A few more teachers are joining this lineup. We will name them here as they confirm.

Most spiritual paths add things. More practice, more knowledge, more progress toward a future version of you. Nonduality goes the other direction. It removes what was never true to begin with, until what’s already here becomes obvious.

The Unbroken View brings that pointing into one place for a weekend. Leading teachers of nonduality, each hosting their own session in their own way, with interactive practices throughout to help the teachings land. You stay at Sedona Mago for two nights, with time between sessions to walk, sit, and let it settle.

FAQ

Sedona Mago Center

173 acres of red rock desert, 4,500 feet up, under open sky

Sedona Mago sits on 173 acres of red rock desert, about forty minutes from downtown Sedona and two and a half hours north of Phoenix. The land has been a retreat for years. People come here for the silence, the red rock, and the kind of sky you forget exists once you live under city lights.

This is where the weekend happens. Between sessions, the grounds are yours. Walk the trails, sit by the lake, follow the lavender paths, or trace one of the labyrinths. None of it is scheduled. The point is the time to do nothing in particular.

You stay in a simple, comfortable room with a private bathroom and views of the red rocks. Meals are farm-to-table, much of it grown on the land itself, and served buffet-style in the dining hall.

When the sun drops, the desert sky opens. With over 300 days of sun a year and no city lights for miles, you can see the Milky Way from the path outside your room.

The weekend

Friday evening to Sunday morning

Friday

November 13, from 7 pm

Arrive and open

Check in through the afternoon and settle on the land. We gather in the evening for the opening conversation, then share a first dinner together. No rush, no agenda beyond meeting the people you will spend the weekend with.

Saturday

November 14, full day

The heart of it

Each teacher leads their own session through the day, a talk, a dialogue, an inquiry, whatever fits their work, with time for the room to ask. Alongside the sessions, you’ll get interactive practices to help the teachings land. The sessions are spaced so the trails and gardens are yours in the gaps.

Sunday

November 15, until 11 am

Close and go

A final morning conversation draws the weekend together, with time for last questions. We finish by 11 am so you can travel home the same day, the desert still in you.

Each teacher hosts their own session in their own way. Alongside the sessions, you'll get interactive practices to help the teachings land. We are finalizing the full schedule and will post it here.

On the land, for both nights. You stay in a simple, casita-style room with its own bathroom, shower, and a mini fridge. Private rooms are for one person. Shared rooms are for two guests, and if you book solo and choose a shared room we pair you with a same-gender roommate. After you register you can request a specific roommate; just make sure they register too, or you will be paired with another participant.

You are welcome to arrive from 1:00 pm on Friday, November 13, which gives you time to settle in and walk the land. Dinner is served at 5:30 pm, and we open at 7:00 pm with the first gathering.

On Sunday, November 15, breakfast is served in the morning and the final session ends at 11:00 am. Lunch is served afterward and checkout is at 12:00 pm, so you are fed before you travel home that same day.

All meals are included from Friday dinner through Sunday lunch, served buffet-style in the dining hall. The food is farm-to-table, much of it grown on Mago’s own farm, and the menu changes daily. Expect dishes like crab cake Benedict, lemon Dijon salmon, sweet and sour tofu, and hearty soups and salads. Pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-friendly options are there at every meal. Breakfast starts at 7:00 am and the dining hall closes at 7:00 pm. Tell us your needs when you book.

Mid-November in Sedona brings cool, dry days in the upper 50s Fahrenheit and cold nights near or just below freezing. The sun is strong and the air is dry. A light rain or dusting of snow is possible but uncommon. Layers are the key to staying comfortable.

  • Warm layers, a sweater, and a jacket for cold mornings and nights
  • Comfortable clothes for milder afternoons
  • Closed-toe walking shoes for the dirt paths
  • Reusable water bottle, sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses
  • Lip balm and moisturizer for the dry air
  • Flashlight or headlamp, and a journal if you keep one
  • Any medications or supplements you need

Wi-Fi is available in the lounge and training rooms only. There is no Wi-Fi in the guest casitas, and the rooms have no televisions or phones. Computers with internet access are in the lounge. For mobile, Verizon is the most reliable carrier on the land; other carriers are often spotty, and the Welcome Center has a complimentary phone for local calls. Out here, that is part of the point. It is a good place to switch off for a couple of days.

