Sedona Healing Retreats

I feel that Marian is very gracious in sharing her gifts. She does so in a very gentle and compassionate way, yet straight forward. I really appreciate her sense of humor, also. It helps to remind me that as seriously as I may be taking a situation, there’s a bigger picture to keep in mind, and that it’s good to step back, take some deep breaths, and laugh. My sessions with Marian provided invaluable insight about myself, as well as information that helped me to truly understand two relationships that otherwise remained painful and made no sense to me. On top of offering this insight, Marian also gave me some tools (well, actually made me aware of what I can do on my own from within) to help keep me in a peaceful and calm place. I am so grateful for how she has helped me in ways that words just can’t describe.

This retreat was a great program and way better than I expected.  I learned so many important things.  The workshops provided so many great points to incorporate into my life.  I really enjoyed the hike/climb up Bell Rock that pushed me to do what I thought I couldn’t.  The retreat totally changed my way of thinking about myself.

You both have such big and open hearts and your own spiritual beliefs were constant reminders to me of what I wanted to gain and heal from this experience. You made me feel perfectly comfortable and relaxed. You give so many blessings to others. I also appreciated the great outdoor adventures. Thank you for a very special week.

My retreat experience was more than I could have hoped for. All the workshops were wonderful and gave me so much to practice. The Grand Canyon experience was awesome! I learned that everything is in Divine Order. There are no words to describe how well my expectations were met.

The workshops were all so great. Marian & Garrett are so knowledgeable and compassionate. It changed my life!

Thank you for a healing, Spirit-filled and adventurous week. We thank God for being led here. We wish you love, peace and blessings in all you do!

I loved everything about this experience! The genuine care and compassion was deeply felt and the organization of the week was perfect. The workshop lessons were at a heart level and was just what I needed. I loved the hikes and the awesome scenery of Sedona and the Grand Canyon, they were amazing and spiritual. The retreat exceeded all my expectations. The best parts were Marian and Garrett!

Thank you for your help on my healing journey. You two are beautiful! The retreat was fantastic, with loving, patient and knowledgeable teachers.

Marian and Garrett are amazing Spirit guides. They gently and intuitively helped me acknowledge places I’ve been holding back and struggling. The insight gained on this retreat will have lasting impact on the shape of my life for years to come. Grateful beyond measure to have found them. I recommend Western Spirit 100% without reservation, if you are looking for a powerful and joyful retreat.

To rate the week’s experience a 3 (great) is not a strong enough rating. Everything was so perfect and I learned so much. Marian & Garrett are gifts to this planet! Marian is an amazing intuitive teacher who makes the workshops so special and unique. Garrett is so knowledgeable about the outdoors and local history; a true cowboy. He is an inspiration and joy to be around and everyone is positively affected. The workshops and outdoor activities were perfect and my soul is grinning from ear to ear. I plan on carrying Western Spirit with me forever!

This retreat was life-changing and way more than I imagined and expected. The workshops were very well done and the outdoor activities a lot of fun and inspiring. My heart is full and my soul is open. I learned that I always have the power to choose self-love.

You have made us both very happy. The retreat was very intimate and personal. It far exceeded our expectations.

Marian and Garrett both have beautiful hearts and are so thoughtful and committed to helping people heal. The retreat was so much better than I expected. All the workshops are very well planned and I appreciated the summary handouts at the end. I believe this retreat is going to change my life!

The week spent with you and nature was wonderful! You are both so giving and inspirational. I learned a lot and I’ll never forget this retreat.

Thank you Marian & Garrett for a wonderful week. The retreat was very well thought out and totally beyond my expectations.  Thank you for your wisdom, Marian.  All your workshops were very informative and I learned a lot from each one.  And I really enjoyed all the outdoor adventures and just loved being in nature.

I loved all the workshops and learned to choose love over fear and trust my intuition. The retreat far exceeded my expectations and the outdoor activities were so much fun.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and your lives with me. I’ve had a wonderfully healing and relaxing time here.

