Overview:

Choose to evoke change and movement, to create a new mythology, as you free limiting patterns and emotional-energetic stuck places with loving kindness to yourself. Reclaim fragmented parts of your soul, practice deep communion with shape shifting and solo time in nature. Rebalance with the Circle of Power/Medicine Wheel Ceremony.

I have created an integrated program that helps you open the pathways to your own soul's knowing. If this feels right, if you feel ready, I am here for you. Creator gifted me with the ability to hold space for people, to reflect back their soul's gifts in an honoring, insightful, supportive way. I help you create a safe and sacred space.

The daily sessions will provide you with feedback and insights. Your own daily practices with inner tools and nature awareness are a core part of the retreat. To get the most out of it, please clear space for this so you can turn off the cell phone and computer and really be Present with You.

The high desert landscape temples of Sedona open your heart, energize you and reflect light back to you. But your own intention and willingness to be in compassionate communion with all that you are without judgment gives wings to your journey!

Some Elements We Work With:

Shamanism for today is based on ancient principles of ecstatic union with the divine and is the worlds' oldest form of spiritual practice. Wild nature is a doorway, a direct pipeline of connection. A"shaman" is a person practiced in reading the signs, receiving and transmitting energies, and journeying in his/her spirit body to obtain information/energies needed for guidance and healing. This is a natural birthright we all have.

We journey amid landscape temples practicing extra-ordinary knowing-sensing, deep listening, observing the signs, making relationship with the rocks, plant and animal beings, deepening our sense of knowing and connection. We also journey in our spirit body to the drum for guidance, wisdom, renewed balance and to connect with spirit helpers. Experience deep soul communion in nature with solo time on your own practicing shape shifting, deep observing.

I intuitively assist you in reading signs from nature, your body, your dreams, meditations, visions and the tarot/medicine cards.

We use a variety of inner journey experiences to open your own direct soul connection for guidance and healing. Learn to do your own soul-retrieval and bring more of you home--allow more of your soul's light to shine. Practice effective daily meditation and being more present here and now and chakra clearing. We draw on wise practices from Native American and Tibetan shamanism, tracking techniques for reclaiming leaking energies, contemporary east-west self-awareness practices such as listening to what our body is telling us and letting it naturally free up stuck energies, past-life and metaphysical understandings. We will do powerful work with transforming destructive cellular memories into the Truth pathways within your nervous system.

The Circle of Power Healing Ceremony is a powerful experience of using intention, prayers, gratitude, spiritual energies, focus for your new balance. We connect with medicine helpers to assist us to release that which no longer serves and bring in a new sense of balance and to channel hands-on healing energies for ourselves and others. My spirit guides work through me on your behalf to assist you in your own healing intention.

Dreams are a direct and potent source of guidance and healing. We work with dream seeding, sensing the energy/essence of the dream, lucid dreaming. You become more and more the creator of a new dream not controlled by the mass dream of the greater culture or your own past traumas.

"Once you start to awaken, no one can ever claim you again for the old patterns. Now you realise how precious your time here is. You are no longer willing to squander your essence on undertakings that do not nourish your true self; your patience grows thin with tired talk and dead language. You see through the rosters of expectation which promise you safety and the confirmation of your outer identity. Now you are impatient for growth, willing to put yourself in the way of change. You want your work to become an expression of your gift. You want your relationship to voyage beyond the pallid frontiers to where the danger of transformation dwells. You want your God to be wild and to call you to where your destiny awaits."
John O'Donohue

Massage and energy work option here.

Yoga sessions are $15 per class (not included) but I will provide you links to schedule for the two excellent yoga studios we have here in Sedona.Classes are available every day. Your retreat schedule times can be adjusted to accommodate the yoga classes.

 

Words from Soul Journey participants:

"I’m back in my crazy NY world but with these beautiful mystic feelings from Sedona. I feel Just like a man in “The 4 Agreements” that woke up from his dream and realized he is made of lights…and people have noticed that he had changed but how…
  Only difference between me and the man is that he had to name himself to remember the dream but, for me as long as I see the Butterflies, Sun, Moon, feel the wind…I know I’m dreaming with awareness and these feelings in my heart will light up my way. It was one of the most naturally powerful spiritual journeys I ever took!!" Helen Yu, March, 2008

 

"Sandra, I would like to THANK you again very much for an amazing day of journeying within...I had so many very special "unbelievable" encounters with the Universe during this time in Arizona, both on metaphysical level when you took us through the journeys and in this physical reality...Universe is so generous with us and so "chatty." If one wants to communicate with the nature, one only needs to keep their heart open." Julia, New Zealand, July, 2006

 

"My life has been altered with the tools you've shared.  Thank you for sharing your spirit and love--it has made all the difference." Sandy, Calgary, Canada

 

"My experience with CrossingWorlds with Sandra Cosentino can be
summed up in 3 words: powerful, provoking, and profound. I came in
a deep state of confusion and fear—and left with a sense of peace and
understanding, coupled with the tools to continue the journey when I
got home. Not only did I experience Sedona in a way I never could
have as a tourist, I was able to interact with nature as a catalyst to the
spiritual journey. I learned that resistance is part of that journey—but
that the journey is worth it. I can't say it was easy, or that I was always
comfortable, but the rewards are quite remarkable. Sandra brings insight,
understanding and incredible spiritual knowledge to the experience,
while giving me an opportunity to learn more about myself and how I can
move forward into life with confidence and direction. A memorable
experience—one that I highly recommend." Irene, St. Louis. Missouri, April, 2006

 

"Thank you from my heart for helping me spread my wings to fly high as eagle to bring forth my fire to the world and to myself. I thank my lucky stars for their guiding me here--to you, our group and the Hopis--my life is much blessed." Little Cloud, Scottsdale, AZ, July, 2005

 

"It is very hard to tell you what influence you have had on me. There was been a real sense of healing from you and Sedona.  You are truly a healer, and since this path is new to me, I can only trust feelings, not having too much experience. You have a real gift, and your presence has been felt very deeply." Dot R., California

 

"When I returned home I thought all would go back to the way it was but it did not. Something had changed especially in regard to me moving through my fears. The experience I had with you was very challenging, you pushed me though boundaries and supported me but not in the way I was accustomed to. The experience of Sedona was very powerful and I want to thank you for being a very powerful facilitator." Linda, Melbourne, Austrailia

 

"I have had such an incredible journey. Thank you for the work you have done with me and for sharing your authenticity, impeccible sense of timing, honesty, trust and integrity. It has been an honor to work with a person of your knowledge and caliber." Marian, Hawaii, 2007
