Set against the wild, magnetic backdrop of Sedona’s red rocks, The Vortex Workshop is where soul meets strategy. You’ll dig deep, get clearity, and build a business that actually feels like you.

Sedona is known for its vortexes—powerful pockets of swirling energy where the earth pulses with intensity.
 Let’s gather there. To reconnect with your purpose. To refine your vision. To rebuild your business from the inside out.

 Are you ready for a shift?

This is it.

KIND WORDS FROM AN ATTENDEE + FRIEND

The stunning images? They’re just the icing on the cake for these events. The real gift of Unraveled events is the community. It’s the people you reach out to when you’re looking for feedback. It’s the ones you bounce ideas off when you’re stuck. It’s the friendships that fuel your soul and your art long after the retreat is over. I am endlessly grateful for these experiences and plan to continue prioritizing Unraveled Academy retreats as a core part of my growth — as an artist, a business owner, and a person shaping a creative life exactly the way I envision it.

At the most recent retreat in the California desert, Kade Bailey asked us to dig deep and try to answer the question: When do you feel your most magnetic self? Your magnetic self - defined as authentic, connected, grounded, free, thriving. For me, the answer was easily found right in front of me…
I feel my most magnetic self at these Unraveled retreats.
