Registration Link
Join experienced guides to the historical sites of the Buddha Shakyamuni. Dharma teachers Shantum Seth and Brian Kimmel offer this once-in-a-lifetime journey. Meditate and learn as we walk the sacred Earth of the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, teaching, and death. You might think of this as an extraordinary experience. Though to the Buddha, this was everyday life. All beings, just like he experienced the pain of birth, oldage, sickness, death, and the pain of separation from those we care about. In our time together we can be just as ordinary as the Buddha was. For those interested in history, mindfulness, and everyday experiences through beginner’s mind. This journey has it all. Unlike many of the tours, our journey will be in a smaller group. Space is limited. For information, do Contact Us.

We will provide additional opportunities to practice leading up to the journey and afterwards to integrate the knowledge and experiences we have had together. This time is especially grounding because it will be in commemoration of Thich Nhat Hanh’s 100th birthday. Though he transitioned in 2022, we commemorate his life in order to continue the practices and offerings he made throughout his life. For those who are seeking another way from the tumult of our era, this journey is a unique and befitting response. A way to connect with the historical sites of the Buddha. As recommended by the Buddha in the last moments of his earthly journey.
We understand that a journey such as this is a significant investment of time, money and other resources. Please do reach out with any questions or concerns.
