The Founder of Sedona Creative Life Center

Shirley Caris 4/28/1936 - 1/17/2003 Founder of Sedona Creative Life Center
Shirley Caris, beloved founder of Sedona Creative Life Center, no longer walks among us. Her death on January 17, 2003 was sudden and unexpected. Shirley was born in Detroit, Michigan. She attended Michigan State and Wayne State University majoring in Business and Fine Arts. She moved with her family to Paradise Valley, Arizona in 1968, where she co-founded a successful electronics manufacturing company. In 1986, she moved to Sedona and developed the Hillside Sedona Courtyard and Marketplace, setting a precedent for environmental sensitivity in retail projects. She was an active member of the Sedona arts community and served on the board for the Sedona Cultural Park. Fulfilling a lifelong dream in 2000, she established Sedona Creative Life Center as a non-profit organization, to provide an uplifting and nourishing environment for spiritually enhancing programs and personal creative growth. As a result of Shirley's unique vision and the help of dedicated individuals, the Center has achieved worldwide acclaim. As Shirley always said, "Now I get to decide how to express the last third of my life. Now it’s time to share and give back ...that’s what Sedona Creative Life Center is all about. Shirley knew that everything in her life had led her to this dream, her soul purpose. And she has made it a reality.
