Day
4: Visit the
White Buffalo & The Grand Canyon |
We
get an early start as we depart Sedona in our private
motor coach and travel north through Oak Creek Canyon,
one of the most beautiful scenic roads in America, to
Flagstaff, ski mecca of northern Arizona. As we turn
northwest and drive out of the city, we are greeted
by the San Francisco Peaks, the holy mountains where
the Hopi Kachinas are said to dwell for part of the
year. Continuing on through stands of aspen and Ponderosa
Pine, we stop at the home of the White Buffalo Family,
where we will visit with Miracle Moon, Rainbow Spirit,
Peace Pilgrim, Arizona Spirit and the others in the
herd. The White Buffalo is known as the healer, bringing
brings peace and harmony to all living things. They
are here to remind us of our connection to all animals,
other humans, Mother Earth and Father Sky. It was foretold
by the native people that the return of the White Buffalo
to our world would be a message that the time has come
for ALL relations to come together in Peace, Harmony
& Balance to bring healing to our world.
We continue on to the Grand Canyon, considered by the
ancient Hopi people of the area to be the great womb
of Mother Earth. Designated a National Monument in 1908,
a National Park in 1919 and a World Heritage Site in
1979, it is one of the most spectacular examples of
erosion anywhere in the world, and is unmatched in the
incomparable vistas it offers. We will have time to
walk in the beauty and peace, with time for individual
meditation and reflection. During our time here we will
have a short ceremony to give thanks for the blessings
received from Great Spirit at this sacred place. Who
knows?? Maybe we will be blessed by a visit from one
of the giant Condors that swoop over the canyon rim!
After lunch on your own you have time to walk along
the breathtaking canyon rims and view the breathtaking
views. Late afternoon/early evening return to Flagstaff.
Check into our accommodations. Free time and dinner
on your own.
