Journeys
Somewhere new. Something familiar.
Every year, I lead two journeys — one abroad, one closer to home — each one built on the same idea: that travel and practice are doing the same work. Both ask you to step into the unknown. Both, done right, bring you back to yourself.
The Heart of It
Why travel to practice
There's a particular kind of aliveness that comes from being somewhere unfamiliar — a new place, new faces around the circle, a language you don't quite speak, food you've never tasted, a culture different than your own. It wakes something up. It's supposed to.
And in the middle of all that newness, we sit down together, and breathe. The same breath. The same stillness that holds you on your mat at home holds you here too — in a different country, a different landscape, surrounded by strangers who, by the end of the week, are not strangers anymore.
That's the quiet discovery every journey holds: the outside world can be entirely unfamiliar, and still — through breath, through practice, through presence — you find you were already home. Already arrived. Effortless being, in a place you've never been before.
Two Journeys Each Year
One abroad. One closer to home.
Each year, I lead one international retreat (1 week)— a full immersion in a new landscape, new culture, and daily practice together, alongside excursions that let you actually meet the place you've traveled to, not just observe it from a resort. All venues are carefully selected to hold space for us.
And one domestic journey (3-4 days) — closer to home, easier to reach, but no less immersive. A chance to go deeper without the full leap of international travel.
Both are built the same way: practice each morning, and afternoon, real exploration in between, workshops/guest speakers and a group that arrives as individuals and leaves as something closer to family.
