Group Retreats in Sedona

Small-group healing retreats — usually four to eight people, never more than eight — in full days that run eight to ten hours.

SpiritFlow Sedona runs two group retreats. The Sacred Sedona Healing Retreat is three days and costs $999 per person. The Sedona SpiritFlow Weekend is two days and costs $499 per person. Both are capped at eight people, both run full days of eight to ten hours rather than the four to six that is common in Sedona, and both are led by Melina Fuhrmann, the only Brennan Healing Science practitioner in Sedona. Lodging is not included.

Upcoming Group Retreat Dates

Every date below is confirmed. Groups are usually four to eight people and never more than eight, and they do fill, so the earlier you speak to me the more likely your first choice is still open.

Retreat Dates Length Price
Sedona SpiritFlow Weekend Limited to 8 September 26–27, 2026 2 days $499per person
Sedona SpiritFlow Weekend Limited to 8 November 14–15, 2026 2 days $499per person

All group retreats are led personally by Melina Fuhrmann and capped at eight participants. Full payment is due 45 days before the start date. Lodging is not included.

What Makes a SpiritFlow Group Retreat Different

Usually four to eight people, never more than eight

Eight is the ceiling and it is a real one, not eighteen with a promise of "intimacy". Most groups land at four to eight. It is small enough that I can watch what is actually happening for each person and adjust the day around it, and small enough that the group becomes a group rather than an audience.

Full days, not two appointments

Retreat days here run eight to ten hours, beginning at 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning and finishing at 6:00 or 7:00 in the evening. Six to eight distinct pieces fill each day. If you are comparing Sedona retreats, look closely at how many hours of actual sessions each day contains. The difference is usually larger than the difference in price.

One person is responsible

I design the retreat, I meet you before you arrive, and I lead the core work myself. Where a specialist supports a particular activity, they arrive knowing where the retreat has been and where it is going. You are never handed between practitioners who have not spoken to each other.

Sacred Sedona Healing Retreat - 3 days, $999 per person

The deeper of the two. Three full days give what happens on day one somewhere to go. Energy-consciousness teaching, chakra reading and assessment, Brennan Healing Science energy healing, land journeys on permitted forest land with Reiki and Himalayan singing bowl sound healing, breathwork, inner child release work, and time to integrate rather than rush home from it. Usually four to eight people, never more than eight.

Sedona SpiritFlow Weekend Retreat - 2 days, $499

Two full days across a weekend, for people who cannot take weekdays off or who want to begin before committing to more. The same hours and the same standard of work, over a shorter arc. Usually four to eight people, never more than eight.

With each day, more is possible. You cannot get the same out of two days that you can out of three. Two days will move something real. Three gives that movement somewhere to settle, and it is where the deepest change happens.

What Does a Day on a Group Retreat Look Like?

A long one. We begin at 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning and finish at 6:00 or 7:00 in the evening, and some evenings run later than that. Six to eight distinct pieces fill each day rather than one appointment in the morning and another in the afternoon.

A single day might hold breathwork and a grounding experiential, a chakra reading and assessment in the Brennan Healing Science tradition, energy-consciousness training on the thoughts and emotions running underneath your patterns, a two- to three-hour land journey with Reiki and Himalayan singing bowl sound healing, gentle yoga and a sound bath, chi-gong, and unhurried time for meditation, introspection and journaling.

The order and the emphasis change with each group. What does not change is that the day is full.

Melina Fuhrmann, Brennan Healing Science Practitioner, Sedona

Who You Work With

Me, throughout. I am Melina Fuhrmann, an energy-consciousness teacher, spiritual mentor, energy healer and guide. I work as a holistic coach and spiritual counselor, and I am a Brennan Healing Science practitioner, the only one in Sedona, a Reiki Master Teacher and a sound therapy practitioner. I hold a master's from Johns Hopkins and an MBA from INSEAD, and I have worked with hundreds of clients and students from more than 70 countries.

