Post Plat India Experience
October 28 - November 1, 2024
ABOUT
India is hot, populated and messy. But it's also a place of deep spirituality dating back thousands of years offering us an opportunity for profound change and transformation in our lives.
​
I have curated an experience for you all based on giving you a three dimensional feeling of being in India. From walk about in a market place, to serving others, to visiting the Taj Mahal, to being invited to a personal residence, and experiencing shopping and the food, it is my hope that you will embrace each experience to fully realize the power of immersion for personal growth.
