2026 Fall Equinox Retreat Sedona Arizona

Twice each year, the Earth stands in perfect balance day and night equal in length, light meeting shadow like halves of a sacred breath. Most people barely notice this cosmic pause. But some do. They sense the air change. The colors soften. A quiet inner voice whispers, it’s time.

That moment is the Autumn Equinox, nature’s eternal call to release, realign, and renew. And on September 21, 2026, ten people will answer that invitation in one of the planet’s most energetically charged landscapes Sedona, Arizona. For four days and three nights, beneath vast desert skies, they’ll take part in a transformational experience designed to awaken every level of being: mind, body, spirit, soul, and senses.

This is the Sedona Equinox Awakening Retreat, Created and guided by Claudette Renee Lyons and Gianluca (Luca) Zanna, a singer and clinical hypnotherapist whose voice and guidance gently dissolve inner barriers, and a music producer and Krav Maga Black Belt Instructor who teaches grounded confidence and presence. Together, they have translated decades of study in neuroscience, yoga, martial arts, and emotional healing into one complete system of transformation.

Sedona: A Landscape Built for Awakening

Sedona isn’t just beautiful, it’s alive. The city’s iconic red rocks sit atop swirling electromagnetic vortexes that have fascinated both scientists and seekers for generations. People describe feeling tingling in their hands, waves of peace, or a sudden emotional release as they move through the land.

Now imagine combining that energy with the amplified frequency of the Autumn Equinox, when Earth’s axis finds equilibrium. For millennia, civilizations from the Celts to the Egyptians have honored this turning point as sacred, a threshold between what was and what will be. Sedona magnifies that threshold. It turns self‑reflection into revelation.

More Than a Retreat

Luca and Claudette’s approach is what they call a full‑spectrum immersion not a weekend yoga escape or casual spa getaway, but a deliberately sequenced journey of embodied transformation.

Each day unfolds through one of five dimensions:

Mind – Clinical hypnotherapy, subconscious reprogramming, NLP integration, and emotional clearing to release beliefs that keep you stuck.

Body – Krav- Maga training, resilience practices, and movement designed to ground strength and awaken confidence.

Spirit – Kundalini yoga, meditation, breathwork, and guided vortex excursions to activate alignment and inner calm.

Soul – Live music, sound healing, vibrational frequency work, and voice activation for deep emotional integration.

Senses – Gourmet organic cuisine, stargazing under Sedona’s dark sky, and the visceral serenity of a luxury private estate.

No activity is random. Each element is placed to weave a single coherent experience, one that opens, anchors, and harmonizes every aspect of your being.

Intimacy Is the Catalyst

The Sedona Equinox Retreat welcomes only ten participants. Claudette and Luca know every guest’s name, story, and intention before arrival. Within that small circle, transformation feels safe, breakthroughs happen naturally.

The estate itself has just five beautifully distinct bedrooms, from elegant private king suites to the cozy shared Collective Room, all inclusive of meals, sessions, and excursions. Every conversation, meal, and silence is part of the unfolding journey.
