Most guests fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), which is about a two-hour drive to Sedona. From there, you have two options:

1. Rent a Car
The PHX Rental Car Center hosts all major agencies, including Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Fox, Hertz, National, Sixt, and Thrifty. Be sure your reservation is at the official Rental Car Center (not an off-airport location) for easy pick-up. Renting a car gives you flexibility to explore Sedona’s red rocks, trails, and surrounding areas during your stay.

2. Groome Transportation Shuttle
If you prefer not to drive, Groome Transportation runs 14 daily shuttles between Phoenix Sky Harbor and Sedona. The shuttle makes stops at many local hotels and also offers home pick-up and drop-off in Sedona with advance reservations.

There is a shuttle service from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport that drops you right in West Sedona, and it’s very easy to use. However, we strongly recommend renting a car for your trip.

Sedona is quite spread out, and having your own vehicle gives you the freedom to explore more fully. With a car, you’ll have greater flexibility in choosing where to stay, more ease getting to trailheads and local spots, and the ability to make the most of your time here.

If you’re planning to extend your trip, a rental car opens up wonderful day trips—to Flagstaff and the mountains, to Oak Creek for time by the water, or to hidden overlooks and quiet spots in the red rocks. We’ll also provide recommendations for these experiences once you arrive.

After you register, we’ll do our best to connect participants so you may be able to share a car if your flight times align.

While the shuttle is convenient, having your own car truly enhances the Sedona experience and allows you to take full advantage of everything this magical place has to offer.

Yes there is ample parking at the retreat centre - you can drive you car with no issue.

While Jennifer and Steve will be your main guides throughout the retreat, we’ll also be joined by a circle of gifted facilitators and teachers. Throughout the week, you can expect guest sessions ranging from sacred ceremony to movement practices and deep teachings that complement the retreat journey.

We’ll be providing as part of your registration group lunches on Friday and Saturday, a beautiful way to gather and connect over nourishing food together as a community.

For your other meals, we’ve intentionally left space so you have the freedom to follow your own tastes and rhythms. Sedona has an incredible food scene, and between us, you’ll get plenty of personal recommendations. Steve will happily point you toward the best Mexican spots in town, while Jenn leans toward vibrant, veggie-forward, gluten-free-friendly options that celebrate fresh, local ingredients.

If you’re staying in an Airbnb or a place with a kitchen, you’ll also find it easy to stock up and prepare your own meals. West Sedona has three grocery stores, including Whole Foods and Natural Grocers, both of which carry plenty of organic and locally sourced food.

Whether you’re in the mood for a cozy café, elevated dining, or simply a quiet meal at home, Sedona makes it easy to find something that feels both nourishing and memorable.