Marian and Garrett were both super fantastic and inspirational! Every workshop was spiritually uplifting and provided the highest vibration. The outdoor adventures were wonderful and Garrett was extremely knowledgeable. Our best “vacation” ever! The retreat was “over the top”, like winning at the casino.

I knew I was suppose to meet you on my trip through the USA, so I can continue my spiritual journey and expand on all the wisdom and insights you provided me. What a great week!

You two are a wonderful and beautiful couple. I enjoyed everything about the retreat. Exceeded all my expectations.

What a warm, loving environment with great hosts, safe and inviting workshops, and unbelievable, wonderful and exciting activities! You gave me the tools and the power to heal myself.

Thank you so much for an amazing week of light and love! It was awesome and perfect. The “Choosing Love over Fear” workshop provides us with a great foundation. Marian is so intuitive. Her guided meditations were awesome!

Many times when we interact with someone, we do not know how we touch or change their lives. This was the moment; the right time, the right place, the right people. The ripple of your touches will echo throughout the universe. Thank you for an awesome week!

I spent a week in retreat at Western Spirit in 2006 and Marian helped me a great deal after my divorce. I also had the pleasure of recently spending another day with Marian for a healing session. She helped me get to the core of my issues and find clarity on what path I wished to take next. My time spent with Marian helped me to get grounded. Her healing energy and spirit are absolutely wonderful!

The retreat was outstanding, as were all the workshops. I learned forgiveness, manifestation and how to connect spiritually. The Grand Canyon visit and the hiking on Bell Rock were amazing. Everything was over and above my expectations!

Thank you both for sharing and for helping me remember who I am. These are truly remarkable gifts and nourishment for the soul you offer in love.

Thank you for the opportunity to learn, share and grow. You are an inspiration and will not be forgotten. Much love to you both!

The retreat was a great balance of spiritual, mental, physical and emotional parts. Marian’s workshops were practical and very insightful. We loved the Bell Rock climb and it was very empowering. We learned new tools and ways to break negative patterns and communicate better. This retreat far exceeded our mutual expectations.

The retreat was very real and intimate. You have both made me very happy. . .exceeded all my expectations.

My retreat was the best. I learned so much from both of you (Marian & Garrett), from your workshops, and from your relationship with each other (and your dog, Bella). The workshops took me through a spiritual awakening. The beauty of Sedona and the Grand Canyon was breathtaking and I felt such gratitude for being there. I learned that love is pure, simple and warm.  It was such a great week!

The retreat was a fantastic, unforgettable experience I will cherish forever. Thank you for everything. Marian & Garrett are amazing people and a great couple. The week went by so fast and far exceeded my expectations.

Your simplicity and humbleness are so refreshing. You both consistently exude love. I have a new understanding of spirituality and love.

From the very beginning it is clear that Marian and Garrett want to create a retreat experience that is personal and meaningful for each attendee.  I am totally grateful to you both for giving me and my friends a wonderful experience.  Thank you, Marian, for your flexibility with the workshops and it was amazing how you tied them together to give me the insight I needed to help me face some obstacles on my journey.  Garrett was very patient, kind and encouraging during our outdoor adventures.  Climbing Bell Rock was an amazing, unique experience for me.  I came in with an open mind, but if I had any expectations, they were blown away.  The balance of the “mind” activities of the workshops and the physical outdoor activities was perfect!  My Spirit led me to your website and she guided me perfectly.

I can truly say from the bottom of my heart how much I enjoyed my stay here. Everything was fabulous, fun, interesting and wonderfully intuitive. I am truly grateful!

The retreat was very eye-opening and an experience I can take home with me and apply every day. The workshops helped me get more in tune with myself. The outdoor activities were awesome and wonderful! I learned to breathe through my feelings and that I don’t always have to be in “warrior” mode. My expectations for this week-long retreat were greatly exceeded.

I would certainly return again. It exceeded all my expectations.

