1. Unity of Sedona
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 9 reviews
Unity of Sedona is a New Age spiritual center, New Thought church, and energy vortex located in Sedona, one of the world’s greatest centers of spirituality. Unity of Sedona is a Spiritual Center and a hub for spiritual travelers (students and teachers) on the path to their remembrance that Love (Christ) is who we are. Peace is the natural state of being that arises in those who choose Love as their identity. And as we become more Loving and more filled with Peace, Joy is the emotional result. God’s Presence then wells up in us and overflows as a life of celebration and abundance. Unity of Sedona, therefore, holds as its focus the awakening of the inner Christ so that all forms of goodness may fill our lives. In addition to our Sunday Sacred Services, classes and workshops, concerts, spiritual gatherings, and Psychic Sunday events, our center features a labyrinth and a metaphysical bookstore and gift shop to be enjoyed year-round.

Our Airbnb host recommended the Crystal Bed at Unity of Sedona. I was completely unfamiliar with Crystal beds and went with no preconceived ideas. The experience I had was incredible. I had a total out of body experience. I booked a 40 minute session. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. I recommend this experience to everyone.

5.0 based on 748 reviews
Sedona's Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park is a must-visit destination for spiritual seekers the world over. The Buddhist Amitabha Stupa is an outdoor venue for prayer, meditation, and spiritual renewal for people of all faiths. In the park you will find two Buddhist stupas, a Native American medicine wheel, an exquisite wooden statue of Shakyamuni Buddha and numerous quiet spots for meditation and quiet contemplation. You will experience peace in a quiet, sacred setting. The Amitabha Stupa is open every day and your visit is free of charge. The stupa is supported totally by visitor donations. The Amitabha Stupa is on private property and is owned by Kunzang Palyul Choling, a Vajryanna Buddhist Temple in Poolesville MD. Use of the property by tour guides and other business or commercial entities requires permission.

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.

This chapel, located among dramatic rock formations, offers spectacular views, especially at sunset.

Absolutely loved our visit; awe inspiring views and peaceful serenity. The complimentary golf cart ride (tips appreciated) is a wonderful bonus for those with mobility issues or seniors although the privilege seemed to be available to everyone. We visited around 11 am on a Monday and had no trouble finding parking. Nice gift shop with lots of religious options but also beautiful note cards and postcards. Good idea to check out the postcards for ideas/information. Without them I would have missed the eagles overlooking the chapel. The beautiful home in the foreground is for sale for a mere $28 MILLION!
