OVERVIEW

Join MVP CEO, Michelle Young, and Kaytee Hernandez August 1st – 31st for a month long pilgrimage through South India. Together, you will travel south through Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. This spiritual pilgrimage will be the cultural experience of a lifetime. MVP Community member and dear friend to Michelle, Sivakami, is curating the trip to include cultural performances, temple visits, textile tours, and so much more. We’ll be traveling south for a month, moving through three different states, and immersing ourselves in the culture while we connect to our sadhana in a new and powerful way.

Participants’ room and board, two meals daily, transportation to and from excursions, and excursion fees are included in the price of the retreat. Supplemental meals, snacks, souvenirs, and airfare are not included in the price of the retreat.

Transportation

Transportation will be provided from the airport to your accommodation and from your accommodation back to the airport at the end of the retreat. Airfare is not included in the price of the retreat.

Location/Lodging

We will be traveling south through three Indian states, and therefore will stay in many different accommodations. As we get closer to the retreat we will share specific accommodations with the group and if there are options for upgrades we will inform the group.

Meals

We will do our best to accommodate meal preferences and allergies, but we will be traveling through India and we cannot guarantee that we can accommodate life-threatening allergies. We will also be eating vegan food primarily. If you need to supplement your diet with protein please plan accordingly.
