R&R Retreat

The R&R Retreat is a short rest-and-renewal retreat at Sedona Mago Center for Well-being and Retreat, set among the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona. It is for anyone who needs long-overdue rest and wants a few quiet days away, staying in a private casita at a Sedona retreat center that has offered a place for healing for nearly 30 years. The retreat runs for a long weekend of two nights.

What to Expect

The retreat is built around rest and recharging rather than a packed schedule. Sedona Mago's programs generally combine guided meditation and mindful movement rooted in Eastern traditions with time in nature, and the center's teaching centers on Tao healing methods, Qigong and meditation. The aim across its retreats is practical tools for everyday life: greater awareness, balance and connection.

A fixed daily schedule and session times are not set out for this retreat, so come expecting a restorative stay in the quiet of the desert landscape and not a program of intensive instruction.
