Going from session&lt;br /&gt;to session and seeing the same issues come up and learning how to work on them&lt;br /&gt;in different ways was invaluable. I have reconnected with a part of myself that&lt;br /&gt;I stopped trusting. I know what I need to do going forward and that is loving&lt;br /&gt;and respecting myself. I have learned to trust myself again. I understand the&lt;br /&gt;connection between my body, mind, spirit, and every better than ever. I have&lt;br /&gt;reconnected with nature and my true self. I learned it's going to take a lot of&lt;br /&gt;energy to maintain this and stay on this path but I know this is the path to my&lt;br /&gt;happiness. I deserve this more than anything. Everything was perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karen Pogue&amp;nbsp; St. Jacobs, Ontario, Canada&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, thank you for co-coordinating such a rich and fulfilling&lt;br /&gt;experience. It truly made my time in Sedona that much more enriching and&lt;br /&gt;special. Thank you for exposing me to the many practitioners you have within&lt;br /&gt;your organization. They were so kind and warm. They opened me up to new tools,&lt;br /&gt;experiences, and made me realize who I was, was always there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roxan Gould&amp;nbsp; Boulder, CO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learned ceremonial and meditative techniques to help me release my stuff I&lt;br /&gt;don't need to carry around. This makes me feel so much lighter! It brings me&lt;br /&gt;joy and helps eliminate needless worry. I like the quality and high caliber of&lt;br /&gt;all the practitioners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grace&amp;nbsp; Carlsbad, CA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so grateful I gifted myself with this experience during a time of&lt;br /&gt;transition in my life. The sessions I had were arranged in perfect sequence,&lt;br /&gt;one built upon the other allowing me to release things that no longer serve me&lt;br /&gt;to create space for healing and higher vibrational experiences. All of the&lt;br /&gt;practitioners were amazing and gifted. They each taught me something that I can&lt;br /&gt;apply in my daily life. I feel more balanced and lighter than I did when I&lt;br /&gt;arrived and I'm excited to take this energy home and use the tools I learned as&lt;br /&gt;I start the next chapter in my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kevin Noreen&amp;nbsp; Gunnison, CO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My experience at SpiritQuest was absolutely amazing! I can't believe how well&lt;br /&gt;each of my sessions flowed from one to the next and how much time, effort, and&lt;br /&gt;dedication each and everyone of the practitioners I met with put into my&lt;br /&gt;experience. I truly felt the care and sincerity of everyone, and at each&lt;br /&gt;session I had completely undivided attention. Everyone was absolutely there for&lt;br /&gt;me and it created a very special environment in which to let go, learn, grow,&lt;br /&gt;and have space for deep insight and reflection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andrea Woodley&amp;nbsp; Alexandria, VA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so glad I decided to partake of this journey. It was a long time coming.&lt;br /&gt;The program itself provides a basis for the individual to use collectively all&lt;br /&gt;the tools insight, and information received from practitioners. This allows the&lt;br /&gt;individual to form and pattern a path that's fitting for their own needs. I am&lt;br /&gt;grateful to have learned several styles and techniques that will be useful as I&lt;br /&gt;create my own personal regimen. I was impressed with the depth of insight the&lt;br /&gt;practitioners possessed. They all seemed to have a sense of peace which&lt;br /&gt;resonated during the sessions. This helped me to relax and have a sense of&lt;br /&gt;comfort and connection. All in all, no one was any more outstanding than the&lt;br /&gt;other. I am a believer in intention and feel that each served as an important&lt;br /&gt;part of my puzzle and with all the pieces created a recipe that completed my&lt;br /&gt;picture. I thank you SpiritQuest for being exactly what I needed at this time&lt;br /&gt;in my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nancy Rahr Boise, ID&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was so much more healing and life changing than I'd expected. I have been on&lt;br /&gt;a spiritual path most of my life and am pretty familiar with the various modes&lt;br /&gt;of self-help in terms of deepening my awareness, broadening my spirituality&lt;br /&gt;and self-realization. I continue to grow and evolve, however this past year in&lt;br /&gt;particular has been one of challenge and loss. The healing itinerary put&lt;br /&gt;together for me was perfect. The sessions were enlightening, deeply healing.&lt;br /&gt;In the end, and now almost 2 weeks later, I feel re-born.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dave Stenman&amp;nbsp; Kasson MN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My overall experience greatly exceeded any expectation I may have had. I&lt;br /&gt;learned a great deal about myself and learned several self-healing tools that I&lt;br /&gt;can take with me and use daily. The self-grounding tool where I can tap into&lt;br /&gt;the energy of Mother Earth and draw that energy upward into my being has been&lt;br /&gt;truly priceless. My spiritual being has been awakened and come alive. This is a&lt;br /&gt;wonderful, beautiful, life changing event. The spiritual healing that I have&lt;br /&gt;experienced in the past few days has been overwhelming, unbelievable, and so&lt;br /&gt;rewarding. I have started the process of integrating and healing my inner&lt;br /&gt;child. To fully realize that part of me is alive and not damaged goods and&lt;br /&gt;not broken is simply amazing. The Healing the Family Within was the most&lt;br /&gt;powerful and life changing event that has happened in my entire life. All the&lt;br /&gt;sessions were excellent and the presenters were truly amazing with their&lt;br /&gt;insight, intuition, gentleness, and love that was directed toward me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jennifer Martin&amp;nbsp; Lonetree, CO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a great experience to work with all of these talented and caring healers&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;one on one. The sessions were private and felt safe and really were tailored&lt;br /&gt;for my unique situation. I could feel that each practitioner truly cared about&lt;br /&gt;me and was there to help me to heal myself. I loved how each practitioner&lt;br /&gt;authentically wanted to share their skill and send me away with tools to keep&lt;br /&gt;me centered