The Northern India Spiritual Exploration took us from the humming capitol and historically significant places within New Delhi, on by train to the amazing Taj Mahal. Continuing north toward Haridwar and Rishikesh, we explored the foothills of the Himalaya Mountains and the River Ganga. With opportunities to experience the deep reverence and spiritual significance of many locations in this part of India, we also learned about the social impact and needs in this complex country. Delicious food, family interactions, fascinating experiences and a chance to practice yoga in the location of its origins. Our 2023 program offered even more! Take a look at the photos below to see some images from our yoga and wellness classes in Ayurveda, essential oils, astrology and even a home-cooking class — all exclusively for our group. You’ll also see us in sarees to celebrate Diwali with a local family and connect with local service organizations empowering women and girls. Ready to join me in India in 2024 for a true journey of transformation? Take a look at the fabulous Southern India Exploration: A Women’s Healing Retreat for Body, Mind & Soul.

Travelers from my 2023 Northern India Spiritual Exploration share their feedback

“Marty was amazing! She organized a great trip to Northern India…a place I had never considered visiting. It was a great group of women that I now consider dear friends and will continue to connect with. Everything was perfectly planned and provided experiences I never would have imagined. Accommodations were great with very helpful staff. I liked that food was included in the cost of the trip. Tour guides were oustanding and travel connections were easy and on-time. Marty was always available to meet our needs and answer our questions. I am happy to recommend her and the Essential Earth Explorations Program if you are considering traveling with an organized, learning oriented group!”
