Recent visitors could've attended a seminar by Gabriel of Sedona. If you can understand the topics covered, you probably don't need to attend. They included planetary divine administration, complementary relationships between ascending sons and daughters, ascension science and inter-universal physics, and the repercussions of the Lucifer Rebellion. The seminar closes with a chat by the Bright and Morning Star of Salvington, head administrator of our universe. Many locals aren't enamored of the weird reputation Sedona has earned worldwide, and see other downsides to Sedona's continued popularity.
Spiritual living is costly.
Because the rents paid by shop owners are so high, the price of goods is high as well. Even food shopping is affected. Some Sedona residents, including retired writer Alan Caillou, drive to a neighboring town to get a bargain on groceries. High housing costs force workers to move elsewhere. Even so, development is a divisive issue, and it isn't the construction of homes on acre lots that causes the upset.
