A Retreat for Caregivers, Overdoers, Overlovers, and Overhelpers

Reconnect and Rejuvenate

Sedona, AZ – Sacred Land of Transformation

Have you reached that point?

The one where exhaustion feels like a constant companion, where giving all the time has become second nature, and you can’t remember the last time you took a real break just for yourself.

You always give, always do, and always love a little too much, but somewhere along the way, you forgot about YOU.

You need this. It’s time to step away, refuel, and remember what it feels like to be fully restored. That’s exactly what this retreat promises - a chance to finally reconnect with yourself, away from all the demands.

The Sedona Retreat brought me healing and peace that my soul needed so very badly. I left having a renewed spirit and a deep love and respect for my fellow attendees.

Why I’m the One to Guide You on This Journey?

I understand … I’ve been in that cycle myself.

For years, I prioritized others at the expense of my own well-being, until I realized that running on empty was affecting me, body and soul.

My journey taught me the critical balance between caring for others and caring for myself, a lesson I’m passionate about sharing.

With over 40 years in the spiritual world, I’ve helped thousands through their own transformations.

I know how empowering it is to move from depletion to strength, from overwhelm to harmony.

This retreat, inspired by my own healing journey, is designed to help you reclaim your energy, heal your heart, and live a more joyful, fulfilled life.

The best part of the retreat was the entire retreat!! I thank you and cannot express the gratitude for the healing and energy work done that you had everyone do to help me. I felt blessed and grateful and felt so much love. I loved everything about the retreat! The dancing, the energy work, the love exercises and breathing as one exercise was amazing. ~GB

Thank you so much to Sunny for an amazing experience in the breathtaking environment of Sedona, AZ. It is so amazing to me the amount of deep healing that can take place in such a short amount of focused time. I have made so many true friends and soul connections with complete strangers in a completely unconditional loving environment. I truly enjoyed every moment of the retreat and can’t wait until the next one. ~CR

This is my 3rd retreat with Sunny and each retreat has provided me with a much clearer perspective on the work in which I am in need of doing. Sunny has a special gift of allowing Spirit to work through her and guide her as to what is being called forth within that moment. If you are wanting to learn more about the essence of which you are, if you are wanting to connect with others who are on their spiritual journey, and if you are wanting to remember just how important our connection is to one another – then you must join us on the next retreat to help nourish your soul!! ~LH

Sunny – What an amazing journey!! There are no words to describe the beautiful experience you created this weekend! I cannot thank you enough for the new-found friendships, the closeness to Spirit and the wonderful insight I received on a personal level. Your angelic guidance rocketed us into another dimension…THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I will definitely be back for more!! ~MC

It was perfect and the best weekend I have ever had and I will never forget it! I wrote in my journal every day to keep the memories of the weekend (Which is a first!) and I love all the work and energy that you put into everything you teach to us! I will attend every retreat!! Thank you so much Sunny for the best weekend ever! Love you. ~RC

I really didn’t know what to expect and was pleased at how each exercise touched on a different experience that I found to be very enlightening. RETREAT is the key word here. It was wonderful not to have any responsibilities for a while and also know that I would not be judged if I did something foolish. However, I was surprised at how healing most of the exercises were so that was probably the best part! ~MT

The Sedona Healing Retreat has been life changing for me. On the first night at the retreat, when I was asked why I was there, I told a group of strangers that I was feeling more broken than I have ever felt in my whole life. Over the next few days I cried more in front of these people than I had in years. They were so incredibly loving, supportive and kind and will always be the most amazing group of women I have ever been with. I went from having severe chronic pain and feeling like I was a lab rat put in a maze trying to figure out how to get out by the medical community, to finding my way out of the maze and having the feeling of being completely broken removed. There is so much pure LOVE at this retreat from the people that attend with you, Sunny, and her amazing staff. I will forever be grateful for this experience, the tools that were given to me to practice letting go of the negative and bringing in pure love to my life as I live in the moment and ask my angels for guidance.
Hugs, light and love to you all!!! ~AC

I can’t wait to do it again! I have been following SDJ for several years and this was my first in-person event. When I saw it was near me, I decided to go before I even knew the focus – it was amazing! Being guided through and sharing such a range of experiences had a significant impact on me. Having the focus of the class follow the energy of the room had a profound impact – even when we needed a do over. Being able to share this experience with your great team and such a wide array of women – that added to my learning – has me looking forward to my next opportunity to join you! See you then! ~SH
