I had a dry brush/body wrap treatment that included a reflexology foot massage. It was HEAVEN!!! I have never had a body wrap and was a little worried about feeling claustrophobic but no worries! It was a light wrap! My masseuse was amazing! So knowledgeable and incredibly skilled! She took the time to get to know me and explained the treatment to me and also customized it to fit me! ???? I am definitely coming back! I wholeheartedly recommend this amazing little piece of heaven!

This was my first time to Inner Journeys, and I immediately felt welcome in the beautiful home space Mariposa and Kurt share with their guests -- warm lighting, beautiful art, inviting essential oils, friendly family pets (kept in a separate space), and an outdoor space full of treasures including statues, crystals, and a medicine wheel. They each offered helpful, complementary healing arts to help me clear pain I've been holding onto from traumas (EFT with Mariposa and Emotion Code with Kurt), connect with Spirit (Angel medicine), and gain clarity on future directions. This is such a gift at this time of transition, when my PhD is winding down and my partner and I are launching a wellness business / social venture to serve many people. My partner and I combined individual sessions, and did a couples session with their colleague, Maia, which was also very insightful in helping us recognize current patterns linked to beliefs and behaviors adopted in childhood, and giving concrete guidance on how to strengthen ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually for the journey ahead. Mariposa also led us through a shamanic journey to conclude our time, which allowed me to connect with animal spirits and symbols that helped me to heal, encouraged me to accept my life path (with its beauty and sorrow), and realize that I already have everything I need to live in alignment with my true purpose. I am so grateful for this experience, and highly, highly recommend the soul medicine Mariposa, Kurt (and Maia) offer. It is SUCH a worthwhile investment in yourself. I am/We are working to integrate the insights gained, and I hope to return in the future.

I believe one should experience adventure, struggle & exertion when visiting sacred spots, allowing the self to interact with its surroundings, & give up ego in exchange for peace. If you’re bussed in, conveniently dropped off at the site it’s like passing thru a fast food drive-thru & you’ll have to overcome the convenience of your entitlement to catch up to the rest of us on a natural high who arrived via the hiking trails. The Amitabha Stupa is nestled in the shadow of Thunder Mountain in the Red Rocks, amongst a network of hiking trails just above Sedona. Once at this dry parcel you’ll see a magnificent wooden Buddha perched on a ledge among the junipers, the large Stupa, a sacred structure that’s said to contain millions of wishes, sacred relics, mandalas, & prayers. Even if you don’t believe that, merely imagining it gets you halfway there. Meditate, add silence, slow down, regenerate. Many do just that, finding a welcome respite from perpetual chattering & daily data overload. Visitors offer acknowledging glances broad smiles & that’s a start. Spin colorful prayer wheels clockwise & pray for a better future, a world free of perpetual war. Even if you don’t go in for this, the mere spinning of the wheels will link you to something outside yourself. I was told by a local, self-described “old hippie” who assisted on the site’s construction in 2004 that the site is deemed holy by local native peoples & the Hopi who’ve constructed a medicine wheel of stones here.

The collection on display is massive with over 5000 artifacts and hundreds dating to the 1500-1800's, Galleries; Special Historical Information, Military Art, Art and Architecture, Kitchen Collection, Drinking Collection and Winery and Distillery Collection. You will be amazed by this museum!

An education around every corner. This museum is immaculately maintained and has wonderful self guided signs throughout. The feeling is cool, quiet and peaceful. They have worked hard to create this space. Plan on spending a couple of hours if you want to stroll through....longer if you want to read every sign. Every question you might have about copper and this museum is answered somewhere within these walls. Loved it! There's few places to eat while in Clarkdale. However we took a stroll around this cute little town. We went back to historic Cottonwood for lunch. There's a lot of places to stop there.
