Sunday, March 28th Airport Vortex (Easy – Medium Hike)
After our daily morning rituals, we will all meet at the lobby and travel together to the Masculine Energy Mountain, the Airport Vortex, for our daily hike, yoga and meditation. Before beginning our hike this day we will have a 30 minute yoga stretch, followed by a 20 minute meditation, focusing on strengthening our Masculine Energy. Apparently, the energy in this vortex will assist us in strengthening our masculine side. People who have strong masculine sides are self confident. They have internal strength to take charge of their own lives too, and to claim their rights in life. This makes them good at standing up to people who try to take their power away by force, intimidation or manipulation.
Monday, March 29th – Cathedral Rock Hike (Med. – Difficult Hike)
After breakfast, we will all meet at the parking lot at 9:00am, and drive to the base of Cathedral Rock to begin our hike. The Feminine Energy of this vortex is credited with strengthen those things normally thought of as being feminine, such as kindness, compassion and patience. At the base of the mountain you will have the opportunity to take part in a 20-minute yoga stretch, followed by a guided meditation, designed to help heal and balance your Feminine energy. We will then attempt to climb to the top of this mountain. Those members who feel that they are unable to reach the top, can choose a beautiful spot for some silent inward reflection, and pictures where ever they wish. As the energy of this amazing mountain can be felt anywhere around its base as well.
Tuesday, March 30th - Boyton Canyon Hike (Easy to Medium hike)
Optional Golfing at Poco Diablo Resort, for those members interested in Golfing. The cost for this activity is just $15u.s. Clubs are also available to rent for an additional $5u.s.
Those members that did not go golfing, are welcome to join us pool side for a morning water yoga stretch in the pool.
After our morning rituals and those members that went golfing have returned, we will venture out to the Boynton Canyon for an incredible Hike! The energy vortex in this Canyon is said to strengthen the masculine/feminine or yin/yang balance. This balance is almost as important as growth itself. Emotions are a good indication of this balance. For example, if you feel anger more easily than fear, your masculine side is stronger. Having a good masculine/feminine balance also helps relationships work well, such as intimacy, commitment, honesty and openness. We will do guided meditation in this energy vortex to call upon our animal spirit guides for direct guidance and insight.
Wednesday, March 31st – Grand Canyon – Easy Walk, Go at your own pace!
Full Day at the Grand Canyon! We will plan to leave right after breakfast (8:00 a.m.) for our 2-hour drive to the Grand Canyon. We will spend the day at the south rim.

There is a snack bar at this end of the canyon if you would like to get something to eat before heading back to Sedona. This will be a long day, so pack lots of snacks, sunscreen, and walking sticks if necessary. We will then head back to our hotel for an evening hot tub!
Thursday, April 1st - Bell Rock Vortex (Easy to Medium Hike)