and true to myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Erika Ross&amp;nbsp; Denver, CO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SpiritQuest is a unique, outstanding enterprise which allows for gentle, loving&lt;br /&gt;healing to occur. I was amazed at the high level of excellence of each and&lt;br /&gt;every practitioner which I had the privilege to meet. The program is&lt;br /&gt;brilliantly conceived and incredibly effective in reaching its goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kimberly Collins&amp;nbsp; Millburn, NJ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, I learned several tools that should, in an ideal world better help me&lt;br /&gt;process and more on from certain situations in a positive, rather than&lt;br /&gt;self-destructive, manner. I most liked the camaraderie I experienced at Juniper&lt;br /&gt;House and was pleased to note how relaxed I was able to be during my stay&lt;br /&gt;there. I also thoroughly enjoyed my time out on the land during my sessions as&lt;br /&gt;well as my sessions with Bobbi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karen Farmilo&amp;nbsp; California&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sessions were incredible, and everyone I encountered was simply special. I&lt;br /&gt;felt a connection with all. I believe I learned how to live a life of inner&lt;br /&gt;peace, and was encouraged to pursue my intention with very specific tools. I&lt;br /&gt;know it's still a life long journey, and I'm excited to go home and practice. I&lt;br /&gt;don't know yet how I have changed, time will tell when I practice what I've&lt;br /&gt;learned here. There isn't one thing I like most, all were intertwined&lt;br /&gt;beautifully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nathania Bernadin - Nanuet, NY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so happy I found SpiritQuest. I enjoyed every single session. I loved the&lt;br /&gt;fact it was one on one sessions and the sessions catered to my needs. I will be&lt;br /&gt;taking more sessions in the near future. You have a powerful team of gifted&lt;br /&gt;practitioners. My three day retreat I extended to a 5 day. Everyone had so much&lt;br /&gt;to share. I appreciate every single one of you. I have so much gratitude&lt;br /&gt;because I have been blessed to experience such healing work. I learned to&lt;br /&gt;continue to take care of the spirit and never lose the connection to Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;This has been the best seven days of my life. I discovered a lot of positive&lt;br /&gt;and negatives in my life. I embrace both sides because I know Spirit is always&lt;br /&gt;around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kay Beck&amp;nbsp; Austin, TX&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best thing I've ever done for myself! I have received all the love and&lt;br /&gt;support I've needed all my life and will carry it with me for the remainder of&lt;br /&gt;my days in this life. Thank you!Thank you! Thank you! and an infinite number of&lt;br /&gt;times more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andrea Morgan Chelmsford, MA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was so much more than I could have imagined.  Each session built upon the&lt;br /&gt;previous one so that the earlier sessions didn't get rated as well because I&lt;br /&gt;didn't get the full impact of the session until it worked itself into the next&lt;br /&gt;session. By the end of the week, I found Don communicating with me much more&lt;br /&gt;openly and he was less tentative speaking to others.  We learned some skills&lt;br /&gt;that will be invaluable in the coming years to avoid some of the pitfalls we&lt;br /&gt;have found ourselves in.  I no longer fear becoming just like our parents.  We&lt;br /&gt;have tools to help us communicate our feelings and frustrations well before&lt;br /&gt;they mutate into anger and resentment.  And building on the tantra session will&lt;br /&gt;certainly be a wonderful adventure.  So much has opened up for us in one short&lt;br /&gt;week.  I am so looking forward tour next 33 years together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Donald Morgan&amp;nbsp; Chelmsford, MA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought that the whole program flowed very well with sessions building on&lt;br /&gt;each other to give me an unbelievable result.  There's a lot to reflect on.  I&lt;br /&gt;do believe that my life has changed.  Already (or still after coming home) I&lt;br /&gt;see more drive in me to communicate better with Andrea and a vastly improved&lt;br /&gt;sense of intimacy.  What a tremendous boost for our marriage.  Personally, I've&lt;br /&gt;already started two new things to express myself and do my own thing.  My&lt;br /&gt;favorite part was opening up, exposing myself to Andrea in a way that I've&lt;br /&gt;never done before.  It was the most freeing experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Janet Akers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I came to Sedona, I had felt the need for more male energy in my life&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;not a definite requirement, just a vague feeling.  While in Sedona I saw 7&lt;br /&gt;women practitioners and 4 men, it was the men who gave me what I really needed&lt;br /&gt;though Amalia came close with the dancing!  What I needed to experience was men&lt;br /&gt;who have an energy, enthusiasm, interest and respect for life, for people, for&lt;br /&gt;animals, for nature, for women, and for wives.  They have it in bucket loads&lt;br /&gt;and it was evident in the way they talked and acted.  It was perfect and I will&lt;br /&gt;be eternally grateful for their sharing of themselves with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Victoria Lee Struss&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What an awesome experience I had with the healers that I met through&lt;br /&gt;SpiritQuest.  When I came I was scared of the unknown.  I didn't know what to&lt;br /&gt;expect, but I knew that talking to Ed and Katherine on the phone I would be&lt;br /&gt;okay.  It seems that SpiritQuest knew what I needed in my life at that time&lt;br /&gt;because each session had a thread that was connected and that thread was&lt;br /&gt;connected to me, to teach to love myself and have a voice in my life.  I also&lt;br /&gt;learned that the answers are always inside of me.  That is I take the time to&lt;br /&gt;pray, meditate and listen to the answer, it's right there.  When I got home it&lt;br /&gt;took me a while to adjust to the new information that I received.  It was a lot&lt;br /&gt;to take in, but each day I notice a peaceful presence within myself.  My life&lt;br /&gt;has changed so much for the past two months.  I am much happier with who I am&lt;br /&gt;and I love me for the first time in my life and really mean it.  