Sacred Service in Nepal
Join us on our next sacred service journey to bring holistic healthcare and herbal medicine, education, and supplies into the heart of the earthquake’s aftermath. We will be trekking into the beautiful countryside of northern Nepal, spending time with the local shamanic communities, immersed in the delightful village life, and offering healing to (and being healed by!) everyone we cross paths with.
We will be an intimate group of up to 12 on this journey and will be heading into the district of Sindhupalchok, one of the hardest hit regions of Nepal in the 2015 earthquake.
96.8% of homes were completely destroyed in the district, nearly 4,000 people died, and 3,000 people are still missing. As of 2021, less than 3% of the building losses have been recovered and rebuilt.
Nepal Trip Highlights:
- Experience Nepal’s regal Himalayan range, home to some of the world’s tallest peaks
- Immersion in Shamanic-based community with opportunities to learn from the local medicine keepers
- Learn more about the rich ecosystems of Nepal, native plant medicine, and wildlife
- An opportunity to have a consultation with Bhutanese-Tibetan Doctor Amchi Sherab and have your pulses listened to the way nature-based doctors have been doing it for thousands of years
- Visit monasteries, museums, and World Heritage Sites
- Expand your reach by contributing to life-changing global healthcare and education
- An opportunity to visit with the world-renowned Aama Bombo, one of the Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers and first female shaman in her lineage, and to receive divination if you choose
- Learn about earthquakes including their environmental, political, and economic impact
- And so much more!
