Mission

We offer immersive journeys into the Buddhist cultures of the Himalayan region, through discovering the living wisdom tradition that lives in this part of the world. Our expertise comes from merging eastern and western perspectives. Our facilitators are well versed in ‘Buddhist Studies’ & have a daily meditation practice for more than 5 years. We become pilgrims (rather than tourists) as we immerse ourselves fully into the raw, uplifting cultures of this region.