Thank you so&lt;br /&gt;much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jennifer McKendry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I entered this journey feeling lost, confused, hurt &amp;amp; disillusioned.  I left&lt;br /&gt;Sedona feeling more in control of my thoughts &amp;amp; feelings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Connected to Mother Nature&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trusting in my relationships&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honored to have been introduced to such wonderful Spirit Guides&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lucky to have been able to take this journey&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More hopeful&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each and every Spirit Guide has made a profound impact teaching, showing,&lt;br /&gt;revealing&amp;nbsp; through their own words &amp;amp; actions.  To honor them I will practice&lt;br /&gt;what was instilled in me as I know they have made me a truer person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My sessions were scheduled back-to-back, and as much as I enjoyed all of them,&lt;br /&gt;it would have been more beneficial if there was more time in between.  I felt I&lt;br /&gt;did not have the time to reflect on the previous session before embarking on&lt;br /&gt;the next one.  It was indeed an intensive retreat for merely 3 days.  On my&lt;br /&gt;next return, I will allow more time &amp;amp; less sessions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I truly appreciate the loving care by everyone.  They gave me their heart felt&lt;br /&gt;wisdom so that my own heart and spirit can be at peace.  Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chonique Sneed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ed and Katherine- you have truly shifted my evolution in a forward moving path&lt;br /&gt;thanks to what you've created with SQ.  My journey has been unmatched, heart&lt;br /&gt;reactivated, mind rebooted, soul restored, body recharged.  I will never forget&lt;br /&gt;this experience, and thanks to the tools you have given me to take home. I&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gabby Santos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to find peace again and how to let go of hurt and anxiety.  I also learned&lt;br /&gt;techniques for meditation, breathing and creating sacred places/ceremonies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel so hopeful and alive, grateful and centered.  I don't feel I need to be&lt;br /&gt;in control or demand and secure my place in the world.  I have it anywhere and&lt;br /&gt;everywhere.  I also will not blame others or be disappointed by others for not&lt;br /&gt;loving or showing the care I need.  I have a newfound energy and am much more&lt;br /&gt;aware of it.  I've learned not to judge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I most was amazed by my medicine wheel and intensive breathwork sessions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to everyone associated with my journey, their kindness was above-beyond&lt;br /&gt;my expectations.  Not to mention the talent.  This has been the biggest gift&lt;br /&gt;I've ever received.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gerry Gregg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once I booked my SQ retreat, I was careful not to allow myself to form&lt;br /&gt;expectations of what my experiences would be.  I didn't want to get my hopes up&lt;br /&gt;that I would have any particular experience and then be disappointed if I&lt;br /&gt;didn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the end of my first day of sessions I realized that my experiences already&lt;br /&gt;far exceeded any hopes or expectations I could have formed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In retrospect, I am filled with respect and gratitude for the integrity, skill,&lt;br /&gt;and authenticity of each practitioner with whom I spent time.  During my&lt;br /&gt;retreat I was deeply moved by the love, generosity and ability of every&lt;br /&gt;practitioner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt truly seen.  I was affirmed in the vision of myself, which I have&lt;br /&gt;resisted.  I was encouraged to move confidently forward into my full being.  I&lt;br /&gt;was enabled to see, touch and believe truths of my self and my vision and&lt;br /&gt;ability that had previously been difficult or frightening to embrace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For all this, as well as simple, beautiful human connection, I am forever&lt;br /&gt;grateful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Donn Ungar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Ed and Katherine,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just wanted to drop you a note thanking you for the incredible experience in&lt;br /&gt;Sedona. I am pursuing all kinds of metaphysical trainings/understandings so&lt;br /&gt;that I may become a part of the universe that helps others.  You were both a&lt;br /&gt;big part of that and I am grateful our paths have crossed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katherine, although we didn't spend much time together, I could feel your&lt;br /&gt;warmth and caring nature while reviewing my schedule for the week.  It took me&lt;br /&gt;a couple of days but I saw your incredible talents at the house in your&lt;br /&gt;paintings-from the strong powerful modern art in the living and bathroom, to&lt;br /&gt;the subtle and touching art in the Manzanita room.  Above my bed was the&lt;br /&gt;beautiful painting of a fairy resting on a tree with no reflection in the&lt;br /&gt;waters below.  So very touching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ed, who knew an archeologist could be so enlightened?  Our hike was fantastic.&lt;br /&gt;I knew nothing of the Hopi Indians but now feel grateful to know so much about&lt;br /&gt;an incredible group of people with strong perseverance and desire for peace.&lt;br /&gt;What an example for the rest of us.  I will be emailing you some of my pictures&lt;br /&gt;over the next few weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I am supposed to fill out a review of all my practitioners but the truth&lt;br /&gt;is they are all great!  On a scale of 1 to 5, they were 10's in my book.  They&lt;br /&gt;provided me insight into myself, my energies, my abilities and the&lt;br /&gt;world/universe around me. Each and every practitioner gave me a great gift of&lt;br /&gt;raising my consciousness to unimaginable heights-all in their own unique way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also want you to know that Kim and Kelly are also great.  Their warm support&lt;br /&gt;and true caring about my experience certainly put my mind at ease.  