Experience the spirit of place while visiting some of the world's most inspiring sacred sites. Learn about the spiritual belief systems which led to the creation of painted caves, prehistoric megalithic sites, temples, shrines, and cathedrals. Be inspired at natural sites of outstanding beauty: sacred rivers, mountains, wells, and trees.

Enjoy the company of interesting traveling companions and expert guides, many of whom are indigenous people. Expand your knowledge of sacred sites through study guides, informal lectures and site talks.

Past trips have explored Remote Mayan Temples in the Yucatan, Balinese Temples and Temple Festivals, Sedona & Northern Arizona Native American Sites, Chumash Indian Rock Art Sites, Chaco Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, Petroglyph National Monument and Pueblo Indian Corn Dances.

Give something back! Your registration includes contributions to site and cultural preservation projects. Past donations include: Hotevilla Hopi school for the perpetuation of traditional culture; the Sandoval Pueblos and Friends of the Albuquerque Petroglyphs for the campaign to prevent highways through sacred fields of petroglyphs; Yucatec Mayan Indians to support their environmental preserve.
