Transformational Travel for Spiritual Adventurers
Peru, Bolivia & Easter Island
Certain places on earth can serve as powerful aids in outer and inner journeying. I have been taking groups to Peru and Bolivia since 1999 when I attended my first shamanic conference at Lake Titicaca. It was organised by Jorge Luis Delgado and there were Andean cosmologists, coca leaf readers and shamans from around South America. We were lead in sacred ceremonies by local shamans and the opening of the fourth 11.11 gate at the interdimensional doorway. We also worked with Pacha Mama (Mother Earth) and the Apus (Mountain Spirits).
The experience was so amazing and the people so beautiful, that I was inspired to share this with others by taking groups. Upon arrival each year we are greeted with "Welcome Home" and it really does feel like you are answering a call to return.
We travel in small groups by plane, train, private boats and buses, with our own guides and interpreters. We visit some of the major sacred sites such as Machu Picchu, Cusco & Sacred Valley, home of the ancient mystery schools. Also Lake Titicaca with its Islands of the Sun & Moon, Peace & Love and Uros Floating Reed Islands, plus Tiwanaku, Sillustani, Copacopana, Aramu Muru Doorway, Nazca Lines, Amazon and more; where we work with local shamans joining them in ceremony and meditations. Their wisdom and feeling is inherited from generations of this work with the Earth. There have been many ceremonies since, the activation of the golden solar disc, the 11.11.11 and the 12.12.12.

Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the local villages and market places where you will be tempted to buy hand-woven alpaca wool rugs and clothes, hand crafted jewellery and unique artefacts at very reasonable prices. The sounds of the Andean music will resonate in your memory forever.
We stay in a variety of accomodation from mostly 4 star hotels to rooms in the villager's homes, thus meeting the colourful local people and experiencing their generosity.

Usually we go on these journeys for approximately 3-4 weeks including travel time and the itinerary changes each year. Sometimes we stop over at Easter Island for a few days, sometimes we visit the Nazca area and fly over the Nazca Lines, or we visit Bolivia or the Amazon Rainforest.
For each person who joins me on one of these tours, I sponsor the establishment of income producing village based activities in remote communities in the High Andes Mountains. Such as food production, general health & nutrition, new education skills & technologies etc. through my partnership with True Living Heart foundation.

Easter Island is known by the locals as Rapa Nui and is famous for its huge stone statues. On my first visit to this tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean between Tahiti and Chile, I met and stayed with Anna, who was as a young girl, guide to Thor Heyerdahl when he was studying there. He was the famous archeologist/explorer who set out to prove that the ancient Incas from Peru, Equador and Chile could have built reed boats and travelled across to Easter Island. He was responsible for the Kon-Tiki Expedition and had a raft built from the Lake Titicaca reeds and sailed across in 101 days. He also spent several years there researching the giant stone statues and stone work and found amazing links with pre Inkan Peru. Today there is a strong Polynesian influence in the local culture. The tiny triangle shaped island has a volcano on each corner, with lakes in their craters and over 20,000 archeological sites.

The month I spent in Peru with Judy and the group was one of the most amazing times in my life. The energy of the place and the unbelievably kind people who reside there is something that just has to be experienced. It was a stark reminder that we all need to unclutter our lives. We spent a month hiking to Spiritual sites with Shaman, doing ceremony and meeting some amazing local people. The conference at the Lake Titicaca had about 250 people from all over the world and many local Shaman, all gathered together for one purpose - to activate the golden solar disc. I met some really amazing people at the conference and I have kept in close contact with them. The experience was just too great to really describe in words. Even the food was unbelievable, it was such a high energy it didn’t take much to sustain you. I lost a bunch of weight (emotional and physical) and feel so much better for it. Since being home and back at work, everything is different. I highly recommend taking a power place journey with Judy, you will never be the same again.

Uluru & Central Australia
In June 2015 we visited Uluru for a week including a visit from His Holiness, the Dalai Lama.
Included was 6 nights accommodation in cabins at the campground, entry into the National Park, tickets to see His Holiness, private guided tours around the base of Uluru, to the Valley of the Winds, Kata Tjuta, & to Cave Hill Rock Art site, sunrise and sunset viewing of the rock, transfers from and to airport, visit to the Cultural Centre, free time to rest by the many swimming pools etc.
If you would like to join us for 2 weeks usually in April, visiting places like Alice Springs, The East and West Macdonnell Ranges, Rainbow Valley, Uluru & Kata Tjuta, Cave Hill rock art site & Kings canyon etc, please contact us for the itinerary.
In November 2014- we organized the "Reconnecting Gondwana" Conference - 6 days with local aboriginals, Maori elder from New Zealand, Tibetan monk, Peru shaman and Tor from UK........
Join us in the Heart Centre of our amazing land
This amazing photo of the double rainbow was taken by Gwenn Starr.
For each person who joins us one one of these trips, we give employment to an indigenous trainer for a year in a remote community. This is via our partnership with the Global Giving Initiative, Buy1Give 1
Experience a day with Anangu traditional owners out on their lands, learning about local culture and the 'Tjukurpa' (traditional law/lore), bush tucker and medicines. This is a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and interact with the local people and see how they survive in this harsh environment. Depending on the season you visit the area, you could experience digging for witchetty grubs, eating bush lollies, drinking grevillea 'lemonade' or eating honey ants. You will also see how to make 'Kiti' (spinifex glue) and its many uses, as well as learn about the many medicinal plants in the area.
Walk around the base of the rock while listening to stories of the Dreamtime. A lot of visitors come to Uluru just to climb the rock and view the sunset, but the Anangu prefer that we don’t climb, suggesting that we walk around the base instead. It makes the locals sad that visitors swarm like ants over the tracks of their ancestors simply to get to the top. There is much more to be learnt by visiting the sites around the base of Uluru including rock art sites.
You will also be guided through the brilliant desert night sky with stories from a variety of cultures from around the world and will learn to recognize some of the constellations & planets and gain a greater insight into our place in space. Geoff, who will be your guide has experience as a ranger & a tour guide at Uluru, as well as a night sky guide for the 'Sounds of Silence' several years ago.

