These week-long journeys take you to places of philosophical, religious, or historical significance and celebrate both existing and emerging cultures. Days are spent listening to lectures by scholars and artists, touring sites of interest, and quietly reflecting.

It is important to us that you have a celebratory experience with the other participants as well as the opportunity to spend time alone or interacting with the locals. We choose settings that allow for both the formation of a cohesive community and the possibility for you to explore on your own.

Our inaugural journey will be to Nepal. Further details will be forthcoming.

The Participants

We assemble a diverse, and at times international, group of a maximum of 30 participants who have an interest in expanding their awarenesses of both themselves and other cultures.

IMPORTANT

Please note that we do not accept applicants on a first come, first served basis, in an effort to create a balanced, diverse group. We generally receive many more applicants than we are able to accommodate, necessitating a waiting list. Please see the specific deadline information for each trip. Once you are notified that you have been accepted, you will need to send a deposit to secure your place. This deposit may or may not be refundable.
