort as most of the experiences are laying down and being still. If there is a special pillow or item of comfort that will help you while laying down, please feel free to bring it.
Quick Links
Why Sedona?
Of course, Sedona’s iconic red rock formations are instantly recognizable and unlike anything else. These towering cliffs and buttes, carved by wind and water over millions of years, create a surreal, otherworldly atmosphere that draws nature lovers, artists, and adventurers alike. But for me, Sedona, is renowned for its unique spiritual energy, making it a popular destination for spiritual seekers.
The combination of the natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and vortex energies can lead to greater self-awareness, clarity of purpose, and breakthroughs in personal or spiritual development. Many people report feeling more in tune with their inner guidance, experiencing heightened intuition, and having spiritual visions or insights while visiting.
Sedona has a rich Native American history and is considered sacred by many indigenous tribes, such as the Hopi, Navajo and Havasupai. The connection to this ancient wisdom adds depth to the spiritual experiences in the area, with ceremonies, art, and teachings still influencing the culture today. If you join us for this retreat, you will be working with Uqualla who is a spiritual emissary, expert ceremonialist, and universal wisdom keeper, born of the Havasupai Tribe that resides in the Grand Canyon
Did you know Sedona is a designated “Dark Sky Community”? This means it takes measures to reduce light pollution, making it perfect for stargazing. On a clear night, the sky becomes a vast, sparkling canvas—offering an experience that feels cosmic and magical. This would be a great location for some night sky watching or some CE5s on the side. Bring your binoculars!
Beyond the spiritual energy, Sedona is also a hub for physical and emotional wellness. Spas, alternative medicine clinics, and wellness centers abound, providing everything from traditional massages to Reiki, crystal healing, and sound baths. For this retreat, we will be participating in a tea & gong ceremony, fire ceremony, sound bath, and a cacao ceremony. But stay longer and explore more of Sedona’ offerings, like all the metaphysical, crystal and art stores.
Sedona is alive with energy, and I look forward to hosting The Art of Trance in it’s vortex!
