Estonia Tallinn In case you haven't heard, Scandinavia is the new Alaska. Enjoy soothing pastel skies free of ambient radiation now lingering off America's Pacific Coast. This tour is a Travel Meditation™ rich medieval culture. Land in Copenhagen then on to Tallinn, Estonia, for a Dharma talk in its town square by the Dalai Lama August 2011! Cobblestone streets, quaint handicraft shops and a moment's pause in crisp breezes from the Baltic Sea clears the mind. Lama Rangdrol does just that (pictured left), and you can join him in an experience guaranteed to free the mind and open the senses. Tallinn, a celebrity hideaway sometimes known for spontaneous expressions of liberation, is the perfect escape from modernity and its never-ending distractions. Images more info |

Amsterdam A relaxing stroll through Amsterdam's legendary canals is a perfect way to ease the mind after a session of teaching and meditation led by Lama Rangdrol. One of the few places in the world one can visit a museum on break and see Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Manet, Monet, and other great artists side by side (Dazzling..) then breathe and return to the cushion. A visit to the Tropen (Tropical) museum will challenge the mind with its vestiges of cultures gone by. Or, one can haggle with locals over the relevance of the Slavery Monument in in Ooster Park. Amsterdam boasts the largest Gay Pride parade in the world during the sumner, and quietly slips by a community wide romp through the streets in black face as Schwartz Pete during the Christmas holidays. Never a dull moment day or night. An intriguing place to experience Travel Meditation™. Images more info |
