The group gathers on a wind-scrubbed spur of red rock as the sun tilts low, and Sedona’s cliffs seem to lean in to listen. Breath fogs in the cool morning air; prayer wheels whisper when fingers set them spinning. In this two-hour experience, a guide moves a small circle of travelers between three sacred sites—Buddhist stupas and a Native American medicine wheel—teaching chants, mudras, and simple rites that are meant to open attention, steady the heart, and give tools for a daily spiritual practice.
