My experience was accommodated to my needs and beautiful. There are so many places to choose from in Sedona, and I was directed to the best one for me. Great guide and informative on the land and its origin. The sound healing was phenomenal. The overall experience was priceless. When being called by Sedona, I recommend Sedona Vortex Retreats for your experience. You are going to have a lot of intensive internal shifts, and your guide is amazing to help you along.

A once in a lifetime experience! I received the Sound Journey with Akal that was life transforming. He is definitely a Magician and Sound Wizard!. I was transported into a different world the moment I stepped into the circular Sound Chamber. There are so many gongs, bowls, chimes, it was a feast to my senses to be surrounded by so many incredible instruments! I was laid down comfortably and guided on a most amazing and glorious adventure, like being on a magic carpet ride. I was transported into a timeless dimension of beauty and grace. I felt like I had been cradled by the Loving Universe for a very long time, returning feeling very relaxed, refreshed and knowing that " every little thing is going to be alright". Thank you Iala and Akal for guiding me on such a healing and transformative journey.

Had a great time during my Vortex Retreats and Sound healing. I unfortunately became ill when my first retreat was scheduled and iala graciously allowed me to reschedule. Akal was amazing and I enjoyed my time discussing spirituality with him immensely. I will miss our hikes and conversations and hope i will be able to connect with him in the future

Akal Jaggs and Iala, owners of Sedona Vortex Retreats are the only people i would trust for real spiritual retreats in Sedona. Akal is an authentic shaman and an acclaimed Sound healer and musical composer. Tap into what he knows, he is very grounded. Get a sound healing in his Healing Tipi, it's an amazing experience. I've known Iala and Akal for over 12 years and always see them when I am in my spiritual home of Sedona. You will get a highlight of your Sedona tour which will last with you. Also get a Jin Shin treatment with Aurora if you can, she is one of the best experiences I've ever had. I studied Jin Shin and she really knows what she's doing and works with the highest of angelic energies.

I am in deep gratitude for the gift of your exquisite sound journey that I experienced yesterday. That was incredibly delicious and powerful. What a master sound magician you are Akal creating the most unique sonic textures for journeying to the supernal dimensions of communion with the Majesty of Life.

After a series of life challenges, I heard Sedona calling me. I compared many retreats/experiences, and I 100% chose the right one. Undescribable changes within myself. When I returned home, my friends said that I even looked and sounded better. This is a wonderful tribe of people with versatile, authentic gifts, and they know Sedona very well - all of it's magical energy. It's a beautiful experience - definitely not a tourist trap. I am forever grateful for the spiritual gifts and tools that I received to help manage every day life. I can see the world through a colorful lens now. It's no longer grey. I am likely to return for an annual recharge.

5 Star experiences with Sedona Vortex Retreats! I hosted my Glow Sedona Spiritual Vacation Retreat April 13-18, 2021. I set up excursions for my group of 9 people with iala. Akal was our guide for a 3 hour Vortex Experience and then a 2 hour Medicine Wheel experience. We all loved Akal, his energy and knowledge about the powerful Vortex Energy we experienced. I highly recommend you book well in advance with them, since they fill up quickly. The next retreat I host in Sedona, I will definitely hire them to guide us within the Vortex Energies. I look forward to experiencing the sound healing they usually offer within their Tipi Temple. Unfortunately, it was closed while we were there, due to COVID.

Absolutely amazing, a life changing experience!! I did the Vortex Retreat during my first trip to Sedona last month. I'm so glad I found this program which turned my trip into an experience I will take with me always!! Iala the coordinator was so helpful while booking my adventure. Akal and Kazandrah as guides were so intuitive, knowledgeable and kind. We went to some major attractions and some hidden gems to experience the energy of the vortexes, the medicine wheels, and the gorgeous scenery. We also had a sound healing session that was truly transformative. I cannot wait to bring friends and family back to experience the same!! Thank you : )

My daughter and I are so happy we participated in the Sedona Vortex Retreat. It was a powerfully healing, enlightening, guiding, clarifying, empowering experience. We just got back 2 weeks ago and we already want to go again. Akal was a calm and wise man who led us on our own personal journey to clarity and personal growth. I'm so grateful to him. Cheryl was delightful as we hiked Sugar Loaf and did supportive yoga and ayurveda discussion and experienced outstanding healing sessions of Jin Shin. The closing ceremony at the medicine wheel was profound for us both and an anchor we will always remember. A beautiful and powerful experience for which we feel so thankful. I will tell anyone and everyone not to hesitate to go to Sedona if feeling called there and to book Sedona Vortex Retreat definitely.

