This is a really unique ranking that was done by the Tourism Sentiment Index and here’s how they explain the rankings:
You can read more about it on their website, but I just LOVE IT that Sedona is ranked #39. And that’s globally!!
The minute I read this it made me think of The Sedona Effect™, a term I coined in my book, “The Journey To Happy, How Embracing The Concept That Nothing Is Wrong Can Transform Your Life.” And I think the Sedona Effect is one of the reasons we are ranked so high.
Because Sedona is not just beautiful. There are lots and lots of places around the world that are beautiful. There’s something special about Sedona, something special about her energy and the impact it has on people. Specifically, the transformational impact it has on people. That’s why all these people voted that they love it – because they feel the energy.
And it’s more than just the vortex energy.
Watch my video about the Sedona effect, what it is, how it changed my life, and the impact it has on people.
The Sedona Effect can take you from where you are to where you want to be.
Since 2002, we’ve helped thousands of individuals and couples use the Sedona Effect to transform their lives and relationships. It’s real and it’s incredible.

Or if you’d prefer, call us at (928) 204-5988 or click here and one of our Retreat Guides will call you.
They’ll connect with you (or both of you, for a couples retreat) in deep conversation. Then they’ll custom design the perfect retreat for you, working with our Master Practitioners here in beautiful, mystical Sedona, utilizing the powerful vortex energy to take you from where you are to where you want to be.

This past week an amazing person crossed over to the other side – Dr. Hew Lin, (also known by his Kahuna name of Ihaleakala) the man who brought the ancient Kahuna practice of Ho’oponopono to the world.
He was 83 years old. I will always remember him wearing his baseball caps.
He touched my life in so many ways.
I was honored to do a 5-day Intensive with him many years ago and it was one of the most important teachings I ever received. During that time, we discovered that we both had gone to the University of Iowa and we talked about what a wonderful place Iowa City is (although the cold winters were hard on this native Hawaiian).
Dr. Hew Lin touched so many lives with his work. Ho’oponopono is an ancient technique for forgiveness, and it is one of the most powerful processes I’ve ever used. It has come to us through the Hawaiian spiritual masters, the Kahunas.
The word “ho’o” means “cause” in Hawaiian, while “ponopono” means “perfection.” The term “ho’oponopono” can be translated as “correct a mistake” or “make it right.”
The process is so deceptively simple – you think about a particular situation and say over and over again:
I’m sorry
Please forgive me
I love you
Thank you
Just using these words shifts the energy in whatever the situation is, it’s almost magical. Watch the video to learn more:
Ho’oponopono is just one of the many, many processes we teach at Sedona Soul Adventures to bring people into alignment on all the levels — physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. I’m so honored to be able to carry on his work. If you want to bring your life into connection, contact us and speak with one of our Soul Guides:

Join our Inner Journey Breathwork Training starting Feb. 20 (it includes a 6-day retreat in Sedona Feb. 20-25!)
The breathwork process is part art, part science and all magic! And the key to unlocking all of that magic is not just learning the technique of the breathwork modality, but even more importantly, the ability of the facilitator to create and hold a big, clear, high vibrational space. It is in that space that profound, multi-dimensional miracles of healing and transformation can happen.
The response has been incredible and so many people are very SERIOUS about learning how to do this amazing work and to make their lives richer and fuller in multi-dimensional ways.
The Peru trip is filling up fast! Join us June 17-30, 2022
The Peru trip is filling up fast and I don’t want you to miss out. The trip is June 17-30, 2022 and it’s completely refundable through April 1, 2022. So if you have even an inkling that you want to go, make your deposit now so you won’t miss out.
The trip is so amazing – being with our shaman and guide, Jorge Luis Delgado, is so incredible.
Doing ceremony at Machu Picchu on the Solstice is life changing.
Being with other seekers is so fantastic. And if you don’t have someone to travel with, that’s not a problem. What always seems to happen on these trips is that we have a few couples, but the majority are people traveling as a single (even if they’re married or in a relationship, because their partner isn’t interested in Peru). Plus, our groups are all in love with each other within 48 hours, it’s so wonderful!
“Our sacred journey to Peru was more than we had hoped for, and was made all the more special by the people – Debra, Jorge Luis, and most importantly, the group of strangers that we met on the first day who became lifelong friends by the end of the two weeks. The trip was incredibly well-run, deeply spiritual and life-changing.” ~ Clayton Smith, Canada

