GREECE
This beautiful country is considered to be the cradle of Western Civilization, because of being the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, Western literature, historiography, political science, major scientific and mathematical principles, major forms of theatre, and the Olympic Games.
The Cyclades
A group of Greek islands in the Aegean sea, southeast of the mainland. They have been inhabited for over 5000 years and are considered to be some of the most beautiful places in the world.
"The sea was sapphire-colored, and the sky burned like a heated opal through the air. We hoisted sail, the wind was blowing fair. For the blue lands to the eastward lie.”
~ Oscar Wilde, Irish poet and playwright
“The feeling of being lost in time and geography with months and years hazily sparkling ahead in a prospect of un-conjecturable magic.”
~ Patrick Leigh Fermor, the famous English travel writer, on his time in Greece
“Greece was a muse. It inspired creativity in magical ways that I can’t even begin to understand or explain.”
~ John Bonamassa, American musician
ISLAND
Folegandros is part of the Cyclades and just an hour boat ride from the famous Santorini.
Folegandros is special, compared to many of the other Cycladic islands, in that it’s quite remote. Its population (under 800) lives in traditional Greek villages with the often pictured charming white and blue buildings and cobblestone streets. The island is known for its pristine hiking trails and beaches, as well as its un-paralleled, breathtaking views of the Aegean.
September 13th: We will meet up at Thira International Airport in Santorini (JTR), and immediately travel by boat to Folegandros.
There, we will stay right next to the beach, in an incredibly tranquil place, just outside of the tiny village of Karavostasis.
September 13th - 23rd: Each day, we will begin with yoga, kirtan, and wisdom, before segueing into activities like hiking, site-seeing, beach-going, boat rides, etc. In the evenings, we will come back together for reflections and more kirtan.
September 23rd: Closing program in the evening. Most of us will return to Thira International Airport by the very early morning of the 24th.

"This was truly a unique experience. It was time to reflect and really learn about yourself. It was an incredible bonding experience with a wonderful group of people. Of course I attribute so much of this to the amazing teachers who toured with us."
~ Ann G.
"The pilgrimage is on every yogi's to-do list. The challenges are immense but so worth the experience. Each day offered something new and unique that no other "travel agency" could hope to provide or compare. Each day offered a once in a lifetime experience..."

Born and raised in a family of bhakti yogis, Madhu adopted a serious interest and desire to immerse in ancient spiritual culture at an early age. He decided to become a monk on his eighteenth birthday and dedicate his life to sharing this knowledge with others. For five years he lived in various monasteries across the US and India, studying Vedic arts, sciences, and philosophy under world renowned teachers. After graduating from his monastic training and education, Madhu has built his own multi 6-figure business and serves as a conscious business and lifestyle coach. He has mentored and taught hundreds of clients and students over the past decade. He currently helps spiritual entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses while holistically optimizing their physical, mental, and spiritual health. Madhu facilitates trainings, retreats, and pilgrimages worldwide teaching ancient practices like Ayurveda, Bhakti, Kirtan, and much more to sincere seekers looking to transform their lives.
Born and raised in LA, Tukaram was brought up in an Orthodox Christian household (the tradition of 90% of Greece’s population), and is intimately familiar with, and knowledgeable about, the spiritual landscape of Greece. He’s also well-versed in the yoga tradition, having lived as a monastic for many years in India, where he received a traditional education in Vaisnava Hindu philosophy, ritual, and language. Tukaram currently serves as the Director of two Hindu temples (in Laguna Beach and Long Beach), and also runs a vegan restaurant, an organic farm / animal sanctuary, and an urban ashram.
Madhuri is a founding director of Yoga108 and an advanced registered yoga teacher (E-RYT 500), dancer, meditator, and writer. Inspired by yoga’s profound effects, Madhuri has spent the past 15 years sharing the practice wherever needed- studios, gyms, corporations, high schools, shelters, and also one-on-one. Over the years, she’s mentored many new yoga teachers through teacher trainings and apprenticeships. Molly received a degree in Dance Performance from the University of California, Irvine, where she studied the body and movement extensively, mentored by visionary choreographers Donald McKayle and Loretta Livingston.
