Travel Instructions & Directions:
The retreat is in Munds Park, Arizona, nestled in the ponderosa pines between Sedona & Flagstaff- which makes it particularly picturesque. The exact address is given upon approved application and full payment of $650/couple. (Refund schedules are as follows: A 75% refund is available for cancellations on or before April 15; a 50% refund is available for cancellations on or before May 15, a 25% refund is available for cancellation on before June 15. No refunds are available for cancellations after June 15.) Registration begins at 5pm on Wednesday, July 15. You will be required to provide your own transportation to the retreat site, and to any points of recreation, such as Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon, Sedona, or the Tlaquepaque Arts Village. (Fees associated with such excursions - shopping, and/or dining out, etc. - are not included in the retreat cost, of course, but are fun "extras" to choose from during your "play times" over the week.)
Flying: There is a major airport in Phoenix (Sky Harbor) with direct flights from many departure cities across the country. There are also two smaller regional airports (Sedona & Flagstaff). See maps below. Many people find Sky Harbor (Phoenix) to be the easiest airport of the three, due to greater availability and flexibility in daily arrivals and departures. For this reason, Sky Harbor (Phoenix) is the recommended destination for air travel. (Even though it's *really warm* in Phoenix in July, you'll be amazed at what a difference an elevation of 7000ft can make!) Rental cars for the weekend should be easy to come by, especially from Sky Harbor - but reservations are always recommended. (Pro-tip: Especially for those flying great distances, travel insurance to compensate you for any travel inconveniences, like flight delays, cancellation, etc, is often a wise choice.)
Driving Instructions: From the North: The city of Flagstaff is at the junction of I-17 and I-40. Munds Park is 21 miles South of Flagstaff on I-17, exit 322: Pinewood Blvd.
From the South: Munds Park is 126 miles NORTH (and many degrees cooler!) from Phoenix on the I-17.
For those who wish to extend their stay in the area after the retreat has ended, there are several lovely resorts available in and around the Flagstaff & Sedona areas. Again, reserving ahead is wise!
