Create Your Life with Intention & Confidence
- Are your current thoughts, emotions, and physical condition functioning in a way that best helps you to create the life you want?
- Do you feel disconnected from yourself and your heart?
- Do you feel like you’re running on autopilot every day, and life is just throwing things at you without your control?
- When life gets tough, do you typically see your hardships through the eyes of stress and trauma?
- Do you have a deep desire to build your inner power and become the true master of your life, so that you’re not so easily affected by your environment and circumstances?
Are you ready to come home to your heart?
You have the power to tap into your deep awareness and intentionally choose to release emotional thought patterns and habits that do not serve your highest good. You absolutely have the power to make new choices and create a new lifestyle for yourself.
It starts with an understanding of how energy works inside and outside of you, and learning to create at whim the energetic balance and harmony that will create health, happiness, and peace in your life.
Based on a 10,000-Year-Old Energy Philosophy
The LOVE HEALS Retreat is a 5-day onsite workshop in Sedona Mago Center for Well-being and Retreat, surrounded by the natural beauty of Sedona. Nestled amongst the powerful natural vortexes of Sedona’s famed land, you will deeply connect your energy to nature’s energy and use it to mindfully reflect, heal, nurture, reconcile, recharge, rejuvenate, reinvigorate, and love yourself.
The essence of this workshop revolves around the 10,000-year-old ancient East Asian energy philosophy of “Water Up Fire Down,” which holds the key to unlocking the limitless potential of your body’s power centers that help activate natural energy healing of body, mind, and spirit.
Experience the Power of Self Love
As you learn to tap into your inner power and create the positive energy flows in your body, you will naturally start to gain confidence and trust in yourself. With this deep confidence and trust, you’ll experience expressing yourself authentically as well as genuine love for yourself and others.
As seen in the documentary LOVE HEALS
The LOVE HEALS retreat is based on the group transformational experience featured in the documentary, LOVE HEALS.
LOVE HEALS follows the journey of Dana, a chronic pain sufferer in search of healing. Her partner, Krisanna, is a filmmaker, and together they travel the country to understand how this ancient principle has helped so many heal and to see what's possible for those experiencing these practices for the first time. The film will be aired on PBS starting in the fall of 2023.

- Learn to manage daily stress that affects you
- Experience ancient energy philosophies in your body, mind and spirit and how to apply them into your life
- Connect to your true essence and hear the voice of your soul that will guide you to your highest good
- Balance your emotions to improve your relationship with yourself and with others

Retreat Schedule
Welcome Orientation
During the welcoming orientation, we will share the important mindset to keep while you are staying and taking the program, introduce the program overview and schedule, and do a reflection meditation.
Build Awareness
Day 2 begins with morning outdoor mindfulness exercises and mediation. Slow down your mind from your busy daily life by barefoot walking slowly on the soft sand around our healing lake. You will ground your energy and your mind will be in a meditative state.
This day is mainly dedicated for you to learn to be in the “present moment” by recovering your physical body senses and energy, as well as learning how to develop your awareness to get in touch with yourself. You will gain very simple, practical energy practices and techniques for your healing, which you can utilize in your life for a lifetime.
Every night, you will finish your day with a set of self-healing practices to take care of your body, mind, and spirit before you go to bed.
Heal Emotions
Day 3 begins with morning outdoor mindfulness exercises and meditation. You will reflect on your entire life by meditating in nature. Our beautiful natural setting, which includes all 5 elements, will help you to bring out love, sincerity, patience for yourself and to remember your life story without resistance.
On this day, you will look at your life and contemplate what emotions, thoughts, and habits you hold. Heal your body and mind, open your heart, and let go of your emotional baggage by chakra healing meditation and other meditation techniques. Your relationship with yourself and others will improve as you gain self-love, acceptance, understanding, and forgiveness.
Same as the night before, you will finish your day with a set of self-healing practices to get ready for deep rest.
Come Home to Yourself
We will begin the day with a life purpose meditation at the Mago Labyrinth. You will receive inspiration for your life here.
Through meditation and training on this day, you will finally recover the balance and harmony of body, mind, and spirit. You will feel a sense of purpose, self-value, total health, and overflowing joy from within.
Choosing the New You
The final morning’s special outdoor activities and meditations will allow you to feel “nothingness” as you let go of who you are not, and experience complete quietness, tranquility, and deep peace.