Maggie Sep. 2019 CO

We enjoyed the personal and individual attention of the retreat.  It was great getting to know Marian and Garrett.  I enjoyed all the hiking and the specific information from Garrett.  This retreat far exceeded my expectations!

This eye-opening week was everything I hoped it would be, full of self discovery. Marian is so knowledgeable and I learned so much from every workshop. Thank you both!

An amazing experience! I accomplished all I came for – and so much more. The workshops were great. The retreat far exceeded all my expectations.

From my first email inquiry to making my reservation deposit, they answered all my questions. Their website was full of all the answers I needed to make a decision. Marian’s gifts and experience with the workshops provided me the perfect opportunity for my personal growth. Garrett’s knowledge and insights enhanced the outdoor experiences so much. Saying “thank you” doesn’t seem adequate enough for how much my life has positively changed through five days with Marian and Garrett!

The retreat was an intimate, personal, powerful and flexible experience. I truly enjoyed it and felt a strong spiritual connection throughout. The workshops were so inspiring and engaging. I enjoyed the physical outdoor experiences in the beauty of Sedona. I learned to honor my feelings and trust my intuition.  This retreat far exceeded my expectations!

Marian & Garrett are such wonderful, thoughtful, fun and joyous people!  This retreat was just what I needed.  The workshops flowed well and tied into each other nicely.  I loved the Bell Rock climb (couldn’t have done it without Garrett) and the Grand Canyon hike.  Garrett’s knowledge of everything really added to the adventures.  I loved the nature and always felt safe.  I learned the importance of self-love and that everything i s always in Divine Order.

We learned so much and brought back so many things to incorporate more fully into our lives. You helped us remember how near we are to the Source of all things and about the abundance of Spirit. Thank you for helping us grow in Spirit, truth and love, for a healing retreat and a nourishing vacation, and for following your dream!

This has been a wonderful, eye-opening, humbling, constructive and fun week. You do a great job! Marian creates a very safe environment for the workshops and I loved the visits to Bell Rock and the Grand Canyon.

I thought I came for one thing, but I left with so much more! I released a lot of pain and made room for joy and love. This retreat taught me so much! Thank you both for the love, healing and laughter!

Thank you for showing me my path to happiness and fulfillment lies within and for the spiritual healing you brought me.

Thank you so much for such a special week. I loved every minute I was there; it was the perfect mix of spirituality and excitement. Everything was so diverse, interesting and fun, with the best massage I’ve ever had! I learned so much from the workshops and I’m excited about putting everything into practice. Thank you both for all you gave and shared with me. I learned so much, especially how rich my life is.

We were really impressed with your organization and attention to detail. Our favorite workshop was “Experiencing Enchanted Love” and the ideas we received will help our relationship continue to grow. We appreciated everything, the week was excellent, the hospitality exceptionally wonderful!

I loved the retreat and it was great to be back here.  All the workshops were great, as usual.  I learned to let go ands be more open, to choose love over fear.

The week was a great way for us to become grounded as we look to our future together. We loved all the workshops, but our favorites were “Strengthening Your Relationships” and “Listening With Your Heart”. Our greatest lesson was that we co-create with God.

The retreat felt tailored to me specifically. The workshops were great and Marian’s energy, knowledge, insight and love really helped me. They really made me think and look within. Loved the visuals and handouts. Garrett’s knowledge of the area was impressive and his stories enjoyable. Our expectations were met and the retreat brought us closer together.

Thank you both for one of the most special weeks of my life. The beauty of Arizona, the outdoor activities in nature, the workshops and your strong sense of spirituality were a perfect combination. Sedona is such a perfect place for healing. I truly loved all the adventurous activities we did. Nothing can beat the Grand Canyon tour, but the trip to Bell rock and all the fun activities were my favorites.

I really enjoyed the retreat. Learned the A B C’s of accept, breathe, communicate. The Grand Canyon was awesome and inspiring.