Although I&lt;br /&gt;didn't see them very often I'm glad I was able to meet them in person at the&lt;br /&gt;office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know when I will be returning to Sedona but when I do, I'll be visiting&lt;br /&gt;with friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judy Montoya&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For along time now, I have had a feeling of being empty. I have been struggling&lt;br /&gt;also with my religious upbringing vs. spirituality, trying unsuccessfully to&lt;br /&gt;open my heart because I knew I was empty, but reverting to my head, listening&lt;br /&gt;to the eyes and ears of what I thought should be.  Now I feel free.  Free to&lt;br /&gt;embrace the spiritual side of me, free to follow the intuitive messages I hear,&lt;br /&gt;free to know God more deeply and fully than religion allowed me to. Free to&lt;br /&gt;FEEL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't happen overnight, of course.  SpiritQuest was the first step.  A&lt;br /&gt;huge step to opening up to embrace what the rest of my life looks like.  The&lt;br /&gt;tools I now have will enable me to meditate more deeply, let go of behaviors&lt;br /&gt;that no longer need to be a part of me, and to live in each moment, discovering&lt;br /&gt;every day my soul which has been recovered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sandra (Calgary)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The experience was all brand new for me.  I'd never really thought about&lt;br /&gt;spirituality in the way that it was presented to me during this retreat.  I'd&lt;br /&gt;never meditated or told myself any affirmations.  I'd never thought about&lt;br /&gt;breathing in the way it was spoke about.  With all of that said, I learned more&lt;br /&gt;than I could've imagined.  My whole world has changed.  I learned how to Love which&lt;br /&gt;is something that was never a focus.  I enjoyed being out on the land and&lt;br /&gt;getting connected to myself and Mother Earth.  I enjoyed learning meditations&lt;br /&gt;and affirmations.  I would have enjoyed more sessions being out on the land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nancy Pabers and Kevin Gordon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our experience here was nothing short of magical!  We really fell in love with&lt;br /&gt;Sedona-the way it feels, the way the light and clouds play such an amazing role&lt;br /&gt;in day to day life.  All the healers and practitioners were truly inspirational&lt;br /&gt;and offered something to us that we take back to our everyday lives.  While in Sedona we got&lt;br /&gt;to work it everyday and noticed how much of a difference it made.  Its been a&lt;br /&gt;week since we have been back and we continue to incorporate some of the tools&lt;br /&gt;and techniques that we used while in Sedona and we really begin to notice&lt;br /&gt;changes-positive changes! All of you at SpiritQuest are delightful,&lt;br /&gt;professional, inspiring individuals who truly represent SpiritQuest in its&lt;br /&gt;intention.  We are recommending your organization to all our friends and&lt;br /&gt;family.  Wishing you continued success, joy and love! Namaste- Nancy and Kevin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martin Banyard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will be very honest...after paying my initial deposit, I was having some&lt;br /&gt;second thoughts about paying so much money to experience my SpiritQuest&lt;br /&gt;adventure, but by the end of the first day, all I could think about was that&lt;br /&gt;the gifts I had already received (and would receive over the coming few days)&lt;br /&gt;were..priceless!  My guides and practitioners were without exception wonderful&lt;br /&gt;spiritual beings.  Their coaching and prompting allowed me to look deep inside&lt;br /&gt;myself, and allowed me to understand for the first time in my life the true&lt;br /&gt;nature of who I am, our connectedness to one another and Mother Earth and the&lt;br /&gt;universe, and my spiritual potential.  It has been a life changing experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patty Marcauso&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well first I learned acceptance-of myself my past, my family. Next-to let go of&lt;br /&gt;issues that have burdened me.  Also, I realized of my deep, strong connection&lt;br /&gt;with Mother earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found answers to life-long questions.  The truth was revealed and I welcomed&lt;br /&gt;it.  The truth set me free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My spirituality deepened humbly.  As in the medicine wheel-I felt a loving warm&lt;br /&gt;embrace From Mother Earth.  I learned that by experiencing the embrace-I can&lt;br /&gt;enhance life, i.e. people, plants, animals-all of life and love deeply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I came wanting peace and I rediscovered the peace, love and joy within me-in me&lt;br /&gt;because I am the creation of the Creator.  I am peace because that is what the&lt;br /&gt;Creator imagined into creating.  I am fulfilling the Creator's desire and am&lt;br /&gt;humbled by the notion that I can even dare to please God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike and Wendi C.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had the best experience we could have asked for.  Everyone we met at&lt;br /&gt;SpiritQuest exceeded our expectations.  This was more than a spiritual journey&lt;br /&gt;for us.  We needed individual healing, and we needed the tools to rebuild our&lt;br /&gt;relationship.  We received everything we needed.  We are each stronger and more&lt;br /&gt;clear than every before.  Our relationship has a strong foundation, and we???re&lt;br /&gt;looking forward to a long, happy future together.  We're so glad we chose&lt;br /&gt;SpiritQuest over traditional marriage counseling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will be forever grateful for our friends at SpiritQuest.  Andwe'll be back&lt;br /&gt;to Sedona with our son Evan (hopefully this Thanksgiving or Christmas).  We&lt;br /&gt;really want to implement what we've learned and are committed to it!  Thanks&lt;br /&gt;for the genuineness, expertise, and love and caring!  Your family rocks!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mary Kehoe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for my SpiritQuest weekend.  Though short in duration, I returned&lt;br /&gt;home feeling more relaxed and re-energized than I ever have before.  Seeking&lt;br /&gt;and making this time for myself was very eye opening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the practitioners were excellent-highly skilled, intuitive and thorough.&lt;br /&gt;Had I more time, I would have enjoyed spending more time with each of them,&lt;br /&gt;honing the skills they shared with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jacqueline Vacchio&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learned about the power in being spiritually supported. There's nothing else&lt;br /&gt;like it.  