The English word spirit comes
from the Latin spiritus, meaning
“breath.” Indeed, spirit is as
empty, yet as vital, as the breath.
And just as the body needs food
and the mind needs stimulation,
your spirit needs nourishment.
Perhaps it’s time to enrich the
essence of your being with a
Spiritual Journey with us!Come join us on a
Spiritual Adventure!

In Bali prayer is a way of life!On the island of Bali there is a link to enlightenment. The Balinese make daily offerings with woven palm leaves and beautiful flowers, as the aroma of incense fills the air and the smoke carries the prayers to the heavens.
Our founder Jim Cramer lived in Bali 10 years studying sacred mask dance and his children, tour leaders Gitana and Tim Omi grew up in Bali. The island lives in their hearts and that love for Bali shines through during this tour.

For years, Bhutan deliberately isolated itself from the outside world and has only recently opened its borders to visitors. In Bhutan the Buddhist culture is integrated into every aspect of daily life, and those fortunate enough to visit describe it as a unique, deeply spiritual and mystical experience.
The kingdom of Bhutan, nestled between Tibet and India, is located high in the majestic Himalayas . On this journey with famed Bhutanese guide Tshering Jamtsho, we will be guests at a Tshecu festival, where sacred trance dances are performed; we will be amazed at the wonders of the Punakha Dzong, built in 1637 and we will hike to Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest) monastery nestled on a cliff high above the Paro valley. The local inhabitants call Bhutan “Druk Yul,” land of the peaceful dragon.

“A scow cuts through the clear water, sailing slowly through Milford Sound. I watch dolphins jumping while new waterfalls are being born. On the rocks furry seals lazing where harmony and calm abound. The fiord’s cliffs rise from the dark waters, where yellow crested penguins flock and mountains peaks scrape the grey clouds, as heaven’s deluge thunders down.”
–Manassian Quintain
