Testimonies not just of place, but of what moved within
"Hey love - i just wanted to genuinely thank you from the bottom of my heart for such an amazing trip to Kasar Devi. Coming back here really put into perspective even more how magical the trip was - at least for me. The energy was so powerful. Honestly words will never do justice for how I feel about everything and how much it meant to me and still means to me. I feel very fortunate and blessed and hope to go on more adventures with you "
