the call...
India is a magical land that connects us in transforming deep ways to our soul… her energy, her people and ancestral dedication to connection to Goddess/ God.

This land supports our internal journey with unique experiences with her contrasts, and with Yogic philosophy.

Many of the spiritual practices we observe in the west come from or have been developed in India & to be in the land of such connection, brings us into deeper union with our soul.

This mystical land invites us to explore through inner reflection, elevated consciousness, deeper self-knowledge to ground our contribution & impact in this world.

In this Pilgrimage we will connect directly to India, her energy, gastronomy, culture, and traditions to honor the Mystery and the awe of such a land.

We invite you to join us on this once in a lifetime trip through the unforgettable North India.

You will be held and supported by us and our team as we explore such a mystical and wise land. We are here to facilitate the expansion of consciousness and connection of our animal, human and soul Self.

This experience will be guided both in English and Spanish.

India is a unique country of contrast and diversity enriched with culture and an ancient past full of traditions and legends. On this beautiful trip we will offer you an experience that will remain in your heart forever.
