About
Our Story
Everything that you see today at the Sedona Wolf Sanctuary once was the vision of Healingwolf, a local sha-woman who had an out-of-body experience at a young age that inspired her to create a place where wolves and people could truly find peace. Not only has her vision become a reality, but the sanctuary has succeeded beyond her wildest dreams and attracts people from all over the world who are eager to feel more connected to nature and their own inner beings. She believed, like the natives, that wolves are not just meant to be spirit animals, but rather that wolves are our greatest teachers - if we allow ourselves to open our eyes and see the lessons.
We welcome you to this ancient, sacred place with open arms along your journey. Get ready for an unforgettable experience with these beautiful creatures.
The Sedona Wolf Sanctuary is a uniquely spiritual sanctuary and attraction that harnesses the power of ancient medicine wheels and wolf magic.
“Incredible experience. Cynthia was kind, knowledgeable, and definitely takes her role as protector of a sacred land very seriously, which is amazing. Being with the wolves was truly a rare and magical experience. I brought my Boyfriend here for his birthday and he said it was his favorite birthday ever. We will definitely be back!”
— Samantha P. from Las Vegas, Nevada
“This place is so special! Anybody living or visiting the area MUST visit this wolf sanctuary. Cynthia is a great host and guide into the life of the wolf. The land is so sacred and special as well. Being able to share space with these beautiful creatures on this land is very healing. I will be back again and again to support Sedona Wolf Sanctuary.”
— Kim B. from Phoenix, Arizona
“What a wonderful experience! Loved everything about this place. The wolves, of course, took center stage (beautiful and majestic with each wolf so unique in personality and relatability), but the history of the place was equally fascinating: ancient medicine wheel, birthing tree, the stage coach home and trails/old roads you follow to get there. Highly recommend! Our family will chat about this for decades to come!”
— Kristen K. from Renton, Washington
“Life begins after wolf kisses! Absolutely sweet couple that takes the time to share history of the land and stories of each wolf. Sharing their dream with others. Definitely a must visit whenever in the area. Looking forward to seeing the pack again in the future.”
— Paul O. from Chatham, Illinois
“Cynthia and Xavier provide the most magickal experience, preparing you for your own inner journey to connect with the power of wolf medicine. Sharing the wisdom of not only how to communicate with the wolf but the ancestral wisdom of the land itself. To say I was moved to tears as I felt a deep heart opening is an understatement. An experience at the Sedona Wolf Sanctuary is a healing place to gain wisdom and insight for your earthwalk.”
— Robbyne L. from Waiheke Island, New Zealand
“Incredible experience! SO well-worth the trip down from Sedona! The owners gave a tremendously warm and informative tour, filled with stories, and their own observations and experiences of wolf behaviors. The experience was rich with explanations and demonstrations of Native American spiritual practices. Of course, the wolf interactions were the most exciting part. Admittedly, the approach to the property is a far cry from Disneyland, but press on - the second you enter the gates, Cynthia’s honest welcome will fill your heart and mind to receive a truly unforgettable experience!”
— Jennifer M. from St. George, Utah
“A special place and feeling. Definitely a healing and energy balancing place. It was amazing when Cynthia started her opening greeting by the medicine wheel and the breezes came up and stopped when she finished speaking. We were one of the first to see their wolf pup Luna...not so little! And Thor welcomed us immediately. We felt so privileged.”
— Sharon S. from Kelowna, Canada
“Xavier and Cynthia provided us with deep knowledge of the land, the natives, and their wolves. The energy this place held was incredibly healing. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable experience while here in AZ. We will definitely be coming back!”
— Destiny W. from Denton, Texas
“One of the coolest things I’ve ever done. From the moment I heard about Sedona Wolf Sanctuary I knew I had to be there and I would recommend it to everyone. Interacting with the animals and feeling their energy was amazing. I will be back!”
— Erin L. from Phoenix, Arizona
“Exceeded all expectations! This was the most incredible animal encounter I’ve ever had. I’m still in awe that I actually got to touch a wolf. So glad the Sedona Wolf Sanctuary takes such good care of the wolves in their care, as well as the spiritual land they live on. This is a MUST on the bucket list.”
— Patti A. from Glendale, Arizona