I did not arrive at this through study, though the study came later. It began inside my own family, with something I do not write about publicly, and it settled one question for me permanently: we are spiritual beings having a human existence. Everything I do rests on that. It is why beliefs and life purpose are not soft additions to healing — they are the material itself. Most of what limits a person was decided early, by a version of them who was doing their best with very little information. That decision can be revisited. That is most of what I do.

My connection to the land came long before Sedona. We owned a property in Geneva with vortexes on it, and I have the photographs. I did not discover this in Sedona. I came to Sedona because the land here is loud. That is why the outdoor sessions are not scenery.

Group retreats are supported by specialists for selected activities: a trauma-informed yoga instructor, a chi-gong instructor, and a licensed massage therapist. They support the day. They do not divide it, and they do not replace me. Whoever else is in the room, the retreat is mine to hold.

Is a Group Retreat Right for You?

A group retreat suits you if you want to do real work but would rather not do it alone, if hearing other people name what you have been carrying quietly would help, and if a fixed date and a fixed price make the decision easier than an open calendar does.

It is not the right choice if you need the whole retreat shaped around one specific situation, if you would find a group distracting, or if you want to choose your own dates. For any of those, a private retreat is the better fit, and it is not a consolation prize — it is a different thing.

And to be plain about the pace: this is not a spa day with a hike attached, and it is not a sampler. It is a working immersion for people who have decided they want to understand themselves and change something they have been carrying for a long time. If that is not where you are right now, Sedona has beautiful places that will serve you better.

Where Group Retreats Take Place

Indoor sessions are held in the SpiritFlow sanctuary at The Collective Sedona, 7000 AZ-179, Suite E200, Sedona, Arizona 86351, with Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte through the windows. Outdoor sessions in Coconino National Forest are fully permitted through Sedona Metaphysical Spiritual Association. Sessions are never held in a private home.

Driving time from Phoenix Sky Harbor is 1 hour and 45 minutes and from Flagstaff Pulliam just under an hour. Groome Transportation has around 13 shuttles per day from PHX to Sedona.

If a Full Day is Too Much

Tell me before you book. Retreat days can be adapted around chronic illness, limited energy or mobility, and the land portions can be shortened or made gentler. A private two-day retreat can also be spread across four half-days, which is not available on a group retreat but is worth knowing about. Asking changes how the retreat is built, not whether you can come.

Group Retreat Questions, Answered

How much does a group retreat in Sedona cost?

At SpiritFlow, $999 per person for the three-day Sacred Sedona Healing Retreat and $499 per person for the two-day Sedona SpiritFlow Weekend. Both prices cover every session and all the teaching and healing work across the retreat. Lodging, meals and travel are not included.

How many people are in a group retreat?

Usually four to eight, and never more than eight. That ceiling is firm. It is small enough that the day can be adjusted around what is actually happening for each person.

What are the 2026 and 2027 group retreat dates?

September 4 to 7, 2026 and January 12 to 15, 2027 for the three-day Sacred Sedona Healing Retreat. September 26 to 27, 2026 and November 14 to 15, 2026 for the two-day Sedona SpiritFlow Weekend.
More dates for 2027 coming soon.

How long is each retreat day?

Eight to ten hours. Days begin at 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning and finish at 6:00 or 7:00 in the evening, sometimes later. Many Sedona retreats run four to six hours of sessions a day, so compare hours as well as prices.

Is lodging included in the price?

No. The SpiritFlow Sedona Casita guesthouse may be available at $150 to $200 a night for sleeping and resting, and there is a wide range of hotels and rentals in the Village of Oak Creek and Sedona. Ask when you inquire and you will get a straight answer about what is free on your dates.

Do I need to be experienced with energy healing?

No. Most people arrive with no background in it at all. The first morning includes an introduction to energy consciousness, the chakras and the aura, so everyone starts from the same place.

What is Brennan Healing Science?

A four-year training in hands-on energy healing founded by Barbara Brennan, a former NASA physicist. It combines energy field work with psychological process work. Melina Fuhrmann is the only Brennan Healing Science practitioner in Sedona.

Is a group retreat or a private retreat better?

