Sound Meditation Weekend Retreat
Sedona, Arizona February 14 - 17, 2025
We invite you to experience the magic of Sedona..
Experience the serenity of the high desert, energy vortexes, and breathtaking natural beauty of this magical landscape. Reconnect and attune to the harmony found within the body - mind & soul’s connection through the transformative power of sound.
Centered around the extended sound meditation ceremony, the weekend will be an opportunity to unplug from our rapidly fast paced lives to be held in the tranquility of nature and strengthen connection and attunment with the Self. Leave feeling lighter, rejuvenated, grounded and connected to the essence of who you are - that is love - that is joy - that is freedom.

Dana Lowry, Meditation Teacher, Los Angeles, CA
Greg & Michelle have created something truly sacred. The support, safety of the container, and magnificent sound ability come together in such a beautiful cohesive way. Since the retreat I have felt more in tune with myself and have been vibrating at a frequency of self-love that I had not accessed before. What set this retreat apart from others was how grounded, communicative, and talented Greg and Michelle are. The community and the people they attract are wonderful and I felt like I found a tribe I was looking for.
Chris Pearson-Smith, Dana Point, CA
Michelle holds absolutely impeccable space, embodying and practicing the truths and beliefs we are there to be reminded of and to discover for ourselves. Unity consciousness, unconditional love, personal responsibility (anti-“victim” mindset), humility, and joy! The DEPTH of feminine love is felt and witnessed and received with so much gratitude. Thank you for reminding me both how to let go/trust and how to love myself. During the retreat I was reminded that each moment is specifically, fully, profoundly designed for us to experience in its entirety. After the retreat I still felt the waves of grief, a natural response to the horrible events in the Middle East, but with a deep sense of understanding and acceptance for the divine teacher who is presenting these experiences to me to receive and bring love to. The most important insight was the lived experience of unity consciousness, that we are truly all One thing. One organism. One humanity. One conscious “being.” While we don’t “need” each other in order to be “okay” or enough or accepted or…fill in the blank…we are radically self-reliant..In another sense, we actually profoundly need each other in a beautiful harmonic interdependence.
