Why should I travel with your company?
Simple! Our intent is for your personal growth and development and your spiritual transformation. We travel to beautiful places like most other travel organizations but unlike them, we focus on hours of time working with you during your process. Inner peace is what we endeavor to share with you, and by experiencing this on your journey we hope you become inspired to live your life in this way.
We teach you not just with words, but by example how this is possible. In other words we live what we teach and our hearts are with you 100%. You will feel cared for, respected and loved unconditionally because this is how we treat ourselves. We are at your service and in service to spirit.
How do I know you’re reputable, what do you do to protect your participants?
First and foremost we are members of ASTA, the American Society of Travel Agents, the world’s largest and most influential association for travel professionals. In addition, we are accredited by IATAN who sets stringent business standards that travel agencies must meet. Sheri A Rosenthal DPM, Inc. dba Journeys of the Spirit® is registered with: The State of Florida as a Seller of Travel – #ST35968, The State of Washington – as a Seller of Travel #603-050-619, The State of Hawaii – Travel Agency #6748, The State of Iowa – Travel Agency #986, The State of Washington – Travel Agency #TAR6748, CST 2102811-50. You can also check us out at the Online BBB.
Not many Spiritual Journey businesses protect you in this way! We only travel to areas that we feel are prudent choices. In today’s world there is no corner of the planet that is not susceptible to violence, so we do our best to choose as wisely as possible and partner with companies that are dependable and have served us well. Also, we carry Tour Operators Travel Insurance (errors and omissions).
How do I know what clothing and medicines to bring or vaccinations I should have before these trips?
The information we supply to our participants is quite thorough. We let you know for each particular spiritual journey what things you should bring to make you absolutely comfortable. For us to concentrate on our spiritual work it is essential that our rational mind be at ease and our physical bodies well taken care of.
We also have a complete list of medications and vaccinations that we recommend; although we clearly state that it behooves each participant to discuss this information with their own travel physician or the local board of health office in their home town. The Center for Disease Control website is also an excellent resource for up-to-date travel health information.
Do I need a passport to travel?
Absolutely yes! We require that you travel with your passport even to Mexico and Canada. Most countries today require you travel with a passport that is due to expire more than 6 months from the date of your departure. It is also advisable to make a copy of your passport and pack it into another section of your baggage just in case you lose it while you are overseas. It makes it much easier to get a new passport when you have all your information readily available.
These journeys seem a bit time intensive. Will I have any down time to relax and get some shopping done or journaling?
Balance is the key for creating a lovely, healthy and supportive life dream. We endeavor to do that on own sacred journeys and retreats so you can see for yourself how in our busy lives we can do our spiritual work, have fun and still have time for ourselves and what we need to do. Yes, we do process work and have group gatherings, but we also have time to have fun, relax, socialize and be private and quiet!
I’m not sure what you mean by transformational journeys and what does that mean for me?
Our spiritual journeys and retreats are designed to shift your level of consciousness slowly over the time of the trip without you even realizing it. We exist in a hectic “dream” filled with many things that hook our attention away from our inner selves and divine aspects. We spend a lot of our time in our heads rather than in our hearts.
Our integrity is channeled from our hearts and these spiritual journeys give us the opportunity to shift our point of view from mind to heart so that we can have clarity about our lives and selves. We help you be able to create a new life or yourself with awareness, love and self respect.
What if we are a group of friends or family coming together, can you give us a discount?
We think it is great to come as a group and encourage this strongly! If you are bringing a group we are happy to extend a discount to you. It does depend on which trip you are referring to since they all have different cost structures involved. Just e-mail us with your details and we will do whatever we can to help!
