ABOUT THE SEDONA CREATIVE LIFE CENTER
The location of our Past-life Regression Counselor Training has been carefully selected to maximize and enhance your experience and learning. Below is the philosophy of the world-famous Sedona Creative Life Center:
Dedicated to the spiritual part of every person, Sedona Creative Life Center (SCLC) is a non-religious, non-profit growth center. SCLC comprises a diverse spiritual community that comes together for the purpose of spiritual advancement, and for the celebration of everything that is positive, both on a personal level and on a global level. Foremost in its philosophy is the idea that every person is here to learn and to grow as much as possible. Creativity and fulfillment are believed to be closely connected with growth and change on a personal level.
It is strongly believed that spiritual learning and personal growth are instrumental in cultivating a way of living that is both fulfilling and creative, and can place a person squarely on the road to developing the spiritual qualities of wisdom, enlightenment and serenity.
Students in the past have not only reduced costs but also made wonderful friends by sharing rooms! We will be compiling lists of those interested either in sharing a hotel room and in carpooling or renting a car together. Names, telephone numbers and emails of students who wish to do this to cut costs will be distributed, and it will be up to each individual student to contact others on the list and make arrangements. Please note that while it is fairly likely, we cannot promise that individuals will find someone with whom to share a room or vehicle.
All students need to arrange for their own lodging; Sedona or Oak Creek are nearest to the center.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You will need transportation from your lodging to and from the Sedona Creative Life Center, even if your lodging is nearby. On your registration form, there is an option that can be checked for those interested in in either sharing a room or in carpooling both from Phoenix airport and within Sedona itself. This will help reduce costs substantially.
Our number one choice for lodging, where many students have stayed in the past, is Sky Ranch Lodge - Sedona, which is within a couple of miles of the center. It's an especially good deal if you are opting to have a roommate to split costs. This is a peaceful place, reasonably priced, near the powerful airport vortex, with attractive & serene landscaping. Like any other hotel, there can be a little noise from adjacent rooms, but most guests are respectful. The majority of rooms have kitchenettes; if this is important to you, check to make sure yours does. The best feature of the lodge is that it is elevated and adjacent to a popular look-out over the red rocks, one of the best views in Sedona. If you want to pay extra, you can have a room with both this view and a fireplace.

White House Inn (This is even more of a no-frills motel, located right on the busy highway. Students report that rooms are clean and prices are low. Check online reviews.)

All meals are "on your own." Students on a budget might consider lodging that includes a kitchenette. There is a large supermarket in the center of Sedona geared towards organic and healthy foods (New Frontiers Market), as well as two other large grocery stores.
You will be completely--and happily!--absorbed in past-life regression training during the five-six days of class. Although the Art Cabin at the Creative Life Center is in a gorgeous location, with wonderful views, there will be only limited free time for exploring Sedona. Students are strongly encouraged to consider staying an extra day for R&R, hiking, or sight-seeing in this mystical place!
Students are encouraged to bring yoga mats, pillows, blankets, special chairs, neck holders (the kind you wear on airplanes) and anything else you want to be comfortable during our sessions. Most people like to lie down on the floor for regressions, and the floor in our center is not carpeted, so please be advised and pack accordingly. Maximize your comfort!
For your comfort, our classes are always 100% fragrance free. Everyone knows what it's like to be in a closed space all day with someone wearing a scent they dislike. Added to that, increasing numbers of people have allergies to fragrances, including natural oils; we usually have several individuals, sometimes with serious allergies, in our classes. For this reason, we will not be using products like sage, incense or scented candles, and all students are requested to avoid wearing perfumes, aftershave, body perfumes, essential oils and other scented products, and reserve their use for another time.
Please allow your body to adjust to the schedule, especially if you are coming from overseas, so that you may be fully present during our sacred time together. Most of Arizona, including Sedona, does not observe Daylight Savings Time. Keep in mind that during Daylight Savings Time, ending classes after 9:00 p.m. in Arizona is the equivalent of ending class after midnight for east-coast students, but only 8:00 p.m. for Californians!
Sedona is about 130 miles north of Phoenix, a 2-hour drive, or 35 miles southwest of Flagstaff. Space is provided on your registration form to connect with others if you are interested in sharing a rental car to and from the Phoenix airport, or carpooling to and from class.
Some guests drive their own car.
Many students find it most cost-effective to fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and rent a car. This option gives you the freedom to come and go as it suits you upon arrival, upon departure and during your stay. For most people this is the most convenient way to reach Sedona. Certification is only given for full attendance and cannot be given for anyone requiring an early departure. With this in mind, students flying to and from Phoenix should schedule their arrival the day before class begins (Saturday, Nov. 5), and plan their departure from Phoenix no earlier than 6:00 p.m. the day class ends (Friday, Nov. 11), or a day later if you plan on attending the optional evening meditation or on doing any sightseeing.
Those who do not want to drive can take the shuttle from the airport to Sedona. There are multiple options for doing this. Note that you will need to arrange transportation to the Creative Life Center from your lodging. The center is up a steep hill where walking is not safe. Once classmates get to know one another, carpooling is recommended.
Ace Express: They will take you directly to your hotel, and pick you up. To make a reservation, please call (928)-639-3357. NOTE: While it's a good company, with one of our past classes, Ace changed a number of students' reservation times at the last minute for their own convenience, forcing people to wake up much earlier in the morning than originally scheduled (naughty company, bad karma!). Because of this experience, it's recommended to get a contract in writing with specific pick-up times if you use Ace!
Sedona/Phoenix Airport Shuttle: This shuttle leaves Phoenix Airport for Sedona seven times per day, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. In the Sedona to Phoenix direction, the shuttle picks up passengers both in West Sedona and in the Village of Oak Creek, also seven times per day, from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Call 928-282-2066 for reservations. Visit www.sedona-phoenix-shuttle.com for a complete schedule. You will still need to take a taxi or arrange transportation to your lodging, and Sedona taxis are expensive.
Directions from Phoenix Airport to Sedona Creative Learning Center (SCLC)
Drive onto Interstate 10 west at the Phoenix Airport exit, and then onto Interstate 17 north toward Flagstaff. Follow Interstate 17 north from Phoenix about 100 miles. Exit at state highway 179 (exit 298). Go about 15 miles north on highway 179 and turn right on Schnebly Hill Rd (if you get to the "Y" where Hwy 179 ends at Hwy 89A, you have gone a quarter mile too far). Go about a quarter mile up Schnebly Hill Rd to number 333 and turn left into SCLC.
Directions From Flagstaff to Sedona Creative Learning Center (SCLC)
If it is snowing, take Interstate 17 south from Flagstaff about 41 miles to state highway 179. From there, follow the directions above as if coming from Phoenix. This route takes about an hour from Flagstaff to Sedona.
If the weather is good, take Interstate 17 south from Flagstaff. Go only about 2 miles south of the junction of Interstate 40 and 17, and exit at US highway 89A (exit 337). This takes you on a breathtaking 25 mile drive through Oak Creek Canyon. In Sedona, the third traffic light you come to is the junction of hwy 179 (the main crossroads in Sedona). Turn left onto Hwy 179, go a quarter mile and turn left again onto Schnebly Hill Rd. Go about a quarter mile up Schnebly Hill Rd to number 333 and turn left into SCLC. This route through Oak Creek Canyon takes about 40 minutes from Flagstaff to Sedona.
