My Southern India Exploration offered a women’s retreat from the day-to-day to explore a fascinating destination and one’s own inner truth. This was truly a transformative travel experience offering daily healing approaches to support harmony and balance. Southern India offers a lush, tropical surrounding to enliven your senses at every turn. My program featured diverse ways to learn more, including a chance to interact with local people, spiritual practices, wellness approaches, fresh food, fascinating history, indigenous crafts and so much more!
Southern India is where the Ayurvedic system of medicine was created. On our Exploration, we learned so much about this ancient art and science of balancing one’s dosha to stay well in body, mind and soul. We scheduled regular opportunities to receive Ayurvedic treatments; participated in local spiritual ceremonies; explored essential oils, herbs and spices during workshops; and so much more.
Our incredible local Tour Guide helped us interpret our experiences and the local language as we covered four distinct areas in the Kerala and Tamil Nadu regions of Southern India, allowing us to visit truly wonderous temples and ashrams where others have worshipped, meditated and prayed for thousands of years. This was a remarkable experience for all, and one I hope to repeat in the years ahead for others to explore with me. Take a look at the photos in this gallery to get a sense for our adventures. Then consider a future Essential Earth Exploration with me soon!
Travelers from my 2024 Southern India Exploration share their feedback
“I feel like the whole trip was organized extremely well, we had the best tour guides I’ve ever experienced and it was perfectly spread out to keep us busy throughout the day, while giving us times to relax and enjoy some self-care. I am one of those people that just takes it all in and enjoyed every moment of my time.I would say the highlights of the trip were going into the people’s home and spending time diving into their culture and way of life. I also felt that the women were so friendly and happy to speak with us. Plus, I loved all the bright colors that they wear.”
“The trip was amazing! We got to see and experience so much, and I’m very grateful for that. The people in India are so kind, gracious, colorful and happy, even though they have so little. Our guides were all amazing! Very knowledgeable and willing to do most of what we asked for. I loved the beauty of the Taj Mahal marble, and to get to see such a stunning structure all made of marble was definitely an ooh and ahh experience. Kochi felt very safe walking around by myself, beautiful Brunton Boatyard, kind people and wonderful shopping. Madurai was the India I envisioned. There was so much to see, the AMAZING temples, street vendors, antique shops, cows on the streets and crazy traffic. I could have spent a couple more days in Madurai!”
