Good friends and Good Vibes Annual Sedona Wellness Retreat
Nov 2 - 6, 2026
Sedona, Arizona
Thank you so much for your interest in joining me for the
Good Friends and Good Vibes
Sedona Wellness Retreat.
This is our second annual wellness retreat with Wellness with Brigitte!
I'm looking forward to spending this retreat with dear friends, in the beautiful red rock country and peacefulness of West Sedona.
Sedona is a globally renowned destination, surrounded by 1.8 million acres of national forest land and buttressed by four wilderness areas and two state parks. It is a landscape of iconic red rock formations and steep canyon walls lined with oaks, tall pines and even cacti! Sedona is also a place held as deeply nourishing and healing, and the perfect place to reconnect with nature and step away from the busyness of life and the world.
Not only is Sedona one of the most scenic places on earth, but it's host to some of the most spectacular sunrises and is also an ‘International Dark-Sky City’ and the nighttime views of the stars are abundant and endless!

The Details
Accomodations
We have selected this gorgeous, 6 bedroom, 4 bathroom home in west Sedona as our accommodations for this retreat! The property boasts beautiful views, which change as the sun moves through the day, and is close to delicious restaurants, shops and trailheads, with hikes that are accessible to all.
Please see the pricing section for the types of bedroom accommodations that are available.
Meals
Delicious food and meals prepared with love, and accompanied by meaningful conversations, are central to gatherings like this. While people often associate 'wellness' retreats with meals that adhere to a specific kind of diet, such as vegetarianism, my philosophy with wellness and eating is, to certainly eat foods that are beneficial and what we might call healthy, but I am also of the philosophy that eating, especially with good friends, is something to be enjoyed and savored!
We will have a community approach to our meals for this year’s retreat. In yoga, they use to term Seva - which translates to selfless service performed without expectation of reward. This is one of the core tenets of the path of yoga.
We will pair up participants for each evening meal and one breakfast meal at the house. Participants will plan their meal with their group, and will be asked to bring all of the ingredients needed for the meal, and then prepare the meal for our group.
Each participant will also be asked to bring one type of snack item, which we will put out for midday eating. Breakfast will be provided one morning, and participants will be asked to bring what they would like to eat for the other mornings.
Beverages, such coffee, water and soda water will be provided.
