The Song Within: Sedona

What would happen if more people took the time to look to their communities for strength and healing, asks Enocha Ryan, an artist who lives in Sedona, AZ. That question is at the heart of The Song Within: Sedona, an interesting documentary from filmmaker Kathy Douglas about a number of creative women living in the land of bold sandstone formations who turn to one another for support and sustenance. Ryan, who runs a sanctuary for people trying to replenish exhausted spirits, says the natural beauty of the area reflects the internal beauty of those seekers who come to find themselves. Andrea McShane Radoccia, a dancer and gardener, suggests that trusting where one's inner compass is leading is essential for good living. Along with her husband, Radoccia has slowly built a vast complex for living, working, and providing a soulful getaway, all made from natural resources. Composer and author Ani Williams describes her mission as a quest to see how all things are moved by the power of music, while Rhianne Teija NewLahnd describes the magic of finding a place within a woman's group, and being seen for who she is in that healthy atmosphere. A number of other delightful women also weigh in here on the benefits of living in Sedona. Recommended. Aud: C, P. (T. Keogh)
