Trips to let go are designed to explore
some of the most awe-inspiring places in India. Our Trips are a place to
make new friends and join other people to travel. People from all walks
of life sign up for our trips. On our trips we get together and create a
space to be our true selves –uninhibited and spontaneous. The primary
intention of “trips to let go” is unrestrained expression of our
feelings and creativity.
Our trips are much more than traveling to new places. These trips are an
endeavor to create a space to feel a sense of togetherness in a much
deeper and loving way then we usually do. There is so much fun possible
while being with each other if only we could feel safe enough to drop
our guards and be ourselves. In Trips to let go trips we try to hold
this space of unconditional love and acceptance for each other so that
we can let-out completely, express ourselves, break free, do crazy
things, move, shake, sing, stretch, dance, scream, laugh, cry and learn
to flow.
We are conditioned early in our lives to live in control and behave
ourselves all the time. This kills our spontaneity and makes us
extremely self conscious. We feel repressed and helplessly so, at times
we feel like really letting out, screaming, crying, expressing our
anger, laughing our guts out or being like a child doing funny things
however the thought of other’s reactions keeps us in control and we
continue to live in frustration and repression and eventually a life of
learned disconnection from our true being.
I have felt this repression and inhibition much deeply in my life
journey. I have felt that there is actually very little space in this
culture to let out and be spontaneous without the fear of being judged.
I know very well how it feels to judged by others along with the ever
present internal judge and jury in our heads. I have really longed to be
amidst friends where I could let-out and be myself. I know how
therapeutic and essential it is to express oneself.
These feelings have motivated me to organize tours where people can get
together and let themselves loose. I have planned to combine two things,
which give me the greatest joy i.e to organize trips and to be with
others.
Our trips contain a multitude of experiences. They include the thrill of
going down a hill on a mountain bike, the feelings of deep relaxation
and trance induced by endorphins after a strenuous hike, the bliss of a
relaxing massage, the experience of loosing oneself in dance at the end
of the day, fulfillment and togetherness experienced while participating
in group activities or pampering your taste buds with an exotic meal.
They are truly a lifetime experience and that’s what we are trying to
create. It’s a trailer to what is truly possible in our lives, enormous
joy and happiness awaits us if only we knew how. WE CAN HAVE SO MUCH FUN
TOGETHER !!
Our modern lives are becoming increasingly stressful and that is no
joke. Our lives are repressed, our relationships are impersonal, our
culture is controlling and life is so fast paced that we don’t even get
a chance to stop and think if we actually want to do what we are doing.
We are so deeply trapped in our conditioning and expectations of the
society that we forget that we are free and we do have a choice. We
continue to live with hurts, grief; anger and rage that keeps
accumulating layer by layer. We helplessly choose to wear masks and go
on with it until we start feeling nauseated. We use food, alcohol,
co-dependent relationships, sex, money, and power to seek happiness but
that only goes so far.
Trips to Let go include a lot of fun activities to express ourselves and
celebrate life to its fullest. Above all we learn to love ourselves and
other. We try to take steps however small they may be, towards dropping
our guards and being more spontaneous. We learn to restore spontaneity
in our lives and begin to accept ourselves and others just the way we
are, without any judgment. Just coming to our trips with this intent in
our heart can create a very healing and vibrant space.
Each trip is a mix of various activities each one aimed at expressing
ourselves and experiencing deep fulfillment.
There are activities to push us beyond our comfort zone such a strenuous
bike ride, team activities to accomplish a common goal, activities to
let go and release such as dance, music, active meditation’s, laughter
and other innovative exercises to this end, activities to nurture
ourselves such as a h ot water Epsom bath or a relaxing massage,
recreational activities such as sports and games, various meditations
and yoga to still the mind and experience deeper spiritual states and
activities to discover and understand oneself - this involves ideas
using from modern psychology and exercises such as Writing, dreaming,
introspection, sharing, role playing and readings……and last but not the
least we have celebrations and feasts.
These trips could well be for a lot of people a new beginning on the
path of self discovery and a place to find more love and expression for
those already following their own paths.
On trips to let go we take full responsibility for ourselves and keep
mutual respect and safety of others in mind. So we do our own things
while giving gentle attention to each other. We thus create a safe and
loving space for exploring our own selves. Such a space of gentle
attention, non-judgment, love and togetherness believe can be way more
powerful in healing and transforming ourselves than anyone can ever
imagine. A thousand days of meditation cannot do what a few hours of
uninhibited expression and feeling loved can do to a being.
These trips are a platform to make new friendships based on a shared
purpose, These can result in long lasting relationships.
These trips are especially for people –men as well as women who want to
travel alone and join other like minded people. Our trips would be
enjoyed more by people who seek more space and expression in their
lives.

willing to bond with others will enjoy our trips more and also
contribute more towards making these trips richer for others
accompanying them. In order to make the most of these trips you must
have an intent space to really let go and allow yourself your full
experience.
Note : Using substances or alcohol is not encouraged on our
trips, we don’t have any judgment on it, It is up to an individual to
take his own decisions however the whole intention of these trips is to
feel uninhibited and be crazy without using substances. And I personally
believe that when we begin to understand ourselves and why we want to
use substances, we would come face to face with a lot of our other unmet
needs and repressed emotions. When we commit ourselves towards taking
care of ourselves and working towards meeting all our needs as well as
feeling our feelings then we wouldn’t want to be in these foggy states
of mind induced by substances.
So if you are looking for a bar- be que along the bonfire and getting
drunk we advise that you don’t sign up for these trips.
Note: All our trips are usually at relatively unexplored destinations it
