"Attending this Play & Pause retreat was an unforgettable experience that exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment I arrived, I was embraced by a sense of serenity and community that set the tone for the entire stay.
The organic vegan food was simply phenomenal. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and made from the freshest ingredients. Each dish was a testament to the creativity and care that went into curating a truly nourishing experience. Mealtime became a celebration of plant-based living, and I left inspired to carry these practices home with me. One of the most heartwarming aspects was the playtime on the animal sanctuary. Spending time with the rescued animals was both joyful and grounding. It was incredibly moving to connect with these gentle souls, knowing they are cared for with so much love. It reminded me of the deep interconnectedness of all living beings and the beauty of compassion.
The retreat also offered unparalleled access to Sedona’s natural beauty. Hiking on exclusive trails within the Sedona vortexes felt like stepping into another realm. The energy of the land was palpable, and the guides provided fascinating insights into the area’s spiritual and geological significance. Every step on those trails was healing, grounding, and awe-inspiring. Adding to the physical rejuvenation was the incredible deep tissue massage. The skilled therapists worked magic, relieving tension I didn’t even know I was holding onto. The session was deeply relaxing and left me feeling lighter, freer, and more connected to my body. As a cherry on top, we enjoyed an outing to Javelina’s restaurant for dinner. The vibrant atmosphere and delicious vegan-friendly options made for a perfect evening of laughter and connection with fellow retreat-goers. It was a lovely way to experience Sedona’s dining scene while staying true to our values.
This retreat wasn’t just a getaway; it was a soul-resetting journey. Every element—from the food and animals to the hikes and massages—was thoughtfully designed to nurture the body, mind, and spirit. If you’re seeking renewal, inspiration, and a deeper connection to nature and yourself, this retreat is absolutely life-changing. Eileen exceeded my every expectation. I can’t wait to return!
