IF YOU BELIEVE THAT HAPPINESS – TO ACQUIRE

AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE THAN THIS ROAD – ROAD TO THE

MOON HOPING TO FIND THE SOURCE OF LIGHT

GATES TO HAPPINESS ONLY OPENS WHEN

WALKING A CONSCIOUS SEARCH

OF THE MEANING ROAD.

If walking the traditional road luck is met just as a

momentary and often rare phenomenon, slightly better

chances than meeting a fairy.

What is the Meaning

of my job?

Did you try GOOGLE?

What is the meaning of business or work?

Where does the suffering and

roots of discontent hides?

How to decode the symbols?

The search for the meaning, idea or to find a solution to the stuck

problem requires to pass certain rites of passage. These rites of passage can be found in many different tribes’ myths

like The Hero’s Journey.

Interesting that this path regularities in every myth are the same.

Searching for the meaning, solution or ideas are gates to the unknown. Once crossed you can find stuff that you

couldn’t imagine today.

Usually The Heaven Office is late by one year, but

during the trip the answer could appear in a few weeks.

This is a special trip, that is why to make the first step you have to have courage

and determination.

Our trip – a way to feel freedom and to be with yourself. To leave for

some time the mundane world and to explore the spiritual space, where the routine

leaves your horizon – with job routine,

family, friends, etc.

The trip – is not an intellectual game – but clear deliberate,

physical and spiritual crossover.

This is only possible to reach when combining all three

elements:

1. Body. Every morning we will start with yoga exercises, because Your body is the temple of Your Spirit.

2. Emotions. Every day will be special exercises allowing to understand oneself.

3. Spirituality. Meditation and communication (Meaning as a perpetual change at companies or life). During the trip we will meet and converse with monks and spiritual gurus. You will be able to ask beforehand prepared questions, share ideas or discuss the Meaning of life.

Mustang or Lo-manthang to Tibetan mythology is "plain land cultivable for herbal medicines», as it happens herbal medicine is still practiced in this region, here is a herbal school in Lomanthang. Herbal doctors are called 'Amchi'. Here You’ll be able to have a consultation with Amchi and to acquire unique medicine.

Between the 4th of November to 27th of November almost most of the field works in the villages are either finished or at the last stage therefore the monks are performing rituals in most villages and they do have enough time for interacting with people. We can not only see them perform rituals but and to understand their meanings - how to prepare yourself for Bardo stage (the first stage after death). The Meaning of Life and Death - two interrelated elements of tibetian teaching.

Overcoming high mountain passes

question..
