How I Spent a Month Exploring the Beautiful Land of India.

“India, India, take me to your heart, reveal your ancient mysteries to me…”

I was fortunate to spend the month of January soaking in all that India has to offer: ancient wisdom, beautiful rituals, delicious food, heart-centered people, and a vibrant culture.

The month began with my teacher, Thom Knoles, and 60 of my colleagues from around the world. It was such a joy spending time together, sharing laughs, and refreshing on our Vedic meditation teaching. We steeped ourselves in knowledge and celebrated the Vedic tradition from which our teachings originate.

Next, my husband and I traveled to Dharamshala, the home of the Dalai Lama. With breathtaking views, rich Tibetan culture, calming cafes on every corner, and prayer flags blowing in the wind, we found “Shanti”—peace—in this sacred town. 

We then ventured back to Rishikesh for Thom Knoles’ India retreat. We gathered with meditators from all over the world for a full immersion into Vedic culture and tradition. Together we meditated, went on excursions, shared meals, and absorbed wisdom from our teacher. It was an incredibly enriching experience. 

My heart feels so full from a wonderful month in India. I look forward to integrating all that I learned during this “Yatra” (pilgrimage) and infusing the wisdom into my Vedic meditation teaching. 

If you’re feeling inspired to learn a simple, mental technique, that provides deep rest, releases stress, and increases happiness, my next course is February 20th-23rd. Reach out for more details or to join one of my upcoming monthly courses. 🙏🏼♥️💫