Everything was wonderful! You have helped me see my blessings. I am a stronger and happier person thanks to the blessings and lessons I received from you.

Thank you, thank you! The week was epic. . .it was everything I needed.

Angela Mar. 2019 FL

“Thank you” hardly seems like enough for all you’ve given me. I am truly grateful to you for opening my eyes and my heart.

The retreat was amazing. I loved the workshops, very helpful, truthful and honest. Garrett is an awesome outdoor guide. I learned to be grounded and to recognize my power. I would 100% come back and recommend to everyone.

Everything was fantastic. I learned so much, to just breathe and relax. It far exceeded all my expectations!

I feel more enlightened and very awake, aware and more connected. This retreat was so much more than I expected. The workshops were so great and the outdoor activities perfect! I learned that I am the power of love and not a victim of fear.

The retreat was much greater and richer than I expected. The workshops were so important to my healing and the outdoor activities were fun and exciting; the Grand Canyon hike amazing! I learned to breathe, to feel and to love myself unconditionally. This retreat far surpassed my expectations.

There are some things you do in life that you know you’ll never be the same afterwards; this is truly one of them! The week was incredibly powerful and enlightening.

I enjoyed every second and learned so much while on this retreat. The workshops are so educational and engaging. I learned to trust and love myself. It was even more amazing than I expected. Marian is an angel!

The Universe was in Divine Order when I was directed to you. You have changed my life forever! I am eternally grateful for your healing guidance and love. I will recommend Western Spirit to everyone I know.

I learned so much from your enlightening workshops and will take those lessons with me wherever I go. Every experience was amazing! Thank you so much for making my dream come true!

What a beautiful, amazing, eye-opening experience. The workshops were fantastic, honest and safe. Visiting the Bell Rock vortex and the Grand Canyon were amazing.  What a connection with nature! We learned to take more time to love, trust, establish boundaries and release what does not serve us.

Words fail to express how transformational and life-giving this Sedona retreat experience with Marian & Garrett was for me! They provided a balance of workshops and learning mixed with outdoor excursions and activities. Marian and Garrett were well organized, deeply committed to the growth and wellness of the participants, and offered a safe and welcome space for me to embrace precisely what was needed in my life. Our group for the week was PHENOMENAL! Comprised of all different backgrounds and demographics, coming from all over the world…yet brought together by Divine order. We bonded immediately through our shared energy and the common threads woven through our stories. I’m already eagerly anticipating our group reunion with Garrett and Marian next year in Tuscany!

Thank you so much for an outstanding retreat. I could not have asked for more. Every aspect of the week was fantastic. The workshops were great! Activities were stunning!

With sincere gratitude for helping me see all the possibilities within myself. I learned so much and feel an overall sense of peace. Your retreats are loving, humorous, personal and very safe that allows for healing. You have a true gift Marian, and Garrett, thank you for your jokes, stories and local history. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your hospitality and the wonderful experience. We both thoroughly enjoyed this retreat.

I loved the workshops and the Grand Canyon especially. The week was way above my expectations!

Western Spirit Enrichment Center is an amazing place and offers great programs! We learned so much that we can take into the world and share with others. We had a great retreat and it far exceeded our expectations.  We highly recommend this!

I have no doubt about Marian’s intuition and clairvoyance. But even more, she seems to do everything from a place of love and generosity. If she has a mission in life, it is to shine light on everything and everyone she touches. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone in need of spiritual healing or guidance. It will be one of the most uplifting and enjoyable things you’ll ever do.

The week was fantastic and amazing! Loving, patient and knowledgeable teachers. You both are beautiful and I thank the Universe for connecting us.

My retreat experience went above and beyond my expectations. I received so much knowledge from the both of you. I feel a great hope and joy in my soul thanks to you  both. I can’t wait to continue what I’ve started. Marian is so intuitive and taught what I needed to hear. And I loved Garrett’s knowledge. The beauty of the hikes in the Grand Canyon and on Bell Rock were unlike anything else I’ve experienced.

