Meet Michele
Meditation teacher. Scientist. Sedona local. Curious human.
Hi, I’m Michele Mattix, founder of Sedona Meditation Experiences.
I’ve been exploring meditation for most of my life. It started when I was a freshman at a Catholic high school in Indiana in the 1980s. An Indian man in our community offered a meditation workshop at my school, and I was immediately intrigued. I was fascinated by the Beatles and their journey to India to learn meditation, so naturally, I wanted to know what this was all about.
Over the years, I explored different practices and tried—with varying degrees of success—to teach myself more “formal” meditation. I was interested in it, but I often felt like I was trying to figure out how to do it correctly.
Then I came to Sedona in 1997.
Something changed here. Meditation stopped feeling like something I was trying to do and started feeling completely natural. I would sit outside in the beautiful desert, get quiet, tune into the landscape and simply meditate.
And that’s essentially what I help people do now.
“Her sessions invite you to meditation—and the energy of Sedona in general—in a refreshingly grounded and approachable way.”

You don't have to believe in Sedona's vortexes—or anything in particular—to experience this place. Come with an open mind and see what happens. Sedona invites your intuition to come out and play!
A Little about My Training
I’m a certified Meditation and Mindfulness Instructor through the McLean Meditation Institute and a certified Ancestral Healing Practitioner through Ancestral Medicine.
My formal meditation training gave me something especially valuable: language for experiences I had already been exploring for years. It helped me learn how to explain abstract concepts, make meditation accessible, and guide people with very different levels of experience.
But technique is never the point for me. Meditation is a way of becoming quiet enough to notice.
And after all these years, that simple act of paying attention—outdoors, in this remarkable place—is still at the heart of what I do.
Come curious. I’ll meet you there.

Host Your Experience: Create Signature Experiences that Attract Clients without the Salesy Hustle
After years of creating and facilitating experiences in Sedona, I wrote Host Your Experience to help others turn what they know and love into meaningful experiences of their own.
The philosophy behind the book is the same one that shapes Sedona Meditation Experiences: create the conditions, pay attention to the people in front of you, and make room for something meaningful to happen.
