  • The Earth is believed to have seven chakra sites located in various areas, each corresponding to different energy centers within the body. In Sedona, these chakra sites are situated along ley lines that intersect and connect with vortexes, enhancing their spiritual potency. At "Spirit of the Heavens," our chakra sites are marked and feature corresponding crystals or stones affiliated with each particular chakra. These sites offer a sacred space for introspection, meditation, and contemplation, allowing you to connect with the subtle energies of the Earth and experience profound inner transformation.

  • In the realm of spirituality and metaphysics, a vortex refers to an energy center or site believed to possess heightened spiritual or energetic qualities. People often visit such locations for healing, meditation, or personal transformation, drawn by the powerful energy that emanates from these sacred sites. Sedona, Arizona, is renowned for its abundance of vortexes, making it a popular destination for spiritual seekers and pilgrims seeking to tap into the transformative energy of these natural wonders.

  • In spirituality, a medicine wheel is a symbolic and ceremonial tool used by some Native American cultures, particularly those of the Great Plains region. It represents a holistic understanding of life and the interconnectedness of all things. The medicine wheel typically consists of a circular arrangement of stones, often placed on the ground, that is divided into four quadrants or directions: east, south, west, and north. Each direction is associated with specific elements, animals, colors, seasons, and stages of life.

    The medicine wheel is used for various purposes, including healing, guidance, and spiritual teachings. It can serve as a framework for understanding and harmonizing with nature, as well as a tool for personal reflection and growth. Ceremonies and rituals conducted within the medicine wheel may involve prayer, meditation, storytelling, and the honoring of ancestors and spiritual guides.

    It's important to note that different Native American tribes may have unique interpretations and uses of the medicine wheel, as spirituality and cultural practices can vary among indigenous communities.

  • Divinity sites are centers believed to have heightened energetic qualities within which guests have attuned to what they perceive to be “higher guidance”. We invite you to sit, connect or meditate in our Divinity Sites and see what comes to you.

  • The Water Sphere at "Spirit of the Heavens" is a sacred geometric design inspired by the Indigenous Americans' medicine wheel. This symbolic representation of water or the spirit of water is believed to energize, celebrate, and honor the life-giving properties of water. The Water Sphere serves as a focal point for meditation and reflection, inviting guests to connect with the elemental forces of nature and harness their healing energy. Infused with love, gratitude, and intention, the Water Sphere embodies the transformative power of conscious thought and its ability to shape the world around us.

  • The circle or sphere holds profound significance in Indigenous American culture, symbolizing unity, wholeness, and interconnectedness. It reflects the cyclical nature of life and the interconnected web of existence in which all living beings are intrinsically linked. For Indigenous Americans, the circle serves as a powerful reminder of the natural rhythms of the Earth and the universal principles of balance and harmony. By embracing the circularity of life, we gain a deeper understanding of our place in the world and our interconnectedness with all living things, guiding us on a path of spiritual growth and evolution.

  • The Sanctuary offers opportunities to explore sacred sites such as labyrinths, vortexes, ancestor paths, chakra sites, Oak Creek and more — all of which can enhance spiritual awakening.