The trip is 100% refundable up to April 1, 2021 so that any deposits or other funds you have placed, will be completely refundable, no questions asked.

WWishing you a week filled with forgiveness, love and happy memories!
If you’ve been with me for a while, you know that I was a divorce attorney for over 20 years in Omaha, Nebraska. Now, and for the past 20 years, I’ve been working with couples to help them stay together and have fantastic relationships.
In all these years of working with couples, I can tell you that the most destructive (but easiest to avoid) problem is cheating. It can ruin everything and it can be almost impossible to come back from. We deal with this issue with so many couples and one of the things that amazes me, is that people just don’t seem to realize how completely destructive it is.
Watch my 6-minute video – it might change your life and save your relationship.
If this issue has been haunting you, I first want to say that I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry for your pain, hurt and anguish. But I also want to tell you that there’s hope. I know it. I’ve seen it. I’ve seen the healing take place and people come out the other end.
We’re all human. We all make mistakes, and sometimes the mistakes are more vicious and horrendous than we think we can bear, but you can bear it. You can make it through it.
If your partner has cheated, you’re at a crossroads. You need to decide what you are going to do. I urge you to get help with this. This is one of the most critical times in your life, and the decisions that you make now will be affecting you (and your family) for the rest of your life.
What do you truly want? What do you need? Now is the time to really be looking for your own healing as well as the healing of the relationship.
Certainly, a retreat (where you immerse yourself in your healing) is the best choice. What makes our retreats so unique and special is that they are customized for each couple and the sessions are all private, not in groups.
We spend a lot of time talking with each of you separately before you come to Sedona (or do the retreat virtually At Home) to uncover all of the issues that need to be healed. We then custom design the retreat for exactly what the two of you need.
During your retreat, you’ll work in private one-on-one (or two-on-one) sessions. We have over 50 practitioners, many of whom have over 20 years of experience working with couples.
The privacy of the sessions is so key. Many people don’t feel comfortable in a group setting and they don’t want to talk about their most private issues in front of a bunch of strangers.
There is also a strange dynamic that can sometimes happen in group settings where the group seems to “take the side” of one person, identifying one as the “good guy” and the other as the “bad guy,” and the other person can feel ganged up on. That doesn’t help the healing!
The privacy of the one-on-one sessions and the skills of our practitioners truly create a space where both parties feel safe.
We have helped hundreds and hundreds of people come through this difficult time and come out the other side. Give us a call, we can help. Or click below to speak with one of our Soul Guides:

Kerry says the Peru trip “was the best experience I have ever had.” (June 17-30)
“I honestly did not know much about Peru, I just knew that I needed to go there – it was calling my soul. It was awesome – I felt a special bond with the place that I can never explain – just feel. It was the best experience I have ever had.” ~ Kerry Grant
Our sacred travel trips to Egypt and Peru are so incredible and it’s so gratifying to me that so many people tell me later that it was one of the best experiences of their lives. People even tell me that ten years later!
If Peru is on your bucket list, make the decision to join us. You’ll be happy you did.

