Sedona is believed to be a very spiritual place. If you are looking for a journey to visit sacred sites we would highly recommend Clint Frakes of Sedona Sacred Earth. His approach to his journeys is in the spirit of a “medicine walk”.

Clint starts with a brief interview and aligns your itinerary and activities to your specific needs and desires. Different sites carry different energies and offer distinct gifts. Continue reading →
