Women's Energy and Renewal Retreat
Postponed until fall 2026
Retreat SCHEDULE
LOCATION:
Sedona, Arizona
Join Sally Drake for an unforgettable experience in the heart of magical Sedona—where adventure, connection, and deep restoration come together in one extraordinary women’s retreat.
This retreat is designed for women of all fitness levels who crave a blend of outdoor adventure, mindful movement, soulful experiences, and luxurious relaxation. From the moment our private shuttle picks you up in Scottsdale, you’ll be cared for, nourished, and immersed in the beauty and spirit of the desert.
We’ll spend our days exploring Sedona’s iconic red rocks, relaxing in natural hot springs, shopping local artisan shops, visiting crystal galleries, and savoring chef-prepared meals (Katy's Organic Oven) in our stunning private villa. Enjoy optional psychic readings, wine tastings, sunset hot-air balloon adventures, and plenty of time to soak in the spa, rest, journal, or simply breathe in the breathtaking views.
Come join us for a trip you’ll never forget. Sedona is calling… and we can’t wait to welcome you!
