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.


Spirit of Costa Rica“Pura Vida,” Costa Rica’s National Slogan, translates simply to “Pure Life.” With 5% of the world’s biodiversity, pure life is the quintessential description of the Costa Rican experience.

On this 8 day, 7 night journey we will enjoy daily Spiritual Practice along with adventures such as soaking in Tabacon Hot Springs, hiking across suspension bridges above the rainforest, zip lining above the forest canopy and snorkeling in the azul water of the Pacific ocean.
