The experience

The tour starts in central Sedona where you meet your guide and head by Jeep into the desert to visit one or two vortex sites. Your exact route depends on what interests you, so tell your guide upfront if there's a particular location you want to see. The guide will explain how Page Bryant identified these power grid sites in 1981, a discovery that has drawn people seeking spiritual experiences ever since.

At each vortex, you'll hike roughly a mile on uneven terrain to reach the site. The guide shares the history and cultural beliefs surrounding it (connections to Chinese medicine, American Indian lore and New Age mysticism), and explains theories about how vortexes affect Earth. Some visitors report feeling a physical sensation on their skin. Others describe sudden clarity or enlightenment. Many feel nothing at all. The point is to keep an open mind and find out what the experience means to you.

This is a hiking tour, not an off-road adventure, so the Jeep is your transport to and from the trailheads. You'll need at least moderate fitness to walk the uneven ground comfortably, and the tour is not recommended for children under 5. Bring an open perspective and be ready to think about the site differently than you might have before.