This retreat was so inspiring and I felt welcomed immediately. The workshops completely changed my outlook and my soul, and the outdoor activities brought new beauty and revelations. Marian and Garrett are my new life-long friends!

The retreat week was such an incredible experience, one that will be with me for the rest of my life. Thank you for being a part of my spiritual journey. The workshops were amazing and helped me see myself more clearly and what I need to heal. Sedona and the Grand Canyon are breathtaking and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My retreat was so much better than I expected and the combination of the workshops and outdoor adventures was amazing.

My intuition could never have been more right when I was drawn to your retreat center. I leave with a new direction in life, trusting Spirit. I am love and light.

The best thing we ever did for ourselves. We learned so much about relationships in the workshops and also letting go of past traumas. The outdoor activities were awesome! I enjoyed the togetherness, beauty and laughter so much. The retreat far exceeded our expectations.  We shall miss you!

OMG! Where do I begin? This retreat far surpassed my expectations! I am so grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was so down to earth, taught full of wisdom and very well planned out. The workshops were all top notch and made me feel safe. And I love your Aussie, Bella.

We had a great time at the retreat and learned a lot from everyone. The outdoor activities were wonderful, especially the trails at Cathedral Rock.  The Grand Canyon hike was awesome!  We weren’t sure what to expect, but it was a very happy week.  The “Choosing love over fear” workshop gave us an entirely new way of looking at things, realizing what is important to us.  They were all quite insightful.

Thank you for graciously hosting what has turned out to be a most memorable and spirit-filled week. Your work, warmth and humor have been a blessing to me. I return to New York rejuvenated. Keep up the work that God has called you to do.

Where do I begin to thank you both for all the peace, love and joy I take back home with me? Thank you for opening up your hearts and sharing your gifts with me.

The retreat was the perfect combination of very enlightening workshops and excellent outdoor activities. Garrett has a wealth of outdoor knowledge and Marian was very supportive in the workshops. I was blown away by the week!

Thank you for your wonderful hospitality in a loving environment of safety and trust. The retreat was very caring, supportive and well organized.

I was looking for an experience that not only focused on my mind , body and soul but also incorporated getting back in touch with nature. My experience at Western Spirit was just what I needed. The morning workshops were with Marian, who has great wisdom in many areas of self-discovery. The other amazing experience of this trip was to have all of the outdoor adventures that were led by Garrett. His knowledge of the area and the history and stories he would tell made the time very special. He is full of energy and loves giving back and connecting with people from all over the world. The week far exceeded my expectations!

We are grateful for our visit here which has made us more enlightened, more joyful, more centered and more committed. We shall be forever blessed by this experience. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and the light of your spirit with us.

My experience here was amazing! What I’m walking away with is priceless. Marian, what a gentle spirit you are and what a gift of intuition you have. Gary, you are a gentleman, scholar, cowboy, story-teller and comedian. Peace and blessings to you both always!

I am grateful for the experiences, friendships and growth. You provide a service unlike any other. Please continue to do your hearts’ work; we need it.

This week was an amazing experience and hard to find adequate words to describe it. I learned I am strong and must trust my intuition. The retreat far exceeded my expectations.

All the workshops were great and complimented each other.  Marian was wonderful and did a great job tailoring them to us and our needs.  I enjoyed all the hikes and being able to push myself to a higher level.

I thought it was the perfect mix of wonderful workshops and outdoor activities. This retreat was the perfect launching pad for my spiritual journey. The workshops were informative and the beauty of Sedona awesome. Thank you for sharing your gifts with me!

I thoroughly enjoyed my retreat.  It was just what I needed at the time.  So many blessings in the workshop lessons.

Honestly, I can’t say enough about Western Spirit. The week was such a positive experience that I will hold forever in my heart. I hope to return again someday. This week I learned to always choose love over fear. I am forever grateful to Marian & Garrett.

