Sandra Cosentino, M.S.,creator, owner and head guide for Crossing Worlds Journeys, has been offering quality experiences of the Southwest since 1992. Prior to that she was a school teacher, natural resource manager, forest service fire look-out and worked professionally for and with Native American groups. She creates customized nature-cultural and earth-spirit-shamanic personal growth and educational experiences for colleges, universities, families, businesses, international and domestic groups and visitors from around the world. Her circle of heartful, knowledgeable guides and teachers include traditional Native Americans living on their homelands and other talented professional guides, resource people, entertainers and holistic practitioners.

A native of this land from an Arizona pioneer family, Sandra draws on a lifetime's experience of exploring the Southwest, listening to Nature and sharing friendship and respect with indigenous Peoples. Sensuous red canyons, jagged volcanic mountains and buttes are part of her inner landscape. She resonates with the vibrant energies of a land alive with stories, sun and rocks that speak and renew life. Her informed passion, knowledge of the land and peoples, mystical understandings, intuition and warm welcome create a bridge for you to enter this world.