When our behaviors, actions and choices are in alignment with&lt;br /&gt;Spirit-anything is possible. BUT, in order for that success to occur, the&lt;br /&gt;presence of like-minded people is essential.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I made a life changing decision within the 3 short days that I was there.  I&lt;br /&gt;don't yet know the impact that will have on my life, but I immediately felt the&lt;br /&gt;benefits it had on my heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I loved my sessions-all of them.  Each one was exceptionally valuable in&lt;br /&gt;different ways.  However, I found that my time with Joseph was extraordinary&lt;br /&gt;and mystical.  Powerful, weird, effective, and something that remains with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that I was served in the best possible ways.  Each practitioner spent&lt;br /&gt;more than the allotted time with me, and made me wish that I could become a&lt;br /&gt;more integrated part of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sharon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was one common theme that constantly resonated within me throughout my&lt;br /&gt;entire SpiritQuest journey:&amp;nbsp; NAMASTE-I honor the place in you that is the same&lt;br /&gt;in me.  I honor the place in you of love, of light, of peace and of truth.&lt;br /&gt;There is but one-NAMASTE.&amp;nbsp; My time here has truly become the beginning of my&lt;br /&gt;life-one filled with unconditional love and limitless light.  I have learned so&lt;br /&gt;many valuable tools from everyone I have met and words will never be able to&lt;br /&gt;express how grateful I am to each and every one of you.  I feel blessed to have&lt;br /&gt;shared time with such wonderful people in the beautiful land of Sedona.  I feel&lt;br /&gt;the love, light, peace and truth within me.  I honor the same in everyone at&lt;br /&gt;SpiritQuest.  And I feel connected as one with my new family of friends.  Thank&lt;br /&gt;you all for everything that you do.  Thank you for sharing your light and&lt;br /&gt;healing energy with me.  Thank you for helping me remember to feel my glow.&lt;br /&gt;NAMASTE (heart, sun, peace sign symbols)  Sharon A. Washington DC&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anne Jackson H&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next time I come it will be for a week.  The two days was a bit quick paced for&lt;br /&gt;me.  That might have just been because my energy was so low.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How my life has changed:  continue to use tools I learned in Sedona.&lt;br /&gt;Especially the journal Kirah suggested.  I continue to learn from my&lt;br /&gt;experiences in Sedona.  August 12th there was another death in my family.  It&lt;br /&gt;was not a crippling because my power, energy has grown strong.  I am done&lt;br /&gt;mourning the loss of my ex.  I am done grieving for my children's father.  I&lt;br /&gt;love and approve of myself and put myself first now.  Never done this before!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am bringing my children to Sedona when they can get time off from work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will see me again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica - Kew Gardens NY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This experience was definitely life changing.  I felt like I was SpiritQuest's&lt;br /&gt;only client and every single practitioner focused only on me and my growth.  I&lt;br /&gt;felt a shift starting to happen during the welcome ceremony on Friday, and on&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday the floodgates opened up and I couldn't stop crying!  It was strange&lt;br /&gt;for me because I am not a weeper.  But I realized how much my body had stored&lt;br /&gt;and it was finally releasing.  I feel I need to mention each practitioner by&lt;br /&gt;name;  Barbara, Lara, Adele,  Laura, Divyo, Terra, Miguel, Rhea, Joseph, Skip&lt;br /&gt;and Kirah all worked so hard to get me to realize I had created my own&lt;br /&gt;experiences, and that I have the power to change old patterns and continue&lt;br /&gt;creating the kind of experiences that I want to participate in.  This week was&lt;br /&gt;the most empowering and cleansing week of my life.  I feel exhausted, but I&lt;br /&gt;also feel so much more positive.  I have a new lease on life!  I'm returning&lt;br /&gt;home eager and excited to apply what I've learned here.  I cannot adequately&lt;br /&gt;express with words how grateful I am to have been given the privilege to work&lt;br /&gt;with these amazing practitioners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cassandra Clausson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow.  Did you know I initially tried to get out of coming to Sedona?  But your&lt;br /&gt;site kept coming up, and I took that as a sign, so I traveled from London to&lt;br /&gt;Sedona.  Where to begin...That's difficult actually because so much&lt;br /&gt;happened.  What I will start off with is this.  ALL the practitioners were&lt;br /&gt;amazing in their own way.  ALL the practitioners were deeply committed to the&lt;br /&gt;healing and affirming process. They gave of themselves, unselfishly and&lt;br /&gt;willingly and with their knowledge guided me on the most amazing journey of my&lt;br /&gt;life.  I made a few friendships as well, with Joseph and his partner,&lt;br /&gt;and with Lara.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But back to the SpiritQuest...it started slowly this unfolding of&lt;br /&gt;sorts, one session quietly leading to the next, one layer of myself being peeled&lt;br /&gt;away for each and every moment, until I found myself as I had once been, many&lt;br /&gt;years ago, before my crazy life took over.  I was experiencing the authentic me&lt;br /&gt;as I knew me, when I was 14 years old. It was so powerful that I felt my entire&lt;br /&gt;being vibrating with this energy that felt as if it were radiating from me like&lt;br /&gt;nothing I had ever experienced.  And instead of feeling as if I were flying, it&lt;br /&gt;felt as if I was deeply grounded, both to the earth, and to myself as I truly&lt;br /&gt;am.  I met my spiritual guides that I knew deep inside myself had always&lt;br /&gt;existed, and felt that these guides had led me to Sedona.  They, and your&lt;br /&gt;practitioners also taught me a lot about what it means to be truly authentic,&lt;br /&gt;and how that actually felt. Well, it felt amazing actually.  Your&lt;br /&gt;practitioners, inclusive of both you and Ed, made me feel so welcome, so&lt;br /&gt;accepted, so loved, so safe and so happy.  I don't think I had ever felt this&lt;br /&gt;level of acceptance in my life before.  