Thank you both for sharing your love, energy and wisdom. I am very grateful for this retreat experience and the opportunity to know the two of you in this lifetime. Garrett, thanks for sharing your knowledge and trivia of Sedona. The retreat far exceeded my expectations!

The retreat was excellent and exceeded my expectations; it was so positive.  So glad I chose this retreat and I’m very grateful and happy to have met Marian and Garrett.  It was such an enlightening experience!  The workshops were “right up my alley”.  The views from our hike up Bell Rock were breath-taking! Everything was excellent!

It was a fabulous experience, far exceeding our expectations! The outdoor activities were incredible and awe inspiring. We learned to always choose love.

We had one of the most wonderful and important times here for us as a couple. The significance of what you offer is the greatest value I could ever imagine giving another person.

I think I got what I came for and for that I am grateful! I’ve really enjoyed the classes, the hikes and the new friendships. My sincere thanks to Marian and Garrett. Blessings to you both.

Meeting you and spending the week at Western Spirit was a true gift. You both have a beautiful spirit. I will always remember this vacation retreat and my spirit is forever thankful!

It was a wonderful experience and great memories. From the moment I met you both I felt safe, comfortable and welcomed. Thank you so much for helping me on my spiritual path.

It was undoubtedly a transformative week! I’m very grateful for the connections I’ve made and the tools I have learned. The workshops were awesome and Cathedral Rock so beautiful. I loved everything. Thank you both so much!

The retreat facilitators are amazing and very connected to Creator Source and the land here. Enlightening would best describe Marian’s workshops. I could spend even more time together here.

Garrett & Marian enusred a personal touch and bonding with the group. Thanks for making me feel so welcome. It was an awesome journey and experience!

I learned so much at this retreat. You made me feel safe and comfortable. It was a great experience and I learned so much about myself and my relationships. The beauty and energy of Sedona is wonderful and Garrett did a great job leading us around. The love and kindness you shared with us was above and beyond my expectations. This week’s guidance will live on with me forever. I look forward to staying in touch with you both.

The retreat was great and perfect.  Just what I needed.  Marian and Garrett are so fun-loving – the dynamic duo!  Marian’s workshops are presented with love and kindness, filled with intuition and knowledge.  Safety – value – power!  Choose love!

It was such an amazing experience. I’m glad I followed my intuition and found this retreat.

The week far exceeded my expectations! I absolutely loved my experience at Western Spirit. It was truly a life-changing experience. What you both do is so very special, a gift from God. I could not have wanted my 50th birthday trip to be any other way! And Bella, your Aussie, was an added bonus.

You have given me my life back and opened my eyes to the love and joy that was in me and lost. I wouldn’t feel it if it wasn’t for your joy, happiness, spirituality and compassion.

The retreat was absolutely great and I felt so comfortable immediately. I learned to focus on myself and be gentle and trust myself. The workshops were perfect and I’m glad Marian was able to tailor them to our group.

After I returned home my approach to life completely changed. I can’t even begin to express the gratitude that I feel for you both for the truth that you awakened in me. My relationships with my partner, friends and family have significantly changed and improved. I am completely at peace with myself now. I now take life moment to moment and it is a wonderful journey. With your help, my stay at Western Spirit has completely changed my life for the better. I like to call it my rebirth. I mention your retreat center to everyone who asks what has enabled me to change. God bless you both for the guidance you offer people.

The retreat was a wise investment of time and money that I consider well spent. The entire experience was a great balance of valuable workshops and outdoor activities. The vortex hike around Bell Rock was so peaceful for me. I learned to accept what is in my life and give myself grace.

On a scale of 1 to 10, this retreat is a 10! I experienced a great sense of renewal – spiritually, emotionally, mentally and of gratitude. Marian’s workshops are very deep and powerful, and she provides a very personal involvement of commitment and leadership. I loved Garrett’s hikes, knowledge of local history and storytelling. Marian and Garrett “knocked” this retreat out of the park. I feel so blessed to have met both of you and to have shared in such a rich, awakening, heart-warming experience! Thank you for the gift of yourselves. I will always be grateful.

