Body Mind Spirit Journeys

by Sheri Leigh

Offering four different styles of trips to meet your travel needs, Body Mind Spirit Journeys allows traveler to choose their spiritual quest. Sacred Journeys are pilgrimages to sacred sites for spiritual transformation and personal growth, Wellness Tours and Retreats are holidays that comfort the entire being, Women's Sacred Travel are journeys to sacred sites, resorts and spas that are designed for smaller groups of like-minded women and Vacations with a Reward are travel programs that combine traditional vacations with an opportunity to "give back" by participating in SOFTLY International's "A Bed for Every Child" program.

Sites and shrines throughout Europe of interest to Templar enthusiasts are well covered from following "The Trail in the Da Vinci Code, to the "Mystical Holy Grail and Knights Templar Pilgrimage" and "A Mystical Templar Pilgrimage". All trips led by noted authors and researchers in the field. These tours are sure to appeal to anyone who has a curiosity for mysteries.

Sacred Travel programs includes trips in the "Footsteps of the Masters in India", "Inca Mysteries & Magic in Peru", and especially for women, "Land of the Pharaohs, Sacred Temples, and Ancient Illumination" and "A Spiritual & Wellness Journey through Cambodia and Vietnam."

Vacations with a Reward focus on the Honduras, Costa Rica and Peru where SOFTLY International has service projects. The trips allow the traveler not only to experience the destinations special sites but to give back to the local community through volunteer service. What better way to get to know local families, than by taking a day out to make a lasting difference in their everyday lives.

If the motto of Ecotourism is to "Leave no footprint" by ensuring no trace is left of human invasion on nature, Spiritual travel's mantra should be to "Change the world" by leaving a positive impression on those we encounter. Remember, giving is the greatest gift we can receive.