And in feeling this, it then gave me&lt;br /&gt;this tremendous access to my own power and confidence which just blossomed for&lt;br /&gt;every day.  I found I didn't need my sleeping pills, I slept like a log.  I&lt;br /&gt;didn't need a glass of wine.   I wanted instead to be totally present within&lt;br /&gt;myself, and that actually felt good, thanks to all of you.  This spiritual&lt;br /&gt;journey actually changed my life.  I felt transformed. Completely.  And then I&lt;br /&gt;went back to London as my authentic self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That brought about its own challenges which I am now dealing with, which is why&lt;br /&gt;it has taken me ages to write.  I had been traveling all summer, and only feel&lt;br /&gt;as if I have processed this journey to actually write about it, because, for&lt;br /&gt;the longest time, I was in a state of bliss really just enjoying the effects of&lt;br /&gt;my journey but not actually determining exactly what happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SpiritQuest gave me the confidence to do what I have wanted to do for&lt;br /&gt;years...more of that another time, but I am now in the process of something and&lt;br /&gt;using what I learned at SpiritQuest to help me. And believe me, it is!&lt;br /&gt;SpiritQuest gave me such feelings of intense joy.  The joy one experiences in&lt;br /&gt;being in the moment with the divine.  It felt as if each moment gave me&lt;br /&gt;something precious, which led to the next moment, equally as precious.  It&lt;br /&gt;felt, and I still feel, that I am the drop that falls into the still pond, and&lt;br /&gt;from that drop develop concentric rings, which transcend outward into the&lt;br /&gt;universe.  And that drop, that one little drop, is so important, because what&lt;br /&gt;you are then as you fall into the stillness of the pond, will determine what&lt;br /&gt;you send out into the world, and what will vibrate in the universe.  That drop&lt;br /&gt;defines you then, and for the future as well, which is why I am so conscious&lt;br /&gt;now of that one little drop each day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How I live, how I CHOOSE to live and what that means, not only for me, but for&lt;br /&gt;everyone.  My interconnectedness to the universe has become so sacred to me&lt;br /&gt;now.  It is what I give to the world each day and SpiritQuest taught me, that&lt;br /&gt;being myself, my authentic self, my happy self, is the best thing I can do both&lt;br /&gt;for me, and the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So these new principles are principles I am trying to live by, thanks to you.&lt;br /&gt;I am eternally grateful to you both, and to your team of healers. You have&lt;br /&gt;collected such wonderful people to help you in these retreats.  I felt that&lt;br /&gt;Sedona had and has become my spiritual home.  One day I will be back, and one&lt;br /&gt;day I will hope to see you all again.  You have all changed my life, truly. And&lt;br /&gt;for that I will always be grateful.  My deepest thanks, and blessings to you&lt;br /&gt;all.  With love, Cassandra (casi)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not sure I know yet how this experience impacted me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do know it helped me transition-and that was exactly what I wanted to do and&lt;br /&gt;what I was ready to experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I wanted to feel good about who I was and what I could do. I didn't want&lt;br /&gt;to feel compromised or judged any longer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This SpiritQuest was medicinal and healing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am amazed and appreciative of how each and every step was a foundation for&lt;br /&gt;the next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am indebted to those who are open and willing to help me (help myself).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to come back.  I want to be more.  I want to become.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of all I want to Love again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was only able to explain the transformation in pictures. One is before I came&lt;br /&gt;to Sedona.  The other is after.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only in time will I be able to see the impact.  But I do know I was able to&lt;br /&gt;shed the harsh, the negative, the purgatory demons that were holding me down,&lt;br /&gt;holding me back.  I feel free. I feel me. I feel beautiful. And I feel loved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please know my words of gratitude cannot describe how I feel inside.  You&lt;br /&gt;changed my life and provided a beautiful and cherished gift which I will always&lt;br /&gt;remember and I will now build upon for my future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jannel Hockey and Dillon Johnstone  - Canada&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SpiritQuest did a great job at setting the foundations I need in order to&lt;br /&gt;connect with myself.  I will take these lessons home and put them into effect,&lt;br /&gt;if I do it properly I will have a fulfilled life.  I'm unable to select a&lt;br /&gt;favorite, they were all so good and so unique in their own ways.  We're both so&lt;br /&gt;excited to put our new beliefs into action, and to share our experiences with&lt;br /&gt;friends and family!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nadia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As someone who tends to be a science nerd,  (said with pride) during most days,&lt;br /&gt;I was a bit nervous about both the New Age and experiential component-primarily&lt;br /&gt;because I worried that both might equal unboundaried or had their own&lt;br /&gt;agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My concerns were groundless. While the practitioners challenged me on multiple&lt;br /&gt;levels, it was thoughtful, respectful, kind and loving.  This allowed me to&lt;br /&gt;take personal risks that helped me shift and start letting go of much baggage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also appreciated Kelly for being a compassionate direct person who was&lt;br /&gt;helpful personally and a good model for setting loving boundaries with the&lt;br /&gt;people in your life.  The experiential work was particularly good for someone&lt;br /&gt;like me who is analytical and cerebral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My life changed abruptly during the retreat and the retreat gave me tools to&lt;br /&gt;deal with it.  More sense of wholeness, safety, value, peace of mind and&lt;br /&gt;feeling like its all good and right even when it doesn't seem like it.  How&lt;br /&gt;to balance?  How to feel everything and just let it go so I can come back to my&lt;br /&gt;own core, breath, and energy.  