Our trip to Kerala was a wonderful journey into the history, culture and nature of the State! Our guide Remya chose interesting food experiences, took every challenge with grace and made things happen. Our tour leaders: Jeremy, Nancy, Parker, Cecily and Jane created serene pockets of music, meditation and yoga which grounded us all. Thank you for an unforgettable trip!

Nancy and Jeremy are such a phenomenal team!!! They put together a great tour of India. India brings so much beautiful chaos and they approached all of our adventures with grace and patience! The sound journeys, yoga nidras, with the addition of Jane’s morning yoga practices, Secily’s meditations, Parker’s additions to the sound journeys and rhythm work shop all made our tour of India a trip of a lifetime!!! From visiting the Taj Mahal, Lotus Temple, Ghandi’s cremation site to the 7 beautiful Ayverdic resorts in Kerala this trip met my bucket list expectations of India and then some!!! Looking forward to our next adventure with settle into stillness!!

It was a fabulous trip. The accommodations were fine as well as the food. But that really wasn’t what this trip was about for me. It was about experiencing India in a safe environment with great people. Definitely a 5 star experience there. Thank you to your team for making it happen! ❤️

Transformative Weekend Retreat: Yoga & Sound Healing Bliss I just returned from an incredible weekend retreat, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed into a peaceful destination designed for relaxation, self-discovery, and healing. The daily yoga sessions were beautifully guided, and infused with mindfulness. Each class helped me deepen my practice, release tension, and reconnect with my body and breath. The instructor was not only knowledgeable but also created a nurturing space The highlight for me was the sound bowl healing sessions. The soothing vibrations of the bowls resonated deeply, melting away stress and allowing me to enter a meditative state unlike anything I’ve experienced before. It was a truly transformative and rejuvenating experience. Beyond the sessions, the retreat setting was stunning—serene nature, cozy accommodations, and nourishing meals that supported our journey toward wellness. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, ensuring a seamless blend of relaxation and growth. If you’re looking for a weekend to unwind, recharge, and immerse yourself in healing practices, this retreat is an absolute must. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and more in tune with myself. I will definitely be returning!
