Tour to Thailand - Women Only - Jan. 2-14, 2013 January 1, 2013

Come to Thailand, the “Land of Smiles”, to feel the power and beauty of it’s people and the elephant. This is an extraordinary opportunity to be with elephants and their mahouts (caretakers) within a small group setting. Together we will explore the experience through writing, sharing, and reflection – a journey to connect with our own deepest nature that at one time was in sync with the earth and its animals.
The intention of this tour is to educate and inspire. At the beginning of the 20th century, there was said to be 100,000 elephants in Thailand. Now there is reported to be approximately 2500 captive elephants and 2400 elephants in the wild. This will be a time to hear from elephant experts living in Thailand some of the ways that they are working to protect the elephant. For further info visit my Projects page on this website.
