VOGUE: “Can ‘Grief Travel’ Help Transform An Aching Heart?”
L’Auberge de Sedona was recently featured in VOGUE as a standout destination for “grief travel”—an intentional form of wellness travel designed to support emotional healing. In a deeply personal piece, writer Leslie Hsu Oh shares how her stay, including the Pursuit of Peace package and sound healing sessions, offered solace and restoration after loss.
“For all of travel’s noted benefits, the scientific evidence around how it might help us cope with grief is shockingly limited. Still, anyone who has Eat Pray Love-d their way through a broken heart knows the transformative healing power of a well-timed trip.
Feeling fatigued, frustrated, and unsettled, we checked into L’Auberge de Sedona, which offers sound healing meant to honor the “passing of a loved one, endings of relationships, and completion of careers” as part of their Pursuit of Peace package. In a candlelit room, the resonance created by several crystal singing bowls realigned and rebalanced the nervous systems that had been disrupted since their deaths.”
