Thursday, October 22, join the community for a day out.

  • Exploring the Sedona area.
  • Car-pooling available.
  • Connection without pressure.
  • Join long-time Journeys community member and local, Eric, to explore this beautiful area of Arizona as a transition from home-life to retreat-life.
