The What to Pack List

 

Each Journey invariably includes two itineraries. On the physical part of the journey, we each travel as a member of a group to places of extraordinary beauty, power and enchantment. On the inner journey, we travel solo down a long winding road often rife with potholes, detours and rivers to cross with no bridge in sight. The inner journey requires that we bring along all our love and courage to honestly deal with ourselves to separate truth from illusion.

 

The inner journey is potentially the hardest one we ever make. For the physical journey we just need a sense of humor, flexibility and a properly packed bag containing all the things a physical body could need!
