Return to the Real New Year: A Spring Equinox Retreat in Sedona
With Yoga Teacher Kelly Barrett & Life Coach + Spiritual Mentor Catherine Andrews
March 18–22, 2025 | Sedona, Arizona
✨ Reset. Renew. Remember who you are.
While the world tells us to launch into resolutions and productivity in January, nature has a different rhythm — one that invites us to rest, restore, and wait.
The true new year begins with the Spring Equinox.
That perfect moment of balance between light and dark, when life starts to stir beneath the surface, and energy begins to rise again. It’s a sacred threshold — and there is no better place to cross it than Sedona, Arizona.
Join Kelly Barrett and Catherine Andrews for 5 days of deep nourishment, spiritual alignment, and joyful community in one of the most energetically potent landscapes on Earth: Sedona, Arizona.
🌿 What Awaits You:
Daily yoga + movement practices with Kelly to gently awaken body and spirit
Guided life coaching + intention setting sessions with Catherine to help you align with your soul’s direction
Journaling + Tarot to connect with your intuition and uncover what you truly want
Sacred hiking excursions through Sedona’s red rocks and vortexes
Seasonal ritual + Spring Equinox ceremony to energetically welcome the year ahead
Free time to rest, visit crystal shops, enjoy nourishing food, and connect in sisterhood
Whether you’re feeling stuck, lost, depleted, or just know it’s time for a reset — this retreat is your invitation to come back to yourself, in rhythm with nature, on sacred land.
Our retreat center is located in the Page Springs green belt just outside of Sedona in Cornville, AZ, onn 6 acres with an artesian spring, ponds, and paths to wander under tall cottonwood and sycamore trees.
