Awakening Spirit Retreat is a hermitage retreat center nestled in mountain forests east of Sedona, AZ. It is ideal for women's or couples silent retreats, solo yoga, meditation, healing, hiking, fasting, and spiritual awakening.
Three log cabin hermitages--with private decks and panoramic views--are secluded on a private forest hilltop in Pine, AZ. Each cabin has a double or queen bed, private bath, and kitchenette with fridge, double hot plate, and toaster oven. Sheets, towels, paper products are provided along with wifi, cell, and weekly cleaning services.
Personal retreats are scheduled to fit your needs from a 3-night minimum to 3 months or more. Suggested contributions range from $300-$500/week. Sabbatical extended-stay retreats are available from mid-Nov to mid-March with suggested amounts from $800-$1100/month. Work exchanges for 50% of suggested contributions are available.
A personal spiritual retreat at Awakening Spirit offers solitude and privacy amidst abundant wildlife--elk, deer, javelina, fox, squirrels, and soaring hawks and ravens. Hiking Sedona red rocks and nearby mountain lakes and streams is great, and the Grand Canyon is a day trip away.
The private hilltop has secluded benches and swings to enjoy the wildlife and panoramic views. A library of spiritual books and on-site host are available, and the retreat is a short walk to groceries, restaurants, yoga studio, energy healer, laundry and library in the Pine town center.
