Overview
Life continues to test, press and squeeze us. It is a testament to our spiritual endurance to continuously seek our center and reground ourselves. For centuries, India has invoked the deep yearnings of the soul for truth, connection and devotion. Going on pilgrimage provides a unique opportunity to dive deep into an ancient spiritual culture that can reawaken our sense of inner fulfillment.
As pilgrims, we approach our journey in a mood of opening our minds and hearts with humility so that genuine transformation can take place in our lives. You will be in the company of supportive fellow travelers and form friendships that often last a lifetime. Throughout our journey, we will sing sacred songs in Kirtan, hear and discuss teachings from yoga texts, take part in relationship retreat, Ayurveda healing sessions, guided meditation, regular asana practice, and share wholesome meals together. From ancient temples and breathtaking landscapes to colorful palaces and simple-hearted yogis imbued with spiritual wisdom and love, we can enter into a world beyond anything we’ve ever experienced.

Schedule
First, we fly into Delhi and travel to catch our flight to the most mystical land of Rishikesh. Often referred to as the capital of yoga, Rishikesh sits at the foothills of the Himalayas and is historically a place where saints, seekers, and yogis would go to engage in deep meditation. We will visit local ashrams, go on nature hikes, do walking kirtan around town, and most importantly we will get the opportunity to take a sacred bath in the Ganga River. We will spend our last few days in the most sacred of villages, Vrindavan; a village with over 5,000 temples celebrating the birthplace of Lord Krsna. Here we will visit temples and holy sites, hear stories from sadhus, do lots of kirtan, and partake in pilgrimage around the sacred town. We will be in Vrindavan during the holiest month of the whole year, so expect a beautiful and lively experience of Bhakti.