The grounds are natural, with hills and dirt paths, and the center is not fully ADA accessible. The guest areas spread across about five acres, so you may walk up to a quarter mile between your room and the session halls, and vehicles are not permitted between buildings. If you have mobility or accessibility needs, contact the venue, Sedona Mago, directly before you book at welcome@sedonamagoretreat.org or +1.928.204.3391, and they can speak to the terrain. For anything else, reach us at info@insighteventsusa.com.

Yes. There is a self-service laundry room on site, operated by quarters. Detergent is available for purchase, and ironing boards are in the laundry room.

Dinner service ends at 7:00 pm. If you will arrive later, let us know in advance at welcome@sedonamagoretreat.org so a night packet can be ready for pickup in the Welcome Center foyer, and plan to eat before you reach the land.

No. There are no ATMs on the property, so bring any cash you may need in advance.

The venue minimum age is 16, and any minors must travel with and stay with a parent or guardian on the property. Service dogs are permitted; emotional support animals are not, and check-in is denied for an emotional support animal. Tell us in advance if you are bringing a service dog.

Your place includes two nights at Sedona Mago, all meals from Friday dinner through Sunday lunch, every teacher-led session and practice, and full run of the trails, labyrinths, lake, and grounds.

Not included: airfare, airport transportation, travel insurance, and incidentals.

Refunds are available up to 90 days before the start date, minus a $50 cancellation fee. The 3.5% ticketing fee is non-refundable, as it is not refunded to us. After that deadline we cannot offer refunds due to planning requirements, so we strongly recommend travel insurance with trip cancellation coverage. To request a refund, email info@insighteventsusa.com with your full name, the event name, your order number, and the reason

For everything, registration, reservations, rooms, meals, dietary needs, and logistics, contact us at info@insighteventsusa.com, Monday through Friday. We usually reply within one business day, and we handle all reservations, so you never need to contact Sedona Mago about your room. For mobility or accessibility questions about the land itself, contact Sedona Mago directly at welcome@sedonamagoretreat.org or +1.928.204.3391.

No. The sessions are open to anyone curious. The teachers explain what they mean as they go, and you do not need to have read anything beforehand.

Seeing No-Self

Katrijn Van Oudheusden

Katrijn Van Oudheusden writes about recognizing our nondual nature through direct inquiry. Originally from Belgium and raised in Thailand, she spent twenty years working in law and organizational development across the Netherlands and Germany. She now lives in Frankfurt.

Her approach is practical and empirical: rather than ask you to believe anything, she points to inquiries that show no-self in direct experience. She has written three books on nonduality, most recently Seeing No-Self, and writes a Daily Nonduality newsletter.

The Abstract Mind

Chris Niebauer, PhD

Chris Niebauer is a cognitive neuropsychologist and was a tenured professor at a state university for over 20 years. He earned his PhD at the University of Toledo, specializing in the differences between the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

He started noticing parallels between neuroscience and Buddhist thought as a grad student in the early 1990s, when the connection was dismissed as a coincidence. His books include No Self, No Problem and the forthcoming The Abstract Mind, out from Hierophant in August 2026.

Selfistry

Sarah Marshank

Sarah Marshank is a teacher, speaker, and the founder of Selfistry, a method for self-study and personal wholeness. She began her career in education, holding a bachelor’s in Alternative Education and a master’s in the History and Philosophy of Education.

Unable to guide others while stalled in her own growth, she spent more than ten years in retreat, living as a monk and studying across Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta, Tantra, Christianity, Judaism, and the Tao. She has spent the two decades since helping people reach that same quiet, centered ground, through an approach she calls Slow Spirituality. She is the author of Selfistry: A Guide to Embodying Timeless Spiritual Wisdom.

“Selfistry is an innovative and elegant system for helping you discover the truth of who you are and why you’re here. Every seeker needs guidance. The trinity of Selfistry’s three realms is a perfect map and method for these times, and Sarah is a trustworthy guide for any serious seeker.”
—Ram Dass, author of Be Here Now
