Millions of people visit Sedona, Arizona each year, drawn to the majestic red rock landscape. "Most people visit Sedona and go home after enjoying only its beautiful scenery," says Lee.

It has a unique power to open people's eyes to the magnificence of the Earth and their own spirit, and to uplift their consciousness.

In The Call of Sedona, Ilchi Lee shares his personal memoirs and the inspirations he received in Sedona. The book also provides a range of advice on meditation and spirituality that will benefit anyone, anywhere.

Lee describes how anyone can empower the self by experiencing the true spirit of Sedona—even without stepping onto Sedona's soil.  

Lee believes that his experiences in Sedona have informed his actions and helped him develop ways to reach more people around the world. He not only feels a strong connection to Sedona, but also a deep sense of gratitude. In this spirit of gratitude, Lee is donating 30 percent of his royalties from the sale of his book to three Sedona area charities: Camp Soaring Eagle, Yavapai Big Brother Big Sisters and the Sedona Community Center.

Ilchi Lee is an educator, mentor and trailblazer devoted to developing the awakened brain and teaching energy principles.
