Kerala Journal

DAY 1

I have arrived. 🌝

Under a full moon, at 2:45 a.m. on February 1, I landed in Kozhikode, India, where I’ll be for the next two weeks. My last trip here was in 2018, when I served as one of 60 delegates worldwide for the first AYUSH, sponsored Yoga Ambassador Tour—a true highlight of my life. I feel incredibly grateful and happy to be returning, even though I’m sad to miss an incredible (and rare) snow event in the southeast.

This time, I’m here as a yoga representative for the first Ayurvedic & Wellness Conclave. I’ll be in India until February 13, immersing myself in the ancient practice of Ayurveda, (yoga’s sister science) and then spending ten days on familiarization tours at hospitals, resorts, and spas throughout Kerala. My hope is to bring this knowledge back to little ole Camden, South Carolina, and eventually to bring others back here—people interested in yoga and Ayurveda as paths toward health, balance, and well-being.

So far, my first day has been fairly uneventful, in the best possible way. I left home Friday afternoon and arrived very early Sunday morning, so today has been more about landing than doing.

I had ambitious plans to Uber to the beach and promenade, but after a couple of dusty miles walking to an ATM in 90° heat, I realized my nervous system needed more time to reset. So I shifted gears. I practiced my daily kriya- the Kundalini Yoga Stress Set for the adrenals and kidneys, drank a big glass of electrolytes, and settled in. Right now, I’m resting in my room, eating cheese nips (though I just ordered Kitchari and a salt lime soda for room, service), sipping tea, and reading. An early bedtime tonight feels like the wisest way to let my body and spirit adjust to India time.

Only a few photos to share for now, but many more to come. I love this darling myna bird who serenaded me through the hotel room window. (I'm on the 6th floor.)

I’ll be writing a short daily journal highlighting moments from this journey, and if you’d like to follow along, you’re warmly invited to join my Substack, The Wild Refined: https://substack.com/?r=lz8kz&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=profile

I truly believe that when we make an effort to live well, the universe meets us with opportunities—to learn, to grow, and to remember our shared humanity. I feel deeply humbled and grateful to be here, and I hope you’ll join me for the journey ahead!❤️

If you would like to experience a true sound journey in a beautiful, healing space we have a few spots left for Tuesday, March 3 from 6 to 8 PM when we welcome Settle into Stillness back for their winter tour.

Bio:
The Settle Into Stillness Ensemble is a sanctuary of sound and human connection, where music becomes a meeting place for presence, reflection, and transformation. Settle Into Stillness was founded in 2011, igniting a passion that would ultimately blossom into a transformative journey around the world…

Their sound is inspired by a relentless pursuit of something greater than themselves, a journey built upon connecting with humans around the globe, on 6 continents, through the universal language of music. In their Sound Journeys, Settle Into Stillness weaves together the sounds of handpan, didgeridoo, gongs, flutes, drones, singing bowls, world percussion, strings, and more to create spacious soundscapes for reflection and connection.

Today, the Settle Into Stillness Ensemble is known for creating one of the most refined, immersive, and transformative Sound Journey experiences in the world. Their work is the result of slow, organic growth: thousands of hours of practice, listening, deep study, performance, travel, and a devotion to honing their craft.

Their work has been streamed by millions, and has touched thousands of people across the world through their events and retreats, offering a space of rest, clarity, and inner connection. What emerges is not “sound healing,” but rather a space where each listener can cultivate their own inner awareness and their own inner guide.

This is the Sound Journey you’ve been searching for.

This is Settle Into Stillness.

Some days, I am in awe of how magical life can be! In 10 days, I’m heading back to Kerala, India! 🥰 🌿✨

I’ve been invited to attend the First International Ayurveda & Wellness Conclave, followed by an immersive Ayurveda & Yoga Ambassadors Tour across Kerala — the birthplace of classical Ayurveda.

This journey includes learning from leading Ayurvedic physicians and yoga scholars, visiting hospitals and wellness retreats, and experiencing the living cultural traditions that shape holistic healing in India. It feels deeply aligned with my work, my values, and my love for authentic, earth-rooted wisdom.

I plan to use this experience to build return Yoga and Ayurveda retreats beginning in 2027, so please reach out if you want to join us. I’m so grateful for this opportunity to learn, connect, and bring these teachings home. More to come. 💙🕊️

Pinch me!

Just landed back in the US after 12 unforgettable days in Vietnam and Cambodia with . 🌏 Two countries filled with spirit, color, and kindness — and lessons that will stay with me: forgiveness, presence, and the beauty of looking forward, not back. Stay tuned for photos if you’d like to travel vicariously. 💛
