What set this trip apart from other travel I’ve done was the people — both the relations within the group and the people you knew, your friends who accepted us into their homes, workshops, schools, etc. to share a bit of their life or passion. We didn’t just visit places in India; we met Indians (and Tibetans) personally. ~ Thérèse Racine from Montreal, Canada
Devon Chapman’s colorful paintings pictured here were inspired by her experience of life on the river Ganges during our visit to Varanasi.
“The group was so well balanced. You did a good job of attracting the perfect mix of travelers, Leslie. And you did a great job of preparing us. Also your wonderful contacts made our experience personal and up close. So many times when I travel, I feel like I’m skimming the surface. This trip was total immersion. For that I am so grateful.”

Barbara Edie of Winnipeg, Canada called this journey in India “a once-in-a-lifetime trip with some truly magical days and experiences - that only God (or Buddha or Ganesh?) could have coordinated… with Leslie’s help and connections, of course. I would recommend this trip to anyone interested in personal and/or spiritual growth - and getting some new perspective on life in other countries! Be prepared to be Amazed!”
