Sedona Called Me, and It Changed My Life!
Hi Friend!
Several years ago, I thought I had it all—a successful career, a high-level income, and a glamorous jet-set lifestyle. But deep down, I began to sense something was missing. The parties, the travel, the achievements—none of it filled the growing void within me. Slowly but surely, I felt a pull in an entirely new direction, one I couldn’t yet fully understand. That pull led me to explore spirituality, the mysteries of the universe, and the power of energy and frequency.
It was during this time that Sedona appeared on my radar—a place renowned for its powerful vortexes and transformative energy. Though I wasn’t sure what to expect, a quiet but persistent voice within urged me: “Go.”
From the moment I arrived, I felt it—a deep, indescribable sense of excitement and wonder. It’s hard to put into words, but the energy of the land was undeniable. I could feel its sacred power coursing through me, awakening something I hadn’t realized was asleep.
Over the course of just a few days, I experienced profound healing, clarity, and connection. I discovered parts of myself I didn’t know were there, and returned home feeling whole, inspired, and truly alive.
Sedona didn’t just touch my life—it transformed it. And now, I’m honored to invite you to experience the magic of this sacred land for yourself. Whether you’re seeking healing, clarity, or simply a deeper connection to yourself, Sedona has something extraordinary to offer.
Hope you can join us!

What People Are Saying
CYNTHIA: “My recent trip to Sedona with Behind the Lids was nothing short of transformational. Nestled among the red rocks, I found myself held in a sacred container where deep healing, divine connection, and spiritual renewal were not just possible—they were inevitable. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this was more than a retreat; it was a pilgrimage into the heart of the self. The land itself whispered ancient wisdom, and the facilitators curated a space where I felt safe, seen, and spiritually supported to do the inner work I was called there to do. Each day offered moments of profound insight—whether through breathwork, sacred ceremony, or simply sitting in silence with nature. I felt layers shed that I didn’t even know I was carrying. I was reminded of who I truly am: not the roles I play or the stories I’ve lived, but the essence beneath it all—whole, radiant, and deeply connected to Source. One of the most powerful aspects was the sense of community. We laughed, we wept, we held space for one another, and in doing so, we became mirrors of healing and reflection. I left Sedona changed. Not in the dramatic, external sense—but in the most important way: more anchored in my truth, more open to love, and more committed than ever to living a life of presence, purpose, and power. If you’re feeling the nudge to go deeper, to remember who you are, and to return home to yourself, I cannot recommend Behind the Lids and their Sedona experience enough. It is a journey of the soul—and one I will cherish always.”
ERIC: “If I could give BTL’s 2025 Sedona Retreat 10 out of 10 stars, I would! (x10!) I was looking for a great retreat to get back to Sedona, and man was I glad I clicked on their Instagram ad. Something about it drew me in. Mandy and David did a fantastic job of researching the perfect house to accommodate us. I felt safe and comfortable which allowed me to be open to the magic of our journey together and the magic of Sedona! From the food, to the hikes, the breathwork meditations, the plant medicine, the sharing of our experiences with each other…it couldn’t have been more perfect! Everything flowed! The four days felt like one huge, long day after I got back to LA. And to me, that means it couldn’t have been any better! Lifelong memories and lifelong friends are the beautiful result of this powerful yet intimate retreat. I was also searching for answers to the next steps of my life, but what I found was the “REAL” me. And for that, I will forever be honored & grateful for this experience. Much love Mandy & David!”
MERVE: “I signed up for the Sedona Retreat without knowing much about the organization or the people attending, but it turned out to be an incredible journey. I met kind, humble, and loving individuals—many of whom I now consider friends. I’m so grateful to have found this place. Mandy and David are truly supportive and compassionate souls, and I’m thankful there are people like them doing such meaningful healing work. It’s a beautiful community to be part of! I highly recommend anyone to take a class and experience it yourself!”
JUDI: “The 2025 Sedona Retreat was magical, wonderful, joyful, and best of all the people and the land will forever be in my heart. Thank you Behind the Lids for providing this most outstanding experience!”
