Welcome

This retreat is not about fixing yourself.

It’s about remembering who you really are beyond the stories, struggles, and limitations.

Most of us are taught how to function, succeed, and survive, but very few of us are taught how to stay connected to our inner truth. Over time, we drift. Life begins to feel stressful, overwhelming, or heavy. Not because we’re doing something wrong, but because we’ve moved out of alignment with who we truly are.

When life doesn’t feel good, it’s often life asking for our attention.

These retreats are an invitation to slow down, listen, and come back into alignment with yourself at the deepest level.

What Healing and Awakening Really Mean Here

Healing isn’t about fixing or getting rid of parts of you.

Awakening isn’t about becoming someone better or more evolved.

Healing happens when what’s been avoided or stuck is finally allowed to be felt.

Awakening happens when awareness returns to the present moment and the stories begin to loosen.

Presence heals because it brings us back into truth.

This retreat is designed to create the conditions where that can happen naturally, safely, and without force.

Why Sedona?

There is no place on earth quite like Sedona. Most people notice immediately that it feels different here. Something slows down. Something opens.

​Sedona supports transformation, not by forcing it, but by making it easier to become present and honest with yourself.

The land invites grounding and clarity. There is a quiet here that makes it easier to hear what your body and inner knowing have been communicating all along.

Sedona is a place that supports deep listening, integration, and remembering.

The Experience

This work is deep, but simple. Grounded. Human.
You don’t need prior experience.
You just need to be willing to show up honestly.


Conscious Breathwork

The breath is the foundation of this retreat. It brings awareness out of the thinking mind and into the body, where stored emotions, beliefs, and survival patterns live. When met with presence, these patterns begin to soften and release on their own.

Guided Teaching & Inquiry

Teachings and processes help you recognize where you’ve been living out of alignment and how that shows up in your body, emotions, and relationships. This is about direct experience, not theory.

Integration & Embodiment

We move slowly and intentionally, honoring the nervous system. Nothing is pushed. You are always in choice. Real healing happens when the body feels safe enough to open.

“To say WOW would be an understatement. The shift has been beautiful. I’m opening in ways I never experienced before. Crazy awareness. Thank you for giving me the space to do that. “
- Kate

“Thank you so much for an amazing weekend. I feel so restored. It was everything I needed. I feel so grateful to be a part of the healing of humanity.”
- Nicki

“Thank you from the depths of my heart and soul. I asked for paradigm shifts, surprises, and BIG love. W.O.W. I don’t know if I have ever received what I asked for in such a BIG and RAPID way.”
- Soña

“Thank you for facilitating such a magical event.  I loved it in every way and I will absolutely be joining you again for another 4 days at some point. It's different from anything I've worked with before.”
- Kacie S

What People Are Saying From Previous Retreats

"I have been on the spiritual path of discovery for several decades, and the space you held for our unfolding was exquisite.  I have been blessed to learn from many inspiring teachers/monks/shamans/guides as they share their wisdom of yoga, sound, aromatherapy & plants… And, I have never experienced such an expansive and clean way of holding space for awakening awareness.

I’ve felt a beautiful unfolding with your online classes… And the in-person retreat took it to a whole new level.  You created the opportunity for coming into loving acceptance of birth, death, rebirth and all of life’s experiences in-between.  I was able to be present with several deep, lifelong traumas in just a few sessions of the breath work.  I was able to harmonize lifelong belief patterns that were creating distress in my life.  All of this was because of the way you hold a space of harmony and love for all of creation.

I am now more open, in motion, with more energy flowing through my entire body.  It was so exquisitely perfect and beautiful… Challenging and opening all at the same time.  I am now more light-hearted, and I’m having more fun in my life!  I am grateful to you, and I’m looking forward to being present with the love that is unfolding in every moment.  Thank you for sharing your gifts of awakening with all of us!"
- Ariel F.
“I feel more like the loving me I have always known, but been scared to show. In fact, as I write this I just finished facilitating a women's group, which I've done for the past year or so with so many judgments towards myself, sometimes spending hours after critiquing myself and wishing I had done things differently. Tonight, there are almost no judgments. I felt I was more present and more in my heart than ever before. I have spent a large portion of my life extremely self critical, allowing my fear to keep me from doing so many things. I felt I broke through so much of that this past week with all the healing that occurred. Zach has a magical way of bringing us back into remembering all of who we are, with so much grace, love and for me laughter! And even though there was an intensity around it all, I felt so safe and so cared about the whole way. Beyond grateful for it all!”
- Summer C.
"WOW oh WOW! What an adventure and I was so blessed to be with such an awesome group of people and Zach at the workshop.! The breathwork alone is amazing so experiencing. Zach's awesome facilitation combined with breathing for two days with a beautiful, honest, open group is a life changing experience... did someone say Miracles? Still processing everything from the weekend and know my life will never be the same! Thank you Zach and all that attended!"
- Pam N.
"I still don't even know where to start after these amazing days with Zach. Words seem so woefully inadequate in describing all that I got to experience during the last few days.
Nothing is the same. From the little things to the big stuff, nothing is like it was before!
Through Zach holding the space, asking the right questions and the completely amazing breathwork - I was handed that huge "permission slip" to step into SO much more of me.
And now, NOTHING is the same! Those of you who have listened to Zach before may have heard him talk of "miracles" happening .... yes, .... THAT!
Things are still moving and unfolding and I am excited to see where it's all going! I am in such gratitude for everyone and everything!"
- Birgit K.
"Once again, participating in a Zach Rehder workshop was the best gift I could have given myself. The contribution that Zach has been to me is huge and these last two days were no exception. I have a new sense of freedom from outdated beliefs that no longer serve me and a heart that feels like it has opened wide to receive. I am forever grateful , thank you volumes, Zach, for helping me truly get a bit closer to what I have always been seeking..."me"."
- Kayt G.
"I just got back from a four-day retreat in Sedona with Zach Rehder and an incredible group of people who showed up with a level of openness, courage, and authenticity that I've honestly never experienced before. Over those four days, | laughed, cried, connected deeply with others, and faced parts of myself I had spent years believing were true. Parts that told me I wasn't enough. That I needed to be different. That I needed to earn love, prove myself, or become someone else before I could be worthy.
And what I found on the other side was something simple but life-changing:
None of those stories were ever who I really was.
Zach broke me open. Not by telling me who I should be, but by helping me see who I already am.
I came home feeling more whole, more grounded, and more myself than I can remember feeling in a very long time. I'm not finished. There will always be more to learn, more healing, and more growth. But for the first time in a long time, I feel at home with myself. 

Zach, you're incredible. Thank you for helping me see myself more clearly and for creating spaces where transformation feels possible."
