Sacred Journey

2017, Tibet

Three week retreat in Tibet to offer prayers and study sacred spaces, places, and rituals through full immersion. The journey began with a week of acclimation in Xining, China before taking a train to Lhasa. We then drove across the country starting from Lhasa to Shigatse and continued on to Everest Base Camp, Saga, and Darchen. Prayer offerings and rituals were primarily done in Lhasa, Everest Base Camp and Mount Kailash (a holy mountain for Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and Tibetan Bonpo). This journey was done with two of my private students. Photos were taken during transit and in between prayer offerings, rituals, and training. This trip was truly and literally breathtaking as we experienced stunning landscapes, ancient traditions, and sacred practices at high altitudes (average altitude was approx. 14,000 ft). By the end of the journey we all gained a deeper appreciation for our training, practices, and life. Peace and well-being to all.
