Here’s the skinny:
Black Bee LLC and Phyzz Yoga Present…Purusha: An Uncommon Voyage to India
In Sanskrit, Purusha literally means “dweller in the city, ” referring to the spiritual Self that resides in the “city” of the body; the eternal, omnipresent, indestructible, unchanging entity that is the essence of everything in the universe. Join us as we explore the rich, wonderful, chaotic, historical, and spiritual “bodies”of India with heightened senses and open hearts.
Our guide is Patricia Hammerle, fluent in Hindi, veteran traveler and lover of India. Patti has done graduate work in both Hindi and Sanskrit at the University of Washington, and currently teaches both privately and at the Seattle Language Academy.
We will see the country by plane, train, and automobile – traveling as locals do. Simple and deluxe accommodations.
