Northern Canada

Experience the wonders of the aurora borealis or the northern lights in the Canadian wilderness. The northern lights, scientifically referred to as the Aurora Borealis, are luminous energies, alive with shimmering colors that dance across the dark sky at night. Viewing the aurora borealis leaves you with a very spritual feeling and a sense of amazement. Thousands of people from accross the globe go to the Yukon, Nunavut or Northwest Territories to appreciate this breathtaking natural phenomena. Aurora Borealis can also be seen in Northern Europe and Alaska.

Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia is famous thanks to its long history of spiritual development and philosophical way of life. It is the birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and various other spiritual currents. However, anyone planning on taking a spiritual retreat in this area should be very careful as this type of travel has become extremely commercialized. Many temples and monasteries are taking advantage of tourists by charging extremely high prices for retreats that are anything but spiritual.

Egypt

Picture yourself in the land saturated with the ageless wisdom and mystery of the pharoes - Mother Egypt. Find serenity while cruising the waterway of antiquity - the legendary Nile River. Marvel at the wonders of King Tut's tomb, the profound silence of the Great Pyramid, the spectacular artistry of the Valley of the Kings, the majesty of the Temple at Luxor. Awaken to the mystical Temple of Philae and the sacred Sekhmeth Temple at Karnak. These are just a few of the many miracles you will experience in Egypt.

Machu Picchu, Peru

Take the 35-mile Inca Trail over a 5-day journey until you reach the fabled fortress of Machu Picchu. If you do not ask yourself questions while on this trip, then you're spiritually starved. Breathe in the sacred wisdom of the ages. Meditate in temples thousands of years old. Participate in life-changing ancient ceremonies and experience the magnificence of your own being. Picture yourself breathing the mystical air at the heights of the Andes Mountains. Your spirit will soar as you experience one of the most beautiful and sacred lands on earth. Walk in the footsteps of the ancient Inkas. The ancestors of the Andean people still live in this precious "Paradise in the Sun," where the heart of the masters still reigns.

India

Thanks to nearly 500 years of Western influence, Goa represents an entirely different landscape compared to the rest of India. For one, the population make-up is different, as is the general standard and way of living (these can be detected in both the styles of clothes as well as culinary habits). Furthermore, most visitors embrace Goa's quiet and peaceful atmosphere. What is perhaps its greatest trait is that for the most part, Hindus and Catholics coexist.

Mount Everest, Tibet & Nepal

There is no doubt that climbing one of the highest peaks in the world can be a wonderful and spiritually enlightening experience. Take the full plunge and head off to Tibet to find out what the monks have known all along. Spiritual traditions, temples and monasteries, lakes and rivers, and mighty snow clad peaks are just a few of the intoxicating wonders to be experienced by adventurous travelers who get the opportunity to visit this land of rich cultures.