They serve different people. A group retreat gives you fixed dates, a fixed price and the company of others doing the same work. A private retreat is shaped entirely around one person or couple and can be scheduled almost any time. If your situation is specific and you want the whole retreat built around it, choose private.

What should I bring?

  • Refillable water bottle
  • Comfortable clothing for indoors
  • Outdoor clothing and shoes with grip for outdoors
  • A hat and sun protection
  • A pen
  • A journal, optional
  • A small backpack (can be borrowed, just ask)

How physically demanding is the land work?

The land journeys involve walking on uneven ground for 30-90 minutes, at a pace set by the group rather than a hiking pace. Tell me before you book if you have mobility limits, a fear of heights, chronic illness or altitude concerns, and the land portions can be shortened or made gentler.

Do you accommodate dietary needs, chronic illness or accessibility needs?

Yes. The pre-retreat intake form and Zoom consultation exist partly for this. The earlier you tell me, the more can be adjusted.

What happens before I arrive?

You complete a retreat intake form and we meet on Zoom to talk through your background and set your intention. 

When is payment due, and how do I pay?

Full payment is due 45 days before the retreat begins. Zelle and Venmo are preferred; card payments carry a 4 percent processing fee.

What is your cancellation policy?

I do not offer cash refunds, because a group is usually four to eight people and one empty place cannot be filled at short notice. I do offer credit. Cancel 46 or more days before the retreat and everything you have paid becomes credit toward any SpiritFlow retreat or session, valid for 12 months, with no fee. Between 15 and 45 days the same applies less a $100 administration fee. Inside 14 days, or if you do not arrive, the 50 percent deposit is not recoverable and anything above it becomes credit less the $100 fee. If something serious happens — illness, a death in the family — write to me. The policy is what I promise in writing, not the limit of what I am willing to do. And if I have to cancel, you choose a full refund or credit, with no fee.

Do you take a deposit?

Yes. A 50 percent deposit reserves your place, and the balance is due 45 days before the retreat begins. If you are booking inside 45 days, the full amount is due at booking.

What happens if you have to cancel?

You choose: a full refund of everything you have paid, returned the way you paid it, or credit toward another date. There is no fee either way and I will tell you as early as I can. Weather is a separate matter — if a storm or a Forest Service closure makes an outdoor session impossible, the retreat still runs and I move the work indoors or to permitted land that is open.

Where do the retreats take place?

Indoor sessions are in the SpiritFlow sanctuary at The Collective Sedona, 7000 AZ-179 Suite E200, Sedona, Arizona 86351. Outdoor sessions are on Coconino National Forest. Sessions are never held in a private home.

Can I book a group retreat for my own group?

Yes.

Can I come on my own if I do not know anyone?

Yes. A group retreat is capped at eight people, which is small enough that nobody sits at the back of the room and small enough that you are not one of thirty strangers.

 

Who actually leads the retreat?

Melina Fuhrmann leads the retreat from the first session to the last. Specialists support selected activities — a yoga instructor, a chi-gong instructor, an astrologer — but the retreat is not divided between rotating facilitators and you are not handed from one practitioner to another. You know before you arrive who is leading your days.

 

Is this therapy?

No. This is energy healing, sound therapy and land-based work. It is not psychotherapy, it is not a substitute for medical or mental health treatment, and nothing here is a diagnosis. If you are in treatment for anything, stay in it and keep your provider informed of the work we are doing in Sedona. The work sits alongside care, not in place of it.

 

Are meals included?

Only daily fresh juices, snacks, tea, and reverse-osmosis water are included. We often pick up food for lunch and picnic. Dinners together are always optional.

 

Do I need a car?

Normally not. Travel to the National Forest is usually in one of the cars of one of the participants, but not everyone will need a car.

 

What happens after the retreat ends?

Included in the retreat is a 60-minute Zoom integration call. Occasionally, we meet with the entire group, as often the group stays in touch.

 

Is this a religious retreat?

No. The work is spiritual rather than religious and belongs to no tradition or doctrine. People arrive from every faith and from none.
