The Sedona Counselling Centre is offering a five-day women’s retreat in Sedona, Arizona from March 19 to 23, 2012. This retreat will offer women an opportunity to step outside their often overly-hectic lives and reconnect with themselves in a region renowned for its beauty. 

“When they have no time for themselves, women start to forget who they are and what they want,” says Vikki Stark, family therapist and the Sedona Centre’s founder. “It’s very important from time to time, to step out and be around other women and keep in touch with what’s important to her.”

The retreat will include short hikes, workshops that explore your natural abilities and help letting go of painful experiences, yoga in a traditional yurt (an earthen structure), a visit to a meditation site, a Shaman-guided healing circle as well as shopping and visits to art galleries. Cost is $1,175 (US), which includes hotel fees, breakfasts, and transfers to and from the airport. Fees do not cover airfare to Phoenix and meals besides breakfast.
