Practices

Now more than ever as you journey through these turbulent times you need to fill your soul with love and light, and there is no place better than in your scared earthscape. Connecting back to the quiet spaces of mother earth and disconnecting from the chaos that surrounds your urban centers, allows you to draw from the strength and beauty of the natural world. Based in beautiful Page, Arizona, on the shores of Lake Powell, this Monumental Meditation program includes exploration of mystical slot canyons, majestic viewpoints, and lush water oasis.

We are excited to offer a retreat that focuses on health, well-being, and mindfulness. We will celebrate the beauty and power to heal within. Awe-inspiring nature awaits! Activities and classes are tailored for each group based on intention and experience. Includes private workshop instructors for all classes and adventure tours with area partners and indicated meals. The weekend retreat begins on Friday noon through Sunday noon. We have partnered with the Grand Circle Ranch to provide rooms and meeting space for gatherings.

Healing in Nature

Through the isolation of the past two years, more studies have shown the healing effects of just being in nature. You need time to reconnect to wide-open spaces. Northern Arizona and Southern Utah abound in places of solitude. You will quietly and mindfully explore the areas' famous slot canyons, Horseshoe Bend, and navigate the waters of Lake Powell. Mother Earth will provide the backdrop for relaxing breath and meditation, gentle mindful hikes, and quiet exploration. A reawakening of the mind-body connection.

Breath and the Mind-Body Connection

Breath, it sounds so simple, you all do it without giving it a thought, but there are many ways to breathe. From Dr. Andrew Weil and John Cabot-Zinn to Buddha, along with other teachers, have shared their sacred understanding of the importance of breath in your health. Your journey will offer reminders and techniques to breathe, enhancing the body-mind connection.

Relaxation and Meditation Practices

We begin with sunrise gratitude ceremonies each morning and sunset meditation, reminding you to celebrate each and every day. The easy-to-moderate hikes focus on mindfulness as we gently explore the elements of our surroundings. In the stillness, listening to the wind as it sweeps through the canyons, hearing birds adrift on the thermals, insects singing, falling pebbles, your breath. We will bring flutes and drums as part of your sound healing program to enhance the mind-body connection.

Sound Healing

Mark is our Reiki Master/Teacher and sound healing guide as part of your journey. This ancient art of sound healing is supported by scientific research. The tone and vibration of instruments can stimulate various parts of the brain. The mind-body connection through sound healing is an integral part of your journey.

Gentle Stretch and Restorative Yoga

Yoga can sometimes be a scary word for new students. However, stretching, and restorative yoga practices help the mind-body connection. Our yoga practice celebrates a gentle morning stretch and after our adventures, we will enjoy gentle restorative relaxation. For those more advanced students, opportunities are available for more traditional yoga practices.

Evening Astronomy

Join us for a journey through unique dark sky heavens at night, explore the constellations, and experience the awe of a new moon Milky Way. Truly otherworldly.
