The founder of SPG is Dennis Andres, "Mr. Sedona." He is the guide for our "Perfect Day in Sedona," and is the trainer of all other team members.

A true outdoorsman, Dennis' adventures have included mystical experiences at Machu Picchu, dinner with the king of Mustang, honors from the Siberian Communist Party, safaris in Africa, a blessing from the Dalai Lama, and service as a diplomat for the U.S. Government in Kazakhstan.

Since 1996, Dennis has tapped his passion for energy, nature and sacred sites by guiding international spiritual adventures to Nepal, Peru, Tibet, Tuscany, Hawaii, and the American Southwest. His main focus is on Sedona itself, his home, where he has hiked more than 5,000 miles.

He is the author of “What Is A Vortex? A Practical Guide to Sedona's Energy Sites”, “Sedona’s Top 10 Hikes,” and “Sedona: The Essential Guidebook.” Dennis knows so much about Red Rock Country that people simply call him “Mr. Sedona.”

The inner work that accompanies his outdoor adventures has been noted by CBS, FOX, the Weather Channel, and USA Network on television; Arizona Highways, National Geographic Adventurer, Rachael Ray, and Scottsdale magazines; the Chopra Center, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Arizona Republic, Fodors and Frommers guidebooks, and many other sources.
