Dear friends, “India is a furnace of transformation.” – Andrew Harvey I would like to invite you on an extraordinary adventure to South India. My first time there with Andrew Harvey, his words came to life. Ever since, I have wanted to share this experience with a group of like-minded travelers. It’s finally happening! My friend Charles and I have put together an amazing itinerary. Charles was our local guide during my first trip to India, and I couldn’t think of a better person to guide us through his homeland. His kindness and knowledge are unparalleled, and I can’t wait for you to meet him. My intention is for you to see and experience the most memorable parts of my past trips, plus new adventures we will discover together. I have crafted our journey to take us along the flow of the chakras from the roots to the crown of our being. We will immerse ourselves into this magical land, as we travel from the golden temples and deities of Tamil Nadu to the lush jungles and backwaters of Kerala. India awakens all our senses. We will stay in gorgeous locations and taste exquisite food and spices. We will learn, do yoga, meditate, walk on dirt and the softest carpets, dance, laugh and cry. To really embrace India, it is vital to let go and drop our brain into our heart – literally. We have to let go of logic. Because things will often not make sense. India is not understood with the intellect, but with the deepest part of our heart. Allow yourself to be surprised, inspired, challenged, overwhelmed and transformed. India is generous, she will give herself to you completely. Its people will welcome you with open hearts and smiles. On this trip, we will give back to her in the form of a donation to a school for physically and mentally challenged children. I have witnessed first-hand the love, care and devotion of this school, and I can’t think of a better way to show Mother India gratitude than to care for her children. I wrote the poem below after my first week in India. I’m sharing it with you to convey the transformational power of this beautiful land. Are you ready to fall in love with India? FALLING IN LOVE WITH INDIA India has brought me to my knees, Literally. I have sat in dirt, knelt down on floors grimy with age and decay. It has assaulted my senses... (South India, February 2019)

Being from Canada, a huge and cold country, I chose to spend my winters in India for a few years because I'm retired now! How to explain my attraction for this country so different from mine? How do I describe how I feel when my feet touch the Indian soil? How to say all the states of mind that I have in contact with the people of this unique country in the world? What touches my heart are these beautiful children I meet everywhere with their bright dark eyes and their nice smiles... India is for me a refuge where I come to relax and where I come to challenge myself in relation to my North American values. I listen and see how people live here and I'm learning a lot about being in the moment and living more simply.