Letting go and letting things shift in their own&lt;br /&gt;time and fashion is much easier-and surprisingly, works much better ((-:  thank&lt;br /&gt;you. Thank you again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aimee Macedo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My overall experience exceeded all of my expectations. I truly say this with&lt;br /&gt;sincerity and honesty.  All of the practitioners were so welcoming and&lt;br /&gt;beautiful in their own way.  I instantly felt welcomed and completely safe to&lt;br /&gt;allow all my vulnerabilities to come through.  I feel so blessed to have had&lt;br /&gt;the opportunity to come to Sedona and do this retreat.  Sedona, in itself, is&lt;br /&gt;such a remarkable place.  This has been a unforgettable experience and it will&lt;br /&gt;stay in my heart forever.  This journey is just the beginning of a new way of&lt;br /&gt;life and I will now dedicate time for myself on a regular basis.  I have&lt;br /&gt;learned so much within a four-day period and was exposed to new and wonderful&lt;br /&gt;things.   Breath work, chakra energy, family constellation and the medicine&lt;br /&gt;wheel were new experiences for me and I'm so glad I did those sessions.  I'm a&lt;br /&gt;believer that knowledge is power and now I am able to pass it on to people who&lt;br /&gt;cross my path in life.  I truly feel like a better person and have so much&lt;br /&gt;gratitude for all  the practitioners who were involved in my journey.  Many&lt;br /&gt;blessings to you all and hope to see you all soon.  Come visit Toronto anytime,&lt;br /&gt;and I will be honoured to show you around.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name says it all! SpiritQuest.  I had already developed a base of&lt;br /&gt;recapturing my soul and heart, But SpiritQuest took me all the way in.  Every&lt;br /&gt;session had its own unique component, but they all worked in harmony with each&lt;br /&gt;other.  They are building blocks to a complete you. Tiffany helped me see all&lt;br /&gt;the fragments of my soul, and collect back that which I had given away.  Jahsah&lt;br /&gt;gently brought me to a point of integration, and nurtured me with healing&lt;br /&gt;touch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SpiritQuest is all about re-establishing connection with all of the parts of&lt;br /&gt;you, and connecting with nature and spirit.  I am now in a place of loving&lt;br /&gt;myself, trusting myself, forgiving myself. I have released those things which&lt;br /&gt;no longer serve me.  I have been brought into a place of remembrance, and am&lt;br /&gt;traveling towards my Personal Legend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SpiritQuest is a journey, and it couldn't be in better hands than that of your&lt;br /&gt;guides- Kat and Ed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adriana&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My experience can be summed up with these words:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My soul is no longer cold, now my day in the sun has come and I see beauty&lt;br /&gt;around me and most importantly, I see beauty within me!!  Thank you!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was the best gift I could have given myself! Happy Birthday on Oct. 8th,&lt;br /&gt;2009. (32nd Birthday, yeah!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I came to SpiritQuest I was struggling with being alone and associating&lt;br /&gt;that with not being loved. Being broken up with my ex-boyfriend of 2 years for&lt;br /&gt;about a month but still struggling with feeling so sad and upset I came to&lt;br /&gt;SpiritQuest to have a breakthrough around love, and have freedom from fear and&lt;br /&gt;doubt. It was an amazing experience that opened my eyes to so many things about&lt;br /&gt;myself and so many ways that I had been limiting myself, and lonely, it is not&lt;br /&gt;true, I am never alone. I always have God/Universe, the Earth (mother earth&lt;br /&gt;father sky) and my Higher Self.  Just knowing this and being present to&lt;br /&gt;it/aware gives me so much power and peace it instantly disappears my victim/old&lt;br /&gt;habits, thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks SpiritQuest and all their inspirational teachers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am unconditional LOVE! I have lots of new tools to practice that support me&lt;br /&gt;on my journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peter Martin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learned how to tap into the energy of the earth and Universe and I felt my&lt;br /&gt;heart being opened up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew I needed to have more fun, laugh and sing. A lot of sessions reinforced&lt;br /&gt;what I already knew. It was good to have that positve reinforcement. I enjoyed&lt;br /&gt;drawing my picture of my happy place that I can use to get in touch with my&lt;br /&gt;inner little boy. I haven't used crayons for a long time!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I liked the circle integration, I learned my son needs me and I need him to&lt;br /&gt;believe in myself and others as well, plus gratitude.  I also liked the animals&lt;br /&gt;that showed up in my circle; cougar, 2 horses, they describe me pretty well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rhea did a great job of beginning and closing my retreat sessions, I feel like&lt;br /&gt;she quickly understood me and my personality.  My life has started to change&lt;br /&gt;already by accepting things as they are and not getting upset and assigning&lt;br /&gt;blame.  For example my seconds hotel where I accidentally broke the glass end&lt;br /&gt;of a curtain rail, I just accepted it and got about the business of cleaning up&lt;br /&gt;the mess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it could have been better by having me complete a questionnaire&lt;br /&gt;initially so I didn't have to answer the same question, so what is going on? to&lt;br /&gt;4 different therapists.  Overall I really enjoyed the experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was an incredible experience.  I have learned not to be afraid of my&lt;br /&gt;emotions even when they are unpleasant.  I now know that I need to listen to&lt;br /&gt;the emotions and feelings that I get and trust that they will point me in the&lt;br /&gt;right direction.  Loving myself and believing in myself and knowing that my&lt;br /&gt;spirit knows what is true are important lessons I have learned.  I experienced&lt;br /&gt;a release of some deep emotions and learned that I don't have to get trapped in&lt;br /&gt;the unpleasant emotions.  Connection to my spirit allows me to feel loved,&lt;br /&gt;safe, and part of something so wonderful. The Sedona land helped me to connect&lt;br /&gt;to my spirit and feel one with everything.  