Life always offers you a second chance and Debra Stangl is a true example. As a divorce attorney in Omaha, Nebraska, Debra was struggling with her life when she came to Sedona for the first time in 1999. She was more than 40 pounds overweight, hated her work, unhappy in her marriage, and was $50,000 in debt. Sinking into depression, she lost interest in everything. In her effort to heal, she tried everything but failed. Eventually, when she finally got to the point where she couldn’t stand her life anymore, Debra visited the spiritual mecca of Sedona, Arizona and experienced a spiritual reawakening that changed her life forever.
Debra closed her law practice, and over the next three years, traveled back to Sedona over and over again, pursuing her personal healing work with the amazing practitioners who have been drawn to Sedona from all over the world. In 2001, just two weeks before 9/11, Debra received the message in a vision that she was meant to move to Sedona; she did and six months later she started Sedona Soul Adventures.
Drawing from her own healing process, Debra realized that the healing came from utilizing the unique energy of Sedona and working one-on-one with different practitioners on different aspects of her healing.
Through the vehicle of Sedona Soul Adventures, Debra developed the unique process of deeply transformational, customized retreats for individuals and couples. Since then, it has assisted thousands of people in their transformational journey.
Why the Disconnection?
Most people are living in a state of disconnection, and that is causing them a great deal of misery. Most of this disconnection starts in childhood when we took on wounds, hurt, and limiting beliefs such as “I’m not enough”, “I’m not good enough”, “I’m not smart enough”, “I’m not lovable”, “I’ll never amount to anything”, “I’ll never be happy”, etc. These turn into self-fulfilling prophecies where we start feeling unhappy, unloved, and dissatisfied with our lives.
Sedona Soul Adventures is meant for those who are experiencing this disconnection. Through their tailored retreats, Sedona Soul Adventures enables these participants to reconnect, find clarity, and embrace a purposeful life.
The Process of Reconnecting
Before you come to Sedona for a retreat (or do a retreat on Zoom), the first step is to connect with a Soul Guide. They will connect with you in deep conversation, digging deep, and from that conversation, they design the perfect retreat based on their Sedona Proven Process to find, release and heal the core wounds, traumas, fears, limiting beliefs and karma that are holding you back from living your best life or causing trouble. Next, processes are used to bring you into connection on all the levels – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Finally, you are given the tools and ongoing support to ensure your transformations last a lifetime.
The Incredible Journey of Transformation
Sedona’s unique energy unlocks your hidden potential, releases limiting beliefs and paves the way for reconciliation, healing and transformation.
“The transformations that we’ve done over the past 22 years are almost unbelievable. Individuals leave happy, content, and at peace knowing their life’s purpose and ready to live it. Couples are able to let go of the resentments of the past, rediscover the love that brought them together in the first place, and bring the sizzle back into their relationship.” shares Debra.
“It’s ironic to me that I was a divorce attorney for 20 years, and now I’ve spent another 20 years doing so much to save and renew countless marriages. Hopefully, the karma is balanced out by now! Even after all these years and helping thousands of people, I’m still amazed at what happens.”
The process takes a minimum of 3 full days for individuals and 4 full days for couples. Sedona Soul Adventures also provides retreats at home on-line and those have the same incredible transformational impact.
A Different Kind of Retreat
While most retreat centers offer group activities and processes, Sedona Soul Adventures’ retreats are completely custom designed for each individual or couple for exactly the transformations they need and desire.
Each retreat consists of sessions that are completely private, one-on-one or two-on-one (for couples), not in groups, with each retreat having a beginning, a middle and an end and they are designed to be transformational, taking you from where you are to where you want to be.
Sedona Soul Adventures works with a network of over 60 Master Practitioners who do almost every type of modality in existence from emotional clearing, EMDR, breathwork, Radiant Heart Healing, meditation to yoga and massage.
“Nobody is doing what we are doing. All the other teachers out there tell people how to live their lives, but they don’t show them how to transform their lives. Sedona Soul Adventures’ custom-designed retreats will let you find a purpose in life and have the life or relationship of your dreams.”
Making a difference in every life
What started with ten practitioners, today has grown to fifteen staff and over sixty practitioners, all dedicated to transforming the lives of individuals and couples.
Sedona Soul Adventures has been featured on The Today Show, USA Today, the Washington Post, Forbes, Bride’s, Yoga Journal and was named to the Inc. 5000 List of Fastest Growing Private Companies in the US for 2019 and again in 2023. They were named “Best of Sedona” for Retreats for 2020-2024, “Best Marriage Retreats in the US” 2015-2024 and one of the “11 Best Couples Retreats Around the World” by Bride’s Magazine in 2022. But for Debra, the real blessing is the thousands of people whose lives and relationships have been transformed. Looking ahead in the future, she aspires to reach out and connect to more such individuals and couples and make a difference in their lives for the good.
