Gain professional development through experience
Louise conducts mindful adventures, guiding therapy professionals on trips of discovery into the grace and beauty of the Himalaya. You will experience mindfulness and professional development unlike any other. You will enjoy the meditation and understand the cultural context of mindfulness.
“A life changer” is the most common response from participants.
All proceeds help to educate kids in remote Nepal through our not-for-profit venture, The Pearl Lotus Fund.
Who are mindful adventures for?
This is NOT a tourist trip. It is PD for helping professionals including psychologists, social workers, teachers, coaches who are interested in deepening their practices and understanding.
You can claim CPD. The number of hours will be your personal decision.
Mindful adventures: Everest – “Ama”, the Mother Mountain
The journey
- Will allow you to experience a mindful adventure as we walk each day in the Himalayan mountains. Your task is to put one foot in front of the other under the shadow of the highest peaks and in doing so you will experience challenge and psychological practice.
- You will participate in professional development that includes group discussions, meditation centres, and mindfulness practice.
- We show you the tallest mountains in the world up close, including Ama (the Mother Mountain) – Mt Everest.
- We show you UNESCO heritage sites in Kathmandu, including staying in Boudha, near the UNESCO Boudhanath Stupa – the greatest stupa in the world where Buddhism comes alive each day.
- You stay in TiSe Guest House in Kathmandu and experience our rooftop gatherings overlooking Kathmandu.
