4. THE WHITE TARA
THE MOTHER OF LIBERATION
White Tara (Sanskrit, "star") symbolises the
Buddhist savior-goddess especially popular in
Tibet, Nepal and Mongolia. In Tibet, where
Tara is the most important deity, her name is
Sgrol-ma, meaning "she who saves."
The mantra of Tara (om tare tuttare ture
svaha) is the second most common mantra
heard in the region, after the mantra of
Chenrezi (om mani padme hum) which is
craved in ancient rocks known as mani stones of
the region.
The goddess of universal compassion; Tara
represents virtuous and enlightened action. It is
said that her compassion for living beings is
stronger than a mother's love for her children.
She also brings about life longevity, protects
earthly travel, and guards her followers on their
spiritual journey to enlightenment.

6. JODI BOONE
HATHA YOGA & MEDITATION
Jodi feels that yoga is a precious gift and one of the greatest influences in her life.
Initially drawn to yoga for the physical benefits of becoming stronger and more
flexible, she soon realized there was something even more profound than the effect it
was having on her body. Yoga deeply touched her heart, spirit and mind.
Practicing yoga for many years led Jodi to seek teachers and teachings in many places,
close to home in Seattle, as well as in many parts of the world. Yoga became her
passion, in addition to the work she was doing with different nonprofit organizations
as a grant writer.
With a background in Iyengar, Vinyasa and Ananda yoga, a devotional style of yoga
based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, Jodi draws from these traditions to
create a fluid and meditative practice. She teaches to inspire others to experience yoga
within all aspects of ourselves, creating a sense of wholeness among our hearts, bodies,
minds, spirits and hearts. This sense of wholeness or oneness also dissolves our sense of
separation from others. She encourages students to go inward; nourishing themselves,
deepening their intuition and honoring the divine within.
7. JESSICA BROOKES
RESTORATIVE YOGA & TIBETAN SINGING BOWLS
Jessica is the founder of The Shanti Space. Her inspirations over the last 4 years have
taken her all over the globe working as a yoga & sound therapist, volunteering as a
children’s English teacher and for the love of it a photographer and film maker.
After years in the corporate world, she went in search of inspiration while fulfilling
lifelong dreams to travel. She realised that an over-active mind, lazy body and poor diet
was affecting her relationships with people around her, the way she perceived the world
and especially her relationship with herself.
Since a young age she has had the privilege of learning from inspiring teachers with a
steady practice of meditation, yoga and contemplative practices.
Jessica believes that yoga goes beyond asana on a mat to a way of living a free, full and
more enjoyable life. Through restorative yoga and Tibetan Singing bowl sound baths
she gently guides her clients in to spaces of stillness, integration and renewal.
She encourages others to have faith in themselves, to explore and love oneself
unconditionally while uniting with one's creative calling to live a life exceptionally with
a heart full of compassion.
8. ANG DANU
LOCAL GUIDE OF HIMALAYAS
Ang Danu will be our certified English speaking guide during the trip. As one of
the original students of Sir Edmund Hillary’s first school in the region, Ang Danu
has a deep knowledge of the area and speaks very good English. He will share the
ancient tales of the mountains and ensure all our guests feel comfortable and
supported as we make our way through the Himalayas.
Ang Danu’s family run a small tea house in Khumjung which we are invited to
visit and see how his wife cooks traditional local food; Dhal Bhat. Ang Danu will

AN ANCIENT CITY OF THE GODS
Kathmandu is a busy Asian city and can take one by surprise when coming
from overseas. Cows loiter on the roads, the streets are noisy with the sound of
horns while others are bustling with Nepali craft shops and trekking stores.
Mornings are the quietest time of the day when the city awakens to pujas and
bells.
Durbar Square a plaza around a royal palace. Towering over the square, you
will see the Taleju Temple. This three-roofed temple was built in a typical
Newari architectural style and is elevated on platforms that form a pyramid-like
structure. Puja’s can also be made. (video)
Boudhanath stupa a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the largest stupa in
Nepal and the holiest Tibetan Buddhist temple outside Tibet. It is the center of
Tibetan culture in Kathmandu and rich in Buddhist symbolism. The stupa is
located in the town of Boudha, on the eastern outskirts of Kathmandu.
Bhaktapur: An Ancient Newar Town (out of the city)

half of the 15th century. Also known as Khwopa or Bhadgaon, it was part of
the ancient trade route to Tibet, and has been beautifully preserved.
