The Radiance Retreat in the Red Rocks
A Journey into Meditation, Yoga & Self-Discovery
in Sedona Arizona, October 6 - 8, 2012
The Radiance Retreat in Sedona's Red Rocks is an essential journey into self-discovery, self-awareness, gentle yoga, and silent and guided meditation.
You'll have plenty of time to rejuvenate, recharge, and reflect at one of the most enticing desert hideaways in Arizona – magical Sedona –renowned as a mystical, healing place. The majestic red rock monuments soar above the juniper-covered hillsides and you are surrounded by natural beauty. You can't help but to feel the expansiveness of creation as you gaze into the blue sky above during the day, and watch the stars light up the sky by night.
There’s no better place to reconnect with your spirit, awaken to your full potential, and regenerate your mind and body.
Beginners aren’t just welcome, they’re embraced here. In fact, you don't need any prior experience with yoga or meditation. Whether this is your first retreat, or you’re a retreat junkie, we guarantee you’ll leave transformed and inspired.

Radiance Retreat Facilitators:
Sarah McLean is an explorer of the inner and outer worlds and has been meditating for over 20 years. She's the author of the book, Soul-Centered: Transform Your Life in 8 Weeks with Meditation.
In this retreat she shares her discoveries of expanded states of awareness and inspires you to still your mind, experience present moment awareness, come to know your true essence, and live a truly fulfilling, soul-centered life.
Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, Gary Zukav, and Byron Katie have asked Sarah to help them share their knowledge and talents with the world. She’s developed mind/body health centers, self-discovery programs, curriculum, and events for each of them worldwide. She has been fortunate enough to become immersed in their wisdom and knowledge.
After eight years working at Deepak Chopra's center as the Education Director, Sarah journeyed to India to meditate in an ashram for six months. She returned to the states to become a resident for almost two years in a Zen Buddhist training center. She has traveled thousands of miles through Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, sometimes by bicycle, in search of the secrets of this world and answers to the mysteries of this life.
Sarah has been the director of the Sedona Meditation Training Company since 2005. She leads meditation classes, retreats and gatherings throughout Arizona and is known to many as the face of mainstream meditation. She recently opened the McLean Meditation Institute which offers Meditation Teacher Training & Certification Programs.
 During the summer of '68, when the Beatles discovered meditation and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi became a household name, Babs Whelton began her journey to learn the practices of higher consciousness and the diverse expressions of spirituality. This teenage interest soon became a lifelong inquiry into Eastern philosophy, yoga and meditation.
Years later, after studying with various teachers and learning a variety of techniques, she attended a spiritual retreat led by Drs. Deepak Chopra and David Simon. During the course, she participated in a Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga class and this consciousness-based style of yoga resonated deeply within her.
Wanting to share this style of meditative, mindful movement and deep, flowing breath with others, Babs became certified by the Chopra Center for Wellbeing as a Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga teacher. Dynamic motion, stillness of spirit and clarity of mind produce and promote the best that yoga has to offer and Babs feels truly honored to have the opportunity of sharing this with her students.
 Marty Birrittella is a long-time meditator who has made it his priority to immerse himself in the spiritual life. He lived in an ashram (a meditation community) for many years, and is well-versed in the effects of meditation and expanded awareness.
He was the founder and president of several successful well-known businesses. When he turned 41, he retired and was able to fully devote himself to his spiritual practices.
Marty has turned to painting and writing, and calls himself one who "paints by ear" as he really listens to his spirit and is guided by that. He is a gifted facilitator who loves to work with others and share his approach of the practice of self-inquiry. He reveres nature and the outdoors and does a walking meditation everyday in the wilderness.
