Spend a day in Sedona moving from guided meditation to intention-setting at the Amitabha Stupa. This private, six-hour retreat blends practical mindfulness techniques with quiet outdoor integration at one of Sedona’s spiritual landmarks.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive under the blunt geometry of red sandstone, the rocks catching the late-morning sun and throwing heat back like a patient, watchful neighbor. A short drive from downtown Sedona delivers you to a quiet retreat home where the day's rhythm is deliberately slow: a welcome, a cup of tea, and an open invitation to sit still. For six hours the world narrows to breath, guided prompts, and the soft scrape of shoes on a garden path as the facilitator leads you through practices designed to calm judgment and open attention.
