4 days/3 nights on Sacred Indian Lands

This is indeed a very special, spiritually oriented journey that allows for great personal insights and transformation, a wonderful opportunity to connect to our natural spiritual connection to the Earth, to our core-self, open the heart, get peace and clarity of mind.

Spending 4 full days/3 nights on Sacred Indian lands with no cell phone reception and no distractions. There is the abundant red earth touching the vast turquoise-blue sky, peace, silence, beauty all around ... and you.

That is where everything ends ... and you begin.

OUTLINE OF ITINERARY:

Day One:
We will stop at Flagstaff (a historic Route 66 town) and continuing on our way to the Hopi Reservation, we pass through the Navajo Reservation.

As we pass thru these sacred lands you will learn (and feel) about the ways and life of these Ancient Ones, tuning in to their wisdom.

THen Hopi lunch on the Hopi Reservation.

Visit the Hopi Indians and Walpi... the oldest still inhabited Pueblo Village in North America dating back thousands of years! Our Hopi Guide will tell us about their customs, spirituality and present life. The Hopi are considered one of the most spiritual tribes in North America. Their prophesies are world renown. They are in fact identical to the Tibetan prophesies. The Dalai Lama visited with their Elders, discussing the similarity in their prophesies.

Continuing deep on to Indian roads into a small Navajo town, we will visit with a Navajo Medicine Woman (if available on that day) for a blessing ceremony in a Hogan.

Overnight: At the historic Thunderbird Lodge inside Canyon De Chelly.

Day Two:
After breakfast we will take a half day tour inside Canyon De Chelly with a Navajo guide, learning about the history, spirituality and ways of life of the Navajo, past, present and future. Canyon De Chelly is sacred ground to the Navajo and Hopi. Many artifacts and petroglyphs remain.

After lunch, we will visit the main outlooks of Canyon De Chelly.

In late afternoon, we will partake in a traditional Native American Sweat Lodge ceremony at Spider Rock followed by a festive meal.

3 nights hotel accommodation* (sharing rooms) at the historic Thunderbird Lodge, visit Walpi with a Hopi guide, half day Unimog tour with a Navajo guide, Medicine Wheel ceremony by Spider Rock, Navajo Sweat Lodge ceremony in Canyon De Chelly, roundtrip from Phoenix in a private van, and entrance fees. A donation is required for the Medicine Woman as well as the Sweat Lodge.

*Do not worry about not having a partner for this trip! Most people come single and match themselves up with the person they feel most comfortable with. This works out just great!

PLEASE NOTE: The Medicine Men/Women are totally dedicated to their work to Spirit and humanity. They travel wherever they are called, at no advance notice. Therefore, we hope they will be there for us during our tour, but we cannot guarantee this (they usually are available for us). We are on Native American sacred lands. The tour teaches us to allow things to unfold at their own pace and timing. We do have a program, but we allow for changes and adjustments as they arise.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Please be advised this is a Vision Quest journey. These trips may be intense on an emotional, physical and spiritual level. There is much psychological transformation that occurs during the weekend. It may be intense on many levels.
