YOGA MEDITATION TREKKING ADVENTURE TO NEPAL

NOVEMBER 3rd-15th, 2018

GET YOUR PASSPORTS, BACKPACKS, & GOOD SHOES READY FOR A REAL BUCKET-LIST ADVENTURE!(Yep, seeing this culture, these flags, BEING in this sacred land, feeling this holy history is on my bucket-list, no doubt—Thanks for the reminder, KM). & I guess there really is some seriousness to that. I want to live now. To trust the ever-present abundance of the universe & live vibrantly this one life in this body of mine. My very best friend, my mother, is living, knowing she has a terminal illness. We watched my father go through this years ago. My point is this, we are here to live. Now. Let’s go big or go home, I say. In Peru late last year I chose Nepal as my dream place for the next retreat. A small handful of months later in walks this incredible human Sarah who has lead several retreats to Nepal already, ready to partner up with me in creating what I feel will be a high-heart experience. One to tear the heart’s old pages out, one to write fluidly and anew the next chapter in the adventure story. Expansion time. Let’s go. 

Official Registration is open!(checks & cash accepted at this time only. Credit card deposits available mid-May). 

Our itinerary is set! & we’ve left some wiggle room to add spontaneous adventures should something catch our fancy once in country. We will travel on both ruddy rubber Jeep wheels as well as our own good feet, trekking from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Expect to visit sacred Hindu temples and Buddhist monasteries, trek through the breathtaking Himalayan landscape of the Annapurna Range, dip into natural hot springs, encounter mule trains carrying supplies to remote villages, and dip your toes in Lake Fewa in Pokhara. Nepal is a remote and beautiful country that offers an off-the-beaten path adventure for those seeking a rugged and spiritually-charged travel experience. Culturally, Nepal is home to people from both Hindu and Buddhist backgrounds, and traveling through this landscape is to experience both the sacred and the holy.

A love note about Sarah:

Sarah is a registered yoga teacher who currently teaches here in Austin. She has spent more than 5 years working in Nepal, running community development initiatives in remote villages of the Himalayas and leading service-minded individuals on mountain adventures. She considers Nepal to be a second home, and she can’t wait to return for this spirit-filled adventure.

Cost includes:

All food (minus a meal or two should anyone decide to go out on their own, though food is inexpensive).

All lodging(3 nights nicer hotels & a Bed & Breakfast stay in Kathmandu, 2 nights nicer hotels in Pokhara. This is a true adventure, so expect the experience of “roughing it” in quaint yet rudimentary tea houses when trekking. We will take time for rest, but expect to get your idyllic exercise in with some days of 3-hour treks followed up with restorative yoga & meditation, though our solid meditation schedule runs early each morning *all is optional if you’re tired and desire to sleep in or meditate under a tree.)

24/7 In-country Nepalese guides, one who goes by the name of Karma (yes, Karma!) (Holy moly I’m excited!)

All in country transportation expenses (prepare for JEEP rides!)

All daily planned adventures including entrance into the Annapurna Conservation, Nepal’s largest protected area covering nearly 3,000 square miles in the Annapurna range of the Himalayas & the most popular trekking destination in the country. The area is rich in biodiversity and is a treasure house for over 1,000 species of flowering plants, 100 mammals, nearly 500 birds, 39 reptiles and 22 amphibians. It contains the world’s deepest river gorge (full of fossils!!!) & the world’s largest rhododendron forest as well as the world’s highest altitude fresh water lake. PS, I hear word we may see a RHINO or two.

A non-refundable deposit of $595 is required to hold your spot. 

We have a strong yes-list of folks interested and will be capping the number of travelers for this particular retreat, but don’t worry, if you don’t get a spot right away we will put your name on the waiting list.

*$300 OFF IF REGISTERING WITHIN 30 DAYS from today—WOO HOO!

This would bring your retreat cost down from $4,800 to $4,500. *Equal monthly payment plans available.

Roommate!: Base-cost of 4,800 unless you sign up within 30 days from today and receive $300 off (we will find you the best roomy for you unless you’re coming with a friend, partner, or already have a roomy picked out amongst yourselves.)

*Price of international flight not included (we were guesstimating costs around November to average 1,400/1,500 though Travelocity today showed some for just a hair over $1,000!!! Pleasantly surprised are we, to say the least.)
