Debra Stangl and Richard Kepple
Co-authors of High-Vibe Relationship, Partners in Sedona Soul Adventures, Awakened Executive Contributors
Debra Stangl and Richard Kepple don’t just talk about high-vibe love—they live it. As co-authors of High-Vibe Relationship and partners in Sedona Soul Adventures, they’ve guided thousands of people to release the “gunk” that blocks love and step into relationships that are sexy, soulful, and sustainable. With over 40 years of combined experience working with couples, they’ve seen it all—and they know what actually makes love last.
Sedona Soul Adventures has been named Best of Sedona for Retreats, Best Marriage Retreats in the U.S. for a decade, and has been featured everywhere from Forbes and The Washington Post to USA Today, Fortune, and the Today Show.
Debra traded twenty years as a divorce attorney for decades of transformational retreat work, while Richard swapped billion-dollar Silicon Valley boardrooms for breathwork, fatherhood, and the love of his life. Together, they created the High-Vibe Relationship System, a playful, practical, and profound roadmap for conscious partnership.
In 2025, they rocked the Mindvalley University Tribe stage in Amsterdam, showing quantum love isn’t about chasing—it’s about becoming. Their own marriage is proof: passionate, spiritual, fun, and real enough to laugh about dishwasher fights while teaching how to heal the wounds underneath.

The Gateway of Gratitude – Your Fastest Way to Access the Quantum Field
Let us make a bold statement – Gratitude is the most powerful thing you can use to bring in everything you want in your life – from Enlightenment to a house on the beach.
Why is Gratitude so powerful? Gratitude brings us into a higher energetic vibration. When we are feeling negative emotions – anger, frustration, jealousy – we are vibrating at a much lower frequency and worse, we are attracting to ourselves exactly what we don’t want and bringing in more and more of it. Experiencing true gratitude is one of the easiest and fastest ways to bring yourself back into a higher and faster energetic vibration that will then attract everything you DO want into your life. It’s one of the easiest ways we know to flip the switch.
Sedona Soul Adventures: Transformative Retreats for Life and Love – An Interview with Debra Stangl and Richard Kepple
For Debra Stangl and Richard Kepple, the path to love, purpose, and soul alignment was anything but simple. Debra, once a divorce attorney weighed down by unhappiness, discovered her calling when a vision of the goddess Isis urged her to leave everything behind and begin anew in Sedona. Richard, a Silicon Valley success story with fast cars, oceanfront homes, and a stroke at 46, realized that achievement meant little without spiritual alignment.
Drawn together through what seemed like chance—yet clearly orchestrated by the universe—they not only found each other, but also built Sedona Soul Adventures. In this sanctuary, individuals and couples release old patterns, heal deep wounds, and reconnect with their highest selves. Now, with over two decades of guiding thousands through transformation, they share their insights on energy, purpose, and what it means to create a truly “high vibe relationship.”
Bringing the Shadow Out of the Shadow
When I first encountered Debbie Ford’s book The Dark Side of the Light Chasers back in 1998, I had no idea how pivotal it would be for me. That book landed in my lap like a divine appointment. I finished it just before I made my first life-changing trip to Sedona in 1999. For the first time, I was introduced to the idea that what we push away, deny, or repress—the parts of ourselves we don’t want to acknowledge—are not just negative traits or shameful impulses. They are also our greatest teachers and doorways to healing. In her book, Debbie brought together the rigor of Jungian psychology with the expansiveness of spirituality, and gave us language to address something that had always been lurking just beneath the surface: the shadow.
