"One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things", - Henry Miller

In 2014, Soma Journeys will launch its Sun and Moon travel program during the Spring/Summer (aka Sun) and Fall/Winter (aka Moon) period. Two highly customized travel itineraries that includes visits to sacred sites, encounters with ancient wisdom holders and the space to absorb the moods, sights and sounds, Sun and Moon itineraries are once in-a lifetime experiences. The theme and destination for 2014 will be a mediation and yoga journey in Bhutan and a pilgrimage to Mount Kailash in Tibet. Sun and Moon itineraries are always one-off travel experiences offering travelers fresh new destinations each year.

"If you are looking for a journey to spectacular places that provide you with memorable experiences and key insights that inspire vivid spiritual awareness that can be applied to your entire 'journey of life'  - then this is your best option!" - Dan Reid, Author of The Tao of Health, Sex & Longevity

"I have a deep love for traveling to remote areas because I feel that they offer a way of life that is often hard to find in today's modern world. During these specialized trips, travelers will have an opportunity to experience the country as an insider, have engaging dialogues, stay in inspiring places and, possibly discover something new about themselves". - Cristy Elmendorp, Managing Director of Soma Journeys
