Rare Buddhist Relics Come to Sedona This Weekend

A Free Event for People of All Faiths

I am so excited to tell you about a really phenomenal event called the Heart Shrine Relic Tour that will be in Sedona, Arizona from August 20-22 at the 7 Centers Yoga Arts on 2115 Mountain Road in West Sedona. This extraordinary collection of Buddhist relics is one of the most powerful things I have experienced in my life. Most of the relics, those found among the cremation ashes of Buddhist masters, resemble beautiful pearl-like crystals. Buddhists believe these relics are produced as a result of the master’s spiritual qualities of compassion and wisdom. In the presence of the relics I felt as if the Buddhist masters were all standing there bestowing their blessings on me. The peace and tranquility of mind that I experienced was truly amazing.

Mountain Biking Sedona, Arizona

 Sedona – A Mountain Biker’s Delight

Set amongst towering sandstone cliffs, calming metaphysical energy, and natural red rock, Sedona is one of Arizona’s most popular destinations. From its rich history and colorful spirit, Sedona captures and enchants the visitor.

For the mountain biker, it’s a religious experience, the final destination of a long journey that culminates in trails ranging from flowing, big-ring singletrack to white-knuckle, sphincter-clenching, cliff-riding insanity.

The trails east of town feature a lot of rocks, slickrock, loose rock, steep climbs, killer ascents, behemoth ledge drops and tight, technical switchbacks. Begin your Sedona adventure on the Bell Rock trail, a fast, hard-packed singletrack that is big-ring fun.
