Journeys Newsletter – May/June 2005
Sacred Journeys
In our last
Newsletter we told you about our tour to Mexico, Sept 27-Oct 6, with reknowned
spiritual healer and author, Richard Jelusich, Ph.D. We have
now finalized the itinerary, and are very pleased to announce that Miguel
Angel Vergara, Master Maya Teacher, will be joining us in
Chichen Itza and Uxmal, for an in-depth look at the
ancient Maya world of the Yucatan. We'll also visit Tulum,
Coba, Kabah, Dzibilchaltun
and Ek Balam, as well as participate in ancient Maya
rituals & ceremonies with local shamans, including one in the
caves at Loltun. As the tour is now in the Yucatan
only, the airfare is now a simple into/out-of Cancun.
Since the publication of the Da Vinci Code the
debate rages as to what and where the true Holy Grail exists. Our friend and
partner, Mark Amaru Pinkham will be leading a pilgrimage to England &
Scotland, July 12-27, to experience and explore the secrets of the Holy
Grail, the mystical Cathars, Mary Magdalene, the Black Madonna
and the enigmatic Knights Templar. There is very limited space left
on the Land of the Pharaohs tour to Egypt,
Nov 8-20, so please let us know as soon as possible if you are
interested. We have just announced an October
date for Mystical Sedona, and a January, 2006 date for
In The Footsteps of the Masters in India, so check those out below as
well.

retreat, we invite women to take advantage of a rare opportunity to join

Yoga Tours & Retreats
In our last
Newsletter, we told you about our Yoga & Spirituality Tour of North India,
Oct 19-Nov 4. Now, we have just posted our Yoga &
Spirituality Tour of South India, Nov 4-20, and you can choose to take
either the North or the South tour, or both!
Highlights of the South India tour include Kanchipuram, one of
Hinduism's seven most sacred cities, and Mahabalipuram, where the tsunami
that struck South Asia on December 26, 2004, partially unearthed a legendary
1300-year old Hindu temple on the shore of the Bay of Bengal. We'll also have a
7 day yoga retreat, cruise on the backwaters of Kerala,
and much, much more!
In our next
Newsletter watch for the launch of our Ayurveda Tours and Programs in
India!
Please read on
for the highlights, and check our website
www.sacredearthjourneys.ca for details on all of our programs.
Namaste,