Hello lovely Judy and Geoff,
I wanted to let you both know how much I enjoyed my two weeks in Alice and Uluru, it was amazing. I know if I hadn't been with you both my experiences would have been very different.
I can't believe how much we did, saw and learned. I feel very privileged. I already miss the red sand, art and general vibe of the desert.
I have made contact with an artist run contemporary gallery in Alice Springs called Watch this Space and I am donating a drawing to a fund raising exhibition in May, titled 60 000 Artists, it's to do with artists interpretation of climate change on the planet. I feel like this opportunity is just the beginning for me to be involved with life in the Desert.
Thank you both so much, you are both such beautiful, patient people.
Much love, Hannah
Thank you Judy for the photos, but a huge thank you to you and Geoff for the wonderful trip - I loved it and words cannot fully express how wonderful the experience was. Love and Hugs, Yvonne xo
" It was fantastic ! We had a great time. There are many beautiful and amazing places to see. The local indigenous stories add to the enjoyment and appreciation of the areas. The indigenous hosts we met are friendly and generous in sharing their knowledge and stories. We felt genuinely welcomed by them. All with wonderful traveling companions."

Hi Judy! How have you been? Life has taken many interesting turns for me. All good though! Can’t believe how much my life has changed since my trip to Uluru with you both! That trip was a catalyst that completely turned my life in a different direction! I think it was the grounding & earthing effect! I’m so grateful to you both for that! Carolyn Greer
Hi Judy
Just wanted to say another thank you to you and Geoff for all you provided on our trip to Uluru. I had a feeling it would be an amazing journey and it was. Thanks so much for your organisation and the care and love you and Geoff offered from the moment we started out.
Lots of love,

To Dear Judy,
Just a note to say THANKYOU for all the work you did in organizing Uluru. Certainly a wonderful experience and a magical place; highlighted also by Geoff’s knowledge of the area and wonderful stories of myths and legends. A wonderful insight of the stars and planets has inspired me to do more stargazing. A great experience for the reconnection to our Earth Mother.
With love,

hen we will fly over to magical Morocco, the gateway to Africa, to do our part in building the bridge between Glastonbury and Mt. Toubkal in the High Atlas Mountains. (Future cardinal heart centre of the planet) For more information on this see the book – “The Rainbow Serpent and the Holy Grail” by Robert Coon
I lived in Morocco for 2 years back in 1980s and learnt to speak Arabic which comes in very handy travelling around there. I also have family (in-laws) living there and have returned a few times over the years to visit them and friends. After going back and taking our daughter to see her grandmother and cousins etc. in 2011, then again in 2015, people who had been to Peru or Central Australia with us started to ask me to take them over, so this destination was added to my trip list.
We will visit places like Marrakech with its famous “Jma El Fna” square with acrobats, musicians, story tellers, bell ringing water carriers and snake charmers etc. Plus the Koutoubia Minaret & Mosque where 5 times a day the call to prayer for Muslims echoes across the city, the beautiful Yves St. Laurent garden, “Jardin Marjorelle”, with art gallery, its water features and plants from across the world, a peaceful haven amidst the chaos of the city.
Get lost in the souk, where kilometres of labyrinth like passage ways lead past market stalls & weave on and on forever in every direction. Go shopping or just photograph things such as leather goods, gold or silver jewellery, ceramics, carpets, olives, spices, nuts and fruits, clothes etc. If you do lose your way, ask a shop keeper for directions back to the Jma El Fnaa square, where in the early evening it comes alive and we can have dinner here and watch the scene unfold.
The stunning Ourika valley is just outside Marrakech and Setti Fatma is where the road of Route d’Ourika ends in the High Atlas Mountains. We will stop at the village of Setti Fatma which has numerous little outdoor restaurants along the river bank, a few souvenir shops & guides to lead the way to the famous waterfalls. On the way back visit medicinal botanical gardens, see Argan oil being pressed, pottery being made and fired and traditional village house etc.
Next we head to Essaouira on the Atlantic Coast, where we can start the day with a hammam, the traditional bath house, then walk through the old town or medina with Samira as our guide. Also a trip to the souk or market place to see the spices, silver, carpets, leatherwork etc., then buy food for our Moroccan traditional cooking class, which we can then eat on our roof top terrace.

Visit the Thuya wood workers at the Skala, the artists and the Ramparts with stunning views across the Portuguese brass cannons overlooking the sea, the harbour and the islands of Mogador. Harbour visit to see fresh fish and buy sardines straight off the boats & cooked while you wait.
We now head further south to stay overnight in Taroudant in the Souss valley, with a stop off at Paradise Valley, the beautiful palm lined gorge with swimming hole & waterfalls. We are now in a mainly Berber population and the whole town is walled with the gates still intact. We’ll visit the old renovated Kasbah Tizourgane on the way to Tafroute to see the rock formations of the Lions Head, Napoleans Hat etc. & the beautiful Amelyn Valley. With a visit to 3 nearby Berber villages whose livelihood is honey, olive oil and pottery, then visit an orphanage which will be the beneficiary of a percentage of any profits from these trips. You may also feel inspired to give??? We will also go on a caleche (horse drawn carriage) trip around the walls of town and the tannery.
