Grand
Canyon and Sacred Peaks:
ancient connecting places between humans and spirit.
~ a personalized journey ~
We circle the
San Franciso Peaks - the highest point in Arizona - enroute to the
South Rim of the Grand Canyon in a personalized mystic connections journey. For Hopi, Navajo, Havasupai,Zuni,
Apache and other tribes, these are holy places associated with emergence,
dieties, ancestors, life giving moisture and ceremony. Mythic meanings merge with your own heightened perception of natural energies, power of place. We take moments to consciously connect with the Spirit of Place, to enter with an honoring energy so that we open communication with the resonant energy field of these ancient and modern-day places of spiritual pilgrimage.
The views come
to life as you hear of Native people's relation to this wonder of creation
and the archaeology and colorful American history. Learn of the geological Grand Staircase
which reveals one-third of the earth's evolution and the natural
history of this region. See the historic district including the Hopi House, walk a ways down the Bright Angel Trail, see the mules up close and personal at their barn. We will see a corner of Navajoland, meet Navajo artists at their land at an overlook of Little Colorado River and see an historic trading post.
"As we come into this awakening time, the powerful presence of this Womb of Mother Earth is both grounding and expansive. I know, she calls me often to come and just be."

NASA image looking into eastern gateway and Inner Basin
of the caldera of the San Francisco Peaks
which is surrounded by a crater-strewn volcanic field that last erupted
1064 AD.
It is located southeast of the Grand Canyon. Our journey takes all the way around the mountain.
Words by Zane Grey in Call
of the Canyon in 1924 still speak to us today:
"And at last Carley
realized that sun and light and stars and noon and night and
shade, all working in incesssantly and mutably over shapes
and lines and angles and surfaces too numerous and too great
for the sight of man to hold, made an ever-changing spectacle
of supreme beauty and coloful grandeur.....The superficialities
of the world shrunk to their proper significance. stronger
than the recorded deeds of saints, stronger than the eloquence
of the gifted uplifters of men, stronger than any words every
written, was the grand, brooding, sculptured aspect of nature."
 "But
just to breathe that untainted air, just to see once the boundless
open of colored sand and rock--to realize what the freedom
of eagles meant would not that have helped anyone? And with
the thought there came to Carley's quickened and struggling
mind a conception of freedom. She had not yet watched eagles,
but she now gazed out into their domain. What then must be
the effect of such environment on people whom it encompassed?
The idea stunned Carley. Would such people grow in proportion
to the nature with which they were in conflict? Hereditary
influence could not be comparable to such environment in the
shaping of character."