This past Wednesday, January 5, was my 23 year anniversary of coming to Sedona!
When I think back about all that’s happened during this time, it’s just so amazing.
When I came here for the first time in 1999, every single part of my life was a mess – I hated my work (I had just started my 20th year of being a divorce attorney in Omaha, Nebraska), I was in an unhappy marriage, I weighed 40 pounds more than I weigh now and I was $50,000 in debt from some bad business decision my (now) ex-husband had made. One of the biggest differences is what I looked like when I first came here and what I look like now.
As I talk about in my book, The Journey To Happy – How Embracing The Concept That Nothing Is Wrong Can Transform Your Life, a few years after I moved to Sedona, I released 40 pounds in 5 weeks without diet or exercise, using the principles I talk about in the book and utilizing the Practitioners and concepts we teach at Sedona Soul Adventures.
Getting happy changes everything!
Before I came to Sedona, I was so unhappy and almost everyday for 5 years, I would pray and meditate and say to God, “I’m so unhappy, please tell me what to do” (looking back I can see it was more like complaining). I would hear this little voice saying, “You need to leave your law practice.” I would immediately react and say something like, “How can I possibly do that? I’ve got a mortgage and two car payments, I’m $50,000 in debt and I’m our sole support.”
Rather than understanding that I was receiving solid information from the Universe, I was angry at the Universe for giving me answers I didn’t want to hear! Crazy!
I really felt like I was at the end of my rope.
I had been working with an energy worker in Omaha and she could feel how completely burned out I was. She felt it was really important for me to get away and just relax. I made the decision to go to Sedona – I had never been there, I had just heard about it as a special place. I decided to go there for 3 days and just be quiet.
Instead, through a strange set of circumstances I ended up doing a session with Ranjita. In that session, all of a sudden my Higher Self appeared to me in a vision as the winged Egyptian goddess, Isis. She enfolded me in her wings and told me everything was going to be all right. But she said, “You either leave your law practice now or you’re going to die like your mother did.”
I finally got the message they’d been trying to give me for 5 years.
I went back to Omaha. I realized I was exactly the age my mother was when she got sick with cancer and died 5 years later. I could see how my life was on her same trajectory – I was unhappy, frustrated, and felt completely stuck. I knew I had to leave my law practice, but how was I possibly going to do that? I came home and spent the next two weeks trying to figure this all out with my lawyer brain – an approach that, of course, never works.
Finally, I just threw up my hands in surrender. In that space, I experienced a profound letting go. I said, “Okay, God, I get it that I have to do this, and I’m going to do it. So if it means selling the house and selling one car and living in the other one and never going anywhere again (I love to travel, so that would have been very difficult for me), okay, I’ll do it. But you’ve got to give me some help here.”
Less than eight hours later, I got a phone call from one of my former clients. At the end of the conversation, he told me that he had just bought a new mortgage refinancing business. This was in 1999 at the start of the new “easy” mortgage lending trend that would ultimately be a factor in the meltdown of the real estate market in 2008. I asked him if it would be possible to refinance my house to get a lower monthly payment. Ten minutes later he called back and said, “I can cut your mortgage payment in half, plus I can get you $50,000 in cash.”
I had never told him (or anyone else) that I was $50,000 in debt. Suddenly, in an instant, the weight of five years of worry was gone. Here was the sign. I knew without any doubt that I was doing the right thing.
I spent the next 6 months closing my practice and then I started coming to Sedona half-time. I would come for a month at a time, always staying with Ranjita, and doing my own personal healing with many different practitioners I was finding in Sedona. I did this for 3 years (the joke at the office is my Soul Adventure took 3 years, everyone else does it in 3 or 4 days!). But that’s what it took.
Three days before 9/11, I was doing another session in Sedona and my Higher Self came in again as Isis and told me, “It’s time to move to Sedona.” “Why? What am I going to be doing in Sedona?” No response. (One of the things I have learned over the years is that the Higher Self doesn’t usually show you the complete picture, only the next step. Mine had shown me the next step.) By this time I knew I needed to do what I was told.
My house sold in 3 days (they said it would take 6 months) and I moved to Sedona and sat here for 6 months awaiting some insights, but nothing happened. I would pray to God and say, “I did what you told me to do. I came here. Now what?”
Suddenly, I started having dreams about what would become Sedona Soul Adventures. I knew and had worked with so many extraordinary healers in Sedona and, perhaps as importantly, I also knew which ones weren’t that great. I saw how it was the private one-on-one sessions and not group retreats that had made all the difference for my own healing. I was shown how I could condense what took me 3 years of healing into a transformational process that would happen in 3 days.
In March it will be the 20th anniversary of Sedona Soul Adventures. We’ve grown from 10 Practitioners to over 50. I used to be the one designing all the retreats, scheduling the sessions, typing the Itineraries, running the credit card charges and doing it from my kitchen table. Now we have a staff of 13 handling all the hundreds of details that go into making the perfect custom-designed retreat for individuals and couples.
We were named “Best of Sedona” for Retreats in 2020 and 2021 and “Best Marriage Retreats in the US” for 5 years in a row, 2017-2021, and this past year Bride’s Magazine named us one of the “11 Best Couples Retreats Around the World!” And we have a score of 4.9 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot (the third-party review service that verifies these are real reviews from real customers).
Even after all these years and thousands of people, I’m still amazed at what happens.
And it all started 23 years ago from that one session I did with Ranjita. Over the years she’s become my closest friend, amazing Practitioner, and dearest sister. She even officiated at my marriage to Richard in 2016 in the Sedona red rocks.
Again, I used the principles we teach here to bring in the man of my dreams and it worked!
The Universe works in mysterious, amazing ways, doesn’t it?
A few days before Christmas, another of our amazing Practitioners, Wendybyrd (who does the incredible Soul Portraits) gave me one of the most beautiful flower arrangements I’ve ever received. When I was thinking about what I could do for Ranjita for our anniversary that would be interesting and different, I decided to have the same arrangement made for her. I took it up to her yesterday (her place is about 20 minutes away from Sedona, so me just “popping in” in the middle of the day is unusual). Her eyes popped out and we had so much fun talking about all the amazing things that have happened in the past 23 years.
There are so many people to thank, especially our incredible Practitioners who just astound me every day with the incredible transformations which take place and our fabulous staff who take such incredible care of everyone who comes to us.
Thank you for 23 incredibly amazing years and for helping me to live my dream of transforming the world one soul at a time! I couldn’t have done it without you!

