Power Journeys
Â
Teotihuacán Mexico, India, Thailand, Hawaii, Peru... These are more than a list of exotic locations. To embark on a power journey to such places is to take a leap into the core of essential beingness – into the unknown, into LOVE.
My intent for these journeys is for all of us to reclaim the power of love by seeing that all of our limiting stories of unworthiness and all of our defenses are illusions. Grace is here NOW! It is time for all of us to take responsibility for our own inner peace, and to relax into the truth of who we really are – at all cost!!
We have all projected love out onto loved ones and at some point found them to be unreliable, and have therefore concluded that love was not trust worthy. And, for the most part, since love has been identified as being connected with another person, this supports our distrust around it. However, love is not a person - it is truth, beauty, clarity, peace and purity.
To know ourselves, to surrender to the truth of ourselves, is to surrender to love. We are love! The degree to which we hold back from surrendering everything to it is the degree to which we suffer. Ask yourself, what would happen if I totally surrender to love? Join us on a power journey and find out for yourself!
Namaste,
Keshav

The "dream" of Peru is very different than the dream of the US and that made me look really hard at the fact that there is not only one way to dream, there are many ways, none ”better" or "worse". Of course, I "knew" that but to really experience it in a deeper way that is more of what the teachings are about. Experiencing what is there, without thought or interpretation, without imposing our belief system on what is there, what is happening, allowing it to unfold and be just what it is, in the moment. That's what Keshav constantly invites us to do, gently asking us to drop all the stories, the filters, the interpretations and just experience the energy for the unqualified, ineffable experience that it truly is. We are a part of all that, we are all that. It is only the stories we tell ourselves, those we have been told or those we are immersed in by virtue of living in a particular place and time that create the illusion of separation from whence comes our pain. We all have our stories and as we share them, we realize, it is all the same story. There are slight variations or twists but it boils down to the same story of separation and the subsequent pain and it simply is not true. Can I say it has dissolved completely? No. I suspect for some, the illusion can drop away all at once. Although the illusion may not burn away completely, instantly, every realization, every direct experience helps dissolve and dispel the lies and we see a little clearer. Thank you Keshav and all my fellow explorers. Thank you for sharing your stories, your examples, the beauty of who you are behind all that "stuff" which allows me to see that in myself, as well! En lakesha, Mitakuye Oyasin

Power journeys have been a way for me to push myself to a point where the persona breaks down and whatever I have stuffed comes to the surface demanding to be dealt with. Such was the trip to Peru. It was an intensive 12-day trip which I found physically and emotionally demanding. I was consumed by the experience. Each part of the journey-- shamanic ceremonies and purification rituals, visits to energy vortexes and walking in the ruins—broke me down a little bit more. It is always wonderful being with others who share the work of discovering who they really are. Magnificent views, the beautiful and haunting melodies of the flute, and the wonderful Peruvians with whom we were able to interact are just a few of my fond memories. Last, but not least, our fearless leader, Keshav, a remarkable and much-loved teacher, assisted me in abandoning my stories for the Truth of who I really am.

I found Peru to be a magical place on this earth that combines both the immensity of nature and openheartedness of people along with the intensity of its mystical history and energetic vortexes. Those attributes in combination with the graceful style and mindful teachings of Keshav Howe helped me to see exactly what I needed to do and that I, indeed, could do it...release any and all mind concepts and fear that kept me separate from what is around me, from what is me. Peru opened its arms and I walked in and fell in love with myself again.

Power Journey to Thailand in 2006. This trip was transformational for me. I had gone to Thailand in 2005, and it was an exciting trip filled with wondrous ancient sites, an environment so different from the US as to be disorienting at times, comfortable and unique lodgings, fantastic traditional food and compassionate, beautiful people. It was hard to imagine how it could be any better, but I went again this year because of where I was in my own work and the memory of the state of spirit and mind elicited while exploring a Buddhist nation.

Keshav and Alan had planned an incredible trip full of unique experiences and many opportunities to stretch emotionally and spiritually. It is difficult to find adequate words for the sense of safety created by these two facilitators who are so dedicated to providing a supportive yet challenging environment in which to explore oneself. We visited temples. And rode elephants! And visited temples. And hiked deep into caves and high into villages. And rafted lazily through beautiful country after a Mitote on the banks of a raging river. I’d go again in a heartbeat.
