The Start of a New Journey

We made our way down the mountain, leaving behind our beautiful home of 4-nights in Darjeeling and the town that all of us now love. Over three-hours later we arrived in the little town of Bagdogra and boarded our flight to Kolkata to spend the final night of our Odyssey.

Our Himalayan spiritual adventure has come to a conclusion. A lovely dinner and time of sharing was planned to celebrate our final evening together. Each participant was greeted and presented with a beautiful jasmine garland. We also celebrated Mandi's birthday. Each of us took a few minutes to share our thoughts on the last 15-days and apprecaiate one another's presence on the journey.

We thank all of you for following our blog - for following our spiritual adventure virtually and for your comments and countless emails. We loved having your support and inspired thoughts. We'll continue to update the blog with videos from the trip in the next few weeks. So, stay tuned!