Give us a call and speak with one of our Soul Guides. They’ll connect with you in deep conversation and start the process of discovering the blocks and wounds and “gunk” that are holding you back from living your best life or having the relationship of your dreams. You deserve to be happy!

The breathwork process is part art, part science and all magic! And the key to unlocking all of that magic is not just learning the technique of the breathwork modality, but even more importantly, the ability of the facilitator to create and hold a big, clear, high vibrational space. It is in that space that profound, multi-dimensional miracles of healing and transformation can happen.

The Traveller eMagazine reported on this study from Cornell University, that “spending money on experiences is more likely to bring you lasting happiness than spending money on material objects. The reason being that people “adapt” to physical objects – meaning the things you’ve bought will bring decreasing amounts of happiness as time goes on and you get used to having them around – whereas those one-off experiences will be looked back upon with joy that only increases.”
So traveling to wonderful places makes us have a joy that continues to increase.
I know that is certainly true for me. Travel has been such a huge part of my life and for the people who have gone on my spiritual trips with me. I just spoke with someone who has been on all three of my trips – to Bali, Egypt and Peru – and we were talking about how amazing it is that we are still so connected after all this time (over 10 years!) and still in touch with so many of the people we first connected with on these trips, who are still friends.
That’s what happens on these trips because they are so much more than trips. They are experiences and even more than that, they are transformational experiences. Being in these places, doing ceremony, receiving the teachings of our shaman and guide, Jorge Luis Delgado, connecting with other spiritual seekers – Peru truly is the trip of a lifetime.
