We Just Celebrated 25 Years!

January 2024 was our final signature pilgrimage and chanting retreat in South India, a life-changing event we've offered since 1999. We are grateful for its successful completion and the lives transformed through this experience.

"“I felt I was coming home when I arrived. And I would not keep returning if it were not for Russill & Asha. In fact, because of them, I cannot stay away.” "

What's special about what we offer?

Over the past two decades, we’ve taken many hundreds of westerners to India and facilitated their spiritual transformation in remarkable ways. The extent to which people are affected by the scope and depth of their transformation inspires them to repeatedly return a fourth and fifth time: some even sixth and seventh times. 

Why? The video testimonials below from our pilgrims explain it best...

A JOURNEY LIKE NO OTHER

This life-transforming experience attracts seekers from around the world. Journey to Find the Other Half of Your Soul is our signature chanting pilgrimage and meditation retreat in India now in its 24th year!

PROFOUND EXPERIENCES

Our expertise lies in creating profound spiritual experiences for our participants using the skills we have developed over thirty years. 

And we are right there, as facilitators, preparing you for them, holding the space while you have them, and then helping you assimilate them. 

Our pilgrims return with us repeatedly because of how well we care for them during their time with us in India on many different levels.

RARE EXPERIENCES AND A WORLD-CLASS RETREAT

During our pilgrimage, we take you to special places in South India and introduce you to experiences that few westerners who travel in India can gain access. We do this in addition to offering world-class retreat sessions that deepen your knowledge and spiritual experience through presentations, exquisite live music, group chanting, sitting meditations, walking meditations, sacred movement meditations, and Tantric sound healing sessions.

 

SPIRITUAL POWERSPOTS  

The places we take our pilgrims are genuine spiritual power spots for two reasons:

1) These locations maintain an unbroken link to an ancient living tradition.

2) The programs and rituals we conduct specifically for our pilgrims in these spaces.

 


Our pilgrims experience "thin spaces," meaning the boundaries between the visible and invisible worlds are transparent. Our sensitivities heighten in such spaces to which we bring the power and depth of the practices we teach on pilgrimage. As each day of our pilgrimage unfolds, our souls strengthen.

""I want to thank both of you again for the extraordinary experience.  It would not be an exaggeration to say that it changed my life.  I can’t imagine the amount of planning, preparation, and coordination to facilitate that magical, mystical joining of a group of strangers!""


Rev. Linda George, Army Chaplain, Retired

FUN, FOCUS, AND CARE

We take care of the practical aspects of the journey so that our pilgrims can focus on their spiritual transformation.  Although "transformation" sounds heavy, the process we have designed over 23 years facilitates a lightness of heart and spirit. Our pilgrims have a lot of fun on this journey. If they didn't, they wouldn't be returning so many times with us.

"My heart continues to ring with the depth of the Presence that opened within my soul during this thoughtful and inspiring pilgrimage."

SHED THE OLD: AWAKEN THE NEW!

During our chanting pilgrimage and meditation retreat, our pilgrims shed psychic and physical weight as they awaken to the next level of their spiritual potential. 

We have designed our sessions and our programs in India to maximize your potential to awaken spiritually and grow. 

Our pilgrims repeatedly comment on the immense enrichment of their souls when they are with us in India. 

YOUR SPIRITUAL MAKEOVER IN INDIA

The intention behind our spiritual makeover in India is for participants to return with power and confidence to wherever in the world they reside.

Each pilgrim takes back specific spiritual empowerments relevant to their soul's needs at the time

This transformational experience in India is facilitated by Asha and Russill Paul, who grew up there but have lived in North America for the more significant part of their lives. 

They combine decades of spiritual and professional expertise to guide their pilgrims in India.
