Ancient Springs Retreat Center
Make room for a slower rhythm
An artesian spring gives the grounds a distinctive presence. Across six acres in Cornville’s Page Springs green belt, Ancient Springs Retreat Center has ponds and paths beneath tall trees, creating a setting that invites time outdoors as well as retreat practice. Sedona lies just beyond this quieter rural pocket of the Verde Valley. Between formal sessions, visitors can wander the paths, pause by the water, or simply take in the landscape. The center’s tradition and daily program are not defined by the grounds alone, so it makes sense to choose according to the particular retreat on offer rather than expect one fixed meditation format. For current retreat themes, dates, and booking details, check the center’s website. The center operates on a paid basis, so confirm the rate and what it covers before reserving.
