Our Trips

Each Atma Adventure is a unique travel experience that is fun and active but also purposeful.  We choose special destinations surrounded by nature and incorporate activities that lift the spirit and balance the mind and body.  It is a time to activate a new perspective in order to move beyond repetitive patterns and toward living a life that is authentically you with less fear, judgment and stress.

Why We Travel

“We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate.” Pico Iyer

We travel looking to transform our lives, to experience something new and to feel more alive.  Travel that transforms requires a bit of courage as it asks us to step beyond our comfort zone.  It may be about trying new things, honoring other cultures and learning about other people without judgment.  In the end, it should give us an opportunity for reflection upon our human experience and how we may be able to live more fully, boldly and joyfully.

Why I Go on a retreat

“In an age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow. In an age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention. And in an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still.” Pico Iyer

Taken from a Latin word meaning “to pull back”, retreats are the most efficient catalysts for change.  When you give yourself time away from all daily distractions, you give yourself the space for introspection, shedding layers, and letting go of the stories and identifications.  We must give ourselves this space in order to realize our true nature beyond the every day roles we have as wife, mother, friend, sister and daughter.
