			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Join New Thought Minister Rev. David Ault for a profoundly heart-opening spiritual journey of service to Siem Reap, Cambodia</strong> &#8211; home of the incredible ancient temples of <strong>Angkor Wat</strong>. To open oneself deeply, to risk feeling the suffering of others, and to wish to relieve that suffering &#8211; is the definition of compassion and the cultivation of the Buddha within us. As Gandhi once said: <em>The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others</em>.</p>

<h2><strong>Mysterious &amp; Ancient Temples</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>We&#8217;ll have the opportunity to explore the amazing temple complex at Angkor Wat</strong> &#8211; or at least a part of it! Built in the 12th century, Angkor Wat lies north of the modern town of Siem Reap and was originally Hindu dedicated to the God Vishnu. Around a century later the official religion was changed to Buddhism. Since Buddha was a Hindu, the change of religion was adopted seamlessly and people converted from Hindu to Theravada Buddhist, which continues to the present day.</p>
<h2><strong>Unconditional Love in Action ♥</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Service is often called unconditional love in action</strong> &#8211; to give totally of yourself is to be free of ego, 100% present, doing what is needed without judgment. In these moments our heart opens and the truth of who we are comes through &#8211; our divine presence. <strong>Volunteer travel is a powerful experience</strong> &#8211; you risk coming home with a clearer vision of what you want in life, a deeper sense of self-realization, and clarity about who you are and your purpose in life!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Listen to David&#8217;s Teleclass:</span> &#8220;Moving from Me To We: Self-Realization Through Service!&#8221;</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.journeysofthespirit.com/teleclasses/service-teleclass/" target="_blank"><strong>Sign up</strong></a> and receive the recording now.</p>
<h2><strong>There is Good Here</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Take a moment to enjoy the beautiful video (on the right &#8211;&gt;) </strong>that David created from pictures of his previous journeys to Cambodia. <strong>He is singing a special song</strong> he created to raise funds for his special projects: building fresh water wells, providing anti-malaria nets, chicken husbandry program, and a school for the children. Truly David is an extraordinary man passionate about a wonderful cause.</p>
<blockquote><p>I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.<br />
~Rabindranath Tagore</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Grey Whales are amazing creatures living 50-60 years, growing to over 50 feet, and weighing around 36 tons! </strong>It is with great respect and concern for their conservation and protection that we embark on this whale watching journey of the heart. Each year in October the Grey Whales make a <strong>2-3 month </strong>journey of 5,000–6,800 miles (8,000–11,000 km)<strong> from the Bering Sea down to the western coast of Baja Mexico to give birth to their calves (perfect for whale watching).</strong> By late March they are ready to make their way back north with their young children &#8211; well fed for the long journey north. (This trip only runs from January to late March)</p>

<h2><strong>Connecting with the Whales</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On this special journey, we will get close-up and personal with the Grey Whales, sending them energy and love. <strong>Just for a moment, imagine touching and connecting to one of these majestic mammals &#8211; running your hand over her bumpy back, looking deeply into her eye as she rolls over in the waters. There is something amazingly magical and transformational that happens when you look into the eyes of one of these creatures.</strong> There&#8217;s no description for the feeling of meeting a Grey Whale and her babies up-close &#8211; witnessing this beauty is a special experience. <strong>Do take a moment to watch the video on the right!</strong> &#8211;&gt;</p>
<h2><strong>Magdalena Bay Habitat </strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>We&#8217;ll be staying on Magdalena Bay in comfortable walk-in tents along the beach, with special showers, and yummy Mexican food. </strong>Magdalena Bay is ranked by the World Wildlife Fund as one of the nine most important coastal habitats in all of Mexico. Each evening our local guide will chat about the whales and wildlife of the area giving us a deeper appreciation of this delicate ecologic balance. <strong>Water activities feature whale watching from skiffs and paddling kayaks through tangled mangrove estuaries rich with wildlife.</strong> On land, you&#8217;ll have fun walking on – or tumbling down – towering sand dunes, along miles of unspoiled beaches.</p>
