Thank you, James Bailey, Tanya Boigenzahn, and Tawny Sterios. You held the space while I cracked my heart over the spire of India, golden yolk, pure honey, forever changed, I feel the sway and surrender of the fisherman’s line, India is decisive yet not cut-throat, illuminating my inner peace by the way of love. There are no words, but here I try to find a meager few. Thank you! For a trip that takes one deeper down into their inner cave, where tangible life and heart merge, dance and celebrate. I leapt with joy and might, catapulted into a hyperspace of self-growth and discovery with the awe around every corner during this trip. What began as trepidation and a challenge to myself to uptake traveling again has turned into soft, glowing memories of a lifetime, new friends, beautiful cultural experiences and a full full heart. Meet yourself in India. The nurturing there will help you do this. This has been the trip that keeps on giving as the lessons of India are deep and eye-opening. I am so thankful!

I wish I were still in India!!! Wow! The colors, textures, warmth, joy, flavors…it’s really indescribable using words…it’s a full body (and beyond!) experience. The trip was like going into another dimension of life and of myself…each day India asked me to open more. Open more to my feelings, open more to my spirit, open more to the love that was all around me in the magic of each moment. I remember the first-day hearing so many layers of sounds — chickens, dogs, voices chanting, voices laughing, the sound of my breath, the sound of the waves, the sound of silverware tinkling. Each minute in India felt like this — layer upon layer upon layer. I have never felt so full, and yet also so simultaneously open…never felt so connected to myself and never so totally disconnected from what I thought was me. This is a trip I am still digesting in many ways. Some of my favorite moments were the day of the first treatment, seeing my therapist’s eyes so full of warmth and love and peace, and I felt more mothered and safe than I think I ever have! Another blessing was being at the Taj Mahal, the temple of devotion to love, and feeling a wave of softness and acceptance like I was standing in the middle of my own heart. Seeing the River Ganges and the cremation grounds…whoa. I thought I would have been scared but I was mesmerized…I could have stayed there forever, feeling the pulse, the cycle, the reverence of it all. Thank you, James and Sevanti Adventures for offering this trip. Pieces of me are still in India, and maybe always will be. Even now I can feel the love for that place, and the love that it sends back to me. I am truly grateful.

Thank you so very much James for taking us across the world to find magic, transformation, spirit and play. I enjoyed the journey so so much, laughed a ton, got rest, relaxed and felt more excited about life! I’m still processing it all and enjoying it. It’s the trip that keeps giving! This journey was a life changer! Deep Ayurveda rejuvenation in the warm Kerala ocean waters, inspiring ancient temples, ceremonies, delicious south Indian cuisine, safety, play, adventure, shopping and downtime. The journey had the best of it all and it was all extraordinaire. Gratitude to all my sister travelers too for the ways you each blew open my heart, the belly with laughs, the true care, the deep sharing, inspiration offered, and instant friendship you all provided. The connections continue to unfold. You all have a room here in San Luis Obispo, CA to come play any time!

So much magic unravels throughout this journey! Thank you James for this incredible experience that we all will keep in our hearts and memories forever. The restorative week at Somatheeram Resort with Ayurvedic daily treatments and morning yoga led by Tawny Sterios. Waking up in Kerala, India and stepping outside to the incredible views of the Arabian Sea. Shopping with friends from the group in the local area. Traveling to North India and visiting the Taj Mahal, Varanasi – one of the oldest cities in the World, boat rides along the Ganges River and riding the Rickshaws with Tawny will be a moment I’ll never forget! The food was incredible throughout the entire trip, the rooms were beautiful, the smiles and great hospitality were endless, and I always felt so safe. Thank you for this experience!
