Vortex Quest Itinerary

Day One: Airport Vortex

Thursday, October 7, 2010: You will be arriving in Sedona prior to our first of many beautiful sunset experiences. The dazzling red rocks will come to life reflecting and retracting a light show beyond your wildest dreams and your personal transformation will have just begun. You may rent a car or take the shuttle from the airport.

We suggest that you make your own arrangements for lodging at the Sky Range Lodge which is located high atop Airport Vortex. You will have a breathtaking overlook vista of the red rock formations that come to life during sunrise and sunset. You will be high above Sedona for your added relaxation and times of quiet reflection. You will also be greeted by beautiful gardens, a pool and hot tub for you to also enjoy as you reflect on your journeys. We will meet for dinner after you have been able to settle into your accommodations at 6 pm where we will begin to share our stories with one another. Please be advised that you will be living at 4000 plus feet above sea level. You will need to increase your water intake to one gallon or more daily, due to the heat, elevation and desert conditions. You will also be hiking on trails so please dress and wear the appropriate boot wear and clothing.

Day 2: Cathedral Rock Vortex

Friday, October 8, 2010: We will start our first of many days at the Sedona Creative Life Center with a magnificent view of the sacred Sedona red rocks. The center is a beautiful space for meditation and wisdom sharing. We will begin today with an opening ritual of our circle. We will be sending blessings to all of Creation, to the sacredness of our Circle and to our journey into the psycho-spiritual, emotional and physical connections of ourselves and Mother Earth. You will be given a gift this morning from the circle's altar to bring with you to each vortex.

Today we will embark on our first exploration of what a vortex is, how it is formed, how to find one, how to recognize and how to receive its energy. You will also commence on rediscovering the vortex within you and how a vortex can interface with your own growth and spiritual enhancement.

We will be spending from 10am-12pm at the center, breaking for lunch and relaxation until 2:30pm at which time we will meet and go to Cathedral Rock at Moon Crescent Ranch to begin your first vortex experience. Cathedral Rock is a wonderland of beauty. You will be walking beside Oak Creek which helped to form Oak Creek Canyon. The waters of Oak Creek are said to hold healing powers as do each of the power points. You will be opening up to new vistas and going deeply within as you spend time among the red rocks using techniques taught to you, some that you brought with you and new ones shared on the rocks. There will be plenty of time for wandering through the woods and reflecting by the creek under the shadow of Cathedral Rock's majesty. For the brave of heart you may also dip into the cold waters of Oak Creek for an adventure you will not soon forget or an astonishing basking in the radiant warmth of the Sun's glow. We will also listen to a tale or two to deepen and enhance your reflection time here at Cathedral Rock Vortex. Sunset will bring you to a new understanding of yourself and your feminine side. We will be staying at Cathedral Rock until after sunset so that you will be able to experience vortex energy at its strongest point, that of sunset, the other at sunrise.

Day 3: Airport Vortex

Saturday, October 9, 2010: We will meet again at the Center from 10am-12pm. Today we will explore the masculine side of our energy. We will discuss the chakra system and how our energy fields can merge with vortex energy. We will also explore the healing power of the Native American Medicine Wheel and how we can use them to assist in our healing process to attain our fullest potential.

We will again break at noon for lunch, shopping or relaxation. We will leave for Airport Vortex at 3 pm.  Airport Vortex will allow you to explore your masculine side. We will be there again until after sunset. There are two points to climb at this vortex which may be physically challenging for some of you. Your guides know the area well and we will take it slow and easy for your comfort, staying on the paths provided. The view and experience promises to be one that will live in your heart and soul for all eternity. We will be using our morning teachings to enhance our time at this vortex. Each and every vortex is a new experience and each time you are blessed with its energy your life is changed. You will be able to see and feel the energy at this point and view numerous other vortex sites from this advantage point.

Day 4: Boynton Canyon Vortex

Sunday, October 10, 2010: We will meet again at the Center from 10am-12pm. Today our meeting at the center will be a merging and balancing of our masculine and feminine sides. This will be accomplished in many ways: through story, meditation and by our visit to Boynton Canyon Vortex, also known as Kachina Woman.  We will again break at noon for lunch, shopping or relaxation. We will get back together at 2:30pm today for our trip out to Boynton Canyon. This is the most difficult trek you will undertake with us. The steady uphill climb will bring you to a place of wonder, awe and freedom. We will sit high atop the rocks overlooking the valley of the soul, where the ancient shaman's walk after their journey to the other side. This vortex will bring your masculine and feminine into a place of balance.  Boynton Canyon is also a sacred valley where ancient Native American energy roams free. Kachina Woman will bring you to a place of solitude, spiritual growth and harmony. We will be spending time together and in personal reflection, meditation, introspection and a time for rebirthing work. You may have the added delight of seeing wild life roaming down in the valley amongst the trees and the natural beauty.

Day 5: Bell Rock Vortex

Monday, October 11, 2010: Today we will meet once again for a final visit to the Center. Our morning will begin with a meditation and a tale of adventure. We will explore how vortex energy can be taken home with us and how it lives within each and every one of us and all of Creation. We will visit our last vortex today at 2:30pm, that of Bell Rock.  You will remember that Bell Rock welcomed you to your Quest earlier this week and at Airport Vortex.  Today you will explore the energy of Bell Rock which is very powerful and strengthens all three parts: the masculine side, the feminine side and the balance. We will again spend sunset at Bell Rock.  It is our hope that you will have found balance in your life and that your journey upon this womyn quest will enrich you now and forever.
