Finding the Buddha Within

The people are Tantric Buddhists who also have a Shamanistic background called Bon – and a fantastic history filled with legends and mythology. In fact, one of the highlights of our spiritual journey is hiking to Tiger’s Nest where Guru Rinpoche flew to on the back of a flaming tigress! Indeed, the monasteries are magical and beautiful in ways that I cannot begin to describe.

Everyone who visits is touched in the most astonishing ways, by the landscape, the heart of the people, and their philosophies. By the time we leave, the experience will have opened your heart in a manner that that is totally unexpected. Author and Aikido master Wendy Palmer invites you to join her on this magical and sacred pilgrimage. Through meditation, chanting, prayer and ceremony we will expand our consciousness and cultivate the compassion of Buddha within.

Compassion & Blessings

Thankfully we’ll have the opportunity to spend a day at Bhutan’s National Day celebration at Changlingmithang National Stadium. There will a special procession, mask dances, cultural programs and folk dances and songs. We’ll also spend time visiting the very rare and endangered Black Necked Cranes in Phobjikha. And as a special gift, a Lama will be preparing a prayer and blessing ceremony for us. As service is an important part of our spiritual experience, you are welcome to bring children’s books, blankets or anything you would like to donate to the Bhutanese people during our visit.

Deepening our Wisdom and Compassion for Action

This trip is designed in the context of spiritual practice and our intent will be to strengthen our connection to wisdom, energy and compassion. Anyone with a committed and regular practice is welcome to participate. We will practice a Conscious Embodiment approach to meditation that works with a balance between concentration and awareness. Like most embodiment practices this approach to mindfulness seeks to recognize thoughts as habit and choose the openness of wisdom and compassion.

The Conscious Embodiment centering and partner exercises will be part of our daily ritual. These exercises will be designed to enhance our experience of the environment to allow for a strong somatic imprint so that inspiration can be accessible and transferable long after our trip is over. Each person will be asked to have a skill and a quality to work with in order to discover a deeper place of commitment and inspiration during our journey. You will receive more information about this process when you sign up.

Giving of Ourselves

Although Kenya is one of the more stable countries in Africa, poverty and deprivation are rife across the land. HIV AIDS has resulted in over one million children being left as orphans with no visible means of support or care. Life expectancy rates have fallen and thousands of families struggle to survive on a day-to-day basis. With children suffering from the ravages of malnutrition, malaria, and HIV AIDS, the result is an ever-increasing child mortality rate.

For our community project, we’ll visit the Kids Alive Children’s Home (a Christian organization), and the Kamatongu Primary School a government supported school which is in dire need of a permanent source of drinking water. Proceeds from this journey will provide funds to the school to help them achieve some of their most dire goals. Our visit will be a powerful opportunity for us to open our hearts in service and experience unconditional love.

Mysterious & Ancient Temples

We’ll have the opportunity to explore the amazing temple complex at Angkor Wat – 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.

Unconditional Love in Action ♥

Service is often called unconditional love in action – 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 – our divine presence. Volunteer travel is a powerful experience – 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!

There is Good Here

Take a moment to enjoy the beautiful video (on the right –>) that David created from pictures of his previous journeys to Cambodia. He is singing a special song 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.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
