The guide explained the links between Buddhism and Native American shamanism, enriching our understanding of the land’s spiritual significance. As we walked through the park, I felt a profound sense of peace and gratitude for the opportunity to experience such a sacred place.

Rachel’s Knoll was another highlight, offering a unique perspective on Sedona’s energy. The stories shared by our guide added emotional depth to the experience, and I found myself reflecting on the importance of preserving these sacred sites for future generations. The tour was thoughtfully paced, allowing us to savor each moment without feeling rushed.