Meeting and working with all the&lt;br /&gt;wonderful, spiritual people was so inspiring and has made me realize that it is&lt;br /&gt;possible for me to move beyond my past trauma, anxieties and fears, and expand&lt;br /&gt;my spiritual side.  Although some sessions I found better than others, they al&lt;br /&gt;played a role in my journey and each one had messages and learnings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together they all led to a better understanding of myself, new beliefs, and a&lt;br /&gt;strong sense of direction for the path I must take to feel good about my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you SpiritQuest!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we pack our bags and prepare to head back home we feel our hearts free and&lt;br /&gt;open. Knowing that each and every experience in Sedona has only begun to&lt;br /&gt;manifest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moment we arrived, pulled up to Steve and Heidi's and saw the beautiful red&lt;br /&gt;rock heart propped in the yard, welcoming us, we felt our hearts open.  Each&lt;br /&gt;experience, so uniquely rich, filled, opened, invited and held us as we&lt;br /&gt;journeyed deep into ourselves and our relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for your true intuition, knowing exactly who to connect us with as we&lt;br /&gt;followed the energy on this magical journey. Ed and Katherine you are skilled&lt;br /&gt;facilitators surrounded by many other skilled facilitators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nancy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was such a mess when I called you.  I felt such pain, loss and frustration.&lt;br /&gt;Learning about the chakra points, meditation, and Tai Chi were amazing and&lt;br /&gt;profoundly affected my future.  I have learned that I must take time for fun,&lt;br /&gt;to take care of myself physically and spiritually to deflect the stressors of&lt;br /&gt;my life.  I have learned to set boundaries with those around me.  I have&lt;br /&gt;learned to forgive myself and others.  I have learned to love myself and trust&lt;br /&gt;that I am a strong woman ready to take on the world and help others.  I've&lt;br /&gt;formed a deeper spirituality than I thought I had and have reframed my thinking&lt;br /&gt;about my past and future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you so much for your patience, kindness, love and knowledge.  Your staff&lt;br /&gt;is wonderful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for this morning. God has blessed me with an abundance of Grace and&lt;br /&gt;Glory.  The sun is warm on me as it rises amongst beautiful red rocks with a&lt;br /&gt;chilling wind surrounding me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The streams, waterfalls glimmering golden leaves, birds and deer have brought&lt;br /&gt;such joy.  I will return to breathe in this land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This whole experience was one that I will always treasure.  I was right here at&lt;br /&gt;the right place, right time, and doing the right thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The events I went through were done in the order that expanded inside me.&lt;br /&gt;I learned to trust my intuition more and also, most importantly, listen to my&lt;br /&gt;own needs.  In trusting that intuition to listen, it helps me to be filling my&lt;br /&gt;tank when I need it.  My feeling is that all our tanks need to be full and&lt;br /&gt;overflowing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This certainly makes me believe that change can be good and we can always&lt;br /&gt;strive to be better.  That is within us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will never forget this group of people.  I was healed and loved and now I&lt;br /&gt;know that I CAN.  I love everyone in this group and mostly  I love how my life&lt;br /&gt;is going-in the right direction in the light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Words can't express al the wonderful things I have experienced during the last&lt;br /&gt;seven days.  Each session seemed in perfect order, one built on the other.  I&lt;br /&gt;loved the fact that none of them had any other than me, very few looked at&lt;br /&gt;their clocks, they had nothing to sell me other than sharing their knowledge,&lt;br /&gt;what a wonderful gift that was.  None of them cared where I worked, what kind&lt;br /&gt;of car I drove, or how I looked.  They looked at my soul, mind and heart, that&lt;br /&gt;was truly what it was all about.  I realized a lot about myself.  I think I&lt;br /&gt;have had it in me all along just didn't know how to channel it correctly but&lt;br /&gt;now I do.  I feel like I have been given many gifts-each session sent me home&lt;br /&gt;with a gift that is in my heart and it has value only to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could write a book about my experience in Sedona all which was captured in my&lt;br /&gt;heart.  I can't thank you enough for opening my mind, heart and spirit in a way&lt;br /&gt;that will last forever.  One of the best things I've ever done for myself.  I&lt;br /&gt;do plan on returning yearly to build on what I have learned.  Watch me grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you ready to heal your heart, expand your consciousness, and start living your best life!

It's the idea&lt;br /&gt;of leaving the pavement that makes us unsure. It's the twist in the road&lt;br /&gt;that compels us to turn back. But when we trust and when we live for adventure&lt;br /&gt;the road becomes a glorious expedition into an expansion beyond our wildest&lt;br /&gt;dreams!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is...Look underfoot.&lt;br /&gt;You are always nearer the divine and the true sources of your power than you&lt;br /&gt;think."&amp;nbsp; - John Burroughs (1887-1921)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1526071761572006738-6996934047830234407?l=spiritquest1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spiritquest1.blogspot.com/feeds/6996934047830234407/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://spiritquest1.blogspot.com/2011/12/welcome-to-spiritquest-sedona-retreats.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526071761572006738/posts/default/6996934047830234407'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1526071761572006738/posts/default/6996934047830234407'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spiritquest1.blogspot.com/2011/12/welcome-to-spiritquest-sedona-retreats.html' title='Welcome To SpiritQuest Sedona Retreats!'/><author><name>SpiritQuest Sedona Retreats</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16010622611407713652</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KYWHTcMwVcM/TwSi3V5pSQI/AAAAAAAAAT8/447AKOrXPN8/s220/branding_med1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
