Day 1
Departure from the United States

Day 2
Reach New Delhi (late night or early morning of day 3). We will arrange for comfortable transportation to pick you up at the airport, depending on your flight itinerary. You will be driven to a hotel in New Delhi for a much needed good night's sleep.

Day 3
In the morning, we may do some sightseeing around Delhi. Then, we will drive to Agra, located on the banks of the Yamuna River, and home to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World – the Taj Mahal. The splendor of Agra, on the west bank of the River Yamuna, remains undiminished to this day. We will be staying at the Taj View Hotel, a lovely hotel situated within three kilometers of the Taj Mahal, the world-renowned monument to love.

Day 4
In the morning, we will visit the Taj Mahal, and then head back to New Delhi in the evening. We will take an overnight train to Haridwar. We will book first class train tickets, so each person will have their own booth to lie down and have a good night's rest.

Day 5
After arriving in Haridwar by train, we will drive to Rishikesh, about 25 km. Rishikesh, literally: "Hair (kesh) of the sage" (rishi), is a holy city located in the foothills of the Himalayas in northern India. Located on the Sacred Ganges River, it is known as the Gateway to the majestic Himalayan Mountains and is one of the great spiritual centers of India. It is claimed to be the birthplace of yoga, and the various ashrams and temples assist the human spirit in its endeavor to be one with the Ultimate Source of all creation. We will be staying at a quiet and peaceful getaway just north of Rishikesh to begin our yoga, healing, and meditation section of the trip. Based on availability, we will be staying at either Glasshouse on the Ganges or the Himalayan Hideaway. Both are nestled in the lush forests of the ranges and will provide the ideal location for quiet and expansion during the courses on spirituality and healing.

Day 8
"Aarti is said to have descended from the Vedic concept of fire rituals, or homa. The word may also refer to the traditional Hindu devotional song that is sung during the ritual. Aarti is performed and sung to develop the highest love for God. "Aa" means "towards", and "rati" means "the highest love for God" in Sanskrit".

After yoga in the morning, we will complete the healing course by lunch. In the evening, we will take a trip into the main city of Rishikesh for shopping and to witness the Aarti. The Aarti is a nightly spiritual ceremony done on the banks of the Ganges river to pay respect to the goddess of the river, Ganga.

This beautiful ceremony is filled with devotional chants, rituals, and a felt sense of the Divine. It can be a very moving experience to witness it.

Day 9
This day will be a rest / break day. After our morning yoga, we will offer an optional hike to Vashisht Gufa, a cave said to be used by a great sage Vashishta (the spiritual teacher of Lord Rama, one of the incarnations of the God Vishnu in Indian culture). In the afternoon, we will drive deep into the Himalayan Mountains to the next location of our trip. We will be staying at The Terraces – a gorgeous boutique resort in the midst of the ranges at 8,500 feet.

Day 10
We will begin the day with yoga and meditation. Being among the great Himalayas, we will spend the day doing a trek in the mountains for those who are interested. It is a day of peace and quiet and a chance for the soul to expand and connect with nature and Mother Earth.

Day 11 – 12
"Achieving Oneness with the Higher Soul" – Meditations for Soul Realization.

During this course, ancient meditations, kept secret for centuries, will be revealed and taught. These techniques allow you to accelerate the Union of your incarnated soul (often described as the personality or lower self) with your Higher Soul (Higher Self). This phenomenon is known as "Soul-Realization", "Enlightenment" or "Self-Realization".

The Higher Soul is a seed of God's Divinity within all of us. Through the Higher Soul, we are made in the Image of God.

Being One with our Higher Soul, we become One with the "I AM", the Christ, the Buddha, The Shiva, the Krishna Nature within all of us.

7:00 – 8:30 a.m.	Yoga Session
