 The Amitabha Stupa is a place of great blessing. A stupa, by Buddhist definition, is a structural embodiment of the Buddha’s enlightened mind. It is a radiating presence that transmits blessings to individuals, the surrounding area, and the world. As Sedona visitors walk around, circling the stupa a number of times, praying for themselves, their families and the world--prayers are magnified in the awesome energy of this stupa tucked in the middle of a vast red rock vistas.
The Labyrinth is a mystical mandala of paths behind an inn amid three acres of serene gardens. Over the past decade there has been a revival of the tradition of using a labyrinth as a meditation, relaxation and spiritual tool. The labyrinth, in the heart of Sedona, was built by the community as tribute to the spirit within and the spirit of the land. It is a magical, meditative place thathas a very calming effect as you walk  the labyrinth at your own pace, communing with your inner self and the land.
The Chapel of the Holy Cross has been an attractive Sedona landmark since its completion in 1956. Designed by a pupil of Frank Lloyd Wright, Marguerite Brunswig Staude, the Chapel appears to rise out of the surrounding red rocks. The towering cross and awesome panoramic red rock views are inspiring. You will want to take photographs in all directions. The chapel has artistic stained glass windows, a place to light candles, a gift shop and a very peaceful, mystical energy.
The Sedona Peace Pole: is a newly-erected shrine for peace on the grounds of the Sedona Creative Life center. The pole, with prayers for peace written on the sides in several languages, stands amid acres of desert forest land with a backdrop of expansive red rock structures. After a short hike, you come to a lovely gazebo, which offers delightful shade in which to enjoy guided yoga stretches amid vortex energy. The peace pole is great place to combine your prayers with the prayers of others, as we pray for peace in our hearts, peace in our lives, and peace in our world. Om, shanti.

Community Sweat Lodges Offered in Sedona
by Artie Looking Hawk (photo below),
Yellowbird of ICA, and other Lodge Leaders
 Artie Looking Hawk's soul was captivated by the Red Path, the way of the indigenous people of this land, many years ago when he first attended the sacred sweat lodge ceremony. Artie is a devout follower and leader, who shares his heart and his energy as a Reiki Master in the lodge. He is also an ordained minister. Artie Looking Hawk was given his name by George Elk Dreamer during his first Sun Dance. It was an honor for him to be gifted as a sacred pipe carrier. Has has participated in the Sun Dance seven times and done extensive fasting and self-inquiry. Artie has also danced in the Earth Dance ten times.
Artie Looking Hawk has built a unique Kiva-style sweat lodge on the land where he lives. It overlooks the creek at a sacred place adjacent to ancient ruins of Sugar Loaf Mountain, which has a very high vibration. Sugarloaf Mountain has been the site of much spiritual ceremony and has been designated a historical relic. Artie has found that during the sweat ceremony, a person has the opportunity to talk to The Creator on a personal and intimate level. Artie is a Spirit guide, who sends his love and Light to you . |
