The Story of Journey

JOURNEY

Sedona, like the film festival that calls it home, is intense.  There is no in-between to Sedona.  Sedona either claims you so you can’t leave or tries to spit you out, making your stay here super uncomfortable.  Synchronicity is amplified here; both positive synchronicity and negative synchronicity.  Sedona isn’t just home to several vortexes.  It literally is a vortex.

 It is a vortex in the middle of a barren Arizona desert, cradled by mystical red rock monuments.  It is full to the brim with people whose life experience had made it so they simply could not make it work in the mainstream world.  The concentration of them has made Sedona an alternate new age reality.  People here are awake.  They are engaged in all kinds of methods of escaping, but they are awake.  Awake people are always more intense than those who are asleep.

The dominant negative vibration in Sedona is: Shirking.  To shirk is to avoid or neglect something that one considers to be a duty or responsibility.  And Sedona is absolutely teeming with people for whom moving here is a part of avoiding a sense of responsibility and duty.  Sedona is like the unofficial new age/modern hippie capital of the world.  Obviously, there are so many things I love about the new age community.  It is the community I resonate with the very most.  But like everything, there are shadows inherent in the new age community as well.  One of those shadows is shirking
