Ayurvedic Experience & Tour

Here is my latest blog for anyone who is intersted in how this unique holiday can pe*****te deeply and reshape us.

It wasn’t a single moment. It wasn’t the Ayurvedic treatments, though they opened something in me. It wasn’t the scenery – though the green of Kerala, the smell of monsoon air, the curve of the…

A fascinating, entertaining, intelligent and kind bunch of individuals are being gathered for our trip. Internal and external experienced travellers, They are all open to learning, trying, experiencing, feeling, connecting, touching life. We include regular integration circles to make sense of India’s myriad experiences and bring our little group into its own togetherness. This certainly makes all the difference to this trip.
The 5k figure you’ll pay has been carefully considered and is a realistic figure. India and specifically Kerala, is sadly no longer the cheap hippy place it used to be.
The accommodation will be comfortable and is reflected in this fee. This is an all inclusive, plane fare and transfers included in the price. The Ayurvedic experience and tour of South India is designed to immerse us as much as possible into this part of the world, whilst being safe and comfortable.
It is experiential in many ways and not the standard holiday to India, it will be memorable, moving and for some, life changing.

Here is the plan: five nights in Kovalam, 9 night tour which involves, 3 nights Cochin, 3 nights, backwaters (with one night in a houseboat and two nights in lakeside hotel. 3 nights in Munnar (western ghats) and one week in Ayurvedic retreat.
There will be well-being and spiritual exploration throughout.

Look forward to your early thoughts. And commitment if possible so we can book flights and make hotel reservations.

Oooooo exciting exciting news: Date for the diary for three weeks women’s spiritual explorer trip to India. 14th Feb - 7th March 2026. This very special, once in a lifetime, deep and nourishing soulful journey is starting to manifest. Let us know if you’d like to be involved. We guess you’d need to budget £5000 (a guesstimate) but we’ve got 18 months to save up!

Ideas so far to wet your appetite: visit Osho Himalaya and take part in a 7 day programme there (went last year and it was woweee), Buddhist temple and maybe Dalai lama ashram, 3 day Sufi Festival in Jodphur, Mount Abbu Brahma Kumaris meditation centre and various other spiritually nourishing events. We will inc an overnight train journey maybe a couple of small internal flights and or train and soooooo many more wonderfully and beautiful experiences to share with an awesome group of women.
