Chiricahua Mountain Wilderness
Located in Southeast Arizona near the borders of Mexico and New Mexico, the isolated Chiricahua Mountains have played host to Vision Quests for thousands of years, witnessed by red-tailed hawks and golden eagles soaring among peaks at eight and nine thousand foot elevations. Cacti grow with giant pines; lush old growth canyon forests and cool streams contrast with orange cliffs. In this uniquely diverse mix of subtropical and mountain environments, golden eagles, trogons (a close relative of the Quetzal bird), and coatimundis may bless you with their company.
“The Chiricahuas will embrace your senses and renew your natural spirit.”
While on your Passage, a soft murmur from the mountain-fed creek gently awakens your hearing. Smells of oak, pine, and earth caress your nostrils and clear morning sun invites you to behold the beginnings of a timeless day. These lovely mountains combine the amazingly rich plant communities of the Rockies from the north, the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts to the west and east, and the subtropical Sierra Madre Mountains to the south. Your Sacred Passage here immerses you in one of our continent's most remote and beautiful wilderness areas.
Like a big hug from an old friend, the Chiricahuas will embrace your senses and renew your natural spirit.
The Lush Sonoran Desert
Individuals ready for powerful internal transformation have always been drawn to the desert; for this reason, the Sonoran Desert of southeastern Arizona and Mexico is among our most favored sites.
The air's low humidity results in an immense view. Vast open spaces shine with crystalline clarity - a clarity that inspires the opening of your deepest inner Nature: boundless spaciousness and luminosity.
This organically rich desert has many species of cacti: spiny chollas, tall saguaros, and clusters of organ pipe. Wildlife is abundant. Pointy-nosed coatimundis, small eagle-like caracaras, peccaries, and desert bighorn sheep all inhabit this region. If the birds and animals come to trust you, they will bless you with their company. |
