MOST SIGNIFICANT & IMPACTFUL TRAVEL EXPERIENCE!

This retreat to Sedona is the most significant and impactful travel experience of my life!  Marian is truly gifted; any workshops led by her would be great.  She and Garrett are the essence of this spiritual experience.  The outdoor activities were beautiful and Garrett is so knowledgable.  Every day was exactly what we needed in the moment.  I honestly enjoyed the hike up Bell Rock the best, but the visit to the Grand Canyon and the hike along Oak Creek were equally great.  I learned to always ask, “What would love do?”, and to breathe.

This was a great opportunity and so important for us to grow our bond and learn tools to tend our relationship. Marian’s proficiency with the workshop material and her intuitive and joyful style was a great help to learning. We appreciated the knowledge and insights shared. We loved the Oak Creek trail hike for its gentle flowing energy and the Bell Rock vortex hike. This retreat was a superb introduction to the Sedona area and to our personal growth.

One can sense her angelic guidance…

Each time I listen to Marian’s meditation CD, One Breath, One Spirit, my breath slows down, which then helps me to slow down my thoughts. AS I listen and go deeper, my inner guidance becomes more familiar to me. Through each phrase that Marian speaks, one can sense her angelic guidance desiring to be helpful to all. Through the presence of Spirit, one can become transformed through healing and forgiveness.

Big and Open Hearts

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.

PERFECT CHOICE IN THE PERFECT LOCATION.

I became intrigued with Western Spirit after reading other reviews and recently had the opportunity to experience a phenomenal week with Marían and Garrett. They have developed the perfect blend of deeply meaningful spiritual/personal growth workshops and awe inspiring outdoor activities. Being able to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Sedona area while renewing my soul was the best gift I could have ever given myself. Marían creates a totally safe environment and our diverse group was amazing and bonded immediately. And Garrett is the perfect guide and epitome of living what Western Spirit is all about. Anyone considering a retreat need look no further!

Finding Clarity

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!

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!

Gentle and Compassionate

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.

BEST DECISION I EVER MADE FOR MYSELF.

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!

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.

IT WAS A WELCOMING & SAFE SPACE!

The retreat was a welcoming and safe space for my partner and I to explore our issues. All the workshops were extremely enjoyable and blended so well together. We learned many new tools to use for our future. Our hike up Bell Rock was great! The retreat was so enjoyable and beneficial for us both.

THANK YOU MARIAN & GARRETT FOR CHANGING MY LIFE.

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!

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.

Hands-on Healing

I experienced a hands-on healing session with Marian that was so much more than I ever expected. There were some trapped issues from over thirty years ago that Marian connected with intuitively. I could finally see how much they were affecting my life today. I trusted her completely with some very delicate matters and felt safe and comfortable in her care. The session was a key piece to helping me meet my goal to live my life “in the moment” and not be molded or attached to “what was”. This session was a life-changing experience for me!

WONDERFUL RETREAT!

This was a great retreat, just wonderful!  A nice balance of reflective learning and outdoor exploring and engagement.  The Grand Canyon trip was great.  I learned how to let go of my ego and respond without anger.  What a worthwhile experience!

MARIAN & GARRETT ARE SUCH WONDERFUL, THOUGHTFUL, FUN PEOPLE!

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.
