My Travel Story

I've been dealing with anxiety for a few years and started taking yoga one year ago in an attempt to clear my head. I left my first class feeling clear and free for the first time in years from the constant thinking and worrying. This was a big breakthrough for me. I love the physical practice but over this year, I've been trying to dig deeper into the spirituality and meditation in yoga.
I've always wanted to go to India, and now I had even more motivation to go and learn from the source. Recently I got into Operation Groundswells' program India; Mind & Body. This program goes thorugh Rishikesh and Dharamasala and teaches you about Buddhism, ancient and modern Indian traditions, meditation, and leads you into the Himalayas. I'm really excited to go on this journey and learn more about myself and my connection to my mind and body. I am finishing my last year of college and focusing on succesful completion leaves me little to no time for a part time job. I was able to save up some but am falling short to cover all of the expenses. I'm reaching for help from my big family and sweet friends, and with everyones help, it can be a little more possible. I greatly appreciate all donations, big or small, that would help me achieve my goal and get me to India on my spiritual journey.
