New year Renewal Retreat

The New Year Renewal Retreat is a retreat at the Sedona Mago Center for Well-being and Retreat in Sedona, Arizona, held across the turn of the year. It suits anyone who would rather begin a new year with meditation, gentle movement and time among the red rocks than with a crowd. It is hosted by the center, whose programs draw on Tao healing methods, Qigong and meditation.

What to Expect

The retreat is a short stay built around the new year. The center describes its retreats as a blend of guided meditation and mindful movement rooted in Eastern traditions, balanced with time in nature. The aim of its programs is practical: tools for everyday life, such as greater awareness, balance and connection, that you can carry home with you. A meditation retreat in Sedona at this time of year is a quiet way to reflect on what you are leaving behind and what you want to bring forward.

About Sedona Mago Center for Well-being and Retreat

Sedona Mago Center for Well-being and Retreat is a 173-acre spiritual retreat center among Sedona's red rocks. It is owned and operated by Tao Fellowship, a 501(c)(3) non-denominational nonprofit, and works from the mission "Love Humanity, Love the Earth." The center has offered a place for healing for nearly 30 years. Its programs range from weekend meditation and chakra healing to longer stays such as Finding True Self, the Sedona Wellness Retreat, the Revitalizing Detox Retreat and a vortex healing retreat.

The Setting

The center sits at 3500 E Bill Gray Rd. in Sedona, Arizona. Its grounds include a healing lake, a meditation labyrinth and walking paths, which give the days room for quiet walks between sessions. Retreats at the center include accommodations and nourishing pescatarian meals, so guests can settle in and stay on the land rather than commute in and out.

The center is non-denominational, and its teaching is practical and open to people coming to Qigong and meditation for the first time. Its programs are educational and are not a substitute for professional medical or psychological care. If you take medication, do not stop or change it without approval from your healthcare professional.