With the Sedona Vortex Retreat, my two daughters and I had one of the most incredible personal development experiences of our lives. Iala organized an amazing retreat with the most fantastic practitioners. Patricia's nurturing and kinship, Aurora's insight, Akal's wisdom, Cheryl's education, and Sharon's guidance helped to get the most out of each and every activity. I look forward to participating in one of the retreats again soon. Blessings and gratitude, Monica

Thank you for a beautiful experience!! It's been a month since my retreat and the weekend is still with me in a powerful and loving way. Reflecting back, Iala created an itinerary for me that flowed magically. I really enjoyed my time with each of the guides - Aurora, Akal, Bonnie and Patricia. Thank you for sharing your gifts. I'm looking forward to my next opportunity to see everyone again.

Wisdom Guiding As a spiritual teacher on the East Coast I take groups to many sacred places on this earth to tap into the land to help expand our transformation. Sedona is one of those places and Iala, Akal and the Sages of Sedona Vortex Retreat as our guides complemented our journey with grace, wisdom and willingness. They did a beautiful job of allowing our energies as a group under their direction, to grow and absorb the possibilities. We received bodywork, participated in Sound Meditation, the Medicine Wheel and a personalized tour of the major vortexes, all the while taking in the insight of these dedicated Sages. A greatly appreciated connection – did not disappoint.

My fiance and I came out for a couples retreat the first part of October. I would have to say that our expectations were not only met, but Iala and Akal far exceeded them! The experience as a whole was very pleasant and easy. Iala had organized our time and put together a personalized schedule that was specific to our needs as a couple. Every appointment/tour was well organized, convenient (picked up at our location) and timely. They are very professional in what they do. Akal was very intuitive and brought so much insight to both of us. He helped up to expand our energy to let go of many things that were not serving us and open our hearts to allow each other to step into each others space to be great! Our experiences with Patricia, Sharon and Cheryl were also pleasant, re-energizing and enhancing. I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the services that are offered and we are anxious to come back to experience different services and discover new areas of Sedona. They know all the special little secrets that Sedona has to offer and they are happy to share them with their clients. We appreciate everything they did to make this journey a very special one!

This was one of the best experiences for myself and my friend too. We had an absolutely wonderful, heartlifting, spirit-cleansing, brain expanding and joyous experience with Akal, Sharon, and Patricia. Godspeed the same to all of you. Iala Jaggs was such a great informative and kind person and helped so much in recommending what she thought would be the best for us. I don't think I could ever come close to saying enough that would completely express how much we loved our experience. I would recommend this to anyone, at any time, for any reason if you are seeking this kind of experience. Open your heart, come here and be rejuvenated and inspired by these souls who will make sure you leave with a smile on your face and in your heart!!!!

Our Private Sedona Vortex Retreats are the perfect way for you to experience the Magic of Sedona!
What makes our retreats so outstanding?
You’ll go right into the heart of the vortex energy
Oh, those gorgeous red rocks.
That amazing energy!
You want to be right in the middle of it.
Not stuck in a building or whizzing past it in a jeep.
You’ll want to put your hands on the rocks and your feet on the earth and feel the closeness of nature and the pulse of spiritual energy all around you.
We get it. You’re coming to Sedona to experience the magic.
And to remove yourself from your everyday world.
That’s what makes our retreats so unique.

“I wanted you to know that my personal retreat today was the most powerful spiritual experience I’ve had thus far in my life.” — Mary Ellen Connett

You know, it’s really not that difficult to locate a vortex site.
But it’s another thing entirely to be guided by experts who know how to work with Sedona’s powerful vortex energies.
They’ll guide you in connecting deeply with Spirit.
They’ll help you remove the blocks that prevent your own connection.
And they’ll move your heart, mind and soul to a place where your spirit can soar.
“This was one of the best experiences for myself and my friend, too. We had an absolutely wonderful, heart lifting, spirit-cleansing, brain expanding and joyous experience. Godspeed the same to all of you.”
You’ll follow a schedule tailored perfectly to you and your goals
After all, with a private retreat, it’s all about you.
And that means you individually (and with any special souls you choose to go on retreat with).
Your goals.
Your connection.
Your experiences.
Your transformation.
Not some random group of people.
This is your time to connect and go deeper.
So you’ll choose a retreat package that resonates strongly with you. And then you’ll be guided to customize your schedule to align closely with your innermost goals and desires.
