Massive red rocks of Sedona and the powerful vortex energy that reigns supreme are the perfect setting for our women-only retreat! For 4 days, we’ll blend nature, adventure, and soulful connection, all the while enjoying breathtaking hikes—which are totally beginner-friendly, allowing every woman to feel accomplished and supported. After a day’s hike, we can unwind and connect through a variety of activities—from yoga and painting to fireside conversations and leisurely walks through historic towns. By the end of the journey, we leave not just with footprints on desert paths, but with renewed clarity, deeper bonds, and a heart open to new possibilities.
This 4-day Sedona hiking tour offers a soul-stirring immersion into the red-rock landscapes, deep connections, and personal transformation. Over the course of this retreat, we hike through iconic trails each day (typically 3–6 miles, with some elevation), alternate our time between movement and stillness through optional yoga and meditation, and pause for surprise experiences designed to stir our awareness. We explore hidden gems—such as historic Jerome, local art galleries, and Sedona’s famed vortex sites—while weaving in fireside talks, creative practices like painting, quiet reflection, and shared meals.
Meet your guide in Chandler, AZ. We begin our adventure by hiking part of the Bell Trail to our lunch spot, covering about 2 miles in roughly 2 hours, with plenty of time to rest and enjoy the scenery. Afterward, we visit the Red Rock Visitor Center to get oriented to the region’s landscapes and history. In the afternoon, we check into our hotel at Sky Rock and settle into our rooms before gathering for our first group dinner at 6pm.

Went on a Sedona 4 day trip in December with Sheila it was a great experience. She handled all the logistics and organization flawlessly. In addition to our wonderful hikes, each day we made side trips to a special area or town. Food was excellent. During our drives and hikes Sheila provided a wealth of information about the areas we were passing and about Sedona. in general. Her driving skills and attention on the curvy and narrow roads was impressive! She really cares about each person on the trip and has the skills to make it special and enjoyable for all. On top of that she is a lot of fun. I hope that I can plan a future trip with Sheila.
This was our second trip with Shelia and it was amazing. Sedona is a spectacular destination with lots of fun adventures. Shelia has an uncanny ability to bring a diverse group of women together and create connection and laughter. Everything about this trip was well planned and designed to perfection. Shelia curated phenomenal meals and really fun activities, including hiking, watercolor, painting, crystal bowl healing, shopping… I would highly recommend any trip with Shelia but going to Sedona is like a cherry on top! Go!!!!
Sheila’s a wonderful guide. She’s organized, prepared, knowledgeable, thoughtful and fun! Her passion for hiking and spending time in the great outdoors is contagious. I highly recommend her expertise for your next trip to Sedona. You’ll be in good hands!