The retreat was enlightening and everything I hoped for. I look forward to using the tools I learned in the workshops. The Living in Balance & Harmony workshop taught me about self-love. The outside meditation was awesome.

The entire week’s experience was way beyond our expectations. You opened our hearts to knowing Spirit and ourselves in ways we never thought possible. You have taught us so much about love, acceptance, caring, challenge, and laughter. Thank you, thank you!

Thank you for an incredible retreat and fabulous week. We’ll keep living in the moment and never stop laughing.

Thank you for all the spiritual and outdoor guidance and hospitality.  In the workshops Marian was caring, funny and intuitive, and her handouts to take home were very helpful. I loved the background information from Garrett about the Sedona area and history, and the Grand Canyon, Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock. I learned to pay attention to all four aspects of my life, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual. This retreat met all my expectations!

Thank you for your insights, your warmth, your love and your sharing. We had a wonderful experience at the couples retreat and we know we will apply much from your workshops. Many blessings to you both!

I completely enjoyed this spiritual experience very much.  I loved the combination of the workshops, meditations and outdoor activities and I really appreciated Marian’s gentleness and presentation of the workshop information.  The “Choose love over fear” workshop gave me the awareness to begin making life changes by choosing love.  My first visit to the Grand Canyon was excellent!  I really needed this retreat experience and it far exceeded my expectations!

The two of you made us feel welcomed and enveloped in love and happiness! The workshops were awesome and Marian is so gifted. The outdoor beauty of Sedona and the Grand Canyon was beyond words. We enjoyed the entire retreat journey for the new beginning of our healing work.

The retreat was very good; you put your heart into your work and made it the best. Marian has exceptional skills with the workshops, with a warm, personal approach. The outdoor activities were well-organized and interesting. Our expectations were well exceeded.

When I signed up, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew I was broken and at a low point in my life. I’ve just finished the week with Garrett and Marian and feel so much better. I gave this retreat my undivided attention. I listened, spoke, wept, hiked, and pushed myself. I leave here tomorrow a new man. I have a lot of work to do, but know I can do this . . . and will. They fixed me. I am so grateful!

Although the combination of spirituality, kind people and nature made the spiritual retreat so special, it was the workshops that had the most impact on me. I can’t tell you how impressed I was with them. The atmosphere you set provided me with a safe and spiritual environment that gave me the security to examine my fears and get clarity on what I want and where I’m trying to go.

It was a fantastic experience, something for the mind, body and soul, taught with warmth and love. Thank you for everything.

Thank you Marian and Garrett for an outstanding week. The couples workshops were very informative and helpful. Marian is a gifted teacher. Great experience!

Wonderful experience. The workshops were extremely helpful. I highly recommend Western Spirit

I am speechless after this incredible week. It was incredible! Thank you both so much!

On my seemingly endless quest for happiness and peace, Spirit guided me to you and I am ever so grateful. What a wonderful retreat!

The retreat was all I hoped it would be, a good balance of workshops with emotional and spiritual work, while enjoying the beauty of Sedona and the Grand Canyon. I got a lot more out of the workshops than I was expecting. I now have the tools to connect with and develop the Spirit within me.

There is wisdom, beauty and grace in this place and in both of you. My life will never be the same. Thank you so much.

The gifts you have given me are nothing short of miraculous. Thank you for sharing your love and light with the world.

Marian & Garrett are a wonderful, beautiful couple. I enjoyed everything about the week’s retreat and it far exceeded my expectations.

Christine Sep. 2019 CA

I made the right decision to come to Western Spirit’s retreat. The workshop “Choosing Love Over Fear” provided a strong foundation for the week and I found myself coming back to it often. I loved the non-judgmental support and leadership. I am so grateful to have met both of you.

