Transformation Is Not Meant to Be Walked Alone
When I think about the journeys that have changed my life most profoundly, they all have one thing in common: I didn’t walk them alone.
This spring, I had the honor of facilitating sacred journeys across Uganda, Ireland, Scotland, and Italy—and each one reminded me of the deep, often indescribable power that unfolds when we open our hearts, say YES to the unknown, and witness each other’s transformation.
A Glimpse of Shared Humanity in Uganda
In Uganda, as we sat in stillness in the rainforest, a mountain gorilla met my gaze. For a long moment, nothing else existed but that exchange. Around me, I saw the faces of fellow sacred travelers—tears, awe, something ancient awakening. That one moment of shared humanity reverberated through us for days. It reminded us that we are not separate. That when we witness the sacred in another, we remember it in ourselves.
Revelations in the Temples of Humankind
In Italy, we descended into the Temples of Humankind in Damanhur—spaces hand carved in a mountain by devotion and guided by vision. We embodied the energy, frequencies, and unmatched creativity as best we could, supporting one another in this sacred intention. The last two days were dedicated to past life research. We were guided to connect to one past life—the past life holding the most insight into our present life and the messages that can serve us most right now. Some of us had spontaneous visions. Others felt waves of deep emotion or sudden clarity. What connected us all was the willingness to be open. To trust. To receive. Even now, we are still processing those downloads together and alone.

When We Travel with Intention, Something Sacred Happens
Moments like these do not come because we chase them. They appear when we travel with intention. Every step, breath, and encounter becomes an offering. Traveling with intention means moving through the world awake. It means listening deeply to what the land, the people, and the stillness between them teach us.
When we enter sacred spaces, whether a centuries-old temple, a mountaintop sanctuary, or a quiet forest clearing, we are not only visitors. We become participants in a living dialogue between the visible and the invisible. These places hold memory, energy, and devotion. When we gather as a community, something extraordinary unfolds. Our intentions begin to weave together. One moment of clarity becomes a blessing for all. One whispered prayer echoes in every heart.
This is the quiet miracle of sacred travel. By sharing these spaces with others, we amplify the light within us. The journey becomes more than personal growth. It becomes a shared awakening and a collective act of grace.
And the journey does not end when we return home. Connections and insights keep rippling outward. They invite us to share what we have received in ways that uplift others. That is why we’ve developed a simple way to continue the circle of giving.
A New Way to Share What Matters Most
I’m excited to share something close to my heart—a new way to honor this spirit of connection and extend the ripples outward to others seeking meaning.
