Introducing: About the Journey – Sedona, Arizona: Where to Kick-Start Your Wellness Journey in the Verde Valley

Pete here, from the Abroad In Japan podcast.This episode is sponsored by Marriott Bonvoy - so here's a brand new episode of a travel podcast we think you're going to really enjoy!On this episode of About the Journey, Oneika Raymond kick starts this season in Sedona, Arizona, a desert oasis tucked in the Verde Valley and known for its stunning red rock formations and energy vortices. There, she embarks on a wellness journey to explore how Sedona encourages visitors to slow down to reconnect to themselves. She meets up with three locals who help her tap into Sedona’s must-visit stops to experience self discovery and mindful travel.Oneika starts her day with a morning hike to Yavapai Vista to meet with Melina Fuhrmann, the owner of Spirit Flow, a wellness center that helps others reconnect to themselves in this one-of-a-kind place. Melina shares the secrets of Sedona’s energy vortices before leading Oneika through a grounding meditation. Then, Oneika and Melina head to the Courtyard Marriott Sedona, for a sit-down conversation about the art of self care. We hear how vital it is to slow down in nature.Next, Oneika heads to the Palatki Heritage Site, an archaeological site with cliff dwellings and rock art from some of Sedona’s earliest inhabitants. Oneika’s guide, Nick Massoni of the U.S. Forest Service, bridges the past and present by sharing ancient stories of Sedona’s past that help Oneika understand her own legacy. As the sun sets over Sedona, Oneika travels to her final stop — a stargazing session with Dave Sanders of Sedona Stargazing. Oneika takes in the starry night sky while learning the impact darkness plays in the desert’s habitat, and on our own busy lives.Experience Sedona's transformative power for yourself. For more about Oneika’s journey — and to get other itinerary ideas — visit Marriott Bonvoy Traveler. To learn more and book a room at the Courtyard Marriott Sedona, visit the hotel’s website.