I can’t begin to tell you how much this week meant to me; spiritually, emotionally, and physically. I was “blown away”. What wonderful hosts you are! Thank you for all the thoughtful, kind, and gracious opportunities to learn that you provided me, and for the whole wonderful experience.

The workshops were powerful and amazing, with the information delivered with love and kindness. I learned to feel all my emotions and be honest with myself and those I love. The retreat exceeded all my expectations.

This was a great, well thought out retreat with extremely intuitive facilitators (who had a great sense of humor). The workshops were beautifully taught and we learned more tools and understanding than through previous therapy. The week was exactly what we had hoped for and definitely overshot our expectations.

The week was great from start to finish, a wonderful experience for mind and soul. It was a wonderful week, exactly what I needed. You provided me with the tools I need to continue to grow. Sedona is absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed every one of the outdoor activities.

Thank you both so very much. I tried not to have any expectations, but you more than exceeded all of them! Marian is a wonderful teacher and presents everything very well. I enjoyed Sedona’s outdoors and Garrett’s commentaries. This week I learned to breathe, to meditate and to follow my intuition.

Thank you both for blessing me with the best week I’ve had in years. Your spiritual retreat has met my every expectation and gone beyond it. You are both inspirations. Thank you for opening your hearts to me and making me feel very comfortable and accepted each day.

Thank you for bringing Spirit more fully present within us. The couples’ workshops and adventures were great and will aid us significantly.

I am blessed to have shared the week with you. You have made my journey that much more exciting. I really can’t quite express my gratitude for both of you and the work you do. Marian is such a bright light and full of love. And Garrett is so knowledgeable and passionate about nature and Sedona. I knew right after our introductions that I would grow and see and feel all of what I needed this week. I understand now that we are all one. Thank you for sharing your love and light. May our paths cross often!

You are both absolute inspirations to me as I continue my journey. Thank you for your guidance, honesty, knowledge and hospitality. This was surely my best vacation ever!

I really enjoyed the sessions with Marian. I learned I am stronger than I give myself credit for and I am not alone.

Marian is so thoughtful, compassionate and knowledgeable in the workshops and Garrett was great with the outdoor activities in Sedona and the Grand Canyon. I learned that I create my life through my thoughts, words, feelings and actions. The retreat certainly met my expectations.

I enjoyed the whole retreat. Too short! My soul was moved and awakened by the Grand Canyon. All the workshops were very good.

A very positive experience, the retreat was great and the workshops were outstanding and enlightening. Everything was beautiful and the activities were excellent and a lot of fun.

The combination of workshops and outdoor activities was perfect and so beneficial to me.  The workshop lessons were eye-opening and given with love.  Marian’s presentation of the workshops was spectacular and very beneficial for me.  I enjoyed all the beautiful outdoor activities, but the Grand Canyon was the most memorable.  This retreat met my expectations on everything.  I would highly recommend Marian and Garrett.  Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

What a gift you both are. I am truly grateful God placed me in your path. What an enlightening week!

Thank you so much for a wonderful week. My spiritual growth has been amazing!

Because of Marian’s gifted teaching, I am able to grow and expand spiritually so much. The entire week was a vanilla & chocolate ice cream sundae with a cherry on top! It was so special!

Everything was fantastic. I learned to love and trust myself above all else. The Balance & Harmony workshops was the best.

This retreat was a great balance between the workshops and the outdoors. Marian’s workshops built on what I’m learning in other courses. Garret’s knowledge of the area and its history is exceptional. I would definitely recommend this retreat to others and would enjoy doing it again.

It was a wonderful retreat! We truly appreciate all the heart and effort that you put into all your workshops. They were all great, especially the intuition and relationship ones.

An incredible an invaluable experience with connections for a lifetime! The retreat far exceeded my expectations. The workshops were amazing, safe and healing, and the outdoor places we visited were so beautiful and so much fun. Garrett is quite the knowledgeable guide. I will stay in touch!